They take care of the entire process, so you don’t have to spend hours on the phone with the airline or filling out forms.

Airbnb<\/h2>\n

I\u2019ve been using Airbnb since 2014 and stayed in many different charming places all over the world. Ranging from South Africa, to the US, to all over South America, and Europe.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve rented private apartments, as well as rooms from local hosts. It\u2019s a great way to connect with the local culture, since you can pick an Airbnb full of personality in your (to-be) favorite area.<\/p>\n

The majority of the hosts have provided me with great local recommendations, and several have also ended up becoming my friends. Some are just renting out there place once in a while, while others are running their Airbnb(s) as a business.<\/p>\n

I helped a local family in Cuba to set up their Airbnb listing. These days it\u2019s always fully booked, which completely has changed their life.

Booking.com<\/h2>\n

Each day, more than 1,550,000 room nights are reserved on Booking.com. Established in 1996 in Amsterdam, Booking.com has grown from a small Dutch start-up to one of the largest travel e-commerce companies in the world.<\/p>\n

Booking.com is a great way to discover accommodation options. If you travel frequently, you also get awarded via their Genius program with discounts and special treats like free breakfasts etc.
It exists this hate\/love relationship between accommodation owners and Booking, since Booking earn its revenue by charging commission.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ module_class=”flexed” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” width=”60%” width_tablet=”” width_phone=”80%” width_last_edited=”on|phone” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

They have however also changed the reality completely for these business owners, helping travelers to \u2018suddenly\u2019 find them.<\/p>\n

Some hotels offer discounts for direct bookings to get around the comission part (you can always check). I like to make direct reservations to support local companies, but use Booking frequently.<\/p>\n
