On a holiday journey with my family, I realized the need of preparing myself before planning a journey. There are some factors that have to be taken care while thinking about a trip. Firstly I got a problem in reserving the hotel for my stay. So before going on a trip with or without family make sure to reserve hotel according to your requirement. Points that one should have in mind while hotel booking in Pondicherry are as follows:

•    Note down your requirements such as type of rooms big or small, business suite, luxury hotel or family hotels; facilities and amenities like Wi-Fi connectivity if going for an official trip; refreshing activities, attractions places, adventure activities, etc., if departing for a family trip, etc.,
•    Select the place to stay that best suit your needs such as hotel, resort or beach hotel, villa, service apartments or cottage.
•    After choosing the type of stay, check the number of hotels available by visiting search engine websites. There are many choices in hotels in Pondicherry.
•    Web sites help to find the best accommodation according to our needs as one can see what facilities are available for us and can also check the room availability. Even it helps to get the best place at cheap rates.
•    Check out the offers provided in the respective sites to obtain the best deal as competition pays the way for discounts.
•    You must also look into the reviews given by various visitors. These reviews are also present in the website.
•    Check for the location for example if you are going for a holiday then check out the tourist attractions that are closer to your stay which in turn can reduce your cost of the visit.  
•    Make sure to note the check in and checkout time of the hotel so that u can plan your trip accurately.
•    After choosing the location, you can book it online or by way of directly calling the hotel.
•    But before clicking on the book icon in the site make sure to know about the cancelation policy, payment mode, and confirmation procedure.
•    Get the clear direction of reaching the place with the smallest and cheapest route from the concerned department.
•    Get all the necessary documents with you for identity proof and the letter of confirmation.
A trip with full preparation will become a successful and memorable journey of your life and will not embarrass at any during the trip.  
Enjoy your vacation!
