Shocking secrets revealed by hotel staff

ArabiaWeather - There are a number of secrets revealed by hotel staff, which no one will tell you, before you book your next trip, according to the British newspaper Daily Mail. Get to know them:

Contact the hotel for discounted rates
Instead of booking through travel agencies or websites, experts say calling directly to the hotel is the best way to get discounted rates. Hotels pay 25% commission to internet sites, and this makes you able to negotiate and request a 15% discount when contacting the hotel directly.

Don't sit on the couches
Most hotels rarely wash sofas or duvets, and if there is a stain, it is cleaned and treated in place most of the time, because hotels do not have time to wash all the covers and sofas.

Tipping is essential
The receptionist will certainly not ask you for a tip, but if you give him some money, you will get many benefits, during your stay at the hotel.

Don't treat the receptionist badly
Many guests believe that dealing poorly with the reception staff forces them to secure the best features for the guests, but in reality the opposite is what happens, as some employees try to harass the customer who behaves inappropriately.

Do not pay cancellation fees
One of the former employees advises not to cancel the reservation ahead of time, as the hotel charges a cancellation fee, and the best way to avoid this is to call after the cancellation date, and tell the employee that you want to postpone the reservation to a later, unspecified time.

Overbooking of the hotel
It is common knowledge that there are about 10% of the guests who booked in the hotel, who are late for the reservation date, so most hotels try to reserve a card of up to 110%, and in the event that you happen to book in a hotel, and you arrive to find that all the room is full, The hotel will arrange a free reservation for you at another hotel.

cleaning equipment
Due to the large number of rooms and cleaning work, the maids resort to using the same equipment to clean almost everything, so it is advised, for example, to avoid using the drinking glasses placed in the hotel.

Do call for reservations at certain times

Wi-Fi fee removed upon departure
There are some additions to the bill, which can be negotiated, including Wi-Fi fees, so it is advised to request the removal of these fees upon leaving the hotel.

Sundays are best for reservations
When booking a room for one night, Sunday is the best day to make a reservation and get a good rate, because most of the guests leave on this day, while the business travelers haven't arrived yet.
