So, let's start with some of the most commons ones:
NUMBER 10: Booking.com
Booking is one of the most popular accommodation booking apps.
You can use it to search for hotels, motels, apartments and more,
and search according to your preferences.
Many deals offer a free cancelation option which comes in handy when you’re still exploring
where to stay but want to guarantee an accommodation that you like.
Some other booking platforms offer that option too
but Booking makes the cancellation process fast and easy.
NUMBER 9: Airbnb
Who doesn’t know Airbnb, an app that lets you book a room
or an apartment directly with the owner?
Airbnb is a slick app with easy to use interface and is a great app to use if you are looking
for a pristine experience compared to a hotel.
One of the Airbnb features are guest reviews which can help you decide
if the place is right for you.
Airbnb hosts also rate you as a guest and that’s what makes Airbnb different,
since both hosts and guests do their best.
NUMBER 8: TripAdvisor
TripAdvisor is a very useful app when you want to see
how other travelers rated a specific hotel.
You’ll find a collection of travelers’ reviews including real photos from hotel
rooms, opinions, pros and cons about a specific place, etc.
You can also book your stay directly in TripAdvisor.
NUMBER 7: HotelTonight
Are you travelling tonight and need a good deal?
Then definitely download HotelTonight, an increasingly popular app that searches for
last-minute deals when hotels give discounts on their empty rooms.
And if you’re planning to travel in the future,
HotelTonight lets you search for deals in advance, too.
NUMBER 6: Trivago
While Trivago might seem just like any other booking app at the first sight, its main added
value is that it compares prices of other booking sites.
Of course, you can book a room directly with them as well.
NUMBER 5: HostelWorld
If you are planning to stay in a hostel,
then search for the hostel of your choice on HostelWorld
that also includes all the important information
on each hostel such as how good’s the location, how friendly the staff is and the cleanliness.
NUMBER 4: Luxury Hotels Apps
Are you looking for luxury accommodation?
Then you might consider downloading the apps of luxury hotel brands such as Four Seasons
or an app belonging to a large international hotel chain like Marriot, Hilton, etc.
that include luxury hotels and resorts.
Plus, it’s always good to collect those reward points if you stay loyal to one brand.
While other apps like Booking.com or Airbnb offer luxury accommodation, you’ll also
most likely find great deals directly with the hotel chains.
We created a list of hotel chain apps offering luxury accommodation.

NUMBER 3: World Packers
If you don’t mind helping out a few hours a day in exchange for your accommodation,
download World Packers.
The platform offers different programs such as work exchange, social impact and eco program.
And since World Packers is not the only platform offering this concept,
check also other similar websites.
The links are in the description.
NUMBER 2: HomeExchange
Are you travelling somewhere and would like
to swap homes with someone for the duration of your trip?
Then use HomeExchange.
Their unique search tool makes it possible to find those looking to share their home
in exchange for a stay in yours.
NUMBER 1: Couchsurfing
Couchsurfing is an app connecting home owners and travelers who are looking for free accommodation.
The hosts usually offer free accommodation for experience
to meet new people from around the world.
A great to way meet new friends, experience the local culture
and, of course, get free accommodation.
