There are a ton of hotels/hostels in the world, but finding a good hotel/hostel can be tricky. To find a good accommodation, the most important things is to make sure the hotel/hostel are safe, reliable and inexpensive. So, I going share some tips that how I determine if the accommodation is reliable or not.
Google the accommodations
