Overseas Travel:

The Rise of Holiday

Rental

Accommodations

In addition, a hotel room is a single room. It has a single or double bed, and everything else is

within the field of vision. Holiday rentals, on the other hand, are spacious enough to handle

multiple areas and rooms. The kitchen, dining, and other areas are far from each other, and

the beds are in separate rooms.

Comfort

A typical hotel room consists of a bed, desk, closet, entertainment system, and bathroom. If a

guest wants something to eat, they either call for room service or eat out. There’s a possibility

that they won’t satisfy their cravings, though. Being in another country, local cuisines are the

best they could get.

Holiday rentals offer the same features as a hotel room, but they also offer kitchens, laundry

areas, and others that are available in a house. If guests know how to cook, they can satisfy

their cravings immediately.

People who have extra cash might choose to stay at a star-rated

hotel because it’s the most common choice. Many travellers today,

however, beg to differ, as there more choices available to them.

Holiday accommodations in Asian countries like Thailand, for

instance, offer rentals to make guests feel at home even if they’re far

away.

Bigger Space

According to an info graphic posted by Home Away Travel Ideas, an

average holiday home is much bigger than a hotel room. Depending

on the rental, whether apartments, condominiums, or villas, it could

offer up to 2,000 or more sq. ft. of space, unlike hotel rooms that

only have about 400 sq. ft.

No Schedule

Hotels have their sets of rules. For instance,

breakfast buffets, housekeeping, and using

the swimming pool have schedules. It’s the

responsibility of guests to follow these,

which could be troublesome. A vacation

rental, however, is the complete opposite.

Guests own their schedule. They could cook

their food anytime or go for a night swim in

their rented villa’s pool.

Whether it’s a holiday apartment,

condominium, or villa, renting a place that

functions as a house is better when going

overseas. After all, feeling at home, even in

a foreign country, makes travelling more

enjoyable.
