Kayak
Booking Holdings owns and operates Kayak, an American online travel agency and metasearch engine. Kayak's website and mobile apps are currently available in over 18 languages and in over 30 countries, including the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, India, China, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Russia, Switzerland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, the Netherlands, Australia, Ireland, Mexico, New Zealand, Belgium, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea, Japan, and Singapore.
Kayak's hotel search, like its flight search, has a simple, easy-to-use interface with a plethora of criteria. It also displays the rates of various hotel booking sites, allowing you to compare them all in one spot. However, unless you expressly filter by price, the initial hotel price result is frequently more than better prices farther down the list. Kayak's hotel search results are automatically ordered by the ambiguous criteria of "Recommended," as is the case with many other hotel booking sites.
When navigating through results, pricier prices frequently appear initially, and occasionally, the lead price is significantly more than other comparable hotel alternatives. It's difficult to understand how this is beneficial, especially given that the purpose of hotel search engines is to assist you in locating the greatest hotel deals. The site’s minimal look is nice but does have a downside: The option to sort by price is a hard-to-find, gray drop-down menu atop the list. Kayak presents strong options and price comparisons, so long as you’re willing to scrutinize or sort by prices.
