Airbnb is one of the most popular ways to find accommodation for your travels, but finding a cheap place to stay on this platform isn’t as easy as it seems. Here are a couple of tiny, but important details to keep in mind when looking for a place to book.

Extra Fees

Even once you filter the search to fit your price range, Airbnb apartments may seem cheaper than they actually are. Always make sure to check out the total price for your dates, because service, cleaning and occupancy fees may apply.

Location

Unlike the majority of other booking sites, Airbnb doesn’t fully reveal the address of your booking right away. The map reveals the approximate location, so make sure you’re fine with staying in that area before booking the place.

Type of Accommodation

Airbnb offers everything from private and shared rooms to entire homes and apartments, but photos can be misleading. Make sure to filter your search or pay attention to the description of each posting, because it’s always specified what kind of accommodation they’re offering.
