Booking.com winter travel

Relieve yourself of the winter blues this year with a holiday. January through March is the perfect time to pick up a terrific vacation through the Booking.com sale. Whether you’re looking to hit the slopes with a sublime ski vacation, or get a base tan by flying off to somewhere for some winter sun, booking.com’s winter sale has everything you need.

Booking.com ski holidays

Think winter, think snow. And what’s better to do on snow than ski and snowboard? Booking.com’s January sale offers great discounts on a selection of snowy destinations. For an intimate, low-key ski break, check out flights and hotels in Flattach in Austria. This relatively quiet ski resort is situated deep in the snowy mountains and less busy than your usual ski palaces. Here you can also take part in night skiing, and have the mountains basically to yourself.

Looking for a resort with a little more bustle? Check out La Plagne in France. Booking.com has next-level offers on flights and hotels in the most popular ski resort in the world. With hundreds of slopes, on and off piste, that suit a range of abilities, La Plagne is the ultimate safe option. It’s also home to a ton of restaurants, bars and clubs for all of your apres-ski wants and needs.

Booking.com winter sun

If you’re adverse to the cold, treat yourself to a trip to somewhere warmer this winter. Do something different this year and take a trip to Kenya for a safari for a surprisingly affordable price. Safaris are not known for being cheap, but in January the prices drop significantly compared to the Christmas period. It’s also calving season, meaning that many of the animals will be easy to spot by watering holes and will have their newborn young with them.

Go to the other side of the world without spending much this January with a trip to Goa, India. Experience beautiful tropical beaches, mouth-watering cuisine and trigger your wanderlust with fun-packed adventure. Flights to India through booking.com are less expensive than you may have originally thought, and once you’re there you can live grandly off a a very small budget.

Creating your Booking.com account

The first step on your journey; create a Booking.com account. With a Booking.com login, you gain access to a personal dashboard, where you can search for your next holiday destination or the best deals on a business trip. You can access all your current bookings and have your confirmation sent to your phone or tablet. Plus, when you’re back from your trip away, sign in to Booking.com and leave reviews to let future holidaymakers know what a great stay you had.

There’s even tips to help you write your first review. You can also create My Lists in your Booking.com account, where you can save any properties or places to stay that you like the look of, which will help plan your next holiday, and you can even share them with friends. 

Have you ever had a really memorable summer holiday and wished you could relive every minute? Well in your Booking.com account, you can also view all the previous places you’ve stayed. So rather than searching for that idyllic farmhouse you booked in France a few years ago, or jogging your memory for the name of that hotel in Edinburgh where you spent New Year’s Eve, just check back at the last bookings you made to see if there are more great deals at the places you love.

Why book with Booking.com?

Not only is Booking.com a really quick and easy way to book your next holiday, it’s safe and secure too.

Is Booking.com safe?

Booking.com needs your personal data to help book your next stay online and to make sure you get the best deals to suit you. But they go to great lengths to safeguard that data and to ensure they’re giving you a reliable service. Booking.com has an easy to understand privacy policy, so if you’re unsure, read their online Privacy Statement, or watch their short video about privacy, to put your mind at ease.

Is Booking.com ATOL protected?

UK travel agencies that sell flight and accommodation package holidays are required by law to hold an ATOL (Air Travel Organiser’s Licence), which is designed to make sure you don’t lose money or get stuck overseas should your travel company collapse while you’re away. If you book flights or accommodation separately

however, and not as a package, you won’t be covered. So if you’re unsure, get in touch with Booking.com beforehand to find out how you would be covered if anything were to happen while you were on holiday.

Why use Booking.com?

With vacation packages, you get everything from flights to airport transfers and accommodation sorted for you. However, when you want the freedom to plan your own itinerary and explore the way you want to, Booking.com is ideal. On Booking.com you can find flights and hotels to apartments and car rental. You can even book trains and buses if you’re planning a trip to Europe, or book a table at one of 40,000 top restaurants from London to Los Angeles and Ottawa to Osaka. That’s because Booking.com, Rentalcars.com, OpenTable and more are part of The Priceline Group. So just by visiting the Booking.com homepage, you get the flexibility of booking a trip your way with the convenience of organising everything in just a few clicks.

How does Booking.com work for hotel reservations?

Booking.com lets you make reservations at hotels all over the world. It acts as the agent, or intermediary, between guests looking for rooms and accommodation with rooms to offer. Once you make a confirmation on Booking.com, your booking is given a reservation number and the hotel is notified of your reservation. When it’s time to pay, the transaction is made between you and the hotel, and you pay the agreed rate after your stay – it may be earlier in the case of non-refundable bookings though. The hotel then pays commission to Booking.com after your trip.

How does payment work on Booking.com?

The payment for your stay is made between you and your accommodation. In most cases, you pay when you’ve finished your stay, but for some properties on Booking.com, prepayment is required as part of their policy. How much that is will depend on the accommodation, so make sure you double check before booking to avoid any surprises. If you’re asked to enter credit or debit card details on Booking.com before your stay, this is to confirm your reservation. It’s also to ensure your card is valid and has sufficient funds when the time comes to pay. In some cases, the card you used to make the booking will be charged when you check out, or for any prepayments that are part of the property’s policy. When it’s time to take payment is not down to Booking.com, it’s up to the accommodation and their policy, so it’s best to contact them directly for any queries about payments or charges to your credit card. Cancellations on Booking.com also depend on the accommodation’s policy. Hotels on Booking.com without FREE cancellation on their listing may charge your credit card if you change your mind about a reservation, so do double check.

How do I cancel on Booking.com without paying a fee?

On Booking.com, the cancellation policy for a reservation varies from accommodation to accommodation. If your booking states FREE cancellation on the listing, then you may not be charged if you need to change your reservation on Booking.com. But for bookings that are Non-refundable, it’s not possible to change the dates of your reservation, and if you cancel you might be charged. Check your booking confirmation for more details on your accommodation’s cancellation policy if you’re unsure, and manage changes to your Booking.com reservation by signing into your dashboard.
