Getting a great accommodation deal isn't just about finding the lowest price, it's about getting the best value for your stay.
Here are some of the most effective ways to ensure you’re getting the best bang for your buck when booking accommodation in hotels and motels.
Many accommodation providers, Bunbury Apartment Motel included, offer their best rates, exclusive discounts, or added perks when you book directly through their website or by phone. These extras might include:
Booking platforms like Booking.com and Expedia can be useful for comparisons, but always head back to the accommodation’s website to book for the best rates.
As we mentioned above, a great way to get the best rates is to use booking sites like booking.com and Expedia.com to compare prices for available options.
But, don’t forget, when you’ve decided on the place you would like to book your getaway at, but always check the property's own website before booking. Direct prices are often the same (or better!) and may include extra benefits.
Accommodation prices usually drop outside of school holidays, long weekends, and major events. If your dates are flexible, shifting your trip by a few days can result in significant savings.
Many properties release discounted advance purchase rates months in advance. Booking early also gives you the widest choice of rooms and locations.
If your plans are flexible, last-minute discounts can offer excellent value, particularly when hotels are trying to fill empty rooms.
Accommodation providers (like ours!) frequently send exclusive offers to subscribers before advertising them publicly. You may also receive welcome discounts for signing up.
A one or two day difference can dramatically affect pricing, especially in popular destinations. Midweek stays are often cheaper than weekends.
A good way of checking is to call up the property itself to see if what the best rates are on each day.
Many properties offer discounted nightly rates for extended stays, such as:
Always check with the property itself for any special deals that are available.
Depending on your trip and who is travelling with you, you may find better value at places like cabins or apartments that often include kitchen facilities. By cooking and preparing your own meals, this will help save your budget for more fun experiences.
Many booking platforms let you track accommodation prices and notify you when rates drop, making it easier to book at the right time.
Research before you book!
Ultimately, the best deals often come from combining a few strategies: booking early, travelling on flexible dates, comparing rates, and checking the property's own website before confirming your reservation.
That approach can help you secure both a competitive price and added benefits that aren't always available through third-party booking platforms.
