"Hi i think this guest hose should have a 1 or 2 star rating. The reason is the hand was torn and the towels where hard. There was no water in the morning to shower. The chair in the room when you sit on it you sink into it."

Expedia has teamed up with online lender Klarna to make booking your next break easier on your wallet. Paying in instalments means you can spread the costs of your next big adventure, leaving you with more money to spend while you're travelling. Klarna has several payment plans to choose from, so you're sure to find something that works with your budget. Consider these flexible payment options:

  • Pay monthly holidays: Make your holiday dreams a reality sooner with Klarna's easy monthly instalment plans. If paying just a little each month sounds right for you, pick this option at checkout.
  • Pay in instalments holidays: With this Book Now, Pay Later option, Klarna allows you to pay for your trip over multiple transactions.
  • Low deposit holidays: If paying a small percentage of your getaway (rather than the total upfront) makes it easier to click that "book now" button, consider a low deposit holiday payment plan from Klarna.
