Frequently asked questions

How much does a budget hotel in Sumburgh cost?
Budget hotel prices in Sumburgh vary, but you can find a great deal on Expedia. To find the cheapest budget hotels, be flexible with your dates—typically, off-peak and mid-week stays are cheaper. Stretch your budget further by looking for hotels with free breakfast, free parking or free airport shuttles. Sort your search results by "Price: low to high" to see our lowest rates.
When is the most affordable time to visit Sumburgh?
The most affordable time to visit Sumburgh is generally during the shoulder seasons, specifically late spring (May to early June) and early autumn (September to October). During these periods, you can often find lower prices for flights and accommodation compared to the peak summer months.

Solo travellers will find these times particularly appealing as the crowds are smaller, making it easier to secure budget-friendly rooms and experience the natural beauty of the Shetland Islands without the summer rush. The weather during the shoulder seasons can also be quite pleasant, with longer daylight hours in late spring and beautiful autumnal colours in September and October, ideal for exploring the Sumburgh Head Lighthouse and RSPB nature reserve, which offers free entry to its outdoor areas.

While winter (November to April) might see even lower prices, the shorter daylight hours and potentially harsher weather conditions could limit outdoor activities, making it less ideal for budget-conscious travellers looking to maximise their experience.

What free activities should we do in Sumburgh?
For budget-conscious solo travellers visiting Sumburgh, Scotland, there's a wealth of free activities centred around its dramatic natural beauty and rich history. Exploring the island's stunning landscapes and archaeological sites won't cost you a penny, offering a truly immersive experience.

One of the most captivating free activities is a visit to Sumburgh Head, a magnificent cliff-top nature reserve. Here, you can witness thousands of seabirds, including puffins (especially from April to August), gannets, and guillemots, nesting on the cliffs. The views across the turbulent seascape are breathtaking, and there are well-maintained paths superb for a solo stroll, offering plenty of opportunities for birdwatching and photography.

Another remarkable free experience is exploring the Jarlshof Prehistoric and Norse Settlement. Although the visitor centre usually has an entrance fee, you can walk around the perimeter of this incredible site, which reveals over 4,000 years of human history, from Stone Age houses to Norse longhouses. It's a fascinating glimpse into the past, set against a stunning coastal backdrop, and provides ample space for quiet contemplation.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a hotel in Sumburgh as a package?
Booking a hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking well in advance. However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options. With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.
Can I cancel my budget hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right budget hotel in Sumburgh for you.
