]]> The price of your accommodation will depend on many factors – including the size of the group you’re traveling with. Our brief guide will help you pick the budget-friendly place to stay that works for your group, whether you’re traveling on your own or with a large group of people.

Solo Travel

Hostels are the cheapest possible option for solo travelers. You can book a bunk bed in a shared dormitory to save some cash and allocate it towards other travel experiences.

Traveling Couple

If you’re exploring the world with one other person, whether it’s your significant other or a friend, you’ll have several options to choose from. Booking a private room at a hostel, guest house, or apartment is usually cheaper than renting the whole place.

Bigger Groups

If you’re embarking on a trip with a large group of people, you’ll have a much easier time finding an apartment to rent. You’ll save a lot of money by sharing expenses between you and get more space and freedom than you would at a hotel.

Whole Family

Renting a whole apartment is also an option when you’re traveling with your entire family, but family rooms and suites of major hotel chains are also worth looking into.

]]> Hostels are the first thing that comes to mind when someone mentions cheap travel accommodation, but what if they simply aren’t your thing? If you don’t enjoy this type of accommodation, but still want to travel on a budget, here are five options to consider instead.

Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing became synonymous with free accommodation over the years, and it allows you to get in touch with locals who are willing to invite you into their homes.

Friendly Visit

Speaking of free accommodation you can score with the locals, how about going someplace where you can stay with your friends and family who just happen to live there?

Camping

Camping is also an option during warmer seasons, especially when it comes to road trips because you can pack a tent inside your trunk and hit the road.

Affordable Destinations

The destination you pick for your trip will determine how affordable it’s going to be. If you’re running low on money, go for budget-friendly destinations where it’s easier to find a cheap place to stay.

Airbnb

Airbnb has apartments for all types of budget in store, and it’s one of the best places to look for a cheap place to stay. It’s highly unlikely you’ll find private accommodation cheaper than a hostel, but at least it won’t be as expensive as a hotel stay.

]]> People who travel on a budget usually tend to book the cheapest accommodation they can come across. Unfortunately, some affordable hostels and Airbnbs are simply too cheap to be decent, so here are a few things you should check to make sure that a cheap place is worth booking.

Good Reviews

Reading reviews takes time and energy, but it will pay off in the long run. Feedback from your fellow travelers can help you decide where to stay, and it goes beyond checking out the rating. If you want to focus on specific aspects, such as cleanliness, comfort, or Wi-Fi situation, reading reviews can help you make the right pick.

Right Location

A lot of people book accommodation on the outskirts to save money, but this hack doesn’t always work. Keep in mind you’ll have to pay extra for public transportation and lose a lot of time if the commute is too long. That’s why it’s always a better idea to chip in a few extra bucks for a well-located accommodation.

Free Food?

Hostels that offer free breakfast are pretty easy to find, but they’re rarely the cheapest possible option. They still won’t cost you more than the majority of regular hostels, so decide for yourself if you can benefit from free breakfast and if you’re saving or losing money by booking the accommodation that offers it.

A Trusted Reviewer

The best way to go about is to find a friend you trust who can recommend a place. They will be honest and tell you the downsides, and they will also be able to tell you the bottom line: is this place suitable for you.

Prioritize You Criteria

Most hotels and hostels have various ratings on different booking sites. Decide what’s most important for you and look for the ratings for those criteria first. You can also browse the written customer reviews for things that are important for you.

Research the Area

If this hotel or hostel is the only cheap place in an area that generally costs quite a lot, make sure to look up in detail why it is cheap. You will probably find the answers in the reviews and then you can decide if this suits you.

Airbnb

Finding cheap accommodation in Toronto is a mission impossible, and you’ll usually have to pay over 30 bucks for something decent – even for a hostel dorm. Airbnb is actually your best bet in this case since you’ll have a much easier time finding an affordable option near downtown.

Couchsurfing

If your budget is extremely limited, giving Couchsurfing a try and finding someone who’s ready to host you for free is always an option. Just make sure to read all of the reviews and have a good communication with your host beforehand.

Surrounding Areas

You can still enjoy your visit to the Big Apple without staying in the very heart of the city. Instead of opting for an expensive room on the Upper West Side, consider saving some money by going for Brooklyn or Queens instead.

If you have more than just a day or two to explore a new city, renting a hostel on the outskirts won’t hurt you one bit, but you should probably avoid it if your time is extremely limited. Spend a couple of extra bucks on accommodation with a central location that’s close to the city’s top spots.

More Affordable?

If you’re renting a room in the middle of nowhere to save money, consider extra expenses that come with this choice. Put it all down on paper, and if you’ll end up spending a lot of extra money on metro and Uber, maybe it’s just not worth it.

Local Experience

It’s easier to experience a new place in its full glory when you’re staying in its very heart. Rentals on the outskirts often don’t feel like the part of the city you’ve wanted to visit, but if you’re in the mood for an unfiltered experience that showcases full reality, you’ll get it here.

]]> We love to travel as much as the next person but understand that it can quickly become a burden on your bank account. Luckily, we’ve picked up some tips over the years for how to save money where it counts.

Here are our top tips.

Workaway

Workaway is a volunteer site. Travelers agree to work for a set amount of hours a week in exchange for accommodation and often food too. You can stay in all kinds of locations including lively hostels, ranches or even yoga retreats.

Couchsurf

Couchsurf is a great app for meeting locals and cutting accommodation costs. Locals will offer up their sofa to you so you can experience their city and in exchange, most of them just want to learn about your culture and have some interesting company.

Don’t Book In Advance

In Southeast Asia and South America, prices on Booking.com drop rapidly the longer you put off booking. Obviously, we don’t recommend doing this during peak times but if you’re traveling during low season, hold out for as long as you feel comfortable or even show up in person to book.

Offer Something In Return

Many hostels are open to the idea of exchanges. If you want a free room, have a think about what you can offer them. Can you fix up their social media accounts or provide live music in the evenings? Perhaps you are bar-trained or are a washing-up wizard. Have a think if there is something genuinely useful you can offer them and reach out.

Air BnB

Air BnB is becoming increasingly popular among travellers and for good reason. If you are staying in a group, you can rent out an entire villa or apartment for cheap. If a couple of you don’t mind sleeping on the sofa, you can save a lot more.

]]> We love to travel as much as the next person but understand that it can quickly become a burden on your bank account. Luckily, we’ve picked up some tips over the years for how to save money where it counts.

Here are our top tips.

Workaway

Workaway is a volunteer site. Travelers agree to work for a set amount of hours a week in exchange for accommodation and often food too. You can stay in all kinds of locations including lively hostels, ranches or even yoga retreats.

Couchsurf

Couchsurf is a great app for meeting locals and cutting accommodation costs. Locals will offer up their sofa to you so you can experience their city and in exchange, most of them just want to learn about your culture and have some interesting company.

Don’t Book In Advance

In Southeast Asia and South America, prices on Booking.com drop rapidly the longer you put off booking. Obviously, we don’t recommend doing this during peak times but if you’re traveling during low season, hold out for as long as you feel comfortable or even show up in person to book.

Offer Something In Return

Many hostels are open to the idea of exchanges. If you want a free room, have a think about what you can offer them. Can you fix up their social media accounts or provide live music in the evenings? Perhaps you are bar-trained or are a washing-up wizard. Have a think if there is something genuinely useful you can offer them and reach out.

Air BnB

Air BnB is becoming increasingly popular among travellers and for good reason. If you are staying in a group, you can rent out an entire villa or apartment for cheap. If a couple of you don’t mind sleeping on the sofa, you can save a lot more.
