I've used many booking and price comparison websites and in my opinion Trivago is one of the best!
Is a cool website that can compared all the hotel pricing..
Hi.
Found much better deals. All day. This "Trivago is proven to skim off the top"
Dear Peter,
Thank you for taking time to leave a review and we appreciate this feedback. However, your above statement is false and could not be further from the truth.
Hotels distribute discounted rates to multiple booking sites such as Expedia, Booking.com, Agoda, etc. which are usually under the normal BAR or sell rate which can be booked directly at the hotel. What trivago does is simply displays them all together, in one place, for users to compare and choose from. Our main purpose is to help users find their ideal hotel, which is why we have several different filters to choose from in order to narrow down your search results to meet your specific travel needs.
We function as a portal for hotels to advertise themselves, as well as a meta-search for booking sites to display their rates and increase the traffic to their companies.
You are right, sometimes booking directly with the hotel can be cheaper if they are promoting special rates such as seniors discount, however, for the most part, their sell rates do not fluctuate as much as those which are sold through booking sites. Our main goal is to help people find that particular ideal hotel to fit their needs, then they can book it however they choose. We are also currently integrating Direct Connect, an option that you might find useful, which is a service where hotels can directly display their own rates on trivago and promote themselves this way.
Should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at info@trivago.com. We will be happy to assist you.
Kind regards,

I live in Australia. Booked accommodation on Trivago 4holiday at Tweed Heads.
Paid deposit.Travel docs received, looked legite.
Rang Resort confirmed booking paid balance. Got confirmation documentation.
On check in, advised by Resort there was no reservation, it had been cancelled (4days after I paid balance).
Resort provided me with emails from booking company. No cancellation emails were sent 2us.
Trivago is an umbrella site advertising lots of booking sites. Some are legite but others are overseas companies set up 2 scam u out of yr money. During this process my booking has gone thru Trivago / Need It Now / Hotelbeds.com / Sembo / Stena Line Travel. Despite numerous emails to the booking sites the only response I've rec'd is 4me 2 phone an emergency line in Spain! I tried once & was advised on a recording the number is out of service. (Funny that... of course it is!)
We've lost $1900. You never think it will happen 2 u because the whole process looks legite... you're on Trivago right... they're advertised on TV. I've previously booked on Trivago & not had a problem. But this latest experience is frustrating & hugely disappointing & $$.
Some bastard/s behind the scenes is stealing $$ thru dodgy travel sites.
Since this happened 2 days ago I've read a lot about other's experiences & unfortunately we're not alone. I've sent an email 2 Trivago & am waiting a response. From other's accounts it appears Trivago knows of the scams but doesn't help because... IDK... maybe they're getting a good cut of yr money above normal commission?!
I'm f#*! Ing annoyed.
Use Trivago Map to see what's where but then ring the accommodation place direct. You'll find out if there's a 'real vacancy' & prob get a cheaper deal. Happy Holidays:-)
Mi reservasion fue a Nuevo Vallarta del 25 al 29 de Julio. Puse 2 adult is y 2 menores de 12 y 14 anos. Trivago me mando mi reservasion con las edades correctas via correo electronics. Para mi terrible sorpresa llegando al hotel a hacer mi check in resulto que a mis hijas les pusieron de 10 anos. Po r mas que llamavamos a el numero que proporsiono trivago NUNCA RESPONDIERON. Tanto el hotel como nosotros llamamos. Y tuvimos que pagar la diferencia de las edades de mis hijas. Lo fustrante es que confiamos en Tobago x que se anunsiava en la TV. Y pensamos que era una Campania segura.
CONSULTE VARIOS HOTELES A FIN DE VIAJAR A MAR DEL PLATA ARGENTINA, LO QUE TIENE DE BUENO LA PAGINA ES QUE COMPARA POR UNO, LO QUE REALMENTE ES MUY BENEFICIOSO A LA HORA DE TOMAR DECISIONES Y NO PERDER TIEMPO
