CHAPTER I
BACKGROUND
Hotel bookings can be done by two methods, namely come directly to the destination or
via the online system. If you traveled to Bogor and the opportunity to come to the hotel itself,
then there is no harm in ensuring the availability of rooms and rates, as well as the condition of
the actual rooms.
However, sometimes we can not do a direct booking for unobstructed distance residential
and tourist destinations far. So we must entrust booking through online. The reservation system
is more practical, you can even book to date is still a long vacation.
The online system is also divided into two types, namely through related websites owned
or through a website page that provides messaging facilities of the hotel rooms are different.
Although online booking is increasingly common traveler, you should still make sure that your
transaction is safe. So when going to make a claim if there is a mismatch, it is difficult even you
will be subject to deduction of an amount of money that has been transferred.
Here are tips book hotel rooms safe:
1. Determine the dates, location, and budget
Select the dates according to the holiday schedule or leave you. Preparation of the date ahead of
time will minimize the failure to depart. The hotel's location also should not be too far from your
favorite tourist destination, because the area of Bogor very jammed during the holiday season
arrives.
Once you know the location that will be addressed, set budget room rental that suits your
financial condition. In addition to accommodation, you will need transportation costs, admission
sights, buy food, and souvenirs. So, allocate sufficient budget.
2. Find a trusted website
Now in this, there are many websites reserve a hotel room on the internet. To maintain the
security of transactions, access the trusted sites and has been used by many people. Ask on the
best site to a friend. Search also ease to file a complaint.
3. Read the applicable provisions
Read carefully any existing provisions, ranging from how to order, payment, get a hotel voucher,
up to a refund if you cancel the booking.
Some sites provide payment via credit card, so you need to set it up along with the required data.

4. Compare
Compare the facilities of the other hotels. Choose a room with the amenities you need. Some
sites provide discount if booking is made within a certain period prior to the date of check-in. So
be diligent to observe the site before you reserve a hotel room on vacation.
5. See testimonials outstanding
On the website also provided testimonials column that can be used by customers, to deliver
satisfaction and dissatisfaction. Avoid sites that are inundated with complaints from customers.
6. Use a valid account
Booking online requires electronic mail address so before you register. Check the email account
you want to use, whether they can be used or No.. Voucher will be delivered via email. So as to
ensure that the voucher sent successfully, you must have a valid account.
Charging the reservation sheet must also be considered. Especially when entering the
identification number, so that you do not encounter problems at check-in. Finally, pay the
appropriate amount requested via debit or credit card.
*Hotel is Want to Stay Hotel is a room rental for those who want to stay, a hotel makan.Biasanya
much in need by the people who were on the way, the hotel will provide services for lodging,
food, and minuman.Berikut Travel this article will discuss about how to how to Order Now Want
to Stay Rooms Hotel.
Actually booking a room in the hotel is not difficult, the provisions of the hotel is actually not
much different when you come to the rental place other services, such as rental place
transport.for more details, we go directly to some rooms How to Order Now Want to Stay Hotel:
1.Prepare
-> Prepare to pay for the cost of accommodation stay.
-> Prepare your identity and your original (ID card, driver's license, or student card).
2.Steps Room Booking
When you get to the hotel you can just look for a reception, and there you can ask for the cost of
lodging, and what facilities are on offer at the hotel tersebut.Jika you feel fit, you can directly
pay the cost of renting there. After completion of the payment recipient of the guest rooms will
give you a key that had been your message.

Your confirmation will be led by the bishop. It may take place during the main Sunday
service at your own church or at a special service. It may also take place at the cathedral or in
another church in your diocese.
There may be a rehearsal before the confirmation service so that you understand everything that
happens in the service. The priest will make sure you know where to sit and when you need to
move. Some parts of the service will be for the whole congregation to join in; some will be for
just you and the other confirmation candidates to say.
Most of the confirmation service will normally take place at the front of the church, but for the
renewal of baptism promises, candidates may be asked by the bishop to gather around the font.
(The font is a large basin on a pedestal, containing the water for baptism.)
The bishop will speak to every candidate by name saying:
(name), God has called you by name and made you his own.
He then lays his hand of the head of each saying:
Confirm, O Lord, your servant with your Holy Spirit.
The Church of England has two authorized confirmation services. One is taken from the 1662
Book of Common Prayer and is in 17th century English.
Making decisions and promises
When you were baptized as a child, your parents and godparents were asked to declare publicly
on your behalf that they believed in God and that they would bring you up to follow Jesus. They
were asked to answer, on your behalf, that you had decided to turn away from everything which
is evil or sinful and instead to turn towards Christ. At confirmation, you will renew these
decisions and promises.
The declarations made by you will be made in front of the church congregation; the local
Christian community will promise to support you and pray for you.
The sign of the cross
the bishop will make the sign of the cross on your forehead with oil. This is a sign of the
outpouring of God's Holy Spirit. It is like an invisible badge to show that Christians are united
with Christ and must not be ashamed to stand up for their faith in him.

The role of sponsors

At Baptism, Godparents stood alongside your parents to make the same promises on behalf of
the child being baptized. At confirmation you may be asked if you would like a sponsor to stand
with you as a symbol of their journeying with you in faith. Usually this is someone who has
previously been confirmed. It may be one of the people who has prepared you for confirmation
or it may be a youth worker, a good friend, a relative, or a Godparent.
Taking communion
It is normal for Confirmation to be followed straight away by Holy Communion, although in
cases where confirmation has not taken place in a candidate's parish church they may instead
take Communion for the first time in that church on the following Sunday.

there are some different expressions used by the secretary when he/she writes a reservation
letter. in talking about dates, taxes, etc. for example, secretary used the special word inclusive.
see the following example:
i would like to book a room for the 1st to the 5th of august inclusive.
when a secretary talks and writes about dates use the word inclusive. the phrase "the 1st to the
5th of august" means that you want to stay on the night of the 1st and the 5th. so, you will be
charged for five days. therefore, it is necessary to be careful
