About this app
One search, many booking sites: trivago is a hotel search engine rather than a place to book. It pulls prices for the same room from Expedia, Hotels.com, Booking.com, Trip.com, Priceline, Accor, Orbitz, HotelTonight and others, so you can see who's cheapest before clicking through. It covers more than 5 million properties in over 190 countries. Some rates carry a mobile rate badge and are only available through the app. Price drop alerts watch your chosen hotels and notify you when a price falls, which beats re-running the search every day. Favourites can be saved and compared side by side on things like pet policies, late checkout, free cancellation or breakfast. Guest ratings are aggregated from several booking sites into the trivago rating index. Booking itself happens with the partner site, so expect to be handed off at the final step.
trivago: Compare hotel prices: the full guide
What the app is
A search engine for hotel prices, not a hotel booking site. trivago gathers one room's rate from Booking.com, Expedia, Hotels.com, Priceline, Trip.com, Accor, Orbitz, HotelTonight and more, shows them side by side, and hands you to whichever one you pick. More than 5 million properties across 190-plus countries are covered.
Mobile-only rates appear with a badge and exist only in the app. Price drop alerts watch hotels you've chosen and notify you when the number falls. Favourites can be compared on pet policies, late checkout, free cancellation and breakfast. Guest scores from several sites are blended into the trivago rating index.
How it works day to day
Planning starts with a city and dates, then a results list where each hotel shows its cheapest rate and who is offering it. You filter, open a few, save the contenders, and compare them on the things that matter for the trip: cancellation terms, breakfast, whether the dog can come.
Then you set a price alert and wait. A notification a week later says the rate dropped, and you book, at which point the app passes you to Booking.com or Expedia or whoever had the price. The booking, the confirmation and any changes happen there, not in trivago.
Why people look for it
Because hotel prices for the identical room genuinely differ between sites, and checking each one is tedious. trivago's name recognition from years of advertising brings people who already know what it does. Price drop alerts are the feature that turns a one-off search into a habit. The 4.8 rating across 100K+ reviews is high for a travel app, where frustrations usually drag scores down.
Look and feel
Hotel photos dominate, as they should. The five screenshots will show a results list with price badges, a hotel page with the rate comparison, the favourites comparison and an alert. trivago's design is image-led with prominent price labels, and the mobile rate badge is meant to catch the eye. Expect a clean comparison layout rather than a cluttered deals page.
