TAILORED BOOKINGS

Effortless Reservations, Elevated Experiences

Ever wondered how some travelers secure the best rooms or enjoy those thoughtful extras during their stay?

In many cases, it's about who makes the booking for them. If you know where you're headed, Good Trips can level up your bookings, putting you on the hotel's priority list for those perks.

Discover how we make every stay that much better at no cost and save you time in the process.

But, I CAN MAKE MY OWN BOOKINGS…

If you're wondering why you'd want someone else to book your hotel, after all, booking can seem straightforward, we'll let you in on a little industry secret: Hotels roll out the red carpet for guests recommended by trusted travel advisors because they're eager for us to continue sending them great clients. We bridge that gap for you, transforming a regular stay into an experience filled with unexpected delights.

Here’s why it makes sense:

  • More Time for You

    Just let us know your hotel of choice and your dates. We’ll take care of the details, ensuring you don't need to worry about the intricacies of booking—complimentary for bookings over €1000.

  • Good Trips Goodies

    Our preferred status with top-tier networks and properties—such as Virtuoso, Belmond Bellini Club, Relais & Châteaux, and many others—ensure your stay is a priority. Expect complimentary breakfast, room upgrades, spa vouchers, and those personal touches that make all the difference.

  • Your Preferences Make the Difference

    We communicate directly with management to share your likes, dislikes, and special requests, ensuring everything is just as you want it upon arrival.

  • Headspace

    Entrusting us with your reservations means more than just handling logistics; it's about freeing your mind from the clutter of pre-departure tasks. We provide timely reminders about your travel essentials—from passport renewals to packing lists—so you can focus on looking forward to your trip rather than managing its minutiae.

  • It's Complimentary

    Offered at no additional cost to you for bookings valued at €1000 or more, this service comes full circle. Hotels are delighted to host our clients, you enjoy a stay that’s a notch above, and we're compensated for our efforts through the hotel—a win-win all round.

“I wouldn't dare book without her…”

“I'm a super-picky traveler who somehow always leaves travel arrangements for the very last minute. Katy is never flustered by my (many) requests and my travel experience has seriously leveled up since using her Tailored Booking service. She somehow manages to get me into the most gorgeous rooms at the chicest hotels. I wouldn't dare book without her!”

Already booked your hotel?

Many of our clients discover the benefits of Good Trips after they've secured their reservations. In this case, we can offer a service known as a 'takeover booking.'

Simply email us your reservation confirmation, and we'll handle the rest. We'll contact the hotel on your behalf to ensure you receive all the perks and advantages of booking through Good Trips, even if your initial reservation wasn't made with us.

Please note, in certain situations, such as bookings made months before, hotels that are not within our partnered network, or trips coming up in just a few weeks, takeover bookings might not be feasible. Regardless, we're always happy to review your situation and explore the possibilities.
