Seriously? We're talking about bringing transparency to a really blurred market and you think this will not help customers in the long term?

What do you mean? Can you articulate?

Our algorithm is based on daily rates from different providers as Kayak or Trivago does. What we do on the top of it is to keep checking day by day looking for better rates and getting that for you. It's beyond price comparison websites.

Yep. We're launching today our brand new Favourite List so you can upgrade on a superior hotel with just one click.

Up-votes on ProductHunt are appreciated ;)

We're already exploring some options, and this is definitely one of them.

Our way we get the best deal is checking daily if the price of your hotel decreased and getting that for you. In this way you'll have the best rate available on the market from now to the day you check in.

If you book directly on the hotel today it doesn't mean than tomorrow the hotel won't drop the price, so there's no absolute truth in saying that the best deals are available just dealing with the hotel. Sometimes is true, that's why we're negotiating pilots with some hotel chains (i cannot tell more, sorry)

I'm as well part of the ones who say "thanks man" to a girl. Sorry if somebody was offended by this.

First of all thanks for the feedback, I always love when critics are useful. I try to go point by point. We took a conscious decision disabling the scrolling wheel as zoom in/out because otherwise it would have triggered too many "refine searches". In addition today the search is even slower due to the huge traffic we're getting and it's definitely something we should work on. But I agree, the map is definitely something we should work on.

Regarding the landing page I think it's still a speed problem, but I'll take a closer look to this.

Thanks again.

I believe it's just a design/interaction solution becoming popular. Then of course when both the websites are dealing accommodation similarities become stronger, but think about it, we're talking about enhancing the really relevant information: Location, picture and price. And that's the best design solution to do it.

Thanks man. Something went wrong in the last update. We're on it.

Right now we're focusing more on users who already know their destination and not on users with an open destination like in your case. But this sounds like a pretty awesome product.

Something was wrong with the trigger. Thanks man.
