You can host low cost or even free for the savvies.  On arrival in a country where we knew no one, immediately arises the problem of emergency housing.  Most provident make hotel reservations before applying for a visa.
Others expect to have the stamp on their passports to get into the hotel steps. Once you reach your destination, all methods are “good” settle down: mobile home, caravan, roommate, holiday homes, …

Tourist can stay even the “Sopa” in Spain or call 115 in Paris.  The “Sopa”, which means soup in Spanish, is the shelter of the homeless in Spain.  And the 115 number free in Paris for the homeless.  It is not unusual to see tourists “lost” in these relief centers.

For the more fortunate, there are hotels and inns that offer several options such as:
- B & B (Bed and Breakfast): understand: bed and breakfast.
The half-board: where the resident is entitled to breakfast and dinner.
- Full board: which includes breakfast, lunch, dinner and supper.
Hotels are classified by the number of stars, plus the hotel is listed, it has more stars, which may be falling.

Hotel rates vary depending on whether it is downtown or in the periphery, the location plays a major role in setting prices per day or night.

Making the reservation many weeks earlier is a wise behavior for avoiding unpleasant surprises. Especially when every room are booked.
