I can't help with your specific question, but make sure you have received your visa before you commit to any expenditure on accommodation.

Hey! , The visa process requires to mention place of accomodation ,so I need to show a booking to get visa , that's why I am seeking for a place now

See section 9 ("Documents you should not use as evidence") at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/visitor-visa-guide-to-supporting-documents/guide-to-supporting-documents-visiting-the-uk which includes "hotel bookings".

You need to show evidence that you can support yourself financially in the UK (and can afford to travel from home to the UK and back again). There's no requirement to have booked accommodation in advance -- you might have booked accommodation which you can cancel and get a refund for; so having accommodation booked proves nothing.

And you really want to avoid any expense that you can't get refunded, in case your visa application isn't approved.
