Do I need a room where smoking is Hotel booking is an integral part of overall travel planning. Fortunately, multiple accommodation options are available in Pakistan. You can go through tons of them to finalize one. But you don’t need any other accommodation, you need the one that fulfills your requirements and helps you get a home-like feeling away from home. Don’t you want that? Of course you do. So, here is my detailed step by step guide that I follow to book the best hotel in Pakistan for an upcoming holiday. Follow my footsteps and make the most of your trip.

Kickstart The Research

I’m strongly against doing zero research for trip planning. I always advise my friends to spend at least one week only on accommodation research. Unless you have last-minute hotel deals to avail, please don’t jump on any deal that seems too good to be true. Keep your coffee mug on your side table, and start looking for different accommodation options. You can begin research via Google. But if you want precise results, go and search on hotel booking search engines. Pro Tip: Sign up for an account, it’s free of cost and ...
... brings many discounts and deals.

Apply Filters During Search

At first, you can randomly search for the best hotels in Swat, Murree, Kalam or any other place. But when time is limited, try setting some filters. Every hotel booking search engine has its specific filters.
When budget is your prime concern: filter results by rental options
When space is your main issue: you can filter results based on deluxe double, triple or quad room. Thanks to the filter option, you can get accurate results as quickly as you want.

Decide About Priorities

Every hotel offers different features and amenities. If you don’t mind paying extra, advanced features are there. You need to be very clear about your priorities and requirements before you start the screening process.
For example ask following questions:

allowed?
Not every hotel allows smoking in the room. If you are a chain smoker, you better find a suitable place.

Do I need a pet-friendly bedroom?
If you are going with pets, you should not assume that every hotel is considerate about pets. Many hotels in Kalam won’t allow pets. So, it’s better to refine your research.

Do I need a complimentary breakfast?
Go for this feature, it saves you from the hassle of locating a restaurant early in the morning.

Do I need a room with a window or balcony?
Try securing a room with a balcony because having a scenic view early in the morning from your balcony will always be quite a refreshing experience.

Should I stay close to the main city area or away from the crowd?
Personally, I book an accomodation away from the hustle and bustle of life. You can find amazing hotels in Murree at Mall road. However, too much foot traffic has spoiled the beauty and peace of the area. Bhurban hotels are away from mall road, they offer you the right amount of peace and serenity. It’s always your personal preference to pick a hotel as per your need. Couples prefer privacy, so selecting a space away from the crowd is a good idea. Kids feel good to stay near playground areas, so you can easily book hotels in Murree near Sozo Adventure park. How you Book a hotel totally depends on your personal preference and requirement.Get answers of all questions and search a hotel accordingly.

Check the Location
You set a price filter, and come across an amazing deal. But please don’t press the hotel booking button unless you check the location of a hotel. Accommodation situated away from the main tourist areas usually have lower rental prices than those close to them. It is vital to check the exact location of a hotel on Google Maps and find nearby sightseeing areas and restaurants. If a hotel has the cheapest rent, you will definitely save money unless it’s located in a far-off place. All the savings become useless because you need to take a long ride to reach your tourist destination.

Check The Deals
Once you find some hotels, which closely meet your selection criteria such as location, pricing, best features, amenities, etc. The next thing you need to do is to open them all in different tabs and start comparing their features. You need to get the best value for your money and this value will be available at an accommodation where you pay less but get more. Also, you need to decide whether you will go with the free cancellation option or not. Keep in mind the free cancellation option offers peace of mind that you can get the refund but it always costs more than no-cancellation. If you are sure that you will start your trip at the right time and will check-in on time, go with a no-cancellation deal and save more money.
