1. Have a budget
Decide how much you are willing to spend per night. Compare all the accommodation types: dorms, private rooms and other different properties that are within your budget.
2. Choose the right room
- Dorms are usually the most budget friendly option, but private rooms offer the most privacy.
- Location matters: a cheaper stay does not mean the best deal or a great one. It could mean you are farther from the important links you may need, like transport and food.
- Reviews: These play a role in selecting accommodation. This helps you select a great accommodation based on other people’s first-hand experience with the accommodation.
3. Look at the facilities
Is there free Wi-Fi? Is breakfast included? Make sure these are included before booking so you can save the money you would otherwise spend on them and spend it elsewhere, like exploring the area.
4. Have a look at the cancellation policy
Life is not certain, and plans can change at any moment. Always check to see if your booking is refundable and flexible, and see if it works for you so you do not have to end up paying a cancellation fee if you cannot make it.
5. Compare the final price
Compare the final price to the nightly rate. This way you can see if there are sneaky fees added.
