How do you book your perfect hotel with minimal hassle? Well, that is why we are here to assist you.

1. Ditch the Conventional Online Bookings

Whenever we think of going on a trip our mind straight goes to the online hotel booking platforms. Well, sometimes it works out just fine but other times it can go horribly wrong, especially during the peak season.

Since the demand will be high, your online booking may not be perceived as final booking by the hotels in the area. They might even say they are already booked. This can be a huge bummer and spoil your vacation from the start. Some online platforms might take the fee yet the hotels deny you an available room. 

So ditch the online hotel booking platforms during the on season to save yourself some energy and lots of money!

2. Contact Hotels Directly

If you have found a perfect hotel to stay in and are about to book online, then you should take a moment and contact the hotel directly. This will help you know about the online booking process and whether they will be able to give you room upon your arrival. 

The bonus point is that you might yourself get a good deal if you are traveling during off season and hotels are eagerly waiting for more visitors. 

3. Find a Local Broker

Most of the places in India have several local brokers or tour guides who are more than ready to get you a decent place, of course they might be working on commission. 

It’s a good deal if you are going to book a hotel upon your arrival anyway. Although do research the popular hotels of the area to get an idea about the basic amenities and services offered by hotels.

4. Fix a Budget for Hotels 

Make sure to have a fixed budget for your stay at hotels. The hotel prices do vary depending on seasons and number of tourists visiting the city.

The price of hotels can vary from Rs. 4,000 to 20,000 per night depending on the hotel and location during the on season. So if someone says you can get for a really low price expect that to be a scam. 

5. Do check the reviews about hotels 

Before selecting any random hotel, make sure to check out the reviews or ratings given by the customers. This will help you make a decision and save yourself from an awful hotel experience during your vacation.

Conclusion

Overall, if you are visiting Manali during peak months, you might have to book hotels at the time of arrival or via contacting the hotels directly.

Hopefully, these tips will help you do the booking in the right manner so you get a nice hotel as soon as you reach your destination. That will be all for now, we hope you have a great holiday.
