Ubid4rooms.com: Last-Minute Prices For Australian Accommodation
November 8th, 2007 by The Backpackers Team
Backpackers heading for Australia might just be interested in a new online accommodation booking service recently launched in the country.
Ubid4rooms.com offers travellers the opportunity to bid on discounted rates for rooms provided by participating accommodation providers. You submit a bid with the rate you’d be prepared to pay, and the hotel either accepts or declines your offer
Unlike other auction processes, you are not bidding against others, but making an offer directly to a hotel. The bid is only open for three hours, so same day confirmation is assured if bid is accepted.
Backpackers might not always get rates quite as low as hostels tend to be able to provide, but if you’re looking for an escape from dorm living/eating/sleeping for a few days, and are willing to put in a few bids, Ubid4rooms might just be the way to go.
