I really like Trivago, it works like a meta search for hotels. You just need to enter your desired location or hotel, select dates and filter for your preference and you get a bunch of results from various booking sites. It's very intuitive to use and page loading times are really fast in my opinion, I use the page frequently to check for hotels.
I entered the dated we wished to travel some great offers appeared when we clicked on review the offer the prices had doubled & a message came up stating the dates requested may increase the room rates & suggested we may want to consider being flexible with the date
Will not use this site again
Total scam! I saw the commercial for this website while I was planning a trip and thought I would give it a chance. I tried booking a room in Las Vegas and put in all my information and the page to authorize my payment never loaded. I waited and waited and nothing happened. I emailed them telling them about the situation and have yet to receive a rely. They sent me an email saying I need to Send credit card info so they can secure in and to call some strange number. I'm very disappointed and will NEVER use this site again. My bank emailed me saying a this is a possible fraud and to call them immediately. Goes to show what kind of website it is. I pray they don't screw me over.
I recently saw the trivago commercial on TV and thought I would give this site a go as I was about to start planning our annual ski vacation. I'm planning this trip every year now for years and wow it did go way faster this time! I'll definitely keep trivago in mind for next year's trip and make sure to tell my friends about it.
I was looking for accommodations NOT in a city and the site doesn't even have the hotels listed. I looked for hotels in a particular town north of Dallas, TX and the site said there either is no such town or they have no hotels. Mind you, Kayak found several with prices, pictures and costs. This site may work for immediate metro areas but if you want to stay anyplace else, use someone else!
I booked a hotel through Trivago in June and was referred to the Clever-hotels website (run by Nalvear GmBH in Hamburg Germany). We received an email on Friday to say that the company had gone into insolvency and the booking has been cancelled. Now, we assumed this was bad luck-bad news but these things happen... that is until we searched online for this company and discovered that people have been having problems with this company since 2012 and had been complaining to Trivago about it for months PRIOR to us booking our hotel (that will teach me for trusting Trivago and not doing my own research on the hotel-lesson learnt on my part!). It seems that clever-hotels was trading under another name which then went into insolvency, then changed to Navlear-GmBH-which has now gone into insolvency-how long until they change their name again and Trivago allows us to book a hotel with these scam-artists?
I realise that Trivago cannot be held responsible for every travel company that goes bust, but I do believe they have a responsibility to act upon information suggesting that a website they are advertising is a scam and remove that website from theirs otherwise they are as guilty in the scam-I bet their commission was still paid while all of the customers hotel rooms have not been!
This site is great! Trivago has focused on comparing hotels with each other in numerous perspectives. Before submitting your search you may filter for: price, hotel rating, number of stars, the distance to either the city center or other important sites, type of lodging, hotel facilities... also you may search for a specific hotel to find the cheapest price for that exact hotel. After setting the filters to your liking trivago will provide you with a list of suitable hotels which may be ordered by popularity, rating, price or distance. So again you choose to prioritize exactly what is most important to you. Overall I think it is a very carefully planned and user friendly service that I would like to recommend to others who like to take care of their travelling arrangements online.
I have no time to go through hotel offers in different booking sites that is why I love trivago. It covers most of the websites. You see all hotel booking sites offers and when you click the symbol of the offer you want they direct you to their webpage.
I use trivago for all my business trips because I want to make sure the hotel I choose has everything I need (internet, workspace, close to the location of my conference, etc.) I also often like to bring my small Cairn Terrier with me if the trip is not too far from home! Instead of looking at each hotel's website to make sure they meet all my needs, trivago does it for me. It has many different filters that really help you to narrow down the lists of available hotels and helps you find the best fit for your trip.
I used Trivago to search for a good hotel deal in Chicago. The site was really easy to use and I was able to save quite a bit of money.
Also there are a bunch of filters that you can use to find what you are looking for, such as by price, distance to certain areas, and star rating.
I would highly recommend Trivago to people looking for a hotel
A very useful site to find information about travel destinations as well as photos and reviews from travelers who have been there. The hotel metasearch compares prices from major online booking agencies which makes finding the cheapest rate in real-time a breeze.
Answer: The bottom line is good luck with that. Nobody cares and they may email you back but nothing will happen and i guarantee if you gave someone money for a service it is gone forever. There are so many rip off sites related to Trivago it is unreal.
Answer: Dear Michelle, Thank you for your message and I would be happy to help. Depending on the booking site you choose to make your reservation with (ex. Expedia, booking.com, Agoda etc.) you may be required to prepay for the booking in full, an authorization (hold) on your credit card may be placed, or you may have to simply pay upon check out at the hotel. I would suggest reading the policy of the particular booking site you use, to see how their payment process works. As trivago is a hotel meta-search, meaning users can search and compare different hotels and prices on our site, we pull information from multiple OTAs (online travel agencies such as Expedia or Booking.com) and display the prices together. However, once a user clicks through to book a room, they are directed to the appropriate booking site which provides that price to complete reservation and payment details. Trivago doesn't actually have any involvement in the making of the booking. Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance. Kind regards, James Morrison Trivago user support.
