Book a hotel online in advance. What do you mean by paying now?

Pay-as-you-go refers to paying the room rate at the hotel front desk when you check in after successfully booking a hotel online. Mainly different from prepaid, prepaid room rate is paid directly on the website.

1. Prepayment: Prepayment of room rate, and all room rates are prepaid to the hotel according to the number of days you need to stay and the room type. Pay now: pay the deposit when you check in at the front desk of the hotel, and settle all room rates and other expenses when you check out.

2. Online prepayment refers to payment through online banking, and prepaid orders can be kept for you all night (unpaid orders have a retention period, and you must check in at the hotel quotation office after expiration).

3, pay now, is paid to the hotel on the spot after arriving at the store. Generally, this room type can be cancelled at any time, as long as it is before the latest opening time in your order (even if it is late, it can be cancelled without deducting money, but it will affect your credit). This kind of risk to the guests is minimal. Moreover, for the hotel, once the last time you write has passed, the room will not be reserved.

4. Prepayment means paying directly on the page when booking. (There is the word prepaid after the price on the webpage). This kind of order is the most risky for guests, because it is usually irrevocable. If your itinerary changes, you won't get a refund. The advantage is that the store will guarantee to keep the room until the final check-out time, and you can check in at any time.

What's more, paying in advance is sometimes cheaper than paying now.
