Very often travelers are advised to make hotel reservations in advance so as not to end up on the street in a foreign city or country, but this can minimize the chances of getting the best room for free. Experienced travelers know a few lifehacks, how to rest in better conditions and not to overpay.

Take your time to register

If there is an opportunity to delay check-in, it should be taken. First-time visitors are usually given keys to mediocre rooms, keeping upgraded rooms for important occasions or guests. However, when demand exceeds the hotel's offerings, tourists may be offered rooms that have been reserved for a "special occasion". This is not, of course, a suite at the price of a standard, but newer or tidier rooms that can be obtained at no extra charge.

Sign up online

Usually there is a loyalty system in many places of rest. For registering on the site, they sometimes offer bonuses, the opportunity to improve your room, to receive a gift upon check-in. You should not neglect such offers, because regular guests are valued by hotels more than casual visitors.

Don't be patient

A very common problem among hotel guests is the defaulting of problems. If at check-in it was stated that the room has air conditioning, TV, view from the window and cleaned room, tourists have the right to ask for another room in case any item is not true. The hotel is interested in good reviews, so in order to avoid a scandal it can offer a better room.
