The accommodation is a major factor in your trip and can even make or break it. The primary factor is that your accommodation choice needs to be safe, both in terms of the building itself being secure, and the area being safe for you to stay in.

Start by only looking at reputable websites when booking your holiday accommodation. You can review each option to see what it can offer you – take particular note of previous reviews to see what other people have said, and also make sure that you read the description carefully.

You also need to conduct your own research into the area to find out what it is really like. This is important for finding out if it is the right kind of area for you, but also to learn about safety and if there are any concerns. Look out for statistics like crime rates as well as seeing how much of a touristy area it is.
