# Need to book accommodation in advance or wing it? Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Fiji
cassiec 01:34 UTC 30 May 2011 | Hey guys.. Just another quick question... I'm now thinking do you need to book accommodation in advance or can I book it the night before? How busy is it in July around the different islands? Can I get away with not prebooking my stay if I wish to stay in dorm rooms? Cheers & thanks again Cass |
thurstonhowell4th 02:36 UTC 30 May 2011 | hi, booking gets you a bed as July does get busy and dorm places other than Beachcomber aren't big. If you are there and want to stay longer you stand a chance of being able to just stay unless they have other bookings and so you would need to go. booking direct without paying without paying is sometimes possible | 1
