As per my personal experience I advised to all the person that if you want to travel then don not go for offline hotel selection book your hotel online and select the best you can aslo compare and the reviews for the best trip you should book the hotel.
you can book from home and as my suggesion that book from the good application like the make my trip, Hotwire.Com, Hotels.Com, Agoda.Com, Priceline.Com, Booking.Com, goibibo.com etc.
you can book from the application and get the discount or some refund. they also given the some promo codes and other thing and the give the refunds in the format of there point that you can use in the next stay hotel.
Thank you.
