The advent of vacation rentals in Pakistan

With the recent developments of vacation rentals, one has the choice to choose between hotels, hostels and rentals in Pakistan now. The decision of where to stay is imperative for travelers, whether their stay is a short one or a long one. Of course, it will vary from person to person. 
Hotels offer a bunch of services to its customers at a set price, usually towards the higher end. They have a round the clock staff, working to assist you in any way possible, whether it be at 7am in the morning or at 2am at night. They are trained to manage any and all customer queries throughout their stay. Hotels also have some form of a restaurant which offer free breakfast to all the visitors, a coffee shop, or a gift store onsite. These are added amenities which are extremely beneficial for the customers but again, at higher prices. 
Vacationers who prefer a lavish stay and do not mind the expenses often opt for this mode of accommodation. However, hotels only tend to provide indoor activities which do not extend towards the locality and if guests are looking for that, they will only be disappointed.
Moving on, hostels are towards the lower end of the list of accommodations. These are more suitable for people who are living on a tight budget and are trying to experience the backpacking way of traveling. These places usually have one or two bedrooms which are meant to be shared with multiple people. What is more is that, since several people are sharing a room, safety is not as guaranteed as it is in hotels. Unless, you specifically mention that you need a private room. 
Furthermore, t
here will usually be one or two staff members to help, but they often act more as a manager than a concierge. More often than not, there is also a common area, though this depends from hostel to hostel. And since the facilities are bare minimum relative to a hotel, the prices will also be drastically lower.
Last but not least, an Airbnb or a vacation rental fills the gap between a hostel and a hotel. Travelers can rent out basic rooms, apartments or even full idle properties during their stay, all at an affordable rate, which will be between a hotel and a hostel. The owner will often meet you and cater to your needs, fulfilling their role as a host. The amenities can vary from Airbnb to Airbnb as can other services such as complimentary breakfast and thorough engagement between the guests and the locality.
So are you looking for a vacation rental this time around? Ghumo.pk has taken it upon its self to be the connecting force between the travelers and mezbans (hosts) so head over to confirm your bookings now!

Travel with Trust

It’s not a secret that when you decide to stay in someone’s home for a certain amount of time, you need to develop a trustworthy relationship. You need to trust that their care-taking skills are only to provide you with the best comfort and they are sincere when they open up their arms to invite you in and not because they have to. It takes compromise on your part as well, giving up all the services a hotel would provide including security and 24/7 room service when you take the initiative to remain in someone’s home, someone being a complete stranger. And there can certainly be no room for pride in this situation and that too, on either side. Deciding to live in someone else’s space for the nonce can be challenging on so many levels. It might feel as though you are invading their personal space, it may feel as though you are taking more space than you initially planned, it maybe that you feel as though you have outstayed your welcome. There are hundreds of endless possibili

Visit Lahore’s Historical sites with Ghumo

Lahore’s architecture is one of the best in Pakistan. The buildings, the forts and the mosques are from times as old as the Mughal era. Lahoris have managed to preserve their architectural history over the centuries and till date, people still visit these monuments. When you book with Ghumo and decide to reside with a mezban, it will surely benefit you when they decide to share their own knowledge and information with you regarding their area and city. You cannot get this sort of insight anywhere else, it is only the mezbans who can give you in depth knowledge about their city including all the historical sites.  One of the best is the Lahore Fort. To this date, schools still take their students to this exceptional fort where the Mughals once resided. The people of Lahore occasionally take a little trip here from time to time as well because one simply cannot get enough of the beauty this fort holds. And for those who are visiting from other cities, it is a must for th
