Price Comparison

Trivago compares prices from hundreds of booking sites like Booking.com, Expedia, and Hotels.com. During our test, we noticed significant price differences for Van der Valk Rotterdam Blijdorp. Thanks to Trivago, we discovered that Booking.com was the cheapest provider, saving us €26 per night. This makes the price comparison feature indispensable for anyone looking for a hotel in Rotterdam.

Useful Filters

Trivago's filters allow you to sort hotels by price, location, star rating, reviews, and amenities like free WiFi or breakfast. We tested the filters by searching for a 4-star hotel with a swimming pool and WiFi. The number of results quickly narrowed down from over 100 hotels to just 5 options. The filters are easy to use, although some filter options could be more visible on mobile devices.

Clear Interface

The Trivago interface is clear and user-friendly. After a search, you immediately see a list of hotels with photos, prices, and reviews. This makes it very easy to compare hotels. The interface works smoothly on both desktop and mobile, although you may need to scroll more to access the filters on mobile. Still, the interface is logical and simple to use.

Guest Reviews

When searching for a hotel in Rotterdam, it's helpful to know what others think about it. Trivago displays reviews from platforms such as Booking.com and Expedia. This gives a complete picture of other guests' experiences. Sometimes you need to click through to the booking site to read the full reviews, but you still get a good first impression of the hotel. This helps you make an informed decision.

Real-time Prices

Trivago displays real-time prices so that you always see the most up-to-date rates. During our test with the Van der Valk Hotel Rotterdam Blijdorp, we noticed that the price changed within 30 minutes. This means you always know the current price. Although an increasing price can be frustrating, Trivago ensures that you never deal with outdated prices.

Booking via Provider

Trivago is not a booking site but a price comparison tool. After selecting a hotel, you are redirected to the provider, such as Booking.com or Expedia, to complete the booking. This process was smooth and fast. We booked a room at Van der Valk Rotterdam Blijdorp via Booking.com, and the booking was confirmed immediately. The price matched exactly the price shown on Trivago.

Mobile App

The Trivago app offers the same features as the website but optimized for smartphones. This is ideal if you're on the go and want to book a last-minute hotel in Rotterdam. We tested the app during a peak period on a Friday evening. The app worked quickly, loaded smoothly, and provided access to the same filters and features as the desktop version. This made it easy to book a hotel no matter where we were.

Best Price-Quality Ratio

One of the main reasons to use Trivago is that you are guaranteed to get the best price. Since you can see all the prices in one overview, you no longer have to search multiple sites yourself. We booked a room at the nhow Rotterdam and paid €15 less than the price offered directly on the hotel website. This saving makes using Trivago worthwhile. You can be sure that you’ll never pay too much for your hotel stay.

Conclusion

The 8 unique selling points of Trivago work as promised. The price comparison, real-time price updates, and user-friendly interface make booking a hotel in Rotterdam simple, fast, and affordable. The price comparison is especially a huge advantage because you are guaranteed to get the cheapest option.
