More about the Hotel Price Scanner from founder Craig Woollaston:

In troubled economic times it is inevitable that consumers will become more cost-conscious when making essential purchases.

In the hotel and lodging industry there is no shortage of choice for the consumer; both in terms of the number of establishments on offer, and the number of online merchants and travel agencies seeking your patronage.

Making sense of the enormous amounts of information available online is not always easy.  Having waded through countless reviews on trip advisor and similar review sites in order to select a suitable establishment, the customer is then faced with task of selecting an online merchant or travel agency with which to make their reservation.

You might be forgiven in thinking that any difference in price between rival agencies is likely to be minimal; but in fact the difference can often be substantial. Where one merchant may be offering a room at 100USD per night, another might have the same room in the same hotel at only 70USD per night; multiply this by seven of fourteen then it is clear that huge savings can be made should guests have quick and easy access to live and accurate price comparisons.

The Hotel Price Scanner, is the world’s largest hotel price comparison engine featuring approaching one million hotel deals in 20,000 destinations across 195 countries. In addition, it also provides 4.5 million high quality hotel pictures, 2.5 million hotel descriptions and maps as well as 1.5 million customer reviews; making it a one-stop solution for both the selection and booking processes.

There has been an explosion of price comparison websites in recent years, but the relevance of such sites in certain industries is questionable.  Take car insurance for example; it may be that a price comparison site highlights the fact that there is a company offering what appears to be same policy for less than that quoted by your current insurer; but there are so many other factors to consider.  You may choose to stay with you current insurer simply because of the service they offer, they may have better breakdown coverage, free windscreen replacement, a more comprehensive courtesy car policy, or it may simply be the case that the hassle of changing insurer in order to save a relatively small amount of money is simply not worth the time and the effort.

When comparing the cost of a hotel room however, there are no such complicating factors.  It is a straight choice.  If company ‘A’ is charging a particular price for a double room in a particular hotel, and company ‘B’ is offering the same room for 20% less; then naturally, assuming you are comfortable with the company in question, you are going to take the cheaper option.

We have designed the Hotel Price Scanner to be clear, concise and easy to navigate.  It’s all about information and choice; but most importantly it’s about presenting that information in such a way that when people make that choice, they do so with absolute confidence.
