Direct hotel reservations to confirm the accommodation for your vacation are still not a popular practice. Reservations through Booking.com or another reservation site are still the preferred choice of future guests.
Reasons usually are:
- The possibility to choose between several options
- The idea of always finding the cheapest solution.
- The confidence of a secure transaction
What are the benefits of direct hotel reservations?
Direct reservations offer many possibilities.
- With direct booking you will receive advice according to your needs, choosing the best solution for the vacation of your dreams. Very often on booking portals only part of the possible offers of the structures are displayed, because they are standardized systems. If you contact the location directly, you will be able to find the right solution for the vacation you are looking for.
It is true that on the web you can compare several proposals, but this does not mean that you will find the cheapest solution for the structure you would like to choose. The commissions of the portals are very high and it can happen that the rates you find are increased to cover the costs. That’s why very often the direct rates are lower than those found on the portals or at least equal. Trust me they will never be higher, it would be counterproductive.
Accommodations that choose to use direct booking will always look for known and guaranteed methods for online payments, for yours but also for their safety. An alternative would be a bank transfer, which, to tell you the truth, is a much faster way to make refunds. So, if someone would ask for a trip cancellation after a direct booking, it would always be easier to get a refund. Goodbye to long wait times or repeated requests to support. All it takes is an email or a phone call.
- The contact with someone who will be there to welcome you and who is passionate about this work. Writing and communicating with the staff or the owner of the chosen accommodation allows you to immediately immerse yourself in your vacation and gives you the serenity of finding someone to assist you.
- The possibility of flexible dates. What do flexible dates mean? It means that if the property you chose for your dream vacation is not available on the dates you put into the system, you can always find together other dates that may work for you. You can anticipate or postpone your vacation or, if necessary, add or reduce guests.
What could be better than planning your vacation with someone local?
With direct booking you have the opportunity to communicate with people who work and live in the place and you can ask for advice on what to do, where to go, how to move or, as in our case, you can have the opportunity to book exclusive experiences designed only for our guests to offer a complete and unforgettable experience during the vacation.
The booking portals are excellent showcases and opportunities to reach all parts of the world and our Residences are visible on the most important portals such as Booking, Airbnb, Vrbo, but from today we also have our own direct booking system.
