About Priceline
Priceline pioneered the opaque booking model where travelers can get deep discounts on hotels by accepting some uncertainty about the exact property. Express Deals reveal the neighborhood, star rating, and amenities but not the hotel name until after booking, often at steep discounts.
What's Great
- ✓Express Deals offer steep discounts on hotel rooms with some mystery
- ✓Deep last-minute savings for flexible travelers
- ✓VIP rewards program provides automatic discounts and upgrades
- ✓Bundle deals combine hotel, flight, and car for additional savings
Watch Out For
- !Express Deal bookings are non-refundable once confirmed
- !You do not know the exact hotel name until after booking Express Deals
- !Regular (non-deal) prices are not always the lowest available
