The Ultimate Guide To Cheap Accommodation While Traveling

1. Get used to staying in hostels

Hostels go together with budget traveling like peanut butter and jelly.  You aren’t a real budget traveler if you’ve never stayed in a hostel before!  Designed with the backpacker in mind, hostels are a great way to save money on accommodation while traveling.
If you’ve never stayed in one before, you typically get a twin-sized bed in a room shared with up to 50 other travelers (although the usual size of a room is between 6-12 beds).  
Some hostels might offer queen-sized beds (in shared rooms) while others will give you more privacy with curtains or even capsule-style beds.  Most will also offer private rooms too (although they can be pricey).  It will vary by hostel, but the gist of it is that by sharing a room with other people, you are all saving on the total cost of your stay!
The best way to book your hostel is by using Hostelworld, but you should also be checking for hostels on Booking.com because sometimes, their prices will be cheaper there too.  Check out my Guide to Hostels for more information.

2. Use Booking.com to book your standard accommodation

If hostels aren’t your thing and you just want to save as much money as possible on standard accommodation options, then you’ll need to make sure you’re using the right booking site.  
Booking.com is the best site you can use to book your accommodation and you can find hotels, aparthotels, guesthouses, vacation homes, resorts, and more in every part of the world at the best prices.  
Sometimes you’ll find hotels or guesthouses that are cheaper than hostels so it always pays to check booking.com even if you don’t mind staying in hostels.  They also have a rewards program called Genius that gets you up to 15% off + extra bonuses at select properties meaning you can save even more!
Check out my Guide to Booking Your Accommodation for more information.

3. Look for accommodation on Airbnb & Vrbo

Airbnb & Vrbo properties are typically cheaper than hotels and other standard forms of accommodation.  Sometimes you can even get a whole property to yourself at a lower price than a hotel room would cost you!  
It pays to check for accommodation on Airbnb & Vrbo and should be a standard part of your process when looking for a place to stay in any destination.
If you’ve never stayed in an Airbnb or Vrbo, the experience will be slightly different to that of a hotel.  It won’t be like a hostel (although you can sometimes find shared rooms on Airbnb too), but it won’t be like a chain hotel either.  
You will be able to find full properties to yourself, but you can also save even more money by getting a private room in someone’s place.
