My experience has been rather the contrary. A couple times when bicycle touring I got to some town only to discover it was "X Festival Week" and the town tourist office could not find a single place to sleep. AirBnB still had places.
My family has had the experience of showing up at a hotel with an advance booking and being turned away because they were full (oops!).
- yardie 10y agoWith computerized booking in not sure if that happens a lot. Unless the agent didn't know what they were doing and entered the booking incorrectly a cancelled advanced booking should never happen. I've also found the larger hotels will keep a few rooms in reserve, just in case there are problems i.e. leaks.
