hi guys this is Katie and Samuel I talk
to you about how to find cheap
last-minute hotels now I love booking a
last-minute holiday I don't know about
you but there's just something really
exciting about booking a little trip
away for the weekend so today I thought
I would talk to you about if you've
decided to book a trip away for the
weekend what should you do to make sure
that you're not paying too much money
but also getting a great deal so firstly
you need to make sure you know where
you're going I know that sounds obvious
but I'm not just talking about
destinations you want to find out you're
going to the right hotel often people
forget about this step because there's a
last-minute trip this is not a set that
you want to forget about so you need to
choose where you're going looking at the
neighborhoods in that chosen City or
that chosen town and decides actually
where are the best neighborhoods to stay
because remember if you're only going
for two to three days you will want to
see as much as you can or for some
people like we live in Thailand we often
like to go to places and just chill out
so sometimes it's just nice to find a
place that's got a quiet beach nearby
that has a few restaurants whatever it
is you're looking for make sure that you
find a neighborhood that will offer that
to you to do this I would suggest blogs
blogs are the best way to find
up-to-date correct information
alternatively you can also look at
TripAdvisor you can look at travel
forums and see the types of
conversations that people are having
about different neighborhoods in your
chosen place next we're gonna want to
compare those hotel prices so generally
speaking we use booking comm for Europe
and America we use Agoda for Asia so we
generally find that those are the
cheapest like websites that we can find
for those particular regions we find the
hotel that we're looking for on there
and we compare them across different
websites to find the cheapest deal for
us a little extra tip as well is that if
you haven't a Gowda account you could
often get really good deals if you want
remember if you use it often you'll
often find that there's like a
membership price on there as well
so check that out as well because we
have saved quite a bit of money by being
logged into a go-to when we've looked at
hotels another thing to check is Expedia
Expedia are great for last-minute hotels
they will often drop their prices near
the Thai
of your check-in especially if there's
availability still so make sure you
check out Expedia as well because those
prices come me a lot cheaper sometimes
another thing you're gonna want to do is
check out the hotel website so
especially if it's a chain hotel you're
gonna want to check out the hotel
website sometimes they'll do online
deals more often than not those deals
are if you booked like 30 days in
advance
but sometimes places can have a
last-minute deal booking type thing so
check the hotel website out just in case
the next tip if you decided to hotel
that you want to stay at is to download
the app again this generally tends to
work if it's a chain hotel so double
check I know that Hotel apps like Mario
or Hilton if you download the app and
you accumulate a set amount of points
you can get some really good last-minute
deals so double check those if that's
the type of hotel you were looking for
another app to check out is last minute
comm I love last minute comm they have a
secret deal section where you can choose
a hotel you don't know what hotel it is
but you can get really good prices for a
last minute secret hotel and you'll get
an idea right you can choose if it's
like a 3 star 4 star 5 star but then
when you book your dates they'll tell
you the hotel you're in and then you go
and it's kind of like a a mystery hotel
the rate file it would definitely
recommend it especially if you're doing
like a last-minute weekend trip away
another thing to check is coupons so in
the UK we have websites out hot UK deals
and Groupon but there are lots and lots
of voucher companies out there all of
the major ones I will leave links in the
description below but there are lots of
websites out there that will share deals
and vouchers for different types of
hotels and holidays especially if you're
traveling in the offseason so I will
leave all those below make sure you
check them out another website to check
out is rumor now I actually have a unis
website before but I've heard great
things about it so basically if someone
has booked a hotel room and they now
can't stay in that hotel room but they
can't cancel their stay they will put it
on rumor so basically you're paying for
someone else's room they get some money
back because they can't cancel their
trip but you're getting a discounted
room as well like I said I haven't used
it but I'm looking forward to trying it
and one last one do not forget top
cashback and I think I've mentioned this
one before but top cashback is a
fantastic website where you can book
your trip via their website and make
some type of Commission back so for
example if you were to book a
fifty-pound room on Travel Lodge you
might get yourself two percent back
which isn't much
it all adds up I remember we first
booked our trip around Asia all the
money that we made from top cash backs
we were able to buy it cans first DSLR
camera with so make sure you're using
cash back you can make money back it's
not just for travel as well you can use
if your clothes shopping you can use it
for your grocery shopping and you can
save money on there and get money back
so definitely check it out I will leave
the links in the description below and
actually if you click on our links you
can get some money back as well so check
it out but it's a really good website to
save money and make a bit of money back
when you're traveling so those are some
really quick tips on how you can book
yourself a last-minute hotel I hope you
have a great weekend or a great little
last-minute trip away thank you so much
