Another thing you could consider is to bypass these comparison websites (that all take a commission on the price) and go straight for the website of the hotel or hostel you want to reserve a room. Often you can even negotiate on prices that way.
It must noted that Airbnb has changes things up significantly. Not only hotel and hostel booking websites have been bypassed, but hotel owners as well. So if you want more freedom, and want to spend your holiday as if you are a local, we suggest you take advantage of this opportunity.
