A Guide To The Best 5 Apps For Booking Hotels, Rental Homes And Hotels

Choosing accommodation can be tricky. Travel With Bender have great recommendations on how they find cheap accommodation, but I have a few tricks of my own. Here are 5 of my favourite sites for booking accommodation. 

eBookers Travel

eBookers goes with the slogan “the world in your pocket”, and actually, that is not far from the truth. Their app is free and available on both Google and Apple Play Stores, which enables you to search for any kind of hotel worldwide from 5-star luxury to a hut (perhaps) and then, easily book for it once you have found an agreeable room and price. With more options available to booking flights and hiring cars, eBookers is in particular helpful if you travel regularly. Their ‘Bonus+’ incentive programme paves way for discounts on future bookings.

Booking.com

Backed up by fresh and funny TV adverts, Booking.com is an emerging and go-getting frontrunner in the travel site game. Their consistent app is exceptional and available both on Play and App Stores. You can search through a number of options for hotels in your preferred location and choose the one with the best rates, all with an easy tap of your smartphone.

Owners Direct 

Search and make bookings of the ideal holiday rental in a few taps! With the Owners Direct mobile app, you can effortlessly access all the needed tools to book, plan and manage your stay.

• Save and administer favourites

Hotel Tonight

This is yet another highly-rated app available on Android, Windows platforms and iOS. With the aim to take away stress from hotel bookings, Hotel Tonight selectively choose the best hotels based on your specifications and aids your room booking for the night in just three taps and a swipe. Their mission is to offer a better, attractive and streamlined mobile booking experience with no hassle.

Hotels.com

One of the most reputable booking platforms in the travel website industry is the Hotels.com. Not altogether different from Booking.com’s app, both are fine platforms, and it will probably come down to personal preference with regards to choosing between them. However, the only difference is its wide-scale availability on several app stores.

Apart from the typical App and Play duo, Hotels.com can be found on both the Kindle and Windows stores. Using its app, you can explore and make hotel bookings from more than 240,000 hotel choices worldwide, and access reservations even while offline.  So, even if you have made bookings to live in a shack in a shantytown, you could still push your smartphone in the face of the bemused local, as a way of international communication.
