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 That said, I did notice stuff like restaurant opening hours, transport links and very local tips were a bit outdated or missing in one section.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Reliable, But Sometimes Feels Outdated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 However, some of the information feels a bit outdated, especially in comparison to real time blogs and apps that are constantly updated.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.

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.

WOW – good deal, but OMG proceed with eyes wide open

IMO I had a mixed ride with Hotwire. I scored a great rate for a 4-star hotel in Barcelona and thought “yes!” — the price was way lower than usual. But then a few things made me raise my eyebrows: • The hotel name came after I booked — I picked “4-star, city centre” but only found out the actual property the moment my booking confirmed. • Absolutely no cancellation possible (I changed my mind one evening) — I accepted it, but still it felt a bit harsh. • On arrival the room was okay but nothing spectacular; the nightly “deal” was still decent though. • Customer service: when I asked a question about the booking they replied, but it took longer than I’d like. So overall: if you’re on a tight budget, flexible with exact hotel name and don’t mind the “mystery factor” — Hotwire can be a win. But if you expect full transparency, cancellation flexibility and zero surprises then IMO you might want to use it with caution.

A Bit Outdated, But Can Be Reliable

Hotwire isn’t as flashy as some newer booking sites, but it can still offer solid deals if you’re flexible with your travel plans. I’ve used it a few times for last minute hotel bookings and saved a decent amount. The “Hot Rate” deals can be great, but you don’t always know exactly what you’re getting until after you’ve booked. Customer service is hit or miss, and the website could use a refresh. Still, if you’re looking for savings and don’t mind a little mystery, Hotwire is worth considering.

Convenient, But Can Be Unpredictable

Travelocity is one of those websites that gets the job done, but it’s not always the best option. I’ve booked flights and hotels here several times, and while I’ve had some smooth experiences, I’ve also had problems with reservation errors and delays. The prices are competitive, but I’ve had issues when trying to modify a booking. Customer service could be quicker, and the website design feels outdated. It’s not a site I actively seek out, but if I find a good deal, I’ll still use it — just with caution.

Mixed Experience, But Worth Trying

GetYourGuide offers a wide range of tours and activities, making it a convenient option for booking experiences in a new city. I’ve had some fantastic tours that felt well-organized and led by knowledgeable guides. However, I’ve also had a few experiences where the tours were overpriced or underwhelming compared to what was advertised. The platform is easy to use, but sometimes the descriptions don’t match the actual experience. Despite the inconsistencies, it’s a decent option if you want to find local tours quickly. Just be sure to read reviews carefully and confirm details before booking.

Good for Browsing, Not Booking

Kayak’s great for comparing prices, but I don’t actually book through it anymore. Too many bad experiences with the random sites it redirects you to. I still use it to scope out deals, but once I find what I want, I go directly to the airline or hotel to avoid surprises.

Useful for Reviews Check

I've used this website to check on the reviews of Hotel personally. It is helpful to see the location of the hotel and the nearest public transport that I can take. Besides real life picture of the hotel building and room are so helpful to help me decide whether to book at this hotel or not. Sadly they just provide reviews and not booking as they will direct us to another booking platform

A Crowd-Sourced Giant That Needs Curation

TripAdvisor is a comprehensive platform for reviews on hotels, restaurants, and attractions. The vast number of user-generated reviews provides diverse perspectives, aiding in decision-making. However, the sheer volume can be overwhelming, and not all reviews are equally reliable. Some businesses may have inflated ratings due to incentivized reviews. The forums are helpful for specific queries, but the site's interface feels dated. Despite these drawbacks, TripAdvisor remains a valuable resource for travel planning.
