PriceTravel next to Expedia and Booking.com

The site whose price PriceTravel matched most often was Expedia.com, at only 48 of the 278 hotels where both were listed in our 14 price snapshots of September 25 to October 1, 2026. Where the two differed on the same tax footing, Expedia.com was lower at 41 and PriceTravel at 139; at 50 more the two prices could not be put on the same footing. When PriceTravel was the lower one, it was typically by $4 a night; when Expedia.com was, by $8. Next to Booking.com it showed the same price at 47 of 290 hotels. Where the two differed on the same tax footing, Booking.com was lower at 45 and PriceTravel at 142; at 56 more the two prices could not be put on the same footing.

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% below at 104 of 296 hotels and more than 2% above at 64. Of its 313 hotels, 140 were in Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean and Latin America, 129 in the US and 44 in Europe.

How often PriceTravel 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. PriceTravel was listed at 313 of them (129 in the US). The study recorded PriceTravel as the lowest price at 19 of them, 6 of those 5% or more below the going rate (typically 15% below). At a further 7 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 120 of the 313 hotels (38%) 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.
