How to compare places to stay

  • Recent reviews tell you more than the overall score; sort by date where you can.
  • Some charges are collected at check-in; the rate details list them.
  • Read the check-in and check-out times and whether late arrival needs to be arranged.
  • Check the bed setup and maximum occupancy of the room type, especially with children.
  • Carry the comparison through to the payment page, where taxes and fees appear on some sites.
  • Refundable and non-refundable rates sit side by side; read which one you are choosing.
  • Look at the map view to see how far the property is from the beach, the centre or the airport.
  • The same room can be sold room-only or with meals, so read the board type.
  • Check when payment is taken: at booking, before arrival or at the property.

Before you book

  • A screenshot of the terms you accepted is useful if a question comes up later.
  • Prices on provider sites change with dates and demand, so compare on the same day for the same dates.
  • Whatever a summary says, the conditions at checkout govern your booking.
  • Note the billing currency; your bank may add a fee for a foreign-currency charge.
  • Keep the confirmation email and any voucher where you can open them without a connection.

Questions and answers

Which places to stay providers does Aurum link to for Abu Dhabi?

5: Stay22, Booking.com, Trip.com Hotels, Expedia and Hotels.com. Each qualifies through an active link and verified coverage in Aurum's partner database.

Can I book a room with Aurum?

The site you book on holds it, and the property provides the room. Aurum takes no bookings.

Is places to stay coverage the same everywhere?

No. 5 of the 5 providers here are recorded as worldwide; the rest are verified for named countries or places. The "Where" line on each card states it.

Does Aurum show prices for places to stay?

On the provider's site. Aurum lists providers and where their coverage is verified; the provider gives the price for your dates.

How do I change or cancel a stay?

The provider's cancellation terms apply, as shown when you booked. Go to the provider directly, since the booking is with it and not with Aurum.

Is it better to book places to stay early?

Availability and prices are set by each provider and move with demand. If your dates are fixed, compare early and check each offer's free-cancellation terms, so a booking can still be changed.

What does the Where line on a card mean?

It states where the provider's coverage is recorded as verified in Aurum's partner database, as a country, named places, airports or worldwide. Check your exact address or airport on the provider's site.

A provider I expected is not listed. Why?

It may not be an Aurum partner, or its coverage of this place may not be recorded yet. The points on this page apply to any places to stay provider you compare, listed here or not.

Is this page advice?

No. It sets out what to compare and where coverage is recorded. The provider confirms the details, and a qualified professional is the right source for insurance, legal or medical questions.

Why are these places to stay providers shown and not others?

Those with an active link and verified coverage on record for the page. A provider without recorded coverage for a place is left off that place's page.

Does booking through a link here cost more?

A booking made after following a link may earn Aurum a commission from the provider, without changing your price. Prices, availability and terms are always the provider's, shown on its own site.

Who do I contact about a booking?

Use the provider's own support channel for changes, because it holds the booking. Aurum holds no bookings.
