Just confronted an excellent website that allows you to view hotel reviews and ratings as they are written by actual visitors. It provides a great deal of information to all users and covers everything from hotel availability to prices.

You can view these hotels by categorizing them by popularity, most recommended or by price to fit in to your budget. You can also compare your needs and the reviewer’s requirements and decide accordingly if the review is from your perspective.

Another big attraction is the powerful search engine that lets you select hotels and city from the auto recommendation from the website.

If you are serious about protecting the environment and reducing your carbon footprint they you may want to organize your holidays this year to take advantage of the many eco-friendly hotels and guesthouses that are now available.

The Falmouth Beach Resort Hotel in Cornwall has state of the art facilities and a stunning view looking out over the beautiful bay, but it is also committed to sustainable environmental management. The hotel adapts strict waste reduction policies including a recycling scheme, and encourages both staff and guest to use public transport, cycling and walking to get around. The hotel also sources produce for the kitchen from the local area to reduce food miles and carbon emissions, and encourages self-catering guests to buy locally as well. You might also be interested in the new eco-friendly holiday village being developed in Pembrokeshire, which comprises of timber lodges and cottages that follow a tradition Welsh village layout, but that are powered by renewable energy sources such as biomass fuels that are developed from local crops.

The best way to locate a hotel to stay in while traveling is to obtain state hotel information booklets/pamphlets, which are often left in restaurants or gas stations located at exits off the main highways. These booklets all contain discount coupons for the participating hotels, with prices much lower than prices available if you called a main hotel reservation service.

Normally, you do not have to plan by making advance bookings. Virtually all hotels located off these highways have some vacancy. This way you can continue your travels if you are not tired, or you can pull off the road and stop sooner should you become tired, or if the weather is bad. And, if the hotel you choose should happen to be booked, you can continue a little further to the next hotel.
However, if you are traveling with children, especially young children, we strongly recommend you do make advance booking arrangements. There is nothing worse than young, tired, cranky children if you’re looking for a hotel.

The spanish city of Bilbao is a special one. Not a megacity (500 000 inhabitants), but also not very cheap, ranking fourth in Spain after Madrid, Barcelona and San Sebastian.

The city is located in a hilly region, in the Basques Land, on the banks of Nervion River. The Basques are proud of them and of their wealthy capital, and sometimes some indepententists try to gather attention through attentats. But it is a safety place after all.

It is located in the golf of Biscay (Biscaya in Basque).

Bilbao was founded in the Medium Age , became in 1600 already the capital of Basques Land, and flourished due to industrial revolution(mining, shipbuilding etc).

It was always a touristic attraction due to its wonderfull hill location(trekking and climbing are possible), museums, hotels and appartments.
