If you travel abroad, where will you wanna live? YHA, HOMESTAY or HOTEL?

To me it depends on where I go and what kind of journey I take or booked. I prefer a hotel mostly but that doesn't mean I will let anyone in to clean my room. I don't like the camping. If I go to Hungary I stay in my own house or if I stay in the capital city I take a hotel. I don't like to stay in other people's house. It gives me the feeling I need to walk on eggs and I am not free to do what I like. There are also times I sleep in my car (if I travel a long way by car) just on a parking place or at a gas station. Sometimes it's way easier to book a flight + hotel so the hotel is already included. BTW this is in most cases the fact. Just a flight or driving yourself is mostly way more expensive as all included.

Well, when we usually travel to other places, my family and I stays in a hotel. I think that it is safer because I can feel that the security is really tight. But, hotels are expensive. One more thing, usually hotels offer free breakfast! :) I hope that helps.

I have tried different kinds of accomodation: Hotels, hostels, bed and breakfast etc. Hostels are often the cheapest option, and that is nice if you don't have much money to spend on your vacation and it also a good place to meet other travellers from around the world. It can be a little annoying to share the bathroom with 15 other people and sometimes you have to spend a long time waiting in line. There are many different kinds of hotels, there are cheap hotels and there are really expensive hotels. I like to stay in a small locally owned hotels. Bed and breakfast is also a good option, and they are much smaller than the big hotels and you get the more personal contact with the owners.

I have tried hotels, resorts, pension houses, inns, hostels and one time homestay. If you really want to experience what it is like to live abroad or have some idea of it, try home stays. Besides from being cheap, the host family will be a great help when you do your travel in their city. They can give you tips and suggestions where to go and what to do. If you like it cheap and like to chit chat with different travelers like yourself, try the hostels or backpacker's inns... Besides from meeting different people from different countries, you will have a chance to interact with them and they might give you some tips in your visit there.

I like to stay in locally owned guest houses, cheap hotels or unusual accommodation. It is lovely when I stay with friends or family too. I traveled to Colombia earlier this year with my disabled son and my daughter. Due to my son being in a wheelchair we wanted ground floor rooms. We stayed at a lovely hotel but the room cost $85 a night so it was quite pricey. Then we stayed in a different city in a guest house that had a much cheaper price. Last year we visited Canada and traveled around to many different places. We stayed with a friend, family members of my brother-in-law, in student apartment, in a private room in a backpackers hotel and in a private room in a youth hostel. In my younger days I liked staying in dorms in youth hostels and backpacker hostels. I found the price easy to afford and now due to having kids I stay in triple bedded rooms. They have a double bed and a single bed or three single beds. Sometimes they have two double beds.
