How can I book the most cost-effective hotel when traveling abroad?

How can I book a cost-effective hotel during my trip? Booking a hotel is the most important part of a trip, and there are many skills to save money. Here are some simple points to master.

1. group purchase by travel agencies

if there are a large number of people, we can contact some travel agencies to get higher preferential prices than the app or the site.

when traveling with parents, family or friends is greater than the need to reserve more than 5 rooms. I will choose to book from a travel agency. Usually, in this case, the travel agency can get more discounts and discounts than online.

2. Booking in advance

Booking in advance can definitely enjoy higher discounts than buying on the spot, especially in major festivals or tourist seasons. Generally speaking, booking earlier is definitely more cost-effective.

And different apps sometimes offer different discounts. For example, I planned to go to Hong Kong half a month ago, and when I made an appointment in advance, I also browsed the discounts in the app, and found that the activities they held in May had a maximum discount of 4.8%, so I bought a room with the original price of 6+R for only 24R R.

3. online price comparison

in different travel apps, you can search the room price within about one month. And the price of each app is not the same. We can compare prices in various apps, but we should also avoid ordering all the time in the same app, so as not to be marked by big data and lead to price increases.

my personal experience is that if I search for the same room type in an app for more than three times on the same day, if I search for the same room type again the next day, its price will rise immediately, and before ordering, we should also see clearly whether the room type can be returned before checking in.

4. Check and evaluate

It is also very important for customers to evaluate hotels. Some hotels have old facilities because of their age, but they have high star ratings. There will be a situation where the price does not match the environment. At this time, we can look at the customer's evaluation in different travel apps and then decide to buy.

5. Location selection

Different locations also determine the level of hotel prices, such as hotels in scenic spots and hotels near hotels, and the price difference may reach 1%. If you are not a traveler with a very tight time plan, hotels within 2KM of your destination are generally recommended, which can save time and not be too expensive.

if the local traffic is developed, such as subway coverage, I also like to choose hotels along the subway, which is generally within 1 stops, so it is very convenient to travel. When I was visiting Hong Kong Disneyland, I stayed in the hotel on the Tunma Line, which only cost 34r/ night. If I stayed in a hotel in Disney directly, it would cost about 1,6 r a night. The price difference here even exceeds 1r r. So we can find a hotel with high cost performance by reasonably avoiding the scenic spots or places near the scenic spots. Of course, this also requires us to do a good job of online strategy in advance.

6. Official activities

In the off-season, many hotel officials will launch some special offers. If we have a specific destination, we can get discounts by paying attention to the official information of the hotel.

in addition to the above methods, I usually avoid some peak travel seasons, such as May Day, National Day, winter and summer vacations, etc. During these periods, hotels will become very expensive, and there is no cost performance at all. Moreover, because of the high turnover rate, even the sanitary cleaning will not be in place.
