Hello everyone! Today, in the previous video, "Reserving cheap hotel accommodations," the price was 703,340 won! Remember that price!

Then, I'll try again in this state. Wow... It's 512,788 won! 🫢

It's 190,000 won cheaper! The difference is so big! This took less than 5 minutes!

Everyone! You can do this too! Today I'll show you how I actually make a reservation!

There were people who said they had no idea what I was talking about, so I quickly turned on the camera.

When I thought about it, I felt the same way when I first made the reservation. I thought it would be natural for independent travel beginners to have difficulty understanding, so

today's video starts with membership registration. We've explained the price comparison part in more detail, and first of all, we corrected and re-edited the problematic audio!

So, those who watched the video first can skip this.  For those who said the audio was poorly edited and

couldn't hear it properly, or for independent travel beginners who didn't understand the price comparison part,

this will be helpful! First, let's talk about Agoda. Agoda, the accommodation reservation platform,

is a site with a lot of quirks, but it's a site where you can get a good deal

if you're willing to put in the effort to find a low price and pay attention to the details.

This process can take time, but even though it's a hassle, if you want to book at a low price and use the savings to travel and buy delicious food, please

watch this video until the end and follow along! The introduction was long, so please watch the video again first

and I will re-explain the price comparison part! Let's start. When you book accommodation, what criteria do you use and what site do you use?

My criteria for choosing accommodations! It's a really simple, clean hotel that focuses on cost-effectiveness, and

reservations are made through sites that offer the lowest prices. As you can see from my past videos, most of the accommodations are like that!

It’s unfair if you book the same hotel at a higher price! I've been traveling independently for over 20 years!

After booking accommodations while traveling independently for over 20 years, I've naturally developed the know-how to get low prices!

This is something I'm really confident in! So today I'm going to reveal all the ways I

choose accommodation and how I make reservations to get low prices. I'll show you how I actually make reservations!

With the know-how accumulated from such a long experience, I am confident that I can get a low price!

You can trust and watch the video!!! Now, let’s begin! First, I will look at how to find accommodation.

I will first explain how to find accommodation using an example of accommodation in a country where golf and relaxation are possible,

rather than in Japan, a neighboring country. When looking for accommodation before going on a trip, I first search Google Maps. Listen to this

!!!! For this trip, I plan to stay in Hua Hin for 3 nights from August 23rd.

It is the peak season for Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Since this is my first time traveling to Hua Hin,

* I want to be in the city center (I have to go to the night market in the evening)

* It is cost-effective (not a luxury hotel stay; I'm going to play golf and go sightseeing...)

* I wish there was a swimming pool so I could swim a little during the hot days... With the intention of staying in such a place,

I'll look for a place to stay on Google Maps. To explain, I search for Hua Hin and look for Hua Hin.

…This is Hua Hin! If you zoom in, you will see that the city is white like this, and places like parks are green like this.

And this yellow part is an area with a lot of people. I guess a lot of people will flock to areas like downtown or shopping malls, right?

Then, enlarge the map of those areas and look for hotels. Zoom in on Google Maps to the location where you want to stay and

click on the hotel at the top. Then, numerous hotels will appear. First, write down the date you want to stay and

here, customer rating 4.0. Click above and then click the hotel rating. I'll make it 3 stars or higher

and zoom in to find accommodations I like. If you look at accommodations on Google, there are ratings next to the hotel names on the map.

The number of reviews is written in parentheses next to the rating. When I look at accommodations, I recommend at least 4.0. You can only look at the ratings above and over 200 reviews.

You can find it by looking at the lists on the left or by looking at the location on the map

. Read through the ratings and reviews, and when you see an accommodation you like, you can also search for blog reviews and accommodation reservation site reviews on Google. Reviews...

I refer to everything like this. That's how I found a hotel. Once you've decided on a hotel you like, it's time to compare prices.

First, if you're going on a trip to Japan, search for hotel prices on Jalan.net or Rakuten Travel

and compare prices. However, just because they are Japanese hotels does not mean that all of these sites are cheap,

so you must search and look at other sites as well. To sign up for membership and make accommodation reservations for Jalan.net and Rakuten Travel,

first refer to the video “Rakuten Gora” “Rental Car Reservation” and sign up here and check

Use this site. We recommend using the Japanese site to make reservations, not the Korean site that appears in searches.

The prices on the Korean site are sometimes higher, so use this site to book your accommodations or hotel!

When traveling, we need to book affordable accommodations, and

today we're using Agoda, our most frequent booking site! I'm showing you how to make a reservation

here. So far, it's the same as the video, and now I'll explain the price comparison again!

First, let's sign up for an Agoda account! First, search for Agoda and go to the site.

Here, you must first sign up.  It requests your name in English, so enter your name in English!

Enter your email address and password and sign up. As you can see, I've filled everything out here.

Click 'Agree' to the privacy policy and sign up. [It's really simple!] After signing up for Agoda,

you need to do some more checks. If you're logged in, I'll log out first.

Then, open a new window and copy and paste the Naver Hotel price comparison link from the description.

The Naver price comparison site will appear. Let's compare here. I'll search for the Standard Hua Hin, as before.

I'll check in from August 23rd to the 26th and search.

The site will show a price comparison.  Note that the price is before tax.

There are many sites, but I'll look at Agoda, so I'll go to the Agoda site.

It says the lowest price here is on Booking.com, but when you actually go there, the price isn't cheap.

Anyway, if there's a lower price, it's cheaper than Agoda. If you click Agoda like this, you'll be connected to the Agoda site. You're not

logged in right now. When you enter the Agoda site like this, you have to select a room.

The room options are above here and here. You can take a look, or if you scroll down, you'll see a variety of rooms with different options and conditions.

I'll try to reserve the same standard double bed room as last time. I don't reserve non-refundable rooms, so I'll pass

on those. I'm going to get a room that includes breakfast. Then, you'll be taken to a page where you can make payment.

If you scroll down here, you'll see the price. Check the price. If you like the price, you can pay and make a reservation right on this page,

but since you are currently not logged in, if you just make a reservation here, your reservation will be made as a non-member and

you won't be able to see the reservation information when you log in. So, you must log in and make a reservation. It's better.

The Agoda site is a very large platform and many users use it, so there are a lot of potential problems.

When using the Agoda site, you should always leave a record. To do so, we recommend that you log in and make a reservation.

Now, in this situation, go to the bottom. I looked, and it was in KRW.

If I checked the price, it was 766,035 KRW. Wow, the price has gone up more today than when I first made the video!

Check the price like this. Click 'Login' right above here and enter the email and password you signed up with.

There may be a price change here, but there is no change right now. We want to see the price change, so if you are currently logged in, log out again.

Press the back button, press "Log in" again on the first screen, enter the email and password you used to sign up, and try logging in again.

I'll log in and select the same room again. Free cancellation and breakfast for two are included, right?

And when I clicked "Make a Reservation" and went back in, I checked the price... Well, after applying the cashback, the price was 647,802 won.

There's a price difference between the logged-out and logged-in states, so

be sure to check this. If you look, you can see the price before and after logging in. It's different.

The price here became cheaper after logging in, but in fact, nobody knows about this with Agoda.

It's different every time, so you have to log in to know. Of the three routes, I went to Naver's price comparison and compared the prices.

Now, the Google Maps route is the same. You can check the price using the direct Agoda route and check the price the same way.

I did my best to explain it, but do you understand now? Now, this part... It's a new part.

Let's watch the video first and then watch it again! This site can be accessed in several ways.

First, let's leave Google Maps as is and first go to Naver, which is the most popular search engine.

The Standard Hua Hin Double Bed Room, August 23-26, 3 nights (Friday, Saturday, Sunday). 2 adults, 1 room.

And I'm going to go to Agoda here and try to make a reservation. When I make a reservation for accommodation, I try to make a reservation for a non-refundable room. ❌

Only when I have no choice, I almost always reserve rooms with free cancellation.

"The Standard Hua Hin Double Bed Room, Free Cancellation, 3 Nights with Breakfast Included." Click the button—the room appears!

Now! This is the price when searched on Naver: 703,340 won! Remember this price!

Then, I'll go to the homepage and try logging in again.

If you look at the same conditions... Look, can you see the price changing to 662,580 won?! ✨

Now, secondly, here's the link to access Google Maps. Let's go back to Google Maps and look at the same conditions as before...

I search for the lowest price link here... In fact, more than 70% of the lowest prices I find are from Agoda,

so I naturally end up using Agoda often! This amount is meaningless, so let's go back under the same conditions.

🫣 (Exciting) I have no idea how the prices will turn out. Let's take a look together.

When I enter it like this, the price is 642,178 won. Then, I'm an Agoda member here through Google access. I'll try logging in.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The price for 3 nights is 542,907 won! Look! It has changed again.

This time, you can see a price difference of 160,433 won! The price from Naver, the price from the Google link,
