BusinessHotels.com next to Booking.com and Priceline

The sites whose price BusinessHotels.com matched most often were Booking.com (274 hotels) and Priceline (262), both Booking Holdings sites. At the 907 hotels where BusinessHotels.com and Booking.com were both listed in our 14 price snapshots of September 25 to October 1, 2026, it showed the same price at 274. Where the two differed on the same tax footing, Booking.com was lower at 408 and BusinessHotels.com at 148; at 77 more the two prices could not be put on the same footing. When Booking.com was the lower one, it was typically by $5 a night; when BusinessHotels.com was, by $3. Next to Priceline it showed the same price at 262 of 834 hotels. Where the two differed on the same tax footing, Priceline was lower at 364 and BusinessHotels.com at 130; at 78 more the two prices could not be put on the same footing. See our Booking.com review and our Priceline review.

Against each hotel's going rate (the nightly price most listed sites agreed on), on the same tax footing, its price was more than 2% above at 327 of 868 hotels, within 2% at 494 and more than 2% below at 47.

How often BusinessHotels.com had the lowest price

In the 14 price snapshots of September 25 to October 1, 2026 that recorded every booking site's price, we priced the same two-night stay at 5,830 hotels in 348 cities on every site Google Hotels listed. BusinessHotels.com was listed at 943 of them (578 in the US). The study recorded BusinessHotels.com as the lowest price at 12 of them, 6 of those 5% or more below the going rate (typically 9% below). At a further 31 it showed the same price as the listing recorded as lowest (when two sites show the same lowest rate, the study records the one Google listed first). For comparison, some site was 5% or more below the going rate at 4,181 of the 5,830 hotels, and Super.com was recorded as the lowest most often (1,193 hotels).

Its listings carried Google's free-cancellation label at 0 of the 943 hotels (0%) and named a room at none of them. A price with no room attached may be for the smallest or a non-refundable room, and you cannot tell from the listing.

These are prices from one moment in each snapshot, as Google Hotels showed them (all-in where the site reported taxes and fees, else the nightly rate), not completed bookings. Where two sites' prices differed, we say which was lower only when both were on the same tax footing (both before tax or both after), which we infer from the hotel's going rate with and without taxes, as on trivago vs Expedia. Method and the CSVs are on our hotel price study.
