How The System Works.

Over the years reservations have been taken by telephone, fax and e-mail...but there was not a good system to guaranteed the reservation. A hostel owner would hold the room for five persons and only three would arrive, or worse not arrive at all. Now many of the hostels will take a reservation, and since it was not paid for give the room to someone that was standing in front of them with the money. Because of the bad experiences, I can not say that I blame them. To help both the buyer and the seller we offer a safe and secure service where you can make a reservation in advance, pay for it with a credit card and be confident that you will have a room when you arrive. Our charge for this service is only $1.50 for each reservation, plus the actual cost to us by PayPal for using your credit card. This cost is 3.9% plus $0.30. If your reservation is for three nights, and the cost of the room is $5.00, your cost would be $15.00 plus $0.59, + $0.30, +$1.50. A total of $17.39. No phone or fax charges. If you have a better way...let me know.

Comments Please....
If you have stayed at any of the hotels or hostels on the list below, please take the time to give us your comments...Good or bad. It could make someone else's visit a little better.
