Now you can bid for your own price and negotiate bargains directly with the hotel for your vacationstay at RoomAuction.com. The site benefits travellers and hoteliers as it allows hoteliers to sell off rooms that would otherwise be unoccupied while travellers get to enjoy a good deal.
And it is easy to use with three simple steps:
- Choose your hotel using the search engine online
- Bid for the best price at the hotel’s listing – Most accepted offers are in the range of 20 to 30% off. You get a better deal with shorter notice. If you include Sunday in your stay, you get a bargain and you increase the chances of your rate acceptance by dining at the hotel
- Wait for the hotel to reply and book your stay
The site offers hotels mainly in UK and also seemingly limited countries. Asia Pacific hotels are limited to Vietnam, Nepal, Thailand, Malaysia, India and Cambodia.
RoomAuction.com is a company of former hoteliers and travel enthusiasts based in Newent, Gloucestershire with offices in Gdańsk, Poland. It has been established since 2003 and has generated booking offers of over £2.5 million. RoomAuction.com was also recently named as the 4th Best Travel Website by TimesOnline.com
Priceline.com also offers a hotel bidding system but does not let you know which hotel you are bidding for except the hotel’s star rating, location area and previous successful bid. Sometimes, the hotel you are booked in could be a Resort, which will meet or exceed the minimum qualifications of the star level you initially requested. The hotel that is selected may or may not be one that you have seen during a hotel search on Priceline as well. We understand that Priceline.com is stronger for hotels in the U.S..
