Before you book: look beyond the discount.

Travel dates, cancellation rules and booking conditions deserve a second look.

Match your dates to the offer

Booking windows and travel windows are different. Check both, together with any excluded dates, destinations or properties.

Compare like for like

Compare the same room, guests, baggage and included services. Check taxes and other charges shown before payment.

Read the cancellation terms

A flexible reservation may suit your plans better than a lower non-refundable price. Read the booking conditions before deciding.

Check how a discount is calculated

A percentage discount may apply only to the room charge, not taxes or other fees, and may have a maximum saving. Compare the total shown for the same itinerary. For example, a 10% offer capped at $30 saves at most $30 on an eligible $500 booking, not $50. This example illustrates a cap and is not a current promotion.

Review changes as well as cancellations

Changing a date, guest or room type can affect the price or invalidate an offer. Read who handles changes—the booking platform or the accommodation provider—and check the confirmation after any amendment. If plans are uncertain, compare the cost of flexibility before choosing a non-refundable booking.
