Guides to cheap accommodation

When choosing your accommodation for your trip, cost is often a very important factor. Those who want to see the world or just have a holiday but not spend a fortune, will probably need a guide to cheap accommodation. These could include motels, self-catering apartments, bed & breakfast houses, caravan parks, or backpacker hostels.  A good guide will usually include reviews and ratings of the accommodation. It should also include the addresses, contact number, website and booking details. It is a good idea to check the star ratings of any accommodation you are considering. Remember, while you want to save money on accommodation, you will also want something fairly comfortable, clean and well maintained. Check pictures of the place online if possible, and it is always helpful to ask friends or family for their recommendations for places to stay.

Accommodation ratings

The STAR Rating System in Australia is divided up into different categories of accommodation. These include: hotel, motel and apartment; self catering accommodation, bed & breakfast and guest house; tourist/caravan parks; backpacker accommodation; and houseboats. The ratings range from 1 - 5 stars, 1 being the most basic standards and 5 being the highest standard. The ratings are based on the level of maintenance, standard of furnishings, bedding, floor coverings, level of facilities and amenities, presentation, guest services, decor, room styles, choice of dining facilities, room service, valet parking, porterage and concierge services. Other considerations include internet access, tour booking service, public transport and organised activities for backpacker accommodation.
