Accommodations in Perth – Nifty Booking Tips

Whether accommodations in Perth are booked through an online travel provider, a travel agent or directly with apartment staff, the decision to visit Perth is a good one. An accommodation booked at a week before the scheduled vacation is advisable, just so you still have time to makes some changes within the week. 

Before you book an accommodation make sure you understand how booking works. Upon booking a room or serviced apartments in Perth, double check the guest name on the reservation. Guest name should be the list of people to stay in the apartment. Most short stay apartments are particular with the number of people on the list, unless you made prior arrangements in adding another person. You need to make sure that the arrival date stated on the reservation is the actual date you (the guest) will be checking into the apartment. 

If there are any changes in your arrival like flight delays or rescheduled, be sure to call your reserved apartment to let them know in advance. There may be a 24 hour cancellation policy which charges may be equivalent to a night stay in the apartment, but these things vary when making accommodations in Perth.

Just like your arrival tickets, also double check your departure schedule. Be sure that it reflects the day you check out of the apartment. It is totally fine to leave the apartment earlier than you ought to, but be sure to notify apartment staff the day ahead your departure schedule.

If you made a reservation with children make sure that the apartment you’re staying is child safe. The number of guest listed on reservation accurately reflects the total number of people (adults/children) who will be staying at the apartment. Check on the number of beds listed on the accommodation and if it meet the requirements. 

More importantly, verify that the rate on the reservation made is the same price that was quoted during booking. Rates vary depending on the season, duration of stay, day of the week and special discounts and packages.Sometimes apartment rates can be negotiable especially if you frequently make reservations on the same apartment each time you and your family visit Perth, and special discount may be given to regulars. Rack rates however the official retail rate of the room is and is usually the most expensive one.
