With the convenience of online booking, scammers have developed sophisticated fake hotel websites that mimic legitimate ones. Travelers may find themselves arriving at their destination only to discover that their "reservation" does not exist. These scams often involve enticingly low prices to lure in budget-conscious tourists. To avoid this trap, it's crucial to book through well-known booking platforms and double-check the hotel's contact information. Reading reviews from multiple sources can also provide insights into the legitimacy of the hotel. Always confirm reservations directly with the hotel to ensure your booking is secure.
