What is a free order?

It means that in the reserved room, Ctrip directly confirms to the guests without going through the hotel. This can confirm the order for the guests more quickly, thus improving the success rate of booking.

Reservation and free sales are guaranteed by the hotel, so you can confirm the room directly to the guests without hotel confirmation. Booking rooms (allocation) requires specifying the number of rooms in advance. This reserved room is generally reserved for a certain sales channel, so as long as the number of rooms reserved in this channel does not exceed the number of rooms reserved, it can be confirmed directly. Freesale does not need to specify the number of rooms. As long as the hotel doesn't notify the house, it can be directly sold for confirmation at any time.

Extended data:

All reserved rooms have a latest reservation time, that is, before this time, as long as there are reserved rooms on the same day, as long as the guest's order has no special requirements, the guest's order will be processed according to the reserved room order and confirmed to the guest immediately. Generally speaking, this time point is 18 o'clock on the same day, but with the increasing requirements of guests, this time point has gradually become unsuitable for the current environment, and many hotels have begun to postpone this time point to 20 o'clock on the same day.

Generally speaking, the statistical methods of booking rooms can be divided into in-store statistics (that is, according to the number of days of stay in the store) or in-store statistics (that is, according to the newly set number of days of stay), and hotels can choose these two statistical methods according to the actual situation.

Among all the precautions, it is particularly important to confirm the reserved room order directly to the guests. Once the order is generated, it shall not be rejected. If the order is rejected, there will be compensation, which will be recovered from the hotel.
