Taking a trip generally means spending your own time and money. So you want to be sure you find a place that suits you perfectly. Here are some tips to help you travel with confidence, knowing you’ve made the right decision.
Finding what's good for you
First of all, find a service or property that suits your needs by using our many search filters. When you spot something you really like, take time to read through reviews, host’s profile and listing description, paying special attention to the amenities, house rules, facilities and the cancellation policy.
We always recommend reading feedback from other guests as a great way of finding the right fit. You’ll find ratings on things like cleanliness and accuracy, as well as detailed reviews from fellow travelers. Guests can only leave a review after their trip, so you know the feedback you’re reading is from someone who actually stayed there.
Review the safety features
It’s a good idea to check for smoke and carbon monoxide detectors on the property, which you can find in the listing of amenities under Home safety.
Get your questions answered
Our secure messaging tool is a safe and easy way for you to ask a potential Host any questions you may have before you book. After booking, you can also message them to coordinate check-in, ask additional questions, and keep in touch throughout your trip.
Always communicate and pay on Africabooking
Keep yourself, your payment, and your personal information safe by staying on our secure platform throughout the entire process—from communication to booking and payment.
Do a safety check
Once you arrive, it’s a good idea to locate safety information and relevant emergency equipment, such as the fire extinguisher or first aid kit. If you’re not sure where something is, don’t hesitate to ask your Host. It’s always better to be prepared.
