In order to search and book accommodation for our trips, our favorite tool is Booking.com : https://www.booking.com/
Start your search by choosing the destination, dates and travelers:
You will have access to a multitude of filters.
If during your trip, you will have a car, consider looking for accommodation with parking:
You can also choose only accommodation that has received good feedback from travelers. The rating is not necessarily a guarantee of quality but it can help.
PS: favor accommodation with a large number of comments. For example, if an accommodation has a rating of 9 or 10 while the total number of comments is low, the rating should have less impact on your choice.
Filters regarding Room facilities may be useful depending on your needs:
If your trip is not confirmed or if you want to keep flexibility regarding the choice of accommodation, choose establishments that allow free cancellation (while paying attention to the cancellation deadline when choosing your accommodation)
If you do not know the city well and you are hesitant to choose the district of your accommodation, often the « Guests’ favorite area » filter can help you
In addition to all these filters, you can also choose a price range (per night or for the entire stay)
For a better display of the list of accommodations, we advise you to choose « Only show available properties ». This prevents you from seeing establishments that are not available on your dates.
The result can be viewed as a list or on a map of the city, which can be helpful :
Choose your accommodation from the proposed list.
PS: If you need parking, read the description section of the accommodation carefully. Parking may be chargeable.
If you search well, you can find an establishment with free parking or allowing free parking on the street.
Before booking, also check the free cancellation deadline, the beds offered, etc.
Our choice for Booking.com is also encouraged by the Genius loyalty program. Depending on the frequency of your trips, you can reach level 1, 2 or 3.
This program allows you, by choosing accommodations displaying this option, to benefit from discounts, upgrades, free breakfast, etc.
In addition to Booking.com, we used the airbnb platform : https://www.airbnb.com
Its use is simple. It naturally starts with the choice of destination, dates and number of travelers:
airbnb also offers several filters (equipment, price, etc.):
The result of your search can be displayed on a map to facilitate the choice:
When making your choice, don’t forget to check the final price, which generally includes cleaning fees, airbnb fees and taxes:
