This trip was a very satisfying experience and a good part of it is thanks to your website. The hotels were well located and in line with our expectations. Your planning tool, its adjustments to our requirements, easy modification of the number of days and cities we wished to visit - all of this has afforded us an excellent holiday. Thank you very much for your services.

Our trip to Europe was fantastic. My husband and I wanted to plan a 2 week vacation. This was our first trip to Europe, so I had no idea how to go about planning it, let alone booking overseas hotels without wondering what kind of place I was going to end up in. I found your site on Google and decided to check it out. I was not disappointed! It was quite easy to use. The four rooms we booked for Paris, Milan, Venice and Florence were clean, well maintained and in good locations as promised.The fifth was a B&B in Rome, also in a great location and within easy walking distance of several of the sites we wanted to see. Your site really made the booking process so easy! Being able to see photos of the properties, pinpoint their locations and read reviews from other travelers gave me a sense of security that I was booking a legitimate and well tended hotel. When I emailed your site with questions, they were answered promptly by a live human. I would definitely use the site again and recommend it to anyone looking to get started on planning their own trip.
