Why We Don’t List Prices or Offer Online Booking

We get this question a lot — and it’s a good one. So here’s the honest answer: we don’t show prices or offer online booking because it allows us to give you a better holiday.

Here’s why it works in your favour:

Prices change constantly. Accomodation, Flights, exchange rates, local demand — they all affect the cost of your holiday. Rather than showing you outdated or inaccurate prices, we check everything in real time to make sure you’re getting the best possible deal when you’re ready to book.
No hidden fees. Online booking platforms cost money to run. The reality is, those costs usually get passed on to you. By doing things differently, we keep our service personal — and your trip better value.
We spot problems before they happen. Not all properties list the finer details online — but we know what to look for. Whether it’s a hotel that requires a three-night minimum stay, or a place that’s technically unavailable for just one day, we can often make it work with a simple tweak to your dates.
We know what’s really on offer. Some of the best places to stay don’t appear on booking websites at all. Our direct relationships with trusted suppliers mean we can offer unique options you won’t find anywhere else.
We personalise everything. Want a room with a view? Need easy access for mobility? Travelling as a couple or with friends? We’ll help match you with the right stay — because your needs aren’t one-size-fits-all.
We offer real advice, not algorithms. A listing can only tell you so much. We know which places are LGBTQ+ owned, which ones are genuinely gay-welcoming, and which properties consistently go above and beyond. We’ll be honest — and always act in your best interest.

You're not missing out — you're getting more

With Wide Awake Holidays, you’re not just booking a bed. You’re getting access to expert advice, insider knowledge, and genuine value. We’ll handle everything for you, with care and a personal touch. That’s why so many of our travellers come back to us.
