Save Money While Traveling! Full Disclosure/Disclaimer: The items below are affiliate links - that means if you use my link you will save money, and so will I. I also provide tips and opinions so you can make your own decisions on whether or not to use my links!Easy to use, and I never had any problems with reservations when I showed up. I usually use TripAdvisor to get reviews on the properties (I trust their reviews more). One downside – Booking doesn’t let you CHANGE reservations. You can only cancel them. This means, if you need the same number of nights, but different dates than you booked, and your reservation has a cancel fee, you will have to pay the fee even though you still are going to the property.
Often a great way to get nice digs for less money than a hotel, and a kitchen of kitchenette! Remember, no housekeeping, it’s a home, not a hotel, so they clean between guests. If you’re traveling on your own, one thing is, you’ll be on your own, as opposed to in a hostel or hotel with other people. Some hosts are great helping with tours and sightseeing ideas!
