Choosing the accommodation for your holiday can be one of the most difficult parts of the planning process so it’s no wonder that thousands of travellers turn to Hotels.com to help them.

The website lists almost 300,000 properties in more than 200 countries, including hotels, vacation rentals, apartments, guest houses and resorts, and all are at very competitive prices.

Why choose Hotels.com?

  • Around 300,000 properties to choose from
  • Price Guarantee
  • Easy to use website
  • Handy app
  • Rewards program

In the UK and Europe there is a huge range of accommodation to choose from so there’s something to suit every budget.  Whether you prefer the homeliness of a B&B, the luxury of a high-end hotel, the space of a self-catering apartment or cottage, or something in between, you’re sure to find it on Hotels.com.

Some of my top accommodation picks in Europe and the United Kingdom include:

  • An apartment in a luxury Palazzo in Rome
  • A Country House in County Kerry
  • A castle stay in Amberley
  • A loft apartment in Paris
  • A luxury hotel with infinity pool overlooking Lake Lucerne

Booking online with Hotels.com

The Hotels.com website is really easy to use – simply type in your destination and the dates of your stay and all the available accommodation will be listed.  If you have a particular style of accommodation, or a certain star rating in mind, you can also make your search more specific by filtering from the options on the left hand side.

Many of the properties listed offer free cancellation up until the day prior to check in, so if plans change, you won’t be out of pocket.

There’s also a Hotels.com app which makes it easy to keep track of your bookings on the go.

Hotels.com Price Guarantee

Hotels.com’s Price Guarantee means you’ll never pay too much. Their prices are updated daily to ensure you’re getting the best deal but if you do happen to find a cheaper price for the same property, Hotels.com will offer you the difference.

The Price Guarantee is available right up until the day before you check in.


Black Friday savings with Hotels.com

In addition to the great rates that you always find on Hotels.com, they are offering savings of up to 50% and an additional 10% off during their 2018 Black Friday promotion*. Discounted rates will be shown when you enter your search criteria, then simply enter the code THANKS when booking to take advantage of the additional 10% saving.


Hotels.com Rewards program

Unlike other online booking sites, Hotels.com offers a rewards program to its customers.  For every 10 nights you book and stay through Hotels.com, you receive 1 night free. 

You can collect nights at over 297,000 properties around the world and redeem your free nights at over 213,000 properties.  And there are no blackout dates or restrictions.
