Planning a walking trip? Here’s why booking a hiking holiday with accommodation already arranged is the smartest move you can make.
One of the biggest challenges in planning a multi-day hike isn’t choosing the trails – it’s figuring out where to sleep each night. From location logistics to booking quality stays in unfamiliar areas, it’s easy to get overwhelmed before you’ve even packed your boots.
That’s why more and more walkers are choosing hiking holidays with accommodation included. At Trailmates Adventures, every one of our guided tours includes pre-arranged, comfortable lodging in locally owned guesthouses or small hotels – so you can focus on the walking, not the admin.
Here’s why that makes such a big difference.
When you book a hiking holiday with accommodation included, everything is organised for you. No need to compare hotel reviews, cross-reference trail locations, or figure out which towns are “close enough” to the route.
We handle all the details, so you don’t need to:
Book rooms individually
Navigate unfamiliar booking sites
Worry about location proximity to the trail
Deal with check-in times after a long day of walking
Just show up, enjoy the day’s hike, and settle into a warm, welcoming stay each evening.
We don’t just book anywhere. Every accommodation on a Trailmates tour is:
Locally owned and operated
Comfortable and clean
Well-situated near the trails or town centres
Selected for charm, service, and quality
From alpine inns in the Dolomites to guesthouses in rural Georgia or riverside hotels in Slovenia, you’ll stay in places that enhance your experience – not just give you a place to sleep.
One of the most common questions from first-time walkers: Do I need to bring a tent?
The answer is no. With accommodation included, you’ll have a comfortable bed waiting for you at the end of each day. No sleeping bags, no pitching tents, no cold mornings packing up – just a hot shower and a great night’s rest.
When we design our guided hiking holidays, we build the route around the accommodation – not the other way around. This ensures:
Each day’s walk ends somewhere rewarding
No awkward transport gaps between trail and hotel
A natural flow to the itinerary
Time to relax, explore, and recharge in the evening
We also coordinate all ground transfers, so if the trail ends in a different town than where you’re staying, we’ve got it covered.
Our accommodation partners are often family-run businesses with a passion for hosting travellers. They know the region, love to share local tips, and often become a memorable part of the journey themselves.
Whether it’s homemade breakfast in a Slovenian village or evening wine in a guesthouse garden in Montenegro, these moments bring depth and warmth to your trip.
Each of our hiking destinations includes pre-arranged accommodation, including:
Each trip is built around relaxing, authentic accommodation that matches the tone of your adventure.
Booking a hiking holiday with accommodation included means you get all the joy of the outdoors, with none of the stress behind the scenes.
