Frequently Asked Questions
Why book directly with a hotel chain instead of an OTA?
Booking directly with a hotel brand (like Marriott or Hilton) often grants you better customer service, easier changes/cancellations, and full eligibility for loyalty points and room upgrades. OTAs often have cheaper rates but strict change policies and no points earning.
Do OTAs charge hidden fees for hotels?
Reputable OTAs display all taxes and resort fees before you pay. However, some budget OTAs charge for customer service phone calls or impose strict cancellation penalties. Always review the final price breakdown and cancellation policy before entering your card details.
What is the difference between a Metasearch and an OTA?
An Online Travel Agency (OTA) like Expedia sells the hotel room directly to you and handles the transaction. A Metasearch engine like Trivago or Google Hotels simply compares prices across multiple OTAs and the hotel's direct site, then redirects you to the seller to complete the booking.
Are vacation rentals cheaper than hotels?
For longer stays or large groups, vacation rentals (like Airbnb or Vrbo) are often much cheaper than booking multiple hotel rooms. They also offer kitchens and living areas. However, hotels offer daily housekeeping, concierge services, and 24/7 front desk security that rentals lack.
