Choosing a stay properly

Why we send the whole search

Your dates, guests and rooms travel with you to the supplier, so the page that opens is a result list for your trip rather than a form for a city. Availability and price are decided there, live, because a cached room rate is worth nothing the moment somebody else books the room.

The nightly rate is not the price

City tax, resort fees and cleaning are added at different points depending on the country and the property. Compare the total at checkout rather than the headline rate, and check whether breakfast is included before deciding one place undercuts another.

Free cancellation is usually worth the difference

A refundable rate normally costs a little more than a prepaid one. On a trip whose dates might still move, that gap buys the ability to rebook when a flight changes, which is regularly cheaper than losing a whole night.

Location beats the star rating

A four star hotel forty minutes out will cost you two taxi fares a day and the willingness to go back to it. Check where a property actually sits against the things you plan to do before comparing anything else.

Not sure the city is the right base?

Every destination guide is free, written by hand, and lays out what a few days there actually look like. Useful before you commit to dates.
