Red Flags to Watch for When Booking a Place to Stay

 

Searching for accommodation resembles the online dating experience because it features enticing images and flattering reviews together with promises of a welcoming atmosphere.

Similar to those false Tinder matches there exist some listings which you should completely disregard.

 You have likely encountered such situations by checking into a beach villa that proved to be located at a distance from the ocean while overlooking a parking area.

 There is something as important as booking an accommodation and that is booking airport parking. So, don’t forget to check Airport Parking Stansted before travelling and book accordingly.

 Before making a booking for accommodation you need to watch out for several warning signs.

Limited or overly polished photos

The presence of limited photos or stock image photos should make you question the quality of the listing. An authentic listing provides different viewpoints that show bathrooms and common areas and property exterior views. No photos = no go.

 The reviews display generic language that might seem too perfect


A total absence of reviews is noticeable but multiple reviews written in an identical fashion should raise suspicions about the listing.

 Real guests share specific information about the comfortable bed as well as steep staircases and the nearby bakery. Look for those.

Overuse of vague buzzwords

A place can use these positive descriptions so long as they match actual experiences. A place that receives only generic praise about its charm without any concrete details such as amenities or location needs further investigation.

Lack of contact or slow responses from the host/hotel

The lack of response from a potential accommodation when you ask questions indicates poor service. Before booking the host or hotel must demonstrate their responsiveness and willingness to help customers.

 At the end of the day, trust your gut. When you experience a strange feeling about something it most likely indicates a problem.

 Spend the booking process with full attention to avoid future disappointment. You will be grateful to your future self who is relaxing in a real ocean-view room as a result of your current actions.
