I find their range of options and deals really good. However, it's important to always check reviews before booking to make sure the hotel meets your expectations. Any reviews of https://www.pissedconsumer.com/company/renningers-promotions/customer-service.html? Has anyone stayed there and can share impressions?

These are great bargains. Else the price would be pretty standard.

i like to check reviews on Tripadvisor too! And also use https://www.hotelscombined.com/ to compare prices offered by different booking agents. So I can make sure I am making the most value for money deal. I have this practice for years and this price comparison engine never upsets me. XD

oh oh...and I like to go http://www.tripadvisor.com to look out for pp's opinions on the hotel first. Will take those advice with a pinch of salt - but better something known than total unknowns (esp travelling with 2 kids in tow).
Yes, this is the best one as I think.

In my case, I will usually check reviews to see if there are any instances of bed bugs. I’ve had a bad experience with bed bugs in a hostel in Penang, so I always want to make sure that the hotel is clear.

Most of the websites I visited, agoda.com, booking,com, tripadvisor.com offers great deals and you can also save time scouting for good hotels based on the reviews. I
I guess with online booking, its essential that you check the reviews and the pictures (but these can be deceiving), better to check the reviews

I use Booking.com and Agoda, mainly, and have used Expedia as well. For many years now. So far, I've encountered no problems, even with cancellations and refunds.

I too use these sites, including Airbnb and have had no issues with cancellations & refunds over the years.

Have been using these sites, through Shopback (thru app or website link) and have received cashback of between 6% - 12% (depending on promo), additional \"discount\" just by using Shopback! Have similarly booked SQ, Lufthansa & Qatar air tickets & travel insurance (FWD) thru Shopback & gotten \"additional\" discount:)

Sidetrack a bit, how does shopback work? Get an account with them?

It also gives us more time to scout. S’times I’ll follow up with checks to direct locations - s’times u get them cheaper, s’times u don’t but they upgrade u or provide extras such as b’fast/meals or not charge for extra beds, etc.


Our June trip to Taiwan going direct enable us to get a lot of free services such as owner loves to promote eco-trip to view their scenery & famous spots & we got 50% discounts for ferry trip. Our last trip in Nov to PJ, our direct booking came with club entitlement which includes b’fast, afternoon tea break and evening cocktail - they serve finger food but u’re free to any amt u wish to take (spaghetti, Turkish or Mediterranean food, pandan chicken, etc and they brew yr choice of coffee/tea). Clubhouse comes with penthouse view.

So do try check out direct. You never know.

i see, thanks

always been booking direct from hotel sites.

Is it always cheaper than booking from a certain website like trivago, etc?

Trivago simply polls a list of other websites and give you a list of their prices. So I guess you can always get the cheapest one by using Trivago, but that may or may not be cheaper than booking direct. I haven't done a comprehensive comparison, but booking direct is not always cheaper. On the other hand, sometimes they will have rooms and deals available which are not sold through the hotel booking websites. I mostly prefer to book through a familiar interface, and if I'm travelling to more than 1 place, and if I don't speak the local language, having all the bookings made through one website is neater.

just wondering, is hotel sites cheaper than booking direct with the hotels?
Sometimes, but not always. You can check on the hotel's website when you've selected a hotel.
