Frequently Asked Questions
Do you charge a booking fee?
No, never. You pay the hotel's own rate, and Marriott pays me a commission for handling the booking. My advice, my time, and the added perks cost you nothing extra.
Will I still earn Marriott Bonvoy points with Marriott STARS bookings?
Yes. You earn Bonvoy points and elite-night credit exactly as if you'd booked on Marriott.com. Your Bonvoy number goes right on the reservation.
Do Marriott STARS benefits stack with my elite status?
They do. The program perks (breakfast, an upgrade, the property credit and so on) come on top of whatever your Bonvoy status already earns you, so Platinum and Titanium members do especially well.
Are the rates the same as booking direct?
Yes. I book the same flexible rate you'd find on Marriott.com, and I can often add promotions you won't see booking direct, like a complimentary extra night or resort credit.
Is there a minimum stay requirement?
No. There's no minimum - even a single night qualifies for the full benefits.
What if I need to change my booking?
No problem - unlimited changes up to the hotel's own policy. Your reservation is held by the hotel directly, and you pay them at checkout.
Who you're booking with
I'm Michael Ng - a luxury-hotel lover (an obsession, at this point) and Fora-affiliated advisor who's travelled 30+ countries and practically lives in these hotels. I know firsthand what makes a hotel stay great, and I'm always hunting down the next one worth booking.
This all started because I genuinely enjoy helping people find the right place to stay. If you have a trip coming up, I'd love to help.
People stop booking hotels themselves
“Michael was an incredibly patient professional who answered my very many questions when it came to deciding where to stay. I'm thankful we chose to use Michael's services and would absolutely be in contact with him again for our next trip!”
“Michael is the absolute best when it comes to booking my hotel stays. I always go through him for my Marriott reservations, and he consistently makes the entire process seamless. He's reliable, efficient, and always makes sure everything is handled perfectly. I wouldn't book with anyone else.”
“Always quick to respond and proactive with useful insights. Transparent, flexible and focused on finding great value rather than just pushing a booking. Secured great perks and upgrades that made the trip even better. Highly recommend.”
