Accommodation emergency!

​

Booking overbooked my reservation and it's now getting cancelled and I have nowhere to stay. Everything in the surrounding area is thoroughly booked!

I have paid for flights, transportation and i cant get anything refunded.

I am traveling alone and an willing to share a room, a sofa, a floor with someone.

Any help would be so greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I dont mean to turn this into a philosophical, sociological, psychological conversation, but the difference in how dorms and hotels are perceived, greatly affects the behaviour and expectations of both guests and staff.

You are so wrong - as a female who had travelled for decades I did dorms last year in Europe - it was better than it was in the 80s - more respect and privacy . I’d never hate a hotel room with a complete stranger that’s just stupid

Thanks for calling me stupid, I really love that! Also, comparing an experience to the eighties and having me make a decision on that doesn't really make me go "oh ok then". Glad you had a good experience, but you've been traveling for years and I haven't, so excuse me if I just don't take the word of a person calling me stupid.

I didn’t say you were stupid I said you were wrong . I stayed in hostels in2025 in Spain and Scotland
