Accommodation is one of the biggest travel expenses, and you might be tempted to book the cheapest place you come across to cut costs. This is usually not such a great idea, and it might actually end up losing you money in the long run.

Bad Location

There are exceptions to this rule, but cheap accommodation is often located farther away from popular tourist attractions. All the money you’ve saved by booking it will eventually be spent on additional transportation costs.

Hidden Costs

Cheap accommodation can also come with a long list of hidden costs you haven’t been counting on, so make sure to carefully read descriptions and reviews to make sure you won’t have to pay extra for anything.

No Cancellation

Unless you’re 100% sure nothing could possibly disrupt your trip, it’s a good idea to book accommodation with a flexible cancelation policy. Unfortunately, cheaper accommodation options often have a very strict policy or don’t offer refunds at all.

Overall Experience

Your overall travel experience might suffer if you book the cheapest accommodation on the market. From uncomfortable beds and dirty rooms to poor customer service and limited facilities, there are many issues that could potentially lead to an unpleasant experience.

Hotels, hostels, and Airbnbs that offer flexible dates and free cancelation are pretty rare, but once you find one—you should hold onto it for your dear life. Even without the threat of Covid restrictions, booking accommodation with flexible dates or free cancelation comes with a long list of benefits, starting with these three.

Unpredictable Situations

If the last few years throughout us anything, it’s that every travel plan should be taken with a grain of salt. We never know what tomorrow will bring, whether it’s on a personal or global scale, so it’s best to always leave some room for doubt when making travel plans and avoid losing all your money if you have to cancel them.

Money Talk

Speaking of money, accommodation with flexible dates and free cancelation often costs extra, but it’s worth it in the long run. If your accommodation offers these options, it won’t cost you anything to cancel if your plans change, but you might lose all your money without that extra security.

Safety Net

Booking a place with free cancelation can be a great safety net. If you’re still not sure if you’re hitting the road, this allows you to lock the lowest price, and cancel your booking if your plans change or if you decide to book a better accommodation instead.

If you love music and travel equally, visiting music festivals in foreign countries must be one of your favorite pastimes. Unfortunately, festivals come with a long list of expenses and finding cheap accommodation is one of the biggest problems. If you’re trying to keep your festival visit budget-friendly, here are some of the cheapest places to stay.

Try Camping

Most leading festivals come with a camping ground, so there’s really no need to book a fancy hostel. The general admission camping rate is usually included in the ticket price or it’s not much more expensive, so it certainly pays if you don’t mind sleeping in a tent for a few days.

Stay at Hostels

If camping isn’t your thing, booking a bed in a hostel is always an option. Make sure to opt for a hostel with bunk beds that come with curtains since you’ll probably be partying all night and sleeping during the day.

Contact the Locals

Music festivals are much more fun when you have someone to join you, but what if you don’t know anyone in the city you’re visiting? You can always use Couchsurfing and Facebook groups to get in touch with the locals, and they may even help you score a cheap (or free!) place to stay.

The holiday season brings a long list of expenses along, and that’s why it’s important to save as much as possible on your winter vacation. It all starts with tracking down good accommodation without breaking a bank, and these tips will help you find the most affordable choice out there.

Visit Family and Friends

There’s nothing quite like spending a winter vacation with your loved ones, especially if you can do it free of charge. If you have friends or family members who own a nice cabin or live near a popular winter resort or a city with a Christmas market, consider paying them a visit this holiday season.

Don’t Travel Alone

Traveling alone can be fun and freeing, but it’s not the best option for a winter vacation. In addition to being more festive, spending your holiday trip with friends and family is a more affordable option because it allows you to split all the expenses.

Skip Winter Resorts

Many people can’t imagine a winter vacation without staying at a mountain resort, but they’re one of the most expensive options. Even if you want to visit a ski resort on a daily basis, you’ll have a better chance of finding cheap accommodation in its local area.

Working from home basically means that you can work from anywhere, and many people are using workations to shake up their routine. If you’re thinking of embarking on one, finding accommodation is the first step that you’ll have to take, and these useful tips will help you make the right choice.

Internet Connection

When working remotely, a good internet connection should be your no. 1 priority. You can work from local cafés or use an international SIM card, but expenses will pile up if you do this all the time, and that’s why you should always carefully read reviews and make sure that your accommodation has a good internet connection.

No Distractions

Working remotely requires a lot of concentration, and you’ll have trouble with this if you’re staying at a hostel. It’s much better to book an apartment or a room that offers some privacy so you wouldn’t be distracted. Having an office desk and comfy chair in your room always comes in handy.

Longer Stay

Are you going to embark on a workation that only lasts a few days or stay in one place for a prolonged period of time? In case of shorter trips, Booking and Airbnb will do just fine, but you should look for a cheaper apartment that you can pay monthly if you’re staying for longer.
