Cheap Hotels Website
The following is a sponsored review for a hotel booking website.
I was asked to review Destinia and decided to check it out as I am all about saving money. The first thing I looked at was the look and feel of the website. I always am interested in how easy a website is to use. The site was well set up and offers a cool search engine to search for cheap hotels. I decided to check out some of the options in this search engine.
I searched a few major cities of the world and discovered that they do offer a variety of price ranges for hotels around the world. Since I always wanted to visit London, I did a search of London Hotels. While searching, the picture across the screen is a woman walking with a suitcase and it keeps moving. I liked this feature as it was not as many other hotel sites. The results took about three minutes and it came back with eight pages of hotels in the London area. Each listing gave details for the hotel and the price for the set length of stay and the per night charge. They truly have a nice database of hotels.
Since Destinia is a Spanish owned travel agency, all prices reflected are in Euros. I would like to have seen a conversion calculator for other currencies but that is easy to find elsewhere. The prices seem to be very reasonable and they also offer a guarantee that if you find a cheaper price with in 24 hours of your conformation, they will refund the difference. You can not beat that for a deal.
Overall, the site was well designed and it was easy to navigate. The prices seem reasonable for the European market. They offer other features on their site such as travel guides, airline tickets, apartments, and more.
One of the complaints I have is that there are times that you click a link and try to go back to the homepage and you end up on a page with a different language. This is easily fixed by clicking on the symbol of your country. The only other complaint is what I mentioned earlier that I wish that the fees were shown in all different currencies. Besides that, I recommend Destinia as one of the better websites I have found to find a great deal on Cheap Hotels.
