How to get best hotel rates in Malaysia, walk in or book in advance online.?
Q. I will be visiting Malaysia in April, im hoping to travel around the mainland and visit some of the East and west coast Islands. Just come back from tunisia where i paid dearly for not booking my hotels online. Just wanted to know what the best system is in Malaysia for getting the cheapest rates. Should i book in advance, or just walk in and negotiate, if i walk in is the marked price considerably higher than online price, which makes negotiating unworthwhile.
When you say travel agents, do u mean UK ones or ones in Malaysia, and if Malyasia can i book when i arrive.

How to get business rates at a hotel?
Q. I am booking a hotel online and the cheapest rate says "BUSINESS TRAVELERS ONLY". But how will they know? Do they ask for some proof? Should I stop worrying about trying to save $10?
A. The Business Rate they are quoting may not even be the best available: try a step by step method for booking your room, you could save money and not have to pretend you are a business traveler:
1. First research the rate on Orbitz (or Expedia, Travelocity, etc.) Then follow the process and you could save 60% on the standard room rate.

How to get the cheapest rates for 5 start hotels in Indonesia, (jakarta and Lombok)?
Q. Comming to Indonesia, would like to know how to get the cheapest rates for 4-5 start hotels. Eg, for Shangrila Jakarta there site quotes me around 900k, can i get this cheaper else where. I heard travel agents in Jakarta airport can offer really great price, if so how much cheaper. PS i will be in Jakarta and Lombok
A. I live in Jakarta and I know there are a few travel agent counter in Jakarta arrival terminal for international flight.
I booked hotel once in the counter for my family of my wife when they arrive in arrival international terminal. They do give discount and it is almost sure cheaper than if you book by yourself with the hotel.
The counter have all hotel list including daily service apartment in Jakarta, so you will have a lot of options.
But several important things you should remember:
1. the counter only open at office hour, you should check your arrival.
2. get the address and phone number of your hotel, and call them by yourself to make sure confirmation with your hotel (regarding the booking). Ensure you call the hotel, in front of the employee counter
3. The counter will give you voucher hotel, do not loose it, show it to reception desk.
4. there is terms and condition with the voucher, ensure you have the information from the counter (such as refund, extend,cancellation etc)
For Lombok, I believe you have to arrive first in Jakarta, after arrive in Jakarta you can book hotel by using travel agent.
Sheraton Lombok is a good hotel in Lombok
Last word, welcome to Indonesia....
