Planning for
holidays can be a nerve-wrecking process especially if you don’t have a lot of
free time to spare. And I have not even mentioned about the dilemma issues that
comes along with the planning process. #firstworldproblems. Traveloka is an
online travelling website for you to save on Flights and Hotels, with over 15
million users already!
Personally,
Accommodation is one of the most essential decisions to tackle first, like duh.
You won’t want to travel all the way to another country just to find out that
you don’t like the hotel. I cannot stop emphasizing on how research is so
important. As much as spontaneity has its own attractiveness to some, I’m the
kind of traveller who prefers to plan every single detail.
Don’t leave out
flights too! It can take up a huge chunk of your travelling expenses and I’d
rather spend my money on food and shopping! It’s convenient when you can
purchase both the air tickets and hotel stay on the same platform so that it is
easier to track.
The Traveloka
website is also really user-friendly and convenient to use! Let me run you
through the simple steps in a while!
Oh! Did you know that Traveloka was also part of KL 2017 as one of their Gold
Sponsors to promote the SEA Games last month.
How to book your hotel
through Traveloka?
1) Under
the hotel tab, pick your destination, date of travel and number of guests/rooms
The app/website
will filter the available hotels during the period of dates you have selected
to narrow down your search.
2) Filter
your search from the left sidebar
Usually, I have
a strict set of requirements when booking for my hotel stay. Budget is a must
of course! For example, I usually try to keep my budget to $100 per night in
Bangkok. I am also very particular about the ratings and reviews. Hence, I will
always pick from 4-5 star ratings only. I also don’t want to stay in apartments
or hostels. You can filter your search according to your personal requirements,
which makes it easier to make a decision!
3) Click
“See Room” and you can find out more information about the hotel on the next
page.
On this page,
you can find more details such as room types, prices, nearby attractions, hotel
facilities, and reviews from other customers.
The ratings are
categorized into 5 different types – Cleanliness, Comfort, Meal, Location and
Service. At least you know the standard of quality for each particular segment.
Reviews are really important to me because it’s definitely more genuine based
on their own experiences.
4) Click
“Book Now” when you have made the decision.
Remember to log
in as Traveloka Club Member and you can get access to deals up to 25% off! Such
a bonus steal!
There is also
absolutely no additional fee other than tax recovery charges.
Overall, I like
how the Traveloka website is very easy to navigate around, user-friendly and
informative. I like how they have a Live Chat function that makes enquiries so
much more hassle-free. Download the Traveloka App to find out more!
Enjoy your
planning!
