Accommodation Request Form: practice guide and common mistakes

The form may contain background course information as well as requirements for a room. Do not substitute the course duration for the requested stay. Compare preferences, requirements and restrictions carefully: they may concern different parts of the booking. Check that an address answer includes only the missing part.
