Booking Strategies

Smart booking leads to secure preferred accommodation and potentially save money.

Advance Booking Recommendations

High Season (June-Aug) & School Holidays: Booking 6+ months ahead is common for prime spots for Example hotel Legoland. Other hotels, 3-4 months prior.
Shoulder Season (Apr-May, Sep-Oct): 2-3 well in advance is usually sufficient. Greater availability and potentially better rates.
Low Season (Nov-Mar): Most flexibility. Great offers a few weeks before, but 1 month ahead is a good practice for popular dates.

Booking Platforms

International Platforms: Use Booking.com, Agoda, Expedia, and Hotels.com for hotels and B&Bs. Hostelworld for budget. Airbnb for vacation rentals.
Direct Booking: For Hotel Legoland and Lalandia, direct booking via official websites usually has the best rates or special benefits.
Deposit & Cancellation: Policies vary. Check terms. Free cancellation up to a certain point (e.g., 24-48 hrs before check-in) offers flexibility. Non-cancellable rates are typically lower.
Seasonal Price Fluctuations: Things are more expensive during high season (summer) and Danish school holidays. Traveling outside these times can mean savings. Mid-week stays are often lower than weekends.

Practical Advice

Travel Flexibility

Check accommodation prices for different weeks if travel dates are flexible.
Shifting a travel by a few days can sometimes lead to noteworthy savings.
