TripAdvisor -- Tips and Advice


TripAdvisor Advice

TripAdvisor announced the top ways it helps travelers get the most bang for their buck.
Many times I use these online travel sites to find the best deals
and I felt this information would be useful.

Top Values --
TripAdvisor travelers looking for an amazing stay on their trip to high-priced New York City, for example, could uncover that the Top Value four-star Hotel Giraffe offers a highly-rated stay at an average of $331 per night, which might be a perfect alternative to the Sofitel New York, a four-star property that runs an average of $429 per night.

Vacation Rentals Calculator
The Vacation Rentals Calculator reveals which choice -- a hotel or vacation rental -- will save you money based on these criteria. For example: a family of four looking to spend three days in Orlando, Fl, could save around $210 by staying in a vacation rental instead of a hotel and eating a few meals in.

Great Summer Escapes
TripAdvisor's "Great Escapes" provide inspiring, wallet-friendly getaway options, revealing trips by air or by car that cost less than $199.

TripAdvisor Flight Search
TripAdvisor has a Fees Estimator that gives travelers an honest price for a flight by accounting for baggage fees, plus the cost of on-board amenities and other extras that can really add up.

Filters
You can filter hotel reviews on TripAdvisor to see only those written by people traveling on business, as part of a couple, with a family, as part of a friends getaway, or solo.

"Best for Less" Guides
These guides provide valuable insight on how to get the most for your money. Each features 8 to 10 destinations, highlighting five hotels, five restaurants, and three free attractions as part of a value-conscious trip. They have also included a "Dos and Dont's" for each destination.
