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.
hotwire.com
3/5
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.
travelocity.com
2/5
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 Customer service could be quicker, and the website design feels outdated.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.

5/5
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.
kayak.com
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.

What I appreciate most about Tripadvisor is the honest feedback from real people. It’s helped me avoid disappointing experiences and find wonderful accommodations and activities that truly exceeded my expectations. The community is active and responsive, which makes the whole process feel personal and trustworthy.

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
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.

I've booked accommodation through Airbnb quite a few times, but you really have to be careful. I've once booked for a 3 days stay at Japan and the host are great, room is clean, and detail listing in website is the same as what inside the Airbnb. But I've booked one room in Jakarta, the room is dirty, host is uncontactable, in the end I have to move to a hotel as the room is so bad
Airbnb has revolutionized travel accommodations by offering unique stays and the chance to live like a local. I've had memorable experiences staying in charming homes that hotels can't replicate. However, the platform's consistency can be hit or miss. Some hosts are exceptionally hospitable, while others are unresponsive or have misleading listings. The service fees can also add up, making some stays pricier than anticipated. Despite these issues, Airbnb remains a valuable option for travelers seeking diverse lodging experiences.

As a dedicated client, I can confidently say that Viator has significantly enhanced my travel experiences, thanks in large part to their exceptional mobile app and incredibly responsive customer support .
I’ve used Viator a few times for booking tours during my travels. The platform is easy to navigate, and it offers a wide variety of tours. The downside is that many of the tours are overpriced compared to booking directly with local companies. Sometimes, I’ve paid more for a similar experience. The service is convenient, though, especially when I need to book something at the last minute. In terms of ease and reliability, Viator is great, but for the price-conscious traveler, it might be worth looking for alternatives.

The tour was fun and the guide was great. The website was easy to use, but customer service was slow and not very helpful.

They some great deals but also a lower trendy place with higher pricetag.remind me for some kind of dropshiping but with tickets.The pricetag vary often...
I bought a 3-day Disney Park Hopper ticket for my niece. The ticket worked perfectly, and she had an amazing time. The price was a bit higher than some other sites, so it's worth comparing before buying.
oojo.com
which, in turn, sometimes led to minor delays in payment processing. While the service is generally quite effective, addressing these intermittent technical lags could certainly elevate the overall user experience. It's a solid tool, and with a bit more consistency in performance, it has the potential to be truly exceptional.
Used Oojo to send money to family. It was simple and fast most times, but sometimes the app lagged and payments got delayed. Overall okay but could be better.
