Uncover the Hidden Names of Priceline Hotels With This Extension
When you book hotels through a third party supplier, you are essentially trading flexibility for a lower price. For example, Priceline offers what they call the Priceline Express Deal , where you can book a hotel room for up to 60% off its advertised price, but the catch is they won’t tell you exactly which hotel you’ll be staying at. booking time. Instead, they only give you a general map of the hotel’s location and reassurance that the hotel is a “reliable partner” for the company; you won’t know which hotel you’re in until you book and pay for the room.
How to reveal the hidden names of Priceline hotels
However, thanks to the Google Chrome extension created by redditor user u/currentpangolin , you can find out which hotel is being offered. Using the TravelArrow extension, you can find out the name of the hotel that Priceline offers you through their express offer before you book it. TravelArrow uses its algorithm to predict a hidden hotel suggested by cross-referencing hotels in a specified area with amenities listed in a Priceline publication.
Reddit user u/emotionalchungus described his experience using the app positively, explaining, “Found the name Priceline Express on my trip to San Francisco and got a nice five-star resort for my stay. I was choosing between two five-star hotels with a ‘hidden name’, and if I hadn’t known the name beforehand, [I] would have chosen the shabbiest one.”
The extension should help take the worry out of booking through a third party provider. Of course, you will be able to look at hotel reviews and also compare the price shown on the seller’s website with the price shown in the hotel to see if you are really getting a good deal. Whether or not the advertising listing stands water or not, you’ll probably thank yourself for taking uncertainty out of the equation.
