There is no need to be afraid of booking online - it is easy, fast and secure.

On which website to book a hotel?

We recommend searching for hotels on specialized services that are looking for hotels on several booking systems at once (such as Booking, Ostrovok, Agoda, etc.). Why? This will increase your chances of finding a cheap hotel and save time. The best sites for booking hotels are Roomguru.ru and Skyscanner Hotels, and we use them. These search engines will compare prices in a few seconds and find the best deal. Using their example, we will show you how to independently book a hotel online.

Another reason why it is better to book a hotel in advance in search engines than to search for a hotel on the spot - usually the cost on the Internet is slightly lower.

How to book a hotel online yourself?

Everything is easy and simple. Here is a sample hotel booking:

Step 1. We go to the hotel search engine Roomguru.ru and type in the desired city, dates, number of people.

Step 2. Change the language and currency at the top, if required.

Step 3. Sorting the results (you can apply multiple filters at once):

  • by stars (1-5 *);
  • by distance (for example, from the beach;
  • assessment of tourists;
  • price.

We advise you to first sort by distance - select the desired area, point of interest, beach, etc., and only then - the rest of the filters.

In the left column there are filters where you can select the type of accommodation (villa / hotel / apartment, etc.), amenities and services (kitchen, Wi-Fi, bath, etc.).

Step 4. Do you want to book a hotel cheaply? Select the item on the left "Profitable proposition", and Roomguru.ru will find hotel promotions. Often this method can save you a lot of money!

Step 5. Choosing a hotel. In the page that opens, you can read the description of the hotel and services, see photos, find out reviews.

Step 6. Scroll down the page and see the prices. Here you need to look carefully, because sometimes the price for the same number on different sites can differ significantly! Choose a room, click "book".

Step 7. Then everything is simple. You will be taken to a page where you need to enter your data - it may look a little different from the screenshot below, but the essence remains the same. If required, we pay for the reservation (it depends on the specific hotel). Sometimes you can book a hotel without prepayment.

Step 8. The hotel reservation will be sent to your e-mail address - it is better to print it or drop it on your phone to show it to the hotel administrator. The coordinates and address of the hotel are also indicated there.

All of the above steps are also relevant for Skyscanner Hotels.

Booking Tips

Several nuances that are important to consider when booking a hotel yourself:
