In the digital age, booking accommodation online is standard practice, but it also presents opportunities for scams. Fake listings with enticing photos and low prices can lure travelers into booking non-existent properties. To avoid this, use reputable booking platforms with verified reviews and secure payment systems. Contact the accommodation directly to confirm your reservation and clarify any questions.
