ACCOMMODATION
One of the best websites for finding hotels. Make sure to check the prices on mobile too as they usually have a ‘secret mobile price’. Booking seems to always have the cheapest fares, and most customisation options available when searching for a property. There are plenty of reviews and information to help you make your decision. If you get “Genius” status, you can also get 5-20% off some hotel rates too.
Another crowd-pleaser, AirBnB is great for those who don’t need the shiny, luxurious feel of a hotel. I’d say it’s particularly good for when you are travelling in a larger group and want an entire place to yourself. It’s also great if you are looking quirky place (think treehouse, mansion, etc) to stay and you don’t mind sharing the place with people, you might be able to get some local tips too.
Hostelworld is one of the most well-known websites for finding an affordable place to stay. And as the name suggests, it’s particularly useful if you are on a tight budget (usually you can find the cheapest option in the city), looking to meet people during your travel and don’t mind sharing a dorm-style room with a lot of people. The website provides great options for backpackers and students travellers!
Another great option to find the cheapest hotel rates around, Expedia is an alternative to Booking to browse through.
An alternative website for the other websites we have listed for finding cheap hotels, hostels, B&B and apartments.
