Insider Travel Tips: How to Search for Cheapest Hotel Rates like a Pro

One of the most frequent received question from friends & readers – How to book Hotels at Cheapest Rate?

Accommodation expenses are normally the most or 2nd most expensive cost apart from air ticket. This article we will share insider tips that only frequent travelers know and often used by ourselves to get cheapest hotel rates.

For a start cheapest hotel rates doesn’t only mean the lowest budget price but also for specific chosen hotel. Example how did we managed to book XXX hotel Deluxe Double for only USD100 while others booked USD115 and above?

Most people are used to 1 or 2 specific websites to book their hotels thinking it is the cheapest place to book which is not exactly true.

Hotel booking websites are like supermarket giants Tesco, Giant, Carrefour, Walmart, while they might be cheaper on certain times due to promotions, but not always the case during normal period. In fact, they might be more expensive on certain occasion.
