Even though many guest room reservations are now carried out via automated methods on the Internet, you may need to write an email, a letter, or fax to make a reservation and this goes for group bookings as well. Besides, not all guest rooms, especially traditional ones, are listed on online platforms such as Booking or Tripadvisor, as the fees they charge are quite high.
If you phone the guest room to get information, note the name and first name of the person who is taking your reservation, and also note them on the reservation letter.
Furthermore, it is essential to ask the guest room to send you a written confirmation in return, which will confirm receipt of your request and give the details of your reservation. This is the way you can engage the responsibility of the guest room in case there is a problem.
You can find below a template for a reservation :
