Imagine this: you’ve just landed in a new city, excited for your trip. You step up to the hotel desk or call ahead to confirm your booking—but suddenly, you need to negotiate a corporate rate, dispute an unexpected fee, or explain that you’re traveling with a pet. Situations like these can be stressful, especially in another language.
That’s exactly why TalkMe created the “Booking a Room” series—to give you the confidence to handle any hotel-related conversation like a pro. And the best part? You can practice these scenarios in multiple languages, not just English.
Why the “Booking a Room” Series Stands Out
-
Real-Life Situations That Matter
No fluff, no abstract drills—just the conversations you’ll actually have while booking a stay. From basic inquiries about availability to complex issues like hidden fees or lost reservations, you’ll get to practice it all.
Scenarios include:
-
Initial inquiries: Checking availability, asking about room types and pricing.
-
Special requests: Adding extras, booking with pets, ensuring accessibility.
-
Problem-solving: Handling errors in dates, card declines, or missing bookings.
-
Negotiations: Corporate discounts, loyalty points, best-rate guarantees.
-
Pre-arrival & confirmation: Final checks before travel, securing upgrades, arranging airport transfers.
-
A Task-Based Approach That Works
Each lesson follows a simple but powerful structure:
-
Initiate – Start the conversation (“I’d like to book a room for…”).
-
Specify – Provide essential details (dates, guest info, preferences).
-
Confirm/Resolve – Finalize or troubleshoot (confirm rates, fix mistakes, adjust bookings).
This clear flow makes it easy to stay on track—even in complicated interactions.
-
Dual-Role Practice
You don’t just play the guest. Sometimes, you step into the role of the hotel staff. This unique approach builds flexibility, empathy, and better problem-solving. You’ll see the conversation from both sides—just like in real life.
-
From Simple to Advanced
The series starts with straightforward situations like booking a room and gradually moves to higher-stakes challenges like disputing fees or canceling non-refundable bookings. This progression ensures you’re never overwhelmed but always improving.
