4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Kisumu

  1. Book for the cheapest times: For those seeking an affordable getaway, the best time to visit Kisumu is during March, April, and August, when hotel prices are typically lower. To fully appreciate the city’s historical and cultural landmarks, a stay of at least 3 to 4 days is recommended. This timeframe allows visitors to explore a range of attractions, including the local fishing scene, historical libraries, temples, charming small towns, and beautiful natural parks. Additionally, you can enjoy the scenic lake views, play a round of golf, or relax by swimming in the inviting waters. Kisumu offers great value for money, particularly for those travelling on a budget, and the friendly locals add to the welcoming atmosphere.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To discover last-minute deals to Kisumu on Hotels.com, begin by exploring the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections, where you may find discounted rates on hotels as your travel date approaches. Consider enabling email alerts or push notifications from Hotels.com to keep informed about flash sales and special promotions, which could help you save. Additionally, the Smart Shopping tool available via the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring that if rooms become available or prices drop, you'll be among the first to know, making it easier to book a spontaneous getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate depending on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates may help you save on your stay at a hotel in Kisumu. For those seeking a distinctive experience, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised touch and may offer better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we’ll inform you whether the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price is on the higher end, we’ll recommend more affordable dates, which could enhance your chances of securing the best deal.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels situated near the city centre usually tend to be more expensive, but thanks to Kisumu's excellent public transport connections, you may find a more affordable independent hotel a bit further out that remains well-connected. For those keen to explore alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there is often exceptional value to be had. Opting for these alternative locations could provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
