As a travel enthusiast, I’ve learned that a few simple hacks can save you hundreds, even thousands, of pounds on your next holiday. From the time of year you book to the platform you use, there are plenty of ways to get a better deal on your hotel room.
Don’t Get Ripped Off
We’ve all been there - scrolling through Booking.com, finding the perfect room, and booking it without a second thought. But did you know that switching to the Booking.com app could save you up to £16 per night? It’s true! According to travel expert Conor O’Neill, who has shared his top 10 hotel hacks to avoid rip-offs, the app often offers cheaper rates than the website.
Book smarter, not harder
And it’s not just Booking.com. Conor recommends comparing prices across different platforms to find the best deal. You might be surprised at how much you can save by doing your research.
Beat the System
Another clever trick is to start your hotel stay on a Sunday. Conor found that this is often the cheapest night to book, and he managed to snag a hotel room in Italy for just £17 per night! It’s all about being flexible with your travel arrangements.

And if you’re planning a last-minute holiday, don’t worry - you can still get a great deal. Conor found that booking a hotel in Tenerife just a week in advance saved him a pretty penny.
