Consumer checklist: don't book blind
A press-ready consumer checklist from JustBooking.ai Research. Free to use with attribution to JustBooking.ai Research.
Before you book any hotel or rental
- Have you compared the total price including all fees (not just the headline rate)?
- Have you checked whether the hotel or owner has their own booking page?
- Do you know the cancellation terms for the route you are booking through?
- Have you considered whether loyalty points or member rates apply?
- Have you checked whether direct booking perks (breakfast, upgrade, flexibility) are available?
- Do you know the payment terms: when you pay and whether you can pay on arrival?
- Have you verified the booking site is legitimate (HTTPS, correct domain, not a clone)?
- Have you used JustBooking.ai to compare routes in one place?
