Should you trust hotel reviews you see online????

Here’s our take:

Yes, you can take reviews into consideration, but its risky to base your whole decision off the perspectives of strangers.

We have been to hotels that had bad reviews, but they ended up being perfect for our travel styles.

On the flip side, we have been to hotels with great ratings that just didn’t quite live up to our expectations.

Taking the time to understand what you truly want and value from your travel experience is a great place to start so you don’t get confused or swayed when you read reviews.

Here’s how we can help: ​​When we make recommendations on where you should stay and what you should do, we are taking the time to truly understand your travel preferences, needs, and hotels/resorts you’ve enjoyed in the past.

That way we can give you clarity in the thousands of choices for resorts and hotels out there.

No having to guess or rely on mixed online reviews. Send us a message to chat more.

One of our best “travel hacks” is booking yourself a stopover

On her way home from Europe, Sarah chose to have a 36 hour stop in Vienna. Although it was a quick stop, this was a great way to experience somewhere new on an introductory level.

Extending your layover is an easy and quick way to experience somewhere new. Not to mention, this makes the trip back not feel so long since you get a break in between flights!

Contact Banks Travel for info on how to incorporate something like this into your trip.

“I need travel insurance but I am unsure of what I need or how to get it”

This is one of the most common lines we hear when booking trips.

Luckily, Banks Travel does travel insurance in-house for anyone, regardless if we booked your travel or not.

Thank you to for being one of our suppliers for insurance. ✅

Sometimes, the best adventures are found in the places less travelled.

One of the hidden gems of the Balkans is Bosnia and Herzegovina, home to rich history and stunning landscapes.

Here is what Sarah has to say about her experience:

“In my recent trip through the Balkans, I took a day trip from Split to Mostar in Bosnia where I visited the city of Mostar and the Kravica Falls. The highlights of the trip were getting to swim in the chilly freshwater lakes, climbing over the Old Bridge, and learning about the multicultural urban settlement in the country. Not to mention, the locals were friendly and the food was cheap and delicious”

The small-group tour provided a round-trip bus service as well as a guided tour through the town of Mostar complete with skip-the-line passes to the waterfalls.

For unique experiences such as these, contact our agency.

Common misconception: Travel Agents add on fees and mark-up prices for using their services.

At Banks Travel, this is not how we operate. We are almost always able to find you the same price, if not lower, as what companies advertise themselves. 👍

The only time we add on fees is for air-only bookings.
