My secrets to booking and accommodation as a solo traveller

I always aim for a balance between price and comfort, but I do not compromise on safety. I have had a situation where I had to cut my stay short because my room was dirty and the area I was staying was not safe. I tend to book hotel rooms as I think this offers more safety and privacy compared to AirBnb rooms and hostel beds. I use Booking.com and Trip.com and with small exceptions, I have been quite happy with most of the hotels I have stayed in. Although I always book on a budget, so far I have stayed in places with brilliant SPA and wellness services, a hotel with a rooftop pool, hotels with big pools surrounded by palms, spacious rooms and welcoming staff.

If you prefer the more sociable hostel experience, I would recommend you book with HostelWorld.

What I look for in a hotel is no less than 3 stars, easy to get to from the airport/station, unless I have plenty of time. I prefer the hotel to have easy access to the landmarks I would like to see. Ideally, a 24-hour reception desk or responsive hosts.

Since my bad experience when I had to leave a room early due to its condition and location, I now also check reviews across different platforms (including Google), to make sure I am booking the right place for myself.
