Booking hotel room in advance is a necessity for any tourist or businessman going abroad. To make sure you are not left out in the cold next time you visit a foreign country, here is a step by step guide that will help you book a hotel room.

1. Decide on a hotel

Make sure your hotel is close to where you will need to go and has the necessary facilities that you need. A businessman may not need a view but will require internet connection or a conference room. So choose wisely.  If you find a list of hotels beforehand, it'll save enough time.

2. Booking through Booking Wesites

Visit an online booking website. There will be a form - usually on the front page. It will ask you to enter check-in and check-out dates, number of rooms you want, and how many of you there are. If you are planning to travel and wish to enjoy your trip thoroughly, use the following web-sites:

a) booking.com b) hotels.com c) tripadvisor.com.

3. Booking through a Website

Visit the website of the hotel you have chosen and search for a booking section. Most of the time hotel websites provide a booking form on the front page. Write your name, give your identity, phone number and e-mail address along with check in and out dates, number of rooms you want to book in the form and press enter. Website will provide you information whether the room is available. If you agree with the rates, terms and conditions provided by the website, press enter.

4. Booking through Telephone

You can find a phone number of a hotel from their website. It is usually mentioned under the “Contact Us” tab. Dial the number and the receptionist will pick it up. Tell them the dates of your arrival and departure, your check - in and - out time and finally the number of rooms you will need. The receptionist will tell you about availability of the room/s and prices. If you agree with the rates, ask them to book it for you. They will usually make the reservation under your name or your company name.

Here are some phrases you can use on the phone to make a booking in English:

- I´d like to book a (single / double / twin) room, please.

- Are there any rooms available? 

- What is the price for a night?

- How much is a room for one person/two people? 

- When is the check-in?

- When is the check-out?

5. Confirm Reservation

After getting all the necessary details, confirm your reservation and write down the conformation number.
