Is there a big difference between online reservation and walk-in reservation for hotels?

wuffy asked:


Any differences between the price listed under those online reservation websites such as:

http://www.asiarooms.com
http://hotels.klikgue.com
http://www.expedia.com/
http://www.kayak.com/
http://www.hostels.com/

etc…

and those price offer directly from hotel?

Is that a good advice to make reservation through online website before enter a country?

Any advice? or suggestion to get a cheaper price and yet same accommodation condition?

Thank you…
What happen if that particular hotel doesn’t have website? Or maybe i can’t get it through google search?

    I strongly recommend you make a reservation in advance at the OFFICIAL hotel website. The websites you listed are not official, they are third-party online travel agents. I work for a hotel front desk and I have personally seen many reservations booked incorrectly by these travel agents, and they do not have any better rates. If you have any further questions please let me know. Good Luck!
