The accommodation listed is what I call on my own website : "Accommodation not in guidebook". Of course if it was in the guidebook there would be no point in listing it. In light of budget accommodation being rare in southern Cyprus it's important to share this info. I understand the hitchwiki policy on not being comprehensive on BUDGET accommodation, but I will retrieve the info from past edits and post it in couchwiki. The thing is my own policy is that all the information for Backpackers should be in one place so I will change around I will stop putting updates first into Hitchwiki and rather put them on Couchwiki. My attempt is not to list all accommodation, but rather list accommodation for hitch-hikers & backpackers when it is difficult for them to find it , as guidebooks like Lonely Planet are now focussed on more expensive options.
Coincidentally I got an email from them thanking me for the info, right at the same time as yours arrived.[[User:Stewgreen|Stewgreen]] ([[User talk:Stewgreen|talk]])
 
''There's no need to keep all information in just one place. Hitchwiki has always tried to support the ecosystem of libre wiki projects when it comes to budget travel information beyond hitchhiking.For example, many Hitchwiki articles link to Trashwiki for dumpster-diving tips. Wikivoyage is the major community-driven project for tourism info, so by adding your accommodation listings there would help the project out, and the Hitchwiki article could link to the corresponding Wikivoyage article. "
 
I already linked to that article. However it's accommodation info is useless and the page confusing in general. If there was a good wiki for budget accommodation I would link to that, but there isn't.
 
you say ''There's no need to keep all information in just one place."
<br>I say , it would be great if all the info for basic budget travel could be found in one place.
- There is a need for basic travel information like the way Lonely Planet used to be when it was subtitled on a shoestring. Wikivoyage is not that. It seems to me that Hitchwiki should take on that role rather just be a specialist STRICTLY hitch info site .. already most of the info on the wiki is not to do with hitching and can be found elsewhere
There is no point in me putting my hot accommodation tips on Wikivoyage, cos it is not focussed on budget travel.
.. It would be great if you could tell me where the page is which states Hitchwikis policy on listing accommodation [[User:Stewgreen|Stewgreen]] ([[User talk:Stewgreen|talk]]) 12:58, 16 April 2013 (CEST)
