10. HotelsCombined: Best Hotel Aggregator Site
HotelsCombined is an aggregator, which basically means it scours multiple hotel booking sites at one time to bring you the best hotel deals. HotelsCombined claims to search hundreds upon hundreds of hotel booking sites, including some of the top hotel booking sites like Agoda and Hilton, and some smaller ones that are lesser known.
But you don’t actually make a hotel reservation on HotelsCombined. Like other third party sites, HotelsCombined takes you to the actual hotel booking site, like Expedia or Hotels.com, where you’ll complete your booking. It’s a great way to compare prices across the board.
However, despite the multiple booking sites it searches, sometimes you’ll find better hotel deals on other hotel booking sites. You’ll have no problem finding super cheap hotel stays, but if you want to have a look at all your options, it’s best to search some other hotel reservation sites as well. For this reason I don’t often use HotelsCombined to make a booking, although I have certainly used it for comparing hotel prices.
