Getting a room via online hotel booking websites can help you score cheaper hotel room compared to booking directly through the hotel's website. Here are the top 5 booking sites that would help you save some cash without sacrificing accommodation quality.

Hotels.com

This website specializes in booking hotel rooms at a cheaper price. It does not specialize on booking cheap hostels or dormitories. There is a search feature to find hotels that are near a location or a landmark. Guests can choose to pay either at the hotel's reception lounge or online. It accepts all major credit and debit cards, Google Wallet, and PayPal.

Travelocity

This site offers discounted prices of over 140,000 hotels worldwide. Aside from hotel rooms, Travelocity also lets you book activities, flights, cruises and rental cars. You can customize your hotel booking search according to the price, hotel class, location and hotel amenities. Just make sure that the booking dates are final because if you cancel your plans later, customer support might be a little challenging.

Expedia

Navigation on the site is very user-friendly. It offers booking rooms, flights, rental cars, cruises and activities in just one go. Tourists with guests that are disabled or need special attention will find the accessibility features helpful. The option to pay later is good because the hotel will not charge you until your stay starts or until the hotel's payment deadline.

Hotwire

The option to purchase an insurance plan for your trip sets Hotwire apart from other hotel booking sites. It tends to show hotels with deeply discounted prices, which is good if you are after the cheapest hotel offer. Information such as images and guest reviews are only shown after you are done with your booking.

Priceline

Just like any other hotel booking websites, Priceline offers heavily discounted hotel bookings. Tourists are encouraged to read the fine print before booking to fully understand the deal. Overall, this booking site offers straightforward low price for people with no extra preferences or requests.
