I am on a roll today this is video number three I filmed in a row whoo
higuys my name is Amy this is my channel Travel Bug Bee I do travel vlogs tips and
tricks and hacks thank you for clicking into my video today I'm going to give
you guys some tips on how you can book a cheap hotel I am in no way a hotel
expert this is kind of a new thing for me booking my own hotels within the last
year and a half and it's been interesting and I have learned a few
bits about booking hotels so hopefully these tips will help you first thing you
need to do then before searching for anything whether it's a flight or hotel
or anything you'll be paying for go incognito so there is a little drop
bar on Google and gives you the option then to go incognito that prevents
cookies from getting onto your software let's say if you're searching for hotels
in Venice and without going incognito you build up cookies and with these
cookies then they know that you've been looking at Venice and they'll up the
price then because they know you're interested by going incognito stops the
cookies and then you might just get a cheaper deal tip number two is to plan
to stay on off-peak days so that's the likes of midweek Tuesday to Thursday
also aim to stay off peak season as well let's say you go to a family resort
and the kids are all in school great that will give you a cheaper deal
because they need people to come in and fill those spaces
depending on the country as well keep an eye out for national holidays so for
instance I went to Edinburgh a couple weeks ago and I stayed just before
Valentine's Day and left on Valentine's Day itself which was a cheaper deal than
staying from Valentine's Day to today after for her obvious reasons tip number
three then is location location location location so this is a huge role when
booking a hotel now obviously you want to have a convenient location that's
close to the main sites the closer you are to main sights the more expensive
it's gonna be it's a never-ending battle so basically try and stay somewhere in
the middle kind of have a look around and see what way Transport is working
out as well if there's public transport to the main site then you could say that
further away but just keep that in mind number four then is depending on what
kind of traveller you are some people are happy enough to stay in a hostel other
people wanted a little bit more space a little bit of their own personal room
which is fine you can still get cheap hotel that way anyway but for certain
things you want to cut back on the extras so unless you really want to
treat yourself do you need to have a hotel with a pool and a spa five-star
breakfast that kind of thing if you want to book a cheap hotels generally these
hotels won't have these facilities but it's a better price for you tip number
five then is always always always always book a hotel that offers free
cancellation because life is unexpected sometimes certain things might happen
you might have a family emergency or other kind of things might happen you
might need to cancel your hotel you don't want to lose that money
so always book a hotel that has free cancellation for just in case and tip
number six is pretty much the most obvious one is go to booking websites so
I tend to use booking com I think they're really great for doing hotels
and I have used other sites in the past as well kind of booking.com is probably
my favorite but also there's nothing wrong with booking with the hotel direct
as well it kind of you have to do a bit of research and do a little bit shopping
around to get the better price bonus tip as well always have Hotel where free
Wi-Fi because when you get to the hotel then paying for Wi-Fi
it's not great it's just it's just more money that you really didn't need to spend of
course some hotels the Wi-Fi isn't great but you know it's free so yeah free so
