HOW TO GET THE BEST DEAL

RE-ORDER the list of hotels that you are presented with by the booking site to ensure you are looking at the best deals and not just their top picks. Options typically include ranking deals according to price, distance from the city centre and reviews.

WHEN you’ve found a hotel you like, check how much it costs on other booking sites as you may find a cheaper deal.

IGNORE discount claims and focus on whether you think you’re getting a good deal now.

ONCE you are sure you’ve found the best price, take a screenshot of the offer by tapping the ‘Print Screen’ buttonn. You can then paste this image into a Word document or email by pressing the Ctrl butthe ton and V at the same time. NEXT, contact the hotel direct and ask them if they can match the price or give you a better room. Send them the screen shot as proof. INVEST in the Lonely Planet or Rough Guide travel books for reliable ratings.
