be careful with these

I booked a hotel through Splitty.com because the offer seemed great-u pay, u get confirmation, everything is fine. However, it turned out that the hotel had no record of that name or my reservation, and when I asked for help, the support team was laconic, saying, "We'll check," and that was it. I wouldn't do it again.

Not for first time travelers

I wouldn’t recommend Splitty to someone new to booking hotels. The structure can be confusing, and if you don’t understand how the split rates work, you might run into issues. That said, it can be a money-saver if you know what you’re doing.

Total Letdown

Booked a hotel in Miami, got a confirmation, but the reservation wasn’t actually made. Customer service was slow and didn’t solve anything. Had to find a last-minute place myself. Never again.

Good prices

Good platform with competitive prices. I liked being able to compare multiple car rental companies in one place. I found a rental car for my vacation in minutes and the process was smooth. My only small issue was that the rental company asked for extra documentation at pickup, but that wasn’t EconomyBookings fault.

Smooth Car Rental Experience

Booked a car through for a weekend trip to Lake Tahoe. The process was easy, and I got a good deal. Pick-up and drop-off were hassle-free. Saved time and money will definitely use it again for future travels.

Misleading Photos & No Help from Hotels.com

I booked a hotel in Rome through Hotels.com. The photos looked great, but when I arrived, the room was dirty, noisy, and nothing like the listing. I tried contacting Hotels.com for help, but they just bounced me around. Ruined the first night of my trip. Disappointed.

Meet Expectations....

I am utterly, completely fed up . I came to this site expecting a reliable, straightforward booking experience, maybe even a good deal, but what I got was a total bait-and-switch that absolutely shredded my travel plans...

Misleading Listings

I had a really disappointing experience with VRBO. The listing was nothing like the photos the place was dirty and poorly maintained. Customer service was slow to respond and unhelpful when I raised my concerns. Definitely not worth the money or the hassle. Would not recommend using VRBO for your vacation plans.

Yet Another Confusing

And the communication with the "owners" – or whoever they are – is a nightmare. I sent a message about a property, and it took days to get a response, only for them to tell me it wasn't available for my dates, even though the calendar showed it was! Then I tried another place, and my "request to book" just disappeared into the ether. No confirmation, no rejection, just gone. Is anyone even running this site?

Price Change

All of the hotels price went up whenever I get redirected to other platforms. Hotels recommendation also only the hype or expensive one. Not so many variety. Better use other platform in the first place

Saves time

I’ve been using Trivago for a few trips now, and overall, it’s a very useful website for comparing hotel prices across multiple booking sites. What I like most is how quickly it pulls together a wide range of options, which saves me the hassle of checking each site individually. The filters are helpful, letting me narrow down choices by price, rating, amenities, and location, which makes planning much easier.

Price discrepancies

The price shown on Trivago didn’t include all taxes and fees. I ended up paying more when I booked, which was annoying.

It is great

OMG, I’m a huge fan of Lonely Planet – WOW – I’ve used their guidebooks for years and they’ve helped me discover hidden gems in Asia and Europe. IMO their articles on lonelyplanet.com still deliver good inspiration and destination stories. I recently used their Greece guide before a trip and loved the vibe, maps and big-picture ideas. That said, I did notice stuff like restaurant opening hours, transport links and very local tips were a bit outdated or missing in one section. So I found myself cross-checking with blogs or forums anyway. Also the website login and checkout for books could be smoother. But overall the value is solid if you just want great ideas and reliable general guidance. ✅ What I liked: The “big themes”, destination coverage, quality writing and travel passion shine through. 🚫 What could be better: More up-to-date local info, better customer service and fewer technical hurdles when ordering. Would I recommend? Yes — if you’re planning your trip and need a trusted source. But if you need minute-by‐minute, ultra-current info, you might supplement it with reviews/blogs. In short: Lonely Planet still rocks for inspiration and planning, IMO… just don’t rely solely on it for last-minute logistics without checking elsewhere.

Reliable, But Sometimes Feels Outdated

Lonely Planet has been my trusted travel companion for years, and its guidebooks are still some of the most reliable sources for in-depth travel info. The online content is also quite comprehensive, offering detailed articles about destinations, tips, and must see places. However, some of the information feels a bit outdated, especially in comparison to real time blogs and apps that are constantly updated. It’s still a great resource for planning, but I often complement it with more current reviews from recent travelers. If you love detailed guidebooks and well researched content, Lonely Planet is definitely worth checking out.

WOW – a great deal, but OMG a few hidden catches

IMO I had a mixed but memorable experience with Hopper. I found a super cheap flight + hotel bundle for our weekend trip and I thought “OMG yes!” — the price was way lower than I expected. But then: • The hotel-booking part arrived with “resort fees” and parking charges I hadn’t fully anticipated – not huge, but enough to make me pause. • When I needed to change one of the dates, the support chat was slow and the only option seemed to be cancel+rebook (which meant losing some of the bargain). • On the flip side: the app was slick, using the “price freeze” option (for flights) was useful — I locked in a fare before it spiked. So overall: 4/5 stars from me. If you’re flexible, pay attention to the fine print, and are okay with “deal-airport/lesser hotel name” trade-offs, Hopper can be a win. But if you expect everything ultra-transparent and “no surprises”, then IMO you might want to book somewhere with fewer variables. Final thought: Worth using, but go in with your eyes open and maybe a backup plan for support issues.

Convenient, but Doesn’t Always Live Up to the Hype

Hopper promises to help you predict flight prices and give you guidance on whether to book now or wait for a better deal. It’s a handy app that provides a colorful and easy to understand price forecast for flights, but I’ve found that its predictions are sometimes off. While it’s useful for getting a general idea of trends, I’ve noticed that prices don’t always follow the app’s predictions. That said, it’s still a good tool for gathering data on potential price fluctuations. If you don’t mind the occasional misprediction, it can save you some money.

Definitely a trustworthy platform

TrustedHousesitters helped me find an amazing sitter for my two cats while I was on vacation. The whole process was smooth, and the sitter kept me updated regularly. It felt great knowing my pets were happy and well cared for.

Unique Opportunity, But Niche

I stumbled upon TrustedHousesitters as a way to travel more affordably, and it’s been a rewarding experience. The platform connects travelers with homeowners who need pet sitters while they’re away. It’s perfect for slow travelers, especially those who love animals. The experience is fantastic when it works, but it’s a bit niche. You need to be comfortable with pet care, and the platform can be a little slow to approve sitters, making it difficult to land a gig initially. Still, for those who fit the mold, TrustedHousesitters offers an incredible way to travel for free and connect with amazing people.

In my 20s it was super cool to host tourists from around the world but then couchsurfing was bought by new owners and became with paid subscriptions...then everything was ruined and I stopped using it

Community-Oriented, But Not Without Risks

Couchsurfing is a fantastic way to meet locals and experience a city in an authentic way. I’ve had some incredible hosts and learned a lot about the places I’ve visited. However, the platform has its flaws. It’s not always easy to find trustworthy hosts, and the site’s been criticized for a decline in user quality and safety concerns. While it’s great for budget travelers who want to dive into local culture, you need to be cautious and make sure you’re choosing your hosts wisely. It’s a mixed experience, but one I keep coming back to for the right adventures.

Travelzoo Can Save You Money (If You’re Careful!)

OMG — I signed up with Travelzoo expecting WOW-worthy travel bargains, and in many ways they delivered. I found a hotel + dinner package for WAY less than booking direct, which was awesome. IMO the “Top 20” deal list is fun, full of inspiration, and definitely worth subscribing to. That said: I did hit a few hitches. The voucher I purchased had quite a few hidden conditions (dates, extra fees) that I only spotted after the fact. Also, when I had a question about the booking the response from the support team was slow — and a little vague about who was ultimately responsible (Travelzoo vs the hotel). So while the deal looked amazing, I ended up needing to call the hotel directly to sort a small glitch. ✅ What I liked: Good value: the deal REALLY saved me money vs typical rate. Lots of variety: hotels, dinners, experiences — fun to browse even if you don’t buy right away. 🚫 What could be better: Clarity on fine print: I wish the restrictions were more upfront. Customer service: when issues arise you’ll want someone responsive. Would I recommend Travelzoo? Yes — if you’re willing to do a bit of homework, read the voucher terms, and aren’t expecting perfection. But if you absolutely need flexibility or zero-risk, you might look somewhere else. In short: Travelzoo can be a smart move for bargain-hunters, IMO — just don’t treat it like a “set-and-forget” luxury travel provider.

Deals Can Be Great, but Sometimes Too Good to Be True

Travelzoo is known for offering some seriously discounted travel deals, and I’ve scored some incredible offers for hotels and activities through them. However, I’ve also encountered a few deals that were too good to be true, with limited availability or unmentioned restrictions. The site is well organized, and the deals are definitely tempting, but you have to be cautious. I always double check the terms and conditions before booking. If you’re willing to put in the effort to research, Travelzoo can be a goldmine, but it’s not always as straightforward as it seems.
