Tips on booking accommodation online

The right accommodation can really make your holiday pleasant and memorable for the right reasons. You could book your accommodation in advance or look for suitable accommodation as you arrive at your destination. I would recommend you book in advance to make sure you make the right decision after a long flight.

Research – Click on Tripadvisor and check reviews on hotels you’re planning on staying at. This will give you a good idea of what is on offer. Try not to book more than a couple of days, since you may find better/ more affordable accommodation once you land.

Hotels- Go through some of the online hotel booking websites, like bookings.com, Agoda and Hotels.com. Comparing booking sites will ensure that you get the best deal in the market.

Hostels- If you don’t have much to spend, you could look into staying at a hostel. Since the accommodation involves many common living areas, this will be a great way to meet people and learn about sights to see. For bookings on hostels visit hostel world and hostel bookings.

Apartments- If you are travelling in a group, booking an apartment would be cheaper and a lot more comfortable. Since apartments have their own kitchens you could cook a few meals, like breakfast and save some money. It also helps that most apartments would have access to a pool and an in house gym. For booking an apartment visit sites like airbnb and homeaway. When booking apartments, ask owners for a discount, especially for booking over 2 night stays.
