Separate the booking from what you see on arrival
From your confirmed booking, note the room type or requests you checked. After arrival, separately record what you actually see with a photo.
Do not treat a photo or note as proof of booking terms. Check your confirmation and ask the property directly about anything unclear or different.
Record the day you arrive
Choose details you checked in the booking confirmation.
Photograph a scene you actually see in the room after arrival.
Write confirmed details separately from questions you still need to ask.
Check the photo for personal information and decide who may see it.
An example room photo note
Here is a fictional editorial example: “Confirmed in booking: one bed. What I saw: a small table by the window. Question to ask: where is breakfast served?”
Check that booking numbers, passports, card details and room numbers are not visible in your photos or notes. Ask anyone pictured for consent before sharing.
When your memory and booking differ
If a detail is uncertain, check your booking confirmation or the property’s information instead of guessing. Take issues or requests directly to the property, and record the answer separately.
Keep a travel moment in Pogaem
You can keep an arrival-day photo and your own note in your personal Pogaem calendar. Confirm actual bookings and questions with the booking provider or property.
When sharing with travel companions, check invitations, permissions to write or comment, and internet access. Consider consent and personal information before uploading.
