Hotels Booking step-by-step walkthrough

Care must be taken when finally comfirming a basket, in case one or omore of the items in it have no longer availability. This may happen when we have added something to our basket but in the time it takes us to get to the payment, it is not available any more. Ferry tickets have a different mode of operation which is explained in the relevant section.

The following steps must be followed in order to make a succesful hotel booking.

1. Go to the hotels page:

2. Select the area where the system is to offer you hotels for:

The location search box is automated so that it offers possible location names when the first three (or more) letters of the location have been typed:

A hotel name may be typed in if you are looking for a specific establishment. Otherwise, leave it blank to get all search results.

3. Use the datepicker to specify a date span for which to search for available hotels. Start with the date that you want to arrive to the hotel (the check-in date):

Once a valid date has been selected for the check-in, the next datepicker is auto-completed with the date one day later (check-out date):

7. When some hotels out of the search results have your interest, you may proceed to checing more details on them by clicking on their name or the 'more...' link or even on the e-booking button. You will then be taken to the hotel's detail page where a lot more information can be found such as facilities, pictures and more:

You can use the menu on the left to quickly navigate to the page's sections (e.g. Policies, etc.).

8. Special care must be given to the link named after the policy governing each room type. Hover (place the cursor) with your mouse over it in order to be informed of any special rules for this type. They may be related to the way your credit card will be charged and/or the cancellation and refund policies:

9. Once you are satisfied with your findings, you may click on the red 'e-Booking' button in order to make your reservation. At this point you may be asked to login to the website.
