Why are prices on ReserveTheNight different from other booking sites?
Live rates from hotel partners
ReserveTheNight displays rates sourced directly from hotel suppliers in real time. These rates are not static - they can change multiple times a day based on demand, occupancy levels, and the hotel's own pricing strategy. The price you see reflects what the supplier is making available at that specific moment.
Different markup structures
Online travel platforms each have their own commercial agreements with hotel suppliers and their own fee structures. These differences mean the same underlying room rate can result in different total prices across different websites when each applies their own markup, fees, or discounts.
Promotional rates
Some hotels offer promotional rates - such as member discounts or channel-exclusive deals - that are only available on specific booking platforms. A lower price on another site may reflect a promotion that is only active on that channel, not a general rate that ReserveTheNight has access to.
Timing of inventory updates
Rate feeds from hotel suppliers are updated at different intervals. If you search on two sites within minutes of each other, one may be showing a rate that has already changed on the other. Prices are volatile, particularly for high-demand dates or properties.
The price shown is the best available rate from our suppliers
ReserveTheNight shows the best available rate from its connected suppliers at the time you search. If you find a lower price for the exact same room, rate type, and dates on another platform, it typically reflects one of the factors above rather than an error on our part.
Note on taxes and service fees
When comparing prices, always compare the total shown at checkout - including taxes and fees - rather than the headline room rate. Different sites present fees at different points in the booking flow, which can make headline prices appear lower than they actually are.
