Best Days to Book a Hotel Room

New report: Survey reveals the best day and time to book a hotel

The report said that booking a hotel room over the weekend is a money-saving strategy because fewer people are searching:

“We see supply and demand play a major role with prices, which are at their peak Monday through Wednesday. Searches and prices start to decrease the closer it gets to the weekend, with prices at their lowest Fridays through Saturdays (when 23 – 30% fewer people are searching).”

Another thing to consider? Your hotel check-in and check-out days. Checking in on a Friday or Saturday and checking out on Sunday is the most expensive option overall.

Also, a Sunday check-in is the cheapest, followed by Monday and Tuesday.

Summary of the Global Hotel Study findings for domestic travel:

Cheapest day to book a hotel ….. Friday/Saturday
Most expensive day to book a hotel ….. Tuesday
Cheapest hotel check-in day ….. Sunday
Most expensive hotel check-in day ….. Friday
Cheapest hotel check-out day ….. Friday
Most expensive hotel check-out day ….. Sunday

Remember that using your Trunited-Travel link can save you (or your customer) up to 70% on the cost of their Hotel Reservation AND pay you 11% Profit Points.

IF you check Trunited-Travel and the cost of your hotel reservation is less than $165 then check to see if you get a similar price for your hotel reservation with Trunited / LookupFares – which will give you a flat 18 pts for a hotel reservation.

Note: When booking airline flights, Trunited-Travel will give you 3 points for each airline ticket, but Trunited / LookupFares will give you 20 points for each airline ticket. Nice!
