How to compare places to stay
- The same room can be sold room-only or with meals, so read the board type.
- Some rates charge your card at once and others at check-in; the rate details say which.
- Recent reviews tell you more than the overall score; sort by date where you can.
- Check resort fees or local tourist taxes that are paid at the property and not in the online total.
- If you arrive late at night, confirm the property's reception hours.
- Room types state how many guests they sleep; match that to your group.
- Carry the comparison through to the payment page, where taxes and fees appear on some sites.
- Check whether the rate is refundable and until when, because the lowest rate is often the least flexible.
- Use the site's map to check the distance to the places you plan to visit.
Before you book
- Changes and questions go to the provider, which is the party holding your booking.
- Check review dates, not only ratings.
- Make sure the name on the booking matches your travel document where the provider asks for it.
- Complete payment on the provider's own checkout page.
- Compare what is included before comparing the price, since two offers rarely cover the same thing.

Questions and answers
Which places to stay providers does Aurum link to for Erbil?
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.
Who holds my reservation?
No. You book and pay on the accommodation site you choose, and it holds the reservation. Aurum compares the sites and links to them.
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?
No. Prices change with dates and demand, so they are shown by each provider at the moment you search, not here.
What if I need to cancel a stay?
Contact the provider you booked with; its terms for your offer decide whether and until when a change is free. Aurum has no access to bookings.
Is it better to book places to stay early?
There is no single answer, because each provider sets its own availability. Comparing once your dates are known, and choosing an offer that can be changed, keeps your options open.
What is the Where line on each card?
It is the provider's verified coverage as recorded in Aurum's partner database: a country, named places or airports, or worldwide. It is not a promise that every address inside that area is served, so confirm yours with the provider.
A provider I expected is not listed. Why?
Either it is not one of Aurum's partners or its coverage here has not been recorded. You can still use the checks on this page with any provider.
Should I treat this page as advice?
No. It is general information to help you compare providers. Confirm the details with the provider, and take insurance, legal or medical questions to a qualified professional.
Why are these places to stay providers shown and not others?
A provider is listed from Aurum's partner database when it has an active link and coverage on record for the page. Where no coverage is on record for a place, no provider is shown for it.
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. What you pay and the conditions that apply are decided by the provider.
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.
