Why booking direct is always the best idea

How do you find the perfect accommodation for your trip to Rotterdam? Do you spend time researching the location and facilities to see which one suits? Or do you ask for recommendations from friends & family and read reviews? Chances are you’ll use an OTA (online travel agent) at some stage during your search. They make it easy to compare prices and facilities of different properties. When you have decided which property to stay in, make sure to book your hotel Rotterdam directly with the property. Here are some of the many benefits of booking direct:

Best available rates

There is a common misconception when it comes to booking accommodation that online travel agents offer the best value. When you book directly on PREMIER SUITES website or with one of our friendly team, you are guaranteed the best value and price on our accommodation in Rotterdam. We offer our loyal guest access to our special offers and seasonal deals that are not available anywhere else. We are so confident that we have the best rates, we’ll offer a best rate guarantee and will beat any higher price you find by 5%. Simply enter the discount code SAVE or SAVE5 at check out to apply an immediate saving of 5%.

Commission

Did you know that online travel agents such as Booking.com and Expedia charge a large commission on every hotel booking made through their channel? This commission can range from 10-25% per room, forcing hotels to raise their costs and decreasing our profits. One of the many benefits of booking direct is that every cent you spend in the hotel goes straight back into it. Cutting our commission costs means we can pass on savings to our guests. It also means we can afford to pay and hire local staff, improving the local economy and giving our community a much-needed boost. It also allows us to reinvest in the décor and facilities of the suites, ensuring that every guest enjoys the very best during their stay.

Cancellation Policy

Another little known fact about booking through an OTA instead of booking direct; the reason their rates may appear lower is the strict cancellation policies. When you book a ‘cheap, non-refundable rate through an online travel agent, you have zero possibility to change or amend the booking in any way. Travel agents have strict cancellation policies, which cannot be amended or controlled by the hotel. That means if your travel plans change for any reason (including illness, bereavement, or flight cancellations), you are not entitled to change or cancel your booking. Booking directly with PREMIER SUITES Rotterdam means you can take advantage of our flexible cancellation policy. Bookings made on our website can be cancelled free of charge until 4pm on the day of arrival, with the exception of early booking rates which are clearly stated.
