If you're coming home this December, one thing is certain: Detty December is not for the weak, and neither is choosing where to stay.
Between family visits, weddings, concerts, beach days, and the inevitable last-minute hangouts, your accommodation can make or break your entire Nigerian December experience. And letââ¬â¢s be honest, nothing ruins vibes faster than getting stuck in a place that looked premium in pictures but turns out to be...ot quite it.
So how do you find the perfect stay that's safe, clean, close to the action, and still gives you that "I deserve a soft life" feeling?
Here is the stress-free guide you've been looking for.
Start by Knowing Your December Personality
Everyone has a December personality. Which one are you?
- The Homebody With Sense: You mainly want comfort, AC that actually works, stable light, and fast WiFi for your remote work (or Netflix marathons).
- The Party Butterfly: Close to clubs, lounges, and the friend who always says "Pull up!" at midnight.
- The Family-Friendly Traveller: You want something cosy, secure, and close to your aunties, but not too close.
- The Traveller-on-Budget: You want something nice, affordable, and not scammy.
Knowing your style makes the search easier and reduces the temptation to book the wrong place just because the price was sweet.
Location Will Make or Break Your Experience
December in Lagos, Abuja, PH, or Asaba is wild.
Traffic? Mad.
Events? Unlimited.
Time? Never enough.
So pick a location that matches your lifestyle:
- Want nightlife? Look at Victoria Island, Lekki Phase 1, Wuse 2, GRA areas.
- Need peace and sanity? Go for Ajah, Yaba, Gwarinpa, or Chikakore.
- Want quick access to family gatherings? Search within their axis, but still get your space.
Good news? On CribsFinder, you can filter stays by exact locations and compare options easily so you don't end up in one place that's far from everywhere you need to be.
Check Reviews Like Your Peace Depends on It (Because It Does)
This is not the time to guess. A beautifully filtered picture can lie, but reviews don't. Things to look out for:
- Cleanliness
- Noise levels
- Security
- Power supply
- Host responsiveness
- Actual amenities vs promised amenities
That's why CribsFinder only lists verified hotels, shortlets, and rentals. No surprises. No stories that touch. No "that's how the owner said" drama.
Comfort and Amenities Matter More Than You Think
You don't want to be fighting for AC, hot water, or WiFi in December; it's too hot, too busy, and too stressful for that.
Make sure your stay offers:
- Good AC (non-negotiable)
- Steady power
- Functional kitchen (if you plan to cook)
- Parking space
- Fast WiFi
- Clean bathroom (yes, check!)
With CribsFinder, all listings show clear, verified details so you'll know exactly what you're getting before you book.
Book Early, December Doesn't Wait for Anybody
This is the season where everyone is coming home. If you think youââ¬â¢re early, someone already booked the place yesterday.
Booking early saves you:
- Higher December prices
- Limited options
- Last-minute panic
- Staying with relatives who will send you on errands
CribsFinder makes early booking easy with hundreds of verified stays, transparent pricing, and instant confirmation.
Avoid Social Media Plug Stress
Let's be honest, DM-to-book rarely ends well.
You'll hear:
- "I'll get back to you"
- "Price has changed"
- "Pictures coming soon"
- Or worst of all, silence
Instead of risking scams or disappointment, CribsFinder gives you a central, secure, trusted platform where you can browse real listings, compare prices, and book instantly.
Choose a Stay That Matches Your December Plans
If you plan to attend concerts, parties, or weddings every weekend, pick a place close to the action. If your mission is rest, pick somewhere quieter. If you're coming with family or a partner, a spacious shortlet might be better than a hotel room.
CribsFinder helps you filter stays by:
- Budget
- Amenities
- Type (hotel, shortlet, rental)
- Location
- Number of guests
So you can find a place that fits your December vibe perfectly.
