How to Choose a Good Hotel in South America

Before booking your hotel in South America, it’s important to consider a few key factors that can really enhance your trip. Here are some helpful tips to help you choose the best place to stay:

• Book early: In popular destinations such as hotels in Rio de Janeiro, Cusco or Medellín, the most sought-after accommodation tends to sell out quickly. Booking in advance ensures better options and more competitive prices.
• Choose a strategic location: Staying near the historic centre, beaches or main tourist spots helps you save time and money on transport – especially useful if you’re planning excursions or visiting multiple places.
• Consider your type of trip: For couples, charming boutique stays are ideal; for groups of friends, shared rooms or apartments work well; and for families, prioritise hotels with breakfast included, spacious rooms or child-friendly amenities.
• Read reviews: Guest feedback is invaluable for insights into cleanliness, service quality and overall atmosphere, helping you make an informed choice.
• Check what’s included: Make sure your hotel offers essentials like free Wi-Fi, breakfast, free cancellation, transfers or access to shared areas like pools or gyms. These extras can really enhance your overall experience.
