News which said: "Hoteliers prefer price and profitability Booking.com" To us it has attracted attention.

We want to know if we also get more profitable for one night in a hotel in booking  or in Expedia, and we've found!

Do you want an unforgettable night with your partner and SEA FRONTLINE? Here is the best choice!

In Subur Sitges hotel we found a double room for Valentine dates.

On booking we get the room for 129 € and expedia we get for 54 €. This means that we would have more profitably by expedia. But thanks to the offers that they would offer us the room at one of these two pages costs 44.26€.

Booking has a condition that says: "How? 'Another website offers a lower price? Match it ". This is granted if the reservation is the same with the same conditions. We believe that booking has reduced the price by this condition.

                      

The negotiations with hoteliers

Hoteliers complain that the fee charged by Expedia (25%) is "very high" and notes that this is the factor leading hoteliers to opt for other agencies as Booking online, which charges between 15% and 17%, which means more profit for the business.

 

                        VS.

 Moreover, they prefer the method of payment of Booking because the customer pays directly at the hotel and should not wait 60 days to receive the money. "At Expedia are good payers, but not without money themselves rather than the hotel"

Another factor is that Booking is well positioned in the European market and especially in the very short term sales while Expedia works great in selling to within 40-45 days in advance but at the last minute lost force.
