The Soccer Finals 2010 to be staged in South Africa is edging ever so much closer to reality. World cup accommodation and 2010 accommodation are two phrases that are on everybody’s lips, whether you are a South African or a tourist.

Is there a sure way to know whether you are dealing with people with integrity and not a false website?

It is unfortunate that one or two con-artists can dramatically influence the perception of a country and a nation as a whole, and that it will be like that forever in this world of greed. It must be mentioned though that there are hundreds, if not thousands, of property owners with integrity and honesty who would like to offer 2010 accommodation to fans and probably at a much lower price that can be obtained elsewhere.

These owners pride themselves on the standard of the world cup accommodation they offer and the lengths they would go to, to satisfy their guests in true African style.

How does one then ensure when arranging world cup accommodation that one is in fact dealing with someone reputable?

It will not be easy seeing as all these property owners will firstly have their own website or advertise on a website of someone else, relating to 2010 accommodation. Secondly, all property owners will ask for an upfront, not refundable deposit, normally 50%. This is standard business practice and nobody can blame them for this.

My advice to anybody arranging world cup accommodation via a website, is to make sure that when they are dealing with a private property owner, they will be able to track down the owner at a later stage, should it be necessary.

No matter how one looks at it, the extreme majority of website owners advertising world cup accommodation can be trusted and can be relied upon to deliver the goods. You just need to make sure that you find the right ones.

The average honest South African property owner that would like to make world cup accommodation available to fans, would like their guests to have an unforgettable experience.

Unfortunately, as covered in the media, there are fraudsters out there using fake websites to advertise 2010 Accommodation.

South Africa is a land of diversity and variety, making it one of the most strange and bizarre countries to visit. Just like the land and its citizens it too offers an extremely varied range of accommodation options, catering for a diverse spectrum of travelers, and everyone from businessmen, backpackers, families, adventure-chasers and luxury-seekers, will find a place to suit their lifestyle. Accommodation ranges from some of the finest world renowned five star hotels in South Africa’s metropolitan areas to bed and breakfasts in the heartland of rural South Africa. Luxury game lodges and reserves are plentiful throughout the land, accommodating the adventure seeker looking to take in the wild and rustic beauty of the African savannah. Guest houses and bed and breakfasts offer tourists that home away from home hospitality, where plenty of private homes throughout South Africa offering cheap and convenient lodging in all the major tourism centres, and surprisingly even off the beaten track you’re bound to come across a bed and breakfast offering you the same level of service as their more frequented counterparts. For travellers wanting to meet and spend time with local people, this is by far the best way to do so, with your hosts literally sharing their houses with you, therefore providing a keener sense of welcome than would a huge multistoreyed luxurious hotel – nothing like a home cooked meal and a friendly smile to greet you after a long day’s worth of sightseeing…

Guest Houses

A guest house is either a converted house or manor adapted to take in overnight visitors or it may be a purpose built facility. These establishments are normally run as commercial operations and are sometimes owner-managed. Guest houses contain areas which are for the exclusive use of the guest with the owner either living off-site, or in a separate area of the property. This type of 2010 soccer world cup accommodation remains, like its Bed and Breakfast counterpart, a very popular choice for both local and international tourists.
