Our hotel reviews differ from other websites in 4 ways:
We accept reviews only from people who prove that they actually stayed at the hotel they've reviewed. Many other travel websites accept reviews from anyone who can type.
Our editors carefully summarize guests' comment so you can read only 2 or 3 lines instead of 10 or 20.
We show only a hotel's most recent reviews. This also saves you time and lets you focus on recent guest experiences.
We display reviews for hotels located in the same city or area on one page. This enables you to scan all the reviews and quickly identify the hotels that will most likely meet your needs.
Using HotelGuides was easy, and the price was less than the hotel offered.
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot – because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
