If you aren't sure where to book the hotel for your next vacation, Trivago can be a great place to start. It's free to use and you'll be able to quickly see prices for your chosen hotel on many different websites all at once so you can make an informed decision.

The best day of the week to book your hotel at the lowest rate is Saturday for domestic travel and Friday for international travel, according to travel aggregator Kayak, which analyzed hotel searches conducted between January 1 and September 8, 2021 (the most recent such study conducted by Kayak).

One downside of Trivago is that they don't offer a rewards program like Priceline, Expedia, or Hotels.com that allow you to earn points for each purchase that can be redeemed for reward travel.

The ACCC claimed Trivago failed to properly disclose its operating model and used misleading "strike-through" price comparisons that compared a more expensive luxury room with a standard room. In April 2022, the Federal Court fined Trivago AUD44.7 million, plus legal costs for misleading consumers.

What is the best website to book cheap hotels? ›

To cancel or change your reservation, please contact the booking site directly. You can find the booking site's contact details in your confirmation email. If you can't find your booking confirmation, we recommend checking your spam folder first.

Our algorithm takes into account a number of relevant factors, such as your search criteria (for example your location and stay dates), the offer's price, its general attractiveness and the accuracy of the rates provided to us by the booking sites.

Part of the reason for the low share price, particularly in the last few weeks, is a large amount of insider selling. Matthias Tillmann, CFO since 2020, has been selling blocks of shares on the open market throughout the last half of May.

“It all comes down to supply and demand,” says Colleen Carswell, former hotel director of sales turned hotel solutions strategist. “Most of the time, you'll actually save much more by booking at the last minute.” Hotels need rooms filled in order to make money.

The closer the hotel is to being filled, the higher the rate they'll charge. The flip side of the coin is that if bookings are slower than usual they'll drop rates. If you want to take your chances and wait, hoping for a price drop, you could find you have to pay a very high rate or can't get a room at all.
