10+ deciding factors how to choose a good hotel in Portugal

Welcome to Portugal - a cozy corner in the Pyrenees! The maximum impressions will be presented by two cities of this country - Lisbon and Porto. In the capital of Portugal, it is worth visiting the aquarium with its collections of 450 species of fish, as well as taking memorable pictures against the backdrop of the Belém Tower and the São Jorge Castle. In Porto, enjoy an exciting walk along the banks of the Douro River, including a tour of the bridge built by Gustave Eiffel and a Portuguese port wine tasting.

According to the Hotelhunter service, Lisbon is in the first place for booking hotels in Portugal: 68% of service users prefer it. The next destination in the popularity rating is Porto: 19% of tourists seek to get here. The top five regions are rounded out by Albufeira (7%), Ponta Delgada (6%) and Faro (3%).

The average cost of accommodation in this European country is quite high - $ 137. However, there are several factors that can be taken into account to significantly reduce it:

  • seasonality: February is the cheapest month to stay with an average drop in room rates by 41%; June-September is the most expensive time to place with an average rise of 22%;
  • day of check-in: the average rate on weekdays (Sun-Thu) is $ 115, while a weekend night (Fri and Sat) can cost $ 124;
  • promotions, deals and bonus points from local hoteliers;
  • Discounts for certain categories of travelers: young children, students, schoolchildren, regular customers, people of retirement age, married couples, numerous companies.

Don't overlook any of these factors: each of them is a component of your financial success. Take the time to compare prices in hotels of different categories.

These simple life hacks will save a lot of money in your wallet. You can pay for a 4-star hotel as little as $ 27-36 (instead of $ 82-86) or for a 3-star hotel - $ 9-10 (instead of $ 42-46). This will give you the opportunity to spend your savings solely on entertainment.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

How long does the hotel wait for the guest after checkout time?

In most hotels of Portugal, guests are expected until midnight of the day of arrival, unless the exact time of arrival was specified when booking

What documents do I need to present upon check-in?

Upon arrival at the hotel, all guests must present their passport to the administrator. In some cases, a credit card may be required.

Non-refundable tariff - what is it?

A non-refundable rate is a rate in which a room is booked at the lowest price, but a prepayment is required, which is not refundable in case of cancellation.

Can I book 2 rooms at once?

Only one room can be booked per name. If you need to book several rooms, then in this case you will need to indicate in the application the full names of those people who will live there.

Why are 5 star hotels in Portugal different in quality?

Because the procedure for assigning stars to hotels is regulated by the hotel standard, issued back in 1989. Since then, the standard of living has increased greatly and those points of this standard that in the past could be classified as luxury are no longer so today. For this reason, a 5 * hotel can sometimes match the quality of service to hotels with fewer stars. Also, in a number of countries, the Ministry of Tourism can assign the star status based on national standards.

What is the difference between a Deluxe room and a Junior Suite?

The main differences between these two types of rooms are the size of the room, decoration and layout. When choosing accommodation options on our website, you can find the photos and detailed descriptions of all room categories.

Can I cancel my booking

In most cases, you can cancel your booking for free up to 24 hours before check-in time. In addition, there are special offers that allow you to cancel your booking one hour before the check-in time. Cancellation charges may apply if rooms are booked at a deep discount. Sometimes you can meet completely non-refundable rates. During the high season in Portugal, rooms are being sold out faster and hotels typically tighten up booking conditions to reduce cancellations. For this reason, we advise you to read the cancellation policy carefully before proceeding with your reservation during the high season. All the information you need is in the "Cancellation Policy" section.

Is the accommodation cost indicated for the whole room or for 1 person?

On our website, prices in Portugal are indicated for the whole room. The cost for a double room means the accommodation cost for two people, the price for a single room means the cost of accommodation for one person. If you intend to request an extra bed in the room - for example, when traveling with a child - you need to check the availability and cost of an extra baby bed. In order to avoid misunderstandings, it is better to clarify the information by contacting the hotel.

How to book a hotel in Portugal with Hotelhunter?

Can the guest choose the floor on their own?

In cases where the demand for room stock is low, hotels can take into account the wishes of customers.

Do I need to leave a deposit if the room has already been paid for?

Usually, hotels do not require you to leave a deposit upon check-in, however, in some cases, the hotel administration may "freeze" a certain amount on your credit card, which guarantees damages to the hotel in case the client damages his property or does not pay for additional services. This amount is returned after the checkout. If you plan to live in an apartment, then you will probably be asked to leave a security deposit - this is a common practice when renting an apartment.
