Smart shopping and hotel comparison essentials: our FAQs
How can I easily compare hotels online
It’s not always clear how to compare hotels, but we make it easy for you: after searching for your destination and dates, you’ll be presented with a list of hotels. Select the compare tick box located under each hotel’s rates, then tap the Compare button at the bottom of your screen, and you’ll be taken to our side-by-side hotel comparison tool. From there, you can view more details of the hotels you’re interested in or heart them as one of your shortlisted hotels so you can view them again later.
What can I compare with the hotel comparison tool?
Within the tool, you can compare your potential hotels’ price, star rating, average review score, refundability policy and key hotel amenities.
Does the Smart Shopping comparison tool compare hotel prices?
Yes, our Smart Shopping tools draw on our vast inventory to help you find and compare hotels online, so you get the right hotel for your trip. Our property comparison tool shows you prices side by side, so you know how each hotel measures up and what’s included in the price.
How can I find the best hotel room for my trip?
Once you’ve selected your preferred hotel, scroll down to the rooms section and look out for the green banner that uses machine learning technology to suggest the room that’s best for you. From there, you can select the extras that you want for your stay and proceed to reserve the room.
How many properties can I compare?
In our Smart Shopping hotel comparison tool, you can compare up to five properties at once. Once you reach the limit, just remove a property that no longer fits your needs so you can add new properties to compare. Or use filters such as budget or average rating to narrow your results from the beginning.
What price is shown in the hotel comparison tool?
The nightly price displayed on the search results page, including taxes and fees, is shown within the tool so you can compare the hotel at the top of your list with the final prices of other properties. This price reflects the total cost of the least expensive room available at the hotel.
How do the personalized room recommendations work?
Our personalized room recommendations are powered by AI and utilize over 40 factors, such as who is travelling, where they are going and how long they are staying, to suggest the best room type. These tailored selections help make us more than just a hotel site that compares prices.
