Booking.com 8.6

Whenever you go on a trip somewhere, visiting a location you’ve never been to before, you’re likely to have absolutely no idea where you should spend your nights, what area is best for you and your wallet.

Well, Booking.com is here to make your life easier and has been for close to two decades. The mobile app the company has created to go along with its services is certainly quite useful to have on your phone, whether you travel often or just once in a while.

Easy to use

The app has a simple interface and it doesn’t require a lot of technical skills to figure out. As you kick things off, you’ll need to sign up with an email address, pick a password and set up the account. Then, it’s time for the good part, which is telling the app what you like and what you don’t so it can give you better suggestions when it comes to hotel options.

The first thing you need to do is be honest about how deep your pockets go and what kind of price range you can afford. There are five options there, ranging from “budget” to “premium.”

Booking.com further wants to know whether you usually travel on your own or with another person. You should also tell it what your must-have are during your stay, such as WiFi, breakfast, parking, and so on.

Great suggestions

Once you go through all the steps, the app seeks the nearest hotel that fits your profile. It will ask for access to your location, which is great if you’re looking for a last-minute place to stay in. The tool will give you directions on how to get there and tell you how perfect the place is for you by displaying a percentage showing how well it matches with your requirements.

As you scroll through the screen, you can find out more about the hotel, including what amenities it offers. If you want, you can read hundreds of reviews from guests so you know what to expect, although if you don’t have the time for it, you can also check the overall grade customers gave it. It’s even possible to check out more info about the room you’re supposed to stay in.

You can, of course, search for almost any city in the world and get information about the best places there, looking for the one that’s perfect for your needs.
