A provider is shown on a place page only where its coverage of that place, its airport or its country is on record.

How to compare places to stay

  • 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.
  • Look at the final total with taxes and charges, not only the nightly figure in the search results.
  • Check whether the rate is refundable and until when, because the lowest rate is often the least flexible.
  • Location wording can be loose, so open the map and measure the distance yourself.
  • Meals, parking and transfers are part of some rates and extras on others; check the list.
  • Check when payment is taken: at booking, before arrival or at the property.
  • 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.

Before you book

  • Payment belongs on the provider's site; treat off-site payment requests with care.
  • Line up the inclusions first; the cheaper offer may simply include less.
  • Check official government advice for your destination before you book and again before you travel.
  • Write down the last date for a free change.
  • Book with enough time for the provider to confirm, especially in busy seasons.

Aurum lists only its partners, and only where their coverage is recorded. A missing name says nothing about that provider's quality; the same checks apply to it.
