Identical to Booking — 0.3% apart, measured
Point-in-time measurements from our published studies, not a standing price promise — the live price for your dates is always shown before you book.
Wholesale rates, retail honesty
We sell from the same wholesale channels the big platforms buy from — without the big-platform markup on top.
No loyalty theater
We measured Booking's Genius program: the member price equalled the public price on 96% of stays. Here there are no badges — just the rate.
Research you can audit
Every comparison we publish names the hotels, the dates and the numbers. If the data changes, the journal says so.
