TIPS FOR FINDING THE BEST NEST

SOME POWER USER TIPS ON FINDING THE BEST TRAVEL ACCOMMODATION.

SOMETIMES, IT’S HARD TO KNOW WHERE YOU WANT TO STAY WITHOUT KNOWING EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT TO DO FIRST...

TO-DO LIST

Sometimes, it’s hard to know where you want to stay without knowing exactly what you want to do first. Apps like TripAdvisor and Airbnb have their own curated to-do lists and popular experience sections that’ll help you get a feel for where all the action is — helping you choose where you’d like to stay, or alternatively where you’d like to keep away from...

RESTAURANTS

In much the same way as proximity to activities will affect where you stay, everyone’s gotta eat and having the best restaurants nearby is a critical factor. Airbnb and TripAdvisor are again the best apps for working out if there are good restaurants near where you want to stay, but booking.com also has a travel article section where you might get lucky.

TIME

While most of the apps here will let you book for any point in the future, apps like Hotels Tonight work by offering great deals if you’re willing to risk holding off booking until just a few days before.

BUDGET

Different apps tend to specialise in different styles of accommodation, many of which will be unsuitable to what you’re looking for. Finding the app that most suits your budget and preferences will save a lot of time searching.

TRANSLATION

While it’s simple enough to download a standalone translation app, it’s nice to be able to translate a couple of things quickly using the same app you used to book your accommodation, if you need to.
