Hello Everyone,

All of us for sure love traveling and with the easy access now with transport even thus who cant afford to travel in the 80's and 90's can travel now. For sure when we travel if we dont have friends we always stay in some hotels.

But I just like to know, if you are offered to stay in your friends house when you travel, would you? I just like to know because I think there is something wrong with me and my BF because when we travel even if its our relatives we dont stay with theme. Its just very uncomfortable unlike in the hotel you can do whatever you want.

Do you like staying with friends or hotel? Do you feel comfortable when you stay with your friends?

Thanks myloters and happy myloting

hello eve, yeah I like travel very much, during travel, I prefer to book a room in hotel rather than staying with my friends. Since you are there for travel, not there to visit your friends personally, so if you stay in their house but not stay with them for longer time, it would seems that you don't like to build a good relation with them.
But when I travel to a city and my friends are around, I would pay a short visit to their house, or ask them out and have dinner together, and then the rest of time, I can travel anywhere I like alone or with my accompanies.

Thanks for the response iamfine,

We are actually like that too when we visit a place and we have friends we just go to there house for early afternoon drink and often stay till dinner but that's about all. We dont like inviting people to our house because my partner and I doesn't know how to prepare food so often we just invite our friends for dinner on a restaurant so that when they visit our place we dont feel oblige to invite theme to our house.

Though one of my partner friend every time we go to Brisbane he always into at trying to make us stay in his house but I really told my partner that I cant because the whole time will be just no comfort for me and even him admitted that too. Its really just better to stay in hotel.

Happy Myloting

yeah, better stay in hotel, since you pay for the hotel, your pay for their service, then you can do more radamly, because you are consumer.
But at your friends' or relatives' home, they of course will not ask you for a dime about, you should think about what should I do to respect them, what should I do to show my gratitiude to them...
So it is more relax to stay at hotel though it cost more expensive.

Hi, I love to travel too, but I only stay in comfortable, luxurious hotels. The cheaper ones are nice but doesn't have the service as good as luxurious hotels


myLot reputation of 89/100. eve301345 (392)   ranked 459 out of 5,315 in travel  1 month ago

I agree with you and often the staff are not nice as well in a cheaper hotel. because I am Asian I often get this "how would you pay for the room" look when I check in in the cheaper hotel not like when I stay in good hotel they treat you with respect and treat you equal to other guest.

Depends on where I travel. If I travel to a place where I have friends I usually stay with them because you get free accommodation and you catch up with the happenings of your friends. And I also stay with relatives.
But usually I travel to places where I don't have friends or relatives and of course stay in hotels or resorts or pension houses.
Then if friends and relatives travel to my place and they inform in advance, they can always stay with us and they can do whichever they like. No one will ever bother them in what they are doing as long as they are responsible enough.


myLot reputation of 89/100. eve301345 (392)   ranked 459 out of 5,315 in travel  1 month ago

Yeah but you know even in my best friend house I stayed once and even we been friends for long time its really difficult because I feel bad because I can see theme doing things and every time I offer a help they said dont worry about it and I finish up doing nothing and watch theme do something. Its difficult because as a free accommodation provided by theme you want to do something even just little in return.

sir it depends upon the closness with the friend if my friend is very close friend then i would surely stay at his home wheather he invites me or not but if he or she is my genuine friend then i will stay at hotel unless he invites me at his home.
but i had 3 to 4 holidays with my other friends and we choose hotels rather then our common firend.
happy mylotting.

While travelling it is always better to stay in a hotel. Me and my husband prefer a hotel to anything else. There are pople at our service and we feel more free in a hotel than at some acquanitance's house. We have to use their bed, linen,bathroom, have food with them...People travel to unwind themselves, and for me it isnt travel if we are staying put at some one's house.

It depends on the level of closeness i have with friends offering me to stay in their place. If they are the not soooo close friends, i seldom accept their offer, not unless i am on budget. It's good to stay in friends house because conversation and other interesting stuff are present every time. On the other hand, staying in hotel is not bad either. Yes, you can have all the time in the world without worrying other people. You can do what you want with no eyes watching. I can say that i feel comfortable with close friends if i am in their house, because if they are in mine---it's just the same. happy

Hi Eve,

I agree with your BF, I don't like to stay with my relative just for accommodation purpose. It is not polite if I did not bring the presents to them. If I buy the presents, it is very headache that which stuff I need to buy and it will distract my concentration on the travelling plesance. And further, it will cost the money to buy the presents. Why not just stay in hotle without being affected by the relationship concern?

If I want to save money when I go for travel and a friend or relatives offer me to stay at their house, then I'd rather stay. I can spend my hotel expense to buy something when I got back home.
