Set a budget – This is the first factor that a traveler should consider. Make a list of what you like to have in a hotel. Most Hotel booking website have a virtual function where you can check their facilities.

Research the hotel’s website for further safety information – Conduct a further research about the safety of the place where the hotel is located. Check if the hotel is located in a floody area or earthquake prone area. You might also consider a hotel that is safe from terrorist. Read previous news and articles about  terrorist attack near the vicinity. You should also check in google map if the hotel is near the police station, places near police station are most likely quiet and peaceful place.

Choose a hotel that is near to your itinerary – Before you book a hotel, make a draft of the places you want to visit on your trip. After you make your draft, then look for an online map. This will help you to get a picture of hotels that are near your destinations.

Check out reviews – Once you have your list of your chosen hotels, check out for reviews online. You can see reviews on popular site like Yelp.com or Superpages.com. Don’t just believe in the reviews inside the hotel’s website, sometimes webmasters are manipulating their website review to attract more customers.
