Daily

Before learning how to make an hotel reservation, it is essential to be familiar with hotel terms!

A daily rate of a hotel, for example, corresponds to a period of at least 24 h, in which a fixed amount is charged for the guest's stay at the establishment.

In other words, according to the schedules stipulated by the local management, the tourist has the right to use the hotel facilities during a pre-determined period, no extra charges.

During this window of time, guests will be able to sleep, go out, walk around and have free access to the place.

Generally, the schedules that govern a daily rate are known as check-in (entry time) and check-out (departure time). 

Check-in

O check-in in a hotel is equivalent to entry moment – or registration – of the guest on the premises.

Their hours tend to vary between 12am and 16pm, in Brazil, and can be made more flexible according to the establishment's policies.

During this process, it is common for tourists to begin their service at reception, providing identification documents and proof of reservation.

After this period, travelers receive their room keys and are free to use the hotel's facilities.

Check-out

Unlike the check-in: check-out concerns the moment of departure or end of the stay in a hotel, by the guest.

Varying between 10am and 12pm, in Brazil, times can also be negotiated directly with the establishment, subject to extra charges and fees.

During the check-out, the traveler returns the room keys to reception, ending their stay and releasing the accommodation for periodic cleaning.

However, if necessary, the guest can still stay in the common spaces and areas at no extra cost.

Tips on how to make an error-free hotel reservation

Now that the essential terms have been clarified, it's time to understand how to make a hotel reservation without errors or headaches!

One of the most important steps when making a hotel reservation is, precisely, the initial research, before starting the trip.

During this process, it is important:

  • Take a good look at booking sites, comparing prices and accommodation;
  • Be aware of each establishment's cancellation policies;
  • Understand what fees are or are not charged by the hotel, and whether there are extra charges when checking in;
  • Be aware of the daily period and check-in and check-out times;
  • Check if there are benefits for guests, such as Breakfast included, free parking, upgrade room etc.;
  • And finally, read the comments and reviews left by previous guests.

After initial research, a successful hotel reservation includes:

  • The choice of establishment, accommodation and number of nights;
  • Confirmation of reservations;
  • Confirmation of check-in and check-out times;
  • What is included in the accommodation price;
  • Confirmation of fees and charges;
  • And the possibility or not of transport from the airport or bus station.

Is it worth using a booking website?

Although one of the main steps in making a hotel reservation is using travel apps, it is not always more advantageous to make payments and confirmations through them.

After all, direct negotiation with the establishment can guarantee numerous discounts, benefits and advantages for guests.

Despite being essential when researching prices and conditions, third-party hotel booking tools often charge extra fees and charges.

Furthermore, direct reservations can be made with the establishments' own employees, ensuring better and fairer negotiations!
