About online booking

suiskipas · Post time 5-1-2009 10:33 PM

nak tanye sket kan, ade tak sesape yg slalu buat online booking utk book hotel...

contoh cam latestays, asia web direct, asiarooms.com, dan kebanyakkan online booking dr website oversea la...aku nk wat booking melalui latestays, tp risau plak bile kite booking, sampai kat hotel tuh die kate takde booking dibuat...

ade sesape penah booking melalui latestays.com...aku dah cube, die suruh baya 10% jer..betul ke yg lebih tuh kite bayar direct to hotel bile check-in...risau plak bile sampai nnt die mintak xtra charge plak...

sape2 yg ade pengalam, meh la share...tq in advance

aku dah banyak kali pakai asiatravel.com...setakat nih ok jugaklah sebab kredit kad hanya dicaj bila bilik available..ada juga option untuk pay upon checkout..

Masalah bagi sesetengah onlinebooking, dia immediately charge CC bila kita submit booking walaupun bilik tak tahu available ke tak..kalau tak available, menangis jugak nak tunggu refund..

ade gak ek cam tuh ye azam??...andai kate kite tunggu refund dr website yg base kt oversea, camne kite nak contact derang ek??

ermmmtakde ke sesape yg penah booking dgn latestays...aku nak wat booking asap nih....nak tanye pengalaman org lain dulu...baru konpiden sket...

i ingat lagi betapa nervous i am about booking hotels online. but there's always the first time. thankfully, everything goes well. nway, i booked thru jakartahotels.com.

mula2 nk book thru phone, tp noticed dat its much cheaper to book online. so wat i did, i called up the hotel and asked them do the 'online agent' betol2 do business with them or not. lepas tue baru i booked online. lepas tue called sekali lagi to reconfirm my bookings. ehehe... mmg byk steps. told ya i was so nervous. juz wanna make sure... hope dat helps.

latestays.com tak pernah la. Kalu directrooms.com, asiarooms.com & hoteltravel.com biasa la. Mmg so far reliable la, tak pernah lg ade problem. kalu kite dah buat payment tu, dia akan email kite voucher, tunjuk kat receiption masa sampai hotel nnti, mmg bilik dah secure la, takyah nak risau. Yg hoteltravel.com tu takyah byr ape2 pun dulu, deposit pun takde, tp bilik mmg dah secure.

from my experience, i find booking direct is cheaper

u cari aje hotels thrugh websites cam directrooms.com, asiarooms.com and then bila dah jumpa hotel yg u nak or berkenan nak book, cuba google and then go directly into their websites and mintak quotation

so far i buat, semua cheaper than going through websites yg mcm asiarooms.com, directrooms.com, venere.com

pengalaman aku, tak pernah la booking hotel ..
tapi booking flights kat CheapOair.com

so far, ok .. tapi macam nadz79 cakap,
banyak sikit steps dia .. kena rajin bertanya ..
pastu kena call airlines tuh utk confirmkan ..

alhamdulillah la setakat nih tak de masalah..

kire berbaloi gak la kan booking online nih, ramai kate lagi murah...leh la aku gune utk next nye holiday...hihihi..

ma pulak'

hotel ma booking berjaya langakwi dlu..juz isi form dlm website hotel tu then gne cc tuk buat payment booking..

nanti ade org fon kita confirmkn n bg invois bagai..ade jugak yg contact by email..kne print out details (num booking)semua tu then bile cekin hotel juz tunjukkn' ade lah biliknyaa

n duit cc tu ma dpt balik bile cekout.kirenya masa booking tak ditolak la.

jadinya betul dh tuan tanah tanya tuh,,nanti kita bayar 10% deposit dulu..by cc duit tu dapat balik bile cekout

actually the steps x byk, simple jer. book online nie mudah sebenarnya. cuma bagi cc number jer. i jer yg meng-complicated-kan things. sbb first time kan. kenalah berhati2 n byk tanya...

satu lagi kebaikan book online. when i called the hotel to book, dia ckp xde bilik sedangkan dalam online ada. so i tanya lah apsal jd mcm tue pulak. so he explains. rupa2nya pihak hotel mmg dh awal2 allocate their rooms for the agents. the agents are given certain time to book the rooms, kalau dh sampai time, agents akan bg balik the rooms to the hotels. dats why lah.

pernah book through hostelbookers.com..
ok je.. dia charge cc 10% of the total .. then balance bayar masa check in.
no hidden charge ke extra charge whatsoever..

heheh bukan susah ..cuma berhati2 ..

seben prnh wat booking kt asiarooms (trip bangkok) dgn agoda (trip bandung)...asiaroom mmg reliable wlpn kena byr full amt...provided jek booking no. kt hotel dan tak perlu byr lg la upon check out...asiaroom jgk takkn charged cc smpi booking confirmed...once dh confirmed bilik available then asiaroom akan htr email notify pastu bru dowang charged cc...booking thru dowang lebih murah banding book direct to hotel...tp dlm masa yg sama seben pn notify hotel melalui email psl booking tuh takut dowang kater tak dpt info...so far ok...

tp dgn agoda seben dh confirmed booking tup2 tukor plan plk...tak jadik amik dgn agoda...agoda dh pn charged cc pastu seben wat cancel booking kena la charged dlm rm50...refund balance dpt dlm masa seminggu...dowang akan notify melalui email then seben check cc statement ok jek...sume under control...hehe...

gerun jugak bila dipikir psl technology sekarang nie. semuanya main click2 jer. mmg x tercapai dek akal. eceh wah.

dhlah i nie bukannya savvy psl bende high-tech2 nie. ishkk.. mintak dijauhkan segala yg x baik...amin

aku guna goholiday airasia ngan yg firefly.. sdetakat ni x de masalah.. lagi satu dpt lagi murah dr hege biasa..

lagi satu.. masa g sabah.. kitaorg nak stay kat kinabalu pine resort.. bila call hotel n travel agency lain.. cakap hotel dh penuh.. tp bila check kat goholiday AA ada plak.. so bila bookin situ.. xde kene extra charge ke apa.. n then lagi cepat dr yg lain.. sbb yg lain kene tgu plg lambat 48hrs..

opie5662 · Post time 7-1-2009 09:49 AM

kalu cam AA goholiday tu mmg le leh cye jugak kan...in case kalu ade masalah kite tau nk refer kt ne...takut2 kalau gune oversea nye...kalau ade masalah, susah sket le nk berurusan agaknye...sbb tuh aku masih tak berani nk booking online dr obersi nye website...tp tak dinafikan, harga derang mmg murah..

nadz79 · Post time 8-1-2009 02:12 AM

opie...
why dun u cari the hotels number dulu. kat website agent tue mmg x letak no tel hotel tue. so u kena cari sendiri lah. lepas tue u call up the hotel, tanya diaorg yg website agent tue betol2 exist or not... boleh dipercayai x... no harm in asking. i'm sure the hotel ppl will help 2 explain... dats wat i did bila book online hotel ibis tamarin kt jakarta...

East ada kemusykilan sket......

Kalo kita book hotel katakan melalui agoda.com ke, hoteltravel.com ke, memang dia mintak no cvc kad kredit kita ke? Bukan ke no cvc tu sulit @ x leh dedah sebarangan?

Dulu East pernah book hotel online, tapi direct ke website hotel tu. Xdek la plak dia mintak no cvc...sekadar dia mintak no kad kredit kita jek...tapi bila East nk book melalui agoda.com, dia mintak cvc plak...betul ke x betul ni? Agoda.com tu boleh dipercayai x?
