Hotel.info is a hotel booking site that, by its own description, lists more than 300,000 hotels worldwide and is run by HRS. It suits people who like to compare hotels carefully and read what other guests say, especially for city trips in Europe.
What you can book
The focus is hotels, guesthouses and other accommodation in many countries. You can filter by price, rating and amenities. The site mentions more than two million guest ratings to help you choose. There are also apps for iOS and Android and a customer service said to be available around the clock.
What the booking really costs
The price in the results list is only the starting point. Depending on country and city, hotels often add taxes, tourist tax or local fees, and sometimes charges for breakfast or parking. Whether these are already included is shown on the last step before you pay. Read that breakdown closely and compare the total amount rather than the nightly rate. For tourist tax, check the hotel description, because in some places it is only collected at the property.
Cancellation and payment
Which rates can be cancelled for free depends on the individual offer. Check the cancellation terms before you book, and note the deadline up to which you can cancel at no cost. Payment options are listed in your account and in the booking flow. Pay attention to whether you pay right away or at the hotel, as that changes how flexible you stay.
How to save
Hotel.info advertises daily deals and a membership that, according to the provider, can bring savings of up to 50 percent. For members it also lists automatic rebooking when the price drops, and loyalty points. There is also a price guarantee with a money-back promise. The exact conditions are set out by the provider, so read them before you rely on them.
Cashback comes on top. Three things matter: start the hotel search from daily cashback, turn off your ad blocker beforehand, and finish the reservation without switching devices. If you jump from phone to laptop halfway, the booking may not be tracked.
Tips
- Compare the total price including all charges, not the price per night.
- If your plans are uncertain, pick a rate with free cancellation and write down the deadline.
- Read the newest reviews first, because hotels change over time.
- Keep the confirmation and reservation number, you will need them at check-in.
How to go about the booking
- Fix your destination, dates and number of guests and start the search from the daily cashback shop page.
- Do not sort by price alone. Combine filters for rating, location and amenities so the results match what you actually need.
- Open the offers that come into question and compare the rates within each hotel: breakfast, cancellation and payment timing often differ from rate to rate.
- On the last step, read the price breakdown and note the total amount.
- Keep the confirmation and check that name and travel dates are correct.
A cheap rate with no cancellation option is only a bargain if your plans are fixed. For business trips or trips with many unknowns, a slightly pricier flexible rate is often the better choice, because a lost booking quickly costs more than the difference.
Avoiding typical mistakes
Most annoyances do not come from the provider but from rushing. Many people book on their phone between two appointments and only later notice that a date or name is wrong. Take two minutes for the last step and read everything once more. Also never compare apples with oranges: two offers are only comparable when they include the same services. And for the cashback: if you open a second tab mid-booking, switch to another device or enter an outside coupon code, you put the credit at risk. Stick to one flow from start to finish.
Booking with cashback
The cashback runs through daily cashback. Open the daily cashback shop page for Hotel.info first: Hotel.info at daily cashback. From there you continue to the provider and book as usual. The credit arrives once the booking is confirmed and the trip is completed. You can see the current rate on our provider page: Hotel.info on TripPrice.
