2. Hotels.com: Hotel Booking Site Runner-Up
Hotels.com doesn’t have as many listings as Booking.com, but the options are still significant: they have over 300,000 properties in over 19,000 places worldwide. Like Booking.com, they don’t just sell cheap hotel rooms—you’ll find everything here from luxury hotels to hostel dorms to condo hotels.
Hotels.com really shines when it comes to their multi-level rewards program. At their lowest tier, you can unlock secret prices and you’ll earn a free night’s stay with every 10 nights you book. The there’s also Hotel.com Rewards Silver and Gold—once you’ve booked 30 nights, you’ll get free room upgrades and guaranteed late check-out or early check-in at certain properties.
Best of all, you don’t have to pay to play. You simply book accommodations and climb your way up the rewards ladder.
I highly recommend using their app. Hotels.com often features last-minute discounts with up to 40% off hotel bookings when you’re looking for a same-day check in via their app. It’s friendly to use, and worth your time to find a cheap hotel deal.
