Should I book a hotel on its official website (such as Home Inn, 7 Days) or on Ctrip and Tongcheng? What’s the difference? Which one is more affordable, safer and more convenient?

Booking on the Ctrip and Tongcheng websites is cheaper than booking on the official website or at the counter. Because they have cooperation with the hotel, the combined quota is large, so it is cheaper than booking individually. But if you are a member, you should book directly at the hotel, so the discount is lower than on websites like Ctrip. The difference between general hotel reservations at the front desk and the official website is the number of member points. If you are not a member, just book directly on a website like Ctrip. If you are a member, it is recommended to order on the website, which not only has a lower price, but also gives you more points. For example, when I stayed at Home Inn, I got double the points when I booked on the website, and doubled the points when I booked at the front desk. The price is the same. Seven Angels had no points the day before yesterday. Please order on the website to see which membership card you have. The gold card also has double the points. Hope my answer helps you.
