How to enable price comparison with OTA's?

What is it?

It is an instant comparison of direct rates registered in your booking engine with the rates registered in OTA's such as Booking.com, Expedia and Hotels.com.🤩

How does the price comparison work?

Our rate comparison tool utilizes your registration on Trivago to compare the direct booking rates of your hotel with other OTAs listed on the website.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________🔍Note: Nowadays we can compare the information withe the following OTAS on the Trivago:

• Booking
• Hoteis.com
• Expedia
• Destinia
• Hostelworld
• ZenHotels.com
• PriceTravel
• Despegar (Decolar)
• MaxMillhas
• Trip.com
• Hurb

If you have any other OTA, different from the above on your Trivago profile, the comparison message won't be sent, since our bot doesn't allow other options. Contact our support to suggest new integrations

When finalizing a quote, our robot will search and compare your direct rate with your hotel rates on Trivago using the same information requested by the user in the chat such as check-in, check-out dates and number of adults and children.

When the rate on your booking engine is LOWER than the value of OTA's at Trivago, we will present this difference to the traveler and reinforce the incentive for direct reservations!

Here's an example:
