4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Davao

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most affordable time to visit Davao is between September and November, when hotel prices tend to be lower. For a budget-friendly trip that allows for thorough exploration of the city's historical landmarks and cultural attractions, a stay of at least 3 to 4 days is recommended. During this time, you can discover the rich heritage of Davao while enjoying great value for money on activities such as shopping, dining, and visiting wildlife parks. The potential for lower prices during these months makes it an ideal choice for those travelling on a budget.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To discover last-minute deals to Davao, visit the Deals or Last-Minute Deals section on Hotels.com, where you may find discounted rates on hotels as your travel date approaches. By enabling email alerts or push notifications, you could stay informed about flash sales and exclusive last-minute promotions, helping you seize opportunities to save. Additionally, the Smart Shopping tool available via the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you’re well-informed. If rooms become available or prices drop, you're more likely to see these updates promptly, making it easier to secure your getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate based on various factors, including the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year. Therefore, being flexible with your travel dates may help you save on your stay in a Davao hotel. For those seeking a distinctive experience, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised touch and occasionally better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we will inform you if the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price is on the higher side, we may suggest more economical dates, increasing the likelihood that you'll secure a better deal.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels near the city centre generally tend to be more expensive; however, thanks to Davao's excellent public transport connections, you may discover a more affordable independent hotel a bit further out that remains well linked. For those keen to explore alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there is often remarkable value for money to be found. Opting for these alternative destinations could provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
