- Hotels and guesthouses are more suitable for short regional stays.
- Hotelsare the best choice if privacy is important to you and you prefer your own room with a bathroom.
- Capsule hotelsoften offer shared rooms with bunk beds and shared bathrooms. These accommodations are usually very cost-effective, but there is often a lack of space for large travel luggage.
- Guesthousesare almost identical to capsule hotels, but they usually also offer a shared kitchen and a shared lounge.
- Internet cafesare often open 24h and are booked by the minute or hour. They offer a small room with a computer and sometimes a shared shower.
- Love Hotelsalso called short-stay hotels, are actually intended for couples who want to spend intimate moments. They can be booked by the hour or overnight.
- Sharehouses are a very popular and cost-effective accommodation option for Work & Travel participants. Bathroom, living room and kitchen are shared, but unlike a guesthouse, you get a room with storage space and often a desk.
- A sharehouse is especially recommended at the start of your Work & Travel stay so you can meet people quickly.
- For the price, the comfort is good enough to settle in and start working.
- Regular apartmentsare usually not worth it for Working Holiday participants because move-in costs often amount to 4 to 6 months' rent.
- Airbnbis relatively expensive for a single person, but if you rent an Airbnb apartment together with friends, the costs per person can be lower than in a sharehouse.
