Hotel Reservation Dialogues

People tend to make the most out of their days off. One of the uses that some people do in their spare time is to visit hotels and resorts.

People usually check reviews on sites like Tripadvisor or yelp to make a choice.

Once they have made a choice, they call the hotel to make a reservation and they are asked questions to register their information in their booking system.

In addition to that, you can make other questions to the receptionist.

In this post, you will find questions that are usually asked when people are making a reservation and two hotel reservation dialogues.
