How to Use Priceline to Book Hotels

Priceline is an online travel agency that offers deeply discounted rates for hotel rooms, rental cars, and airline tickets. It became well-known for its "Name Your Own Price" revolutionary feature, which allows customers to name their own price for travel services. The company has since expanded its services and now offers a variety of travel products and price points. But, most importantly, Priceline still offers excellent discounts on hotels, rental cars, and airline tickets.

Regarding booking hotels, Priceline uses several models to get the best prices for its customers. One of them is "Express Deals," which offers pre-negotiated rates for hotel rooms. The catch is that you won't know which hotel you're booking until after you've paid for the room. You can still see the amenities, photos, customer reviews, and hotel location, but you won't know the specific name until after you make your purchase.

Another new model Priceline has introduced is "Pricebreaker," wherein you see several premium hotels being offered at heavily discounted price points. Even though you see several hotels, they'll all be offered at the same price, but you won't know which one you're getting until after you've made your purchase. Again, this is a great way to get a discounted rate on a premium hotel room, but you won't know exactly which hotel you're getting until after you book it. Priceline also offers traditional hotel booking, where you can search for specific hotels and compare prices before purchasing.

Finally, Priceline also offers discounts on vacation packages, which bundle hotel, airfare, and rental car at a discounted rate. Now let's look at how to use the site to book hotels.

1. Go to www.priceline.com

The first thing you need to do is go to www.priceline.com in your web browser. This will take you to the Priceline homepage. You can download the Priceline app from your app store if you're using your phone for an easier and faster experience.

2. Enter Travel Information

On the Priceline homepage, you will see a search bar near the top. This is where you will enter your travel information. First, select whether you would like to book a flight, hotel room, rental car, or all three together using Bundle. We will be booking a hotel room this time, so select "Hotels."

Next, enter your travel destination. You can either type in the city or airport name or use the drop-down menu to select your location. Then, enter your check-in and check-out dates. The default is set to one night, but you can change this by clicking on the dates. You can also select how many rooms you need and how many guests will stay in each room. Then, click on the "Search" button.

3. Choose Your Hotel

Priceline will now show you a list of hotels in your chosen destination. You can sort the results by price, customer rating, or alphabetical order. Here you'll also have a chance to filter between Express Deals, regular hotel bookings, and Pricebreaker Deals. The results will also show you the price, amenities, photos, average review score, and location. Read through the list of hotels and amenities to find one that suits your needs. When you've found a hotel you like, click on the "Choose your room" button.

4. Choose Your Room Type

Priceline will now show you the different room types available at the hotel you've selected, as well as the price for each type of room. Here you can see everything about a particular room and its amenities in detail, including photos and reviews of the particular rooms. Make sure to read this information because sometimes the amenities of a room and the hotel may differ. Once satisfied with the room, select the room type you want and click on the "Book Now" button.

Pro Tip: Always make sure to read the reviews of the hotel by doing a google search. It gives you a better idea of the hotel and what you can expect.

5. Enter Your Payment Information

At this point, you will need to enter your contact and payment information. Enter your first and last name in the "Guest Name" section. You'll see the "Payment Method" section when you scroll down. This is where you'll enter your payment information. In addition, it accepts PayPal and Google Pay. In the next section, enter your billing information. This is the address where your credit card statements are sent. After entering all your information and reviewing all the information about your booking, click on the "Complete Booking" button.

6. You're All Set!

You will now see a confirmation page with your itinerary and hotel information. Make sure to print this out or take a screenshot so you have it for reference later on. You will also receive an email confirmation from Priceline with all your booking information. And that's it! You've successfully booked a hotel room using Priceline.

Priceline is a great website for hotel booking because of its many features and discounts. At any step in the process, you can always click on the "Help" link at the top of the page if you feel overwhelmed or have questions. You can also call the Priceline helpline directly and speak to a customer service representative.
