How we make money

We think you should know exactly how a free comparison site pays for itself. This page explains it in plain language, with nothing left out.

What this site is

Hotel Price is an independent hotel price comparison service. We show you where a stay can be booked and at what price, then send you to the partner to complete the booking.

We are not a travel agency. We take no bookings, no payments and no travel documents. We hold no inventory and we have no commercial relationship with the hotels themselves.

How we are paid

When you continue your search on a partner site — currently Booking.com and KAYAK — we may earn a commission on a completed stay, or a fee for the click that sent you there.

That is our only source of revenue. We charge you nothing, and no hotel pays us to appear.

Why this never changes your price

You book directly with the partner, at the partner's own price, with the partner's confirmation, payment and customer service. Our commission is paid by the partner out of its own margin. Nothing is added on top of what you would have paid going there directly.

How results are ordered

Ordering favours the lowest price for identical rooms and dates. Partner remuneration does not buy a better position, and no partner can pay to be ranked higher.

Where we are paid differently by two partners, we say so here rather than quietly reordering the list.

What we cannot promise

Prices and availability come from the partners and change constantly. We show what we were given at the moment of your search; the partner's own page is always the reference at the time of booking.

We do not claim to cover every booking site in existence, and we do not guarantee that no lower price exists anywhere.
