Hotelreservations.com is a recently new website (founded in 2006) which offers all the tools you need to search, browse and book hotels, flights, rentals, and cars throughout the world. So let's talk about the site, on first impressions I initially thought the site was solely geared towards the American market but after about 2 seconds browsing I was pleasantly surprised to find there were freephone contact telephone numbers for Europe as well as the US which was a refreshing change to those annoying premium numbers which you get on most sites!

So after a few minutes clicking through the different sections of the site i decided to see how easy it was to book a flight to Crete (I love that island!) from Newcastle airport. After putting in the airport codes NCL to HER (which I already knew but you can just enter the names of the cities if you don't know the codes ) and entered the depart and return dates the website began to do its thing and pull all of the information available and promptly delivered a wide selection of carriers and prices! The search took under 30 seconds which is generally in line with other similar websites,

Together with booking flights, hotels, and rental cars separate you can also the advantage of the vacation packages which allows you to search for a Flight+Hotel+Car together or any of the combination of the 3. This is a great feature and a assume it offers some type of discount when you book together like this. Also on the subject of discounts, Hotel Reservations offer a special Internet rate price guarantee that if you find a cheaper quote within 24 hours they will either match the price or allow you to cancel you booking without being charged a large cancellation fee. Along with the ease of use of the site this "price matching" is probably the best feature of this service as by guaranteeing to match a competitors price you know that you are getting a fair deal!
