Can I book a hotel on the site if there is not enough money on the card?
As a rule, I book a hotel six months before the trip. All this time I keep money on the card in the full amount of the order value. I would like to keep only 10-20% of the order amount, but I doubt the success of the booking. Write if someone had similar doubts.

If you book through Booking, then those hotels that block money usually write about it in the hotel description. It all depends on the hotel.

you can.
I am booking not a reality with a card with a zero balance. this is for your own safety, tk. you leave, your (valid) card details will remain and some hotels may not be fair and may charge more money after you leave.
in general, in the conditions of booking it is always prescribed whether the prepayment is withdrawn. Even if you can't pay, pay later. you are not in the Schengen!

Booked a hotel in Istanbul last year 3 months in advance. When booking, the amount on the card was not reserved at all and I did not hold the full amount. But there was a note on the site that the hotel may not take a reserve amount, at its discretion.

You can withdraw after check-out in case of damage to the hotel or for the use of a paid mini-bar if you did not pay at check-out. If you pay cash on arrival with an online booking, keep your receipts.

Anetka-gan, well, if you are a legally illiterate person, then they can charge you for the next room :))) and then also charge monthly :))) So good luck to you!
The author, I also booked with a "0" card, but the hotel did not block the money on the card and everything was fine, but another time the hotel refused to book (another hotel) because the card had "0". Depends on the hotel. Therefore, try with 10-20% - it might work.

krikim let me clarify how your fictitious legal awareness will save you from a hotelier who has all the details of your card and wants to fuck you?

I read the answers and since I myself am a hotelier and I have a page on Booking.com, I want to clarify. The card must have the entire amount, if the tariff is non-refundable, prepayment. Since the hotel can block or withdraw the entire amount. Moreover, he can do this on the day of booking, and on the last day, and at any time during this period. If the rate is simply NON-REFUNDABLE or the rate is FREE CANCELLATION, then the hotel can try to block the amount equal to UAH 1, or $ 1, or 1 euro on your card. Especially when he wants to find a reason to cancel your booking as not beneficial to him. It happens. For example, the Vatican recently found out that the re-election of the POPE was in March and began to cancel all possible bookings in order to inflate prices. That is, it checks whether the card is working at all. This is business. So!!! To book on booking.com, use valid cards with a balance of about 1 euro and there will be no problems. And 10-20% has nothing to do with it. They don't have the right. Or NOTHING, or 1 euro, or the whole amount. In a rare case, the hotel contacts you to make an advance payment, for example, 10%, BUT !!!! on a separate invoice or transfer, as they cannot make changes to the BOOKING booking.
But even there

where the rate is NON-REFUNDABLE, normal 4-5 star hotels do not charge money in advance. This is the lot of hostels and 2-3 stars, which have low prices and 100% occupancy is important to them.

Yes, almost everywhere. But not all are removed, but they are removed on the day when penalties would come into force, i.e. 14 days or 3 days. As stated when booking. Remove earlier, and suddenly you refuse in time - you will have to deal with the return, explain with Booking. Once again, the smaller and poorer the hotel, the more likely it will do everything possible to get the money sooner.

I booked many times with a valid card - nothing extra was removed. I made a mistake once (on my own) and entered the card details with the balance of money on it in the amount of 6 rubles 75 kopecks))), everything was booked, I paid the full amount on the spot at the hotel and my 6 rubles 75 kopecks remained on my "empty" card)) ))
