SINGAPORE, 1 April 2022: Frommer’s, a guidebook company celebrating its 65th<\/sup> this year, offers insights on the best hotel booking sites when planning summer vacation travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier this week, it released the latest edition of its\nBest Hotel Booking Sites, saying the top 10 has been shaken considerably since\nthe previous ranking in 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using a complex, weighted system involving 60 different room\nreservation scenarios, travel expert and analyst Reid Bramblett put booking\nengines through the wringer to determine which sites deliver the lowest rates,\nthe most options, and the easiest user experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frommer\u2019s explained it involved tallying the number of\nchoices each contender could rustle up in seven major tourist cities: Orlando,\nNew Orleans, San Francisco, Rome, London, Bangkok, and Buenos Aires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, for each city, it searched for the lowest rates each\nsite could find at four specific downtown hotels in varying price ranges for a\nmid-week, shoulder-season stays three months out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the first time, Google tops the best list, but the\nsearch giant only narrowly edged out previous winner HotelsCombined, showing a\nkeen ability to find the most affordable rooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other heavy hitters, including Tripadvisor and Kayak, only managed middling scores when put to the Frommer’s test, ranking 5th<\/sup> and 7th<\/sup>, respectively. After falling out of the top 10 five years ago, Hotels.com clawed its way to the 10th<\/sup> slot, displacing Hotwire from the list entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The complete top 10, along with detailed analysis, a rundown of each site’s pros and cons, and money-saving warnings about sneaky tactics and outright rip-offs, can be found at Frommers.com\/BestHotelSites<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
