We describe step by step how to independently find and book a hotel in Turkey. Choosing a service, finding the best hotel at an affordable price, booking procedure, tips and tricks, booking all-inclusive hotels.
We went to Turkey only on a tour, and now you decided to go on your own? We will briefly and clearly tell you how to choose a hotel, how to book it and what you need to pay attention to.
On which website to book a hotel in Turkey?
There are many popular sites (booking systems) where you can book hotels: Booking, Ostrovok, Ozon, etc. They are convenient, well-known and reliable. However, the same rooms in the same hotels on these services are offered at different prices. Sometimes the difference is huge! Therefore, in order to book a hotel in Turkey or anywhere else at the lowest price, you need to compare offers in all popular booking systems. When going on a trip, the first thing we do is compare the cost of hotels on the Roomguru.ru search engine - it is convenient, simple and effective! In one minute, the search engine will compare prices and find the best deal.
The main reason why we advise you to search and book a hotel in Turkey in advance in search engines - on the spot the price can be almost twice as high as on the Internet. If you arrived at a hotel without a reservation and are faced with a tangible difference in price, just search for Wi-Fi and book this hotel - that's okay.
How to book a hotel in Turkey yourself?
Everything is easy and simple:
Step 1. We go to the hotel search engine Roomguru.ru and type in the desired city and dates.
Step 2. We filter the results by star rating, distance (for example, from the beach), tourist rating or price - depending on what you need (you can apply several filters at once). On the left, there are advanced filters, where you can select the type of accommodation (villa / hotel / apartment, etc.), amenities and services (terrace, pool, bath, etc.).
Step 3. Do you want to book a good and inexpensive hotel in Turkey? Roomguru.ru will show you the best options in terms of "price-quality" ratio, if you choose "Profitable offer" in the menu on the left. You can skip this point if you don't care about the price.
Step 4. Choose the hotel you want, then the room and proceed to booking. Here you can see that in different booking systems for the same rooms in the same hotel, the price may differ significantly!
Step 5. Then everything is simple - we enter the passport data and, if required, pay for the reservation (it depends on the specific hotel).
Booking Tips
What should I look for when booking a hotel in Turkey on my own?
- Try to choose a hotel with a rating above 7 on Roomguru.ru. By booking a hotel with a rating of 8-9, you can be almost sure that you will be staying in a very good hotel.
- Carefully read reviews about hotels in Turkey, they contain very valuable information. For example, recently a noisy construction site could have begun nearby, which would interfere with rest, but this fact has not yet affected the rating.
- Check if the airport transfer is included in the price.
- Please note hotel dining: sometimes all-inclusive costs only slightly more than other types of food.
- Estimate the distance to the beach or city center.
- Try to play with dates if possible - sometimes the price may be lower on adjacent dates.
- Want to save money? Do not book during high season or holidays.
- It is better to book a hotel in Turkey in advance (ideally 1-3 months before the trip), especially if you are going on vacation in the summer.
Once again about reviews and ratings. The rating may be high, for example, due to the pleasant staff, but at the same time the hotel may have some disadvantages: for example, faulty plumbing or not very good wi-fi. We faced this when, before going to Turkey, we were choosing the best hotel in Istanbul - it was the reviews that helped us find an almost ideal hotel at a low price.
There are very few ratings for new hotels, but they can boast of fresh furniture and modern appliances; read where the new hotels in Turkey are.
How can I book an all inclusive hotel in Turkey on my own?
Do you think you can live in hotels on the all inclusive system only on a package tour? In fact, no, and it is not difficult to book your own all-inclusive hotel in Turkey. The principle is the same as above, only select in the column to the left "resort hotel"... The rest of the steps are the same.
If you are still attracted by the option with a voucher, then you can also book it yourself on special tour search engines Onlinetours.ru and Level.Travel - they operate on the same principle as hotel search engines, that is, they find the cheapest vouchers among all popular tour operators. Not sure how to use them? Then our simple instruction on how to buy a cheap last minute tour online will help you - everything is very clear there.
