Season 8 of everyone’s favourite medieval fantasy arrived this week and as fans dissect Episode 1 and look for plot spoilers, we’re seeing more guests across the globe say they feel part of the show by staying in Homes on Airbnb.
Looking at guest reviews of Homes in off-the-beaten-path destinations iconic to the show from 2014 to 2018, we’ve seen a growing number of travellers note they feel they’re part of the action with Airbnb guest reviews mentioning the show up 550% in Morocco, 467% in Ireland, 406% in Croatia, 386% in Iceland and 218% in Spain.
No matter the king (or ahem queen) you’re pulling for, here are five Homes on Airbnb perfect for living like your favourite contender for the throne long after the season finale.
Croatia: Villa Mediterranean (https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/plus/8969008): Recognize King’s Landing? This villa is steps away from old town, where a certain queen once took a not-so-casual stroll.
Spain: Palatial Apartment (https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/plus/16865170): This studio in Spain will make you feel like Dornish royalty. Just keep an eye out for sand snakes.
Iceland: Sunny, Peaceful Chalet (https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/1209407): Iceland stands in for the land beyond the wall. Take in the view at this chalet, three-eyed raven style.
Morocco: Kasbah Tebi (https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/1953012): Look out for the mother of dragons in Morocco, the setting for The Yellow City of Yunkai.
Ireland: Drummond Tower (https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/6140840): Mull over your fan theories in this real life Irish castle. Pro tip: be wary of wedding invites.
