Why HotelCompare
We do one thing: put four booking sites next to each other so you can see where a hotel is cheaper.
The same room is rarely the same price everywhere. Spreads of 5–20% between booking sites are common, and the cheapest site changes from hotel to hotel. We put the prices next to each other so the gap is visible before you book.
For every hotel we show an indicative price from Booking.com, Trip.com, Agoda and Expedia and link you to that exact hotel on each one. Confirm the live rate for your dates there, then book on the site you prefer.
You never pay us anything — no fees, no account, no paywall. We earn a commission from the booking site when you book, and it never changes the price you pay or which price we highlight as cheapest.
How it works
We don't sell rooms. We show you what each booking site charges for the same one, then step aside.
Enter a destination and dates, or browse the deals below. One search is all it takes.
We check Booking.com, Trip.com, Agoda and Expedia for the same hotel and show every price side by side.
You book directly on the partner site at the price we found. Your reservation, payment and support stay with them.
If you book through our links we may earn a commission from the partner, at no extra cost to you. It never changes the prices or the order you see.
Transparency.HotelCompare is an independent comparison site. Prices are the partners' own rates at the time we checked them — always confirm the final total, including taxes and fees, on the booking site before you pay.
From the blog
The same room, four booking sites, four different prices. Here is where those gaps come from, what a comparison site can and cannot see, and how to check you are really getting the lowest total.

We keep a curated list of around 200 hotels in ten destinations. For each one we show an indicative price from Booking.com, Trip.com, Agoda and Expedia side by side, highlight the lowest, and link you to that exact hotel on each site. Instead of opening four tabs and hunting for the same property, you see how the sites compare in one place, then click through to the one you want and book there.
Yes. There is no account, no subscription and no booking fee. We earn an affiliate commission from the booking site if you complete a reservation after clicking through from HotelCompare. That commission comes out of the site's own margin: you pay the same price you would pay if you had gone there directly.
No. The prices on our cards are indicative figures that we refresh periodically, not a live quote for your dates. They show how the four sites tend to compare for that hotel. The live price for your dates and room is always on the booking site itself, which is why every card links straight to the hotel's page on each site so you can confirm before you book.
Purely on the numbers. For each hotel we highlight whichever of the indicative prices is lowest. Commission rates differ between partners, and we deliberately do not let that affect the highlight or the order. Because each site runs its own promotions and loyalty discounts, the cheapest one varies from hotel to hotel — sometimes Booking.com, sometimes Trip.com, Agoda or Expedia.
No. Every booking is made on the partner site — Booking.com, Trip.com, Agoda or Expedia. When you click a price, we send you to that hotel's page on the site you chose, and you pick your dates and room there. Payment, confirmation, changes and customer service are all handled by that site, so you also get its loyalty programme and its cancellation terms.
That depends on the hotel and the rate you choose. Where we know a hotel offers a free-cancellation option we show a 'Free cancellation' badge, but the exact terms for a specific rate are shown by the booking site before you confirm, and those are what apply. For changes or cancellations, contact the site you booked with — we do not hold your reservation.
Four sites: Booking.com, Trip.com, Agoda and Expedia. We do not cover every hotel they sell. We curate around 200 hotels across ten destinations — the Maldives, Tokyo, Paris, Dubai, Bali, Santorini, New York, London, Bangkok and Rome — and each one has been matched to its real listing on the partner sites before we link to it. Hotels cannot pay to be included. Where a hotel is not sold on one of the four sites, we leave that price out rather than show a wrong one.
For questions about HotelCompare, a price that looks wrong or a listing that needs fixing, email support@hotelcompare.com. For anything about an existing booking — payment, dates, cancellation — contact the site you booked with; they hold your reservation and can act on it directly.
