Good morning.
My name is
Mario.
Welcome to the
Central Hotel. I
hope you enjoy
your stay.
Everyone who will travel, both for tourist or business trip, should first do the planning by
making a reservation. In English, reservations are defined by Reservation derived from the
word: to reserve that provides or prepares the place. While reservation has the meaning of
booking or facility place. So in general, reservation is booking a place of facilities which
include accommodation, meal , seat on show, airplane, train, bus, entertainment, and so forth.
Reservation in the world of aviation and tourism is also called a booking , but sometimes
people can not distinguish between the two words. In the world of tourism, reservation is a
very important way and in control for the sustainability of the activities of a travel agency. In
the world of hospitality, reservation is a room reservation made some time before the hotel
obtained from various sources by using various reservations to ensure that guests will get a
hotel room on check in . There is also a duty for the reservation staff and the benefits for
travel agents who have hotel booking system
With the professional and courteous reservation service we expect the prospective guests
to feel that they will definitely get a professional and courteous service when they are at the
hotel. In order for this to be achieved then the author of view is necessary to compile this
module which will be preceded by self preparation to become a reservation staff, reservation
reservation procedure, and reservation changes.
1. Guest name,
2. Address, Phone number
3. For the period when
4. Contact Person
5. Special request,
6. Guaranteed reservation,
Information obtained on the reservation will determine the smoothness of the service when
guests arrive at the hotel. Such capability should be trained continuously in order for the
officer to be competent.
Reservation sources
The source of the reservation is the person or parties who are the source of the arrival of
the reservation. Most of these sources already have a network of cooperation set forth in
the cooperation contract.
1. Individual: Every person who make a reservation is a source of reservation, either for
individual or group reservation
2. Airline: airlines often make room reservations for: - passengers in case of delay of
flight departure so that passengers have to stay overnight. In this case the airline will
cover all accommodation costs for its passengers.- The crew who stopped in a city
consisting of captains, co-pilots, flight attendants, technicians, etc. Usually for crew
ship orders are already scheduled so that the hotel can prepare before.
3. Travel agent: travel agency is a very potential source of room bookings for hotels. In
its activities the travel agent sells tour packages that include the accumulation.
Reservations are made by travel agents if:
Guests purchase tour packages which include accommodation, in which case travel
agents will benefit from special room rates.
Guests requested that travel agents take rooms only without buying tour packages. In this
case if the travel agent does not have a rate contract with the hotel then the travel agency
will get a commission for the service. Large commissions depending on the deal, there
are 10% to 15%. But if the travel agent already has a contract rate then the travel agency
will benefit as much as the difference between the price sold to the guest and the price
contained in the contract rate.
Reservation Media
Reservation media are: tools, methods, or ways used to process reservations. The reservation
media include:
Types of Reservation
Types of Reservation:
The reservation staff not only picked up the phone and recorded room bookings but also
provided information, interacted, provided recommendations and upselling even suggestions
for choosing the best (suggestion)
Example:
Good Morning

Ask about the time of use of the room, and the number of rooms to be booked: In order to
receive room reservation reservation staff should ask when and how many rooms will be
booked. The date of booking is very important and is a major part of the reservation
reservation. Whenever a guest calls for a reservation, the staff should take note of when the
reservation is made. In this case the reservation staff must have a record of the status of each
room or check into the room control shit. Thus the staff knows what type of room is still
available. The booking date mentioned by the guest is sometimes confusing, if the guest
mentions will stay from the 1st to the 7th, it is unclear whether the guest will check out on 7
or 8, therefore it should be confirmed to his guest whether he will check out on 7 or 8 .Then
about writing the date is often confuse ng such as writing 03/05/2007 this possibility means
the month of March the 5th or also can be interpreted the month of May 3rd, for writing better
date directly in write the name of the concerned month as of May 3, 2007. Thus we will avoid
miss understanding about the date.
After the reservation date, the next is the number of rooms booked. If the number of rooms
booked exceeds the available rooms then we suggest to guests to book a room for 3 or 4
people by installing an extra bed in the room of course with additional charge.
Confirm the room type booked: Confirmation of the room type booked is repeating the order
or repeat to avoid mistakes. Anything recorded related to the reservation is repeated or asked
again to make sure everything is exactly what the customer wants.
Records the method of payment used. Payment can be by cash, by credit card, billed
to the company or by voucher. This needs to be asked to avoid losses, because if guests will
pay with unusual payment instruments such as travel checks, biliet giro, checks, we can reject
it because tends to be inconvenient.
Take notes on the reservation form. What guests have to order must be written on the
reservation form. The more complete the data gets clearer and more real what has been
ordered. Example of reservation form / reservation form:
Reservation slip:
Reservation slip is a small form that records the reservation data, then will be stored in
reservation rack. Reservation slips are distinguished by different colors to show guest
types such as:
White color for buyer of ordinary guest category
English For Tourism 13
Red color for VIP guest category
Green color for guest category come / booking through travel agents
Blue color for category of group entourage.
Spell the name of the guest: If the reservation is done verbally the reservation staff should re-
name the buyer according to the international spelling board. Hi this is done to avoid
mistaking the name of the guest, because for most guests the name is very important,
sometimes the guest will feel offended if one write his name. On how to write a guest name
should also receive serious attention. Guest name writing should use clear print letters and can
be read by anyone. The procedures for writing the guest name are: t itle, first name , then
family name.
An exception to note if the final name is preceded by words such as: D, d, des, di, du, L, La,
Le, M, Mac, Mc, o, St, Van, Vander, Von, Vender, etc. , the writing can not be separated from
surname and written as a surname.
Repeating the order: the repetition of an order in this case is intended to be a thorough
repetition aimed at avoiding data recording errors as well as special requests from guests. In
this confirmation we expect the 'yes' answer from the guest, but sometimes the guest replied
"No, I mean ...... ..". If answered no means that it must be fixed in accordance with the
intended by the guest.
