Cool post! Here are also some other ways of saving on hotels depending on your situation:

– If you book early, check out tripREBEL.com to get a refund if prices go down after you booked.

– If you have flexible dates DealAngel.com helps you find the cheapest days in a very easy and user-friendly way.

– If you book last-minute, apps like hoteltonight.com are great!

– If you don’t mind not knowing exactly which hotel you are going to stay until some days before check-in, take a look on GuestMob.com.

I hope you find this tips useful as well. Take Care.

Staying in hostels is the best idea for me. I don’t like to spend too much money in hotels for unnecessary things. Even camper vans is the best option, but for alone its going to be expensive. On longer trips I have often saved money by carting my dirty clothes down the street to a laundry or drycleaner rather than paying those ridiculous hotel prices and I always check prices for individual nights as the rates keep on changing according to the demand. Thanks for these tips now i can save more money.

Excellent advice on how to save money, however it could be a bit risky when you are shaing a room with others you do not know.

Thank for sharing your travel experience and wisdom with us. Staying i a hostel is cheap. The problem that arises is whe you do not know the people and their habits. it could end up being extremely expensive if you are robbed.

Traveling overnight has been my best option in case I am looking to save money on any trip. It helps me save a lot as you pay for the travel and you can very well spend time sleeping in the mode of transportation you are using. It can not only save you money, but it also saves your day and time which you can spend in roaming around the place you are visiting and spend there instead.

Great tips! I’ve been wanting to try the camper van option and will definitely try it on my trip to New Zealand. For finding local people to stay with, I use the site http://www.tripping.com. You can also find vacation rentals on there, but I haven’t tried that option yet.

Think you have hit the nail on the head with this article. We often tend to spend more money on accommodation when we travel and as a result have to have holes in our pockets. I liked the ideas you suggested and am looking forward to putting them to use for my trip later this year to Prague. Great post, was very helpful.

Your post made me think of how much better it would be to have a trip planned to save money in this way. I never once prior to this had given a thought to the fact that the most money spent is on staying in a place. Food is a relatively low pay factor but more than the actual travel you pay for staying and that burns holes in pockets. Liked the ideas and alternatives you have given to save money. I am hoping to use them and reap some benefits soon.

Couch swapping and using a camping van are things that I have not yet explored as a traveler who has spent a fair amount of money on getting to various places in the world. I am not sure if I am a tourist, a adventurer, a person who likes sight-seeing or a mixture of all three. Am hoping to experience using a camping van and couch surfing on my next trip. All the best for your next trip too.

For many travel enthusiasts the biggest turn off is the entire process of finding a place to stay at and the huge amount of money you have to shell out to spend one night under the roof. I like the idea of volunteering and staying in hostels. They seem like great options to save money and also have a comfortable stay.

Thanks for the tips! Travelling is quite expensive and you really have to budget your money. If you are travelling through plane, it’s better to look for flights that are giving away higher discounts. There are lots of promotions from airline companies and if you are smart and patient enough, i bet you can acquire much cheaper plane tickets.

Excellent advice from real travelers themselves, really cool Thanks, I wish I had more friends overseas, I guess couch surfing can help me with that too.
