Peek

Know a fair bit about the holiday rental market from years of doing it myself, and Peek is one of the better places to book. Good range of properties and the listings are usually accurate about what's included. The only thing I'd flag is the cleaning fee is added at the last step, which caught me out.

We needed a hotel near the airport for an early flight to Spain, so I checked a few booking sites before settling on this one. Peek had the best rate for the night we wanted, which was the deciding factor. The check in desk didn't open until later than the listing said though, so we waited about forty minutes in the lobby. Not a disaster but it would have been nice to know.

Booked a two night stay in Brighton through the app. The room was a bit small but the price was decent and the check in was simple enough. Would have liked a clearer map of where the hotel actually is.

Usually book through the big name site, but Peek came out cheaper for the same guesthouse in Whitby. Booking went through without any fuss and the owner was helpful about parking. Would pick it again over the others.

Needed a room near the hospital in Norwich at short notice for a family visit. Found one on here quickly and it was the only place with a free room that night. Check in was fine, though the room was smaller than the photos suggested.

Booked a flat in Leeds on my phone while queuing for a coffee, so the booking itself was fine. The check in was quick and the keys were where they said. The flat itself was a bit tired around the edges but it was clean and fine for two nights.

Been using Peek for about six years now for city breaks and the odd week away. Always find what we need, prices are fair and the confirmations land straight away. Never had a problem yet.

ok so the room in the Manchester flat was honestly nicer than the pics on the site, the bed was massive and it had a proper balcony. booked it at like 11pm on my phone and it was confirmed in seconds. host was chill too, texted us the door code the morning before. would book again for sure

Compared it with the big travel sites like always and Peek came out cheaper for the same hotel in Edinburgh. I've used them for about six years now, booking weekend breaks for me and the missus. Never had a problem.

We were after a self catch cottage in the Yorkshire Dales for a walking week, so I compared three different sites before booking. Peek had more photos and the map view made it easy to see what was near the trails. The cottage was warm and well equipped, with a decent drying room for the boots. Booking was simple and the host replied the same afternoon with directions.

Honestly I'd say this is a good site for a last minute trip. First time using it and the booking was done in about five minutes. The Airbnb style flat in Manchester was clean and the host had left instructions for the keys.

Booked a glamping pod in the Peak District for my birthday weekend with my mates, and it was a proper nice spot. The pod had a hot tub and the site was quiet at night. Didn't have to message the host once because the instructions were on the app.

Booked a lakeside cabin in Cumbria for a long weekend. The listing was clear and the check in worked fine, though the host's reply to my question about parking took a day and a half. Everything else was as described, and the price was a bit below the usual sites.

Booked a river cruise along the Rhine through the site, which I have done with them twice now. The package included the excursions and the cabin was just what I asked for. Everything went smoothly from start to finish.

The dates on the booking were right, which is the main thing. Got the confirmation email within a minute of paying and the cottage in Cornwall was exactly as listed. Lovely stay, will use again.

I was rather pleased with the way the cottage in the Cotswolds was presented on the site, with clear photographs of each room. The booking was completed without any difficulty and the confirmation arrived promptly. The property itself was everything I had hoped for, and I shall certainly book through here again.

Tried Peek for the first time after seeing it recommended, and compared to the other site I usually use it felt fiddly. The hotel price was about the same once fees were added. Cancelling took three emails and nearly a week to get a refund.

If you want a holiday rental in the Scottish Highlands, this is where I'd begin, having compared it with a few others before booking. The cabin near Fort William was warm and the host sent a useful welcome guide the day before. Booking was smooth and I got a refund quickly when our plans changed.

We needed somewhere to stay for a family week in the Lakes with two kids and a dog, so we compared a few booking sites first. Peek had the cottage with the fenced garden for less than the others and the confirmation came through straight away. Really easy to filter by pets too.

Way cheaper than the other app I usually use for hostels, which is why I tried it. Booked a bed in Edinburgh for a stag do and it was fine, honestly. Only minus was the refund option wasn't obvious, but I got sorted.
