One of your New Year’s resolutions might be to travel more in 2024, which will involve booking more hotel stays. If you are trying to do so without breaking the bank, this requires you to check several booking sites to see which one offers the best deal. That can be an exhausting process, especially with so many online travel agencies (OTA) to choose from. Thankfully, the makers of the hotel price comparison browser extension RatePunk have done the research to determine which OTA has the cheapest hotel rates for popular destinations.
Speaking with CNBC Travel, RatePunk CEO Justin Albertynas said that his company reviewed more than 198,000 user searches from January 1 to December 1 last year to see which popular booking websites offered the best deals on hotels.
According to their data, Agoda had the best rates globally 34% of the time. Priceline came in second at 23%, and Booking.com’s mobile site came in third at 16%.
