trivago review

trivago does one thing: it compares hotel prices. One search covers over 5 million properties in more than 190 countries and pulls rates from major booking sites, which trivago names as including Expedia, Hotels.com, Booking.com, Trip.com, Priceline, Orbitz and HotelTonight. That makes it a quick way to spot when one site is charging less for the same room. The app adds price drop alerts on favorite hotels, side by side comparison of saved properties, guest reviews aggregated from multiple booking sites and a mobile rate badge on deals only available on your phone. Because it is a comparison site, you always finish the booking with the partner you pick, so cancellation rules, refunds and loyalty points come from that partner, not trivago. It also has no flights or cars, which keeps it simple but means less use for whole trips. Use it next to Google Hotels to confirm you have found the lowest total price.
