There is still time to go on vacation before the end of summer, but it can be difficult to find an affordable hotel with the right number of beds. Many services will make your last-minute search easier.

These websites will help you book rooms in any country. The selection was published by The Manual.

1. Expedia

Expedia is one of the most famous services when it comes to travel booking. It offers airline reservations, car rentals, cruise ships and travel packages in addition to hotel reservations. If you're looking for a last-minute hotel deal this summer, you can find it right on the homepage of the Expedia website. Expedia also has a mobile app for iOS and Android that makes finding a hotel discount simple and convenient.

2. Priceline

This is another online travel agency that helps you find discounts on a range of travel-related bookings. Hotel accommodations are at the top of their offerings. This can come in handy for last-minute bookings.

3. HotelTonight

HotelTonight may be one of the best options on this list because it is designed specifically for travelers looking for last-minute hotel deals. It allowed same-day bookings only when it was launched, but today you can use it to book a hotel up to seven days in advance.

4. Tripadvisor

A good place to start your search. It also has an app available in the Apple App Store and Google Play.

5. Booking.com

6. Travelocity

Travelocity can be useful not only for booking a hotel at the last minute but also if you don't know exactly where you want to go. It has many offers and tools for planning your trip.

7. Hotwire

Hotwire is another travel website that offers airline tickets, car rentals and vacation packages along with hotel reservations. It works by selling unsold travel deals at discounted prices.

8. Kayak

Kayak is a booking service that has been around since 2004. Kayak is similar to Tripadvisor as it offers a targeted search as well.

9. Momondo

Momondo is a service that can be compared to both Kayak and Tripadvisor as its main function is to collect the most affordable prices among hotel booking services.

10. Hotels.com
