Save big on your next hotel

The hotel makes the vacation. Whether you’re off on the trip of a lifetime or just stopping for the night, booking the right hotel at the right price can make all the difference. Priceline takes the guesswork out of finding deals, but a few savvy tips can help you save even more.

The sweet spot for locking in a solid deal is between 10-90 days of check-in. Prices are usually highest when dates are first released, then gradually drop as check-in approaches. For those who can wait it out, Priceline is the ultimate go-to for last-minute hotel deals, but for most travelers, the best time to book tends to be 10–30 days before check-in, especially during off-peak seasons. 

Planning to travel for a big game, a sold-out concert, or a local festival? Hotel prices tend to surge as events approach, and availability can disappear fast. Booking a hotel 30–90 days in advance gives you both flexibility and protection from rising prices. So if you’re heading to a big game in Santa Clara, CA or to a 90’s revival concert in Las Vegas, book ahead and know you’ve got a great deal from Priceline.

Hotel rates are usually at their lowest on Sundays and Mondays, when weekend travelers head home and demand dips. As the week picks up steam, so do prices—peaking on Fridays and Saturdays when leisure travel hits its stride. Booking early in the week is your best bet for scoring the lowest rates.

Priceline works directly with top hotels to negotiate exceptional rates. Want even deeper discounts? Check out Express Deals, where customers can sort and filter based on their preferred neighborhood, star rating, and other amenities, like a gym, spa, or pool, so they can be confident they will get exactly what they’re looking for. And because the hotel name is only revealed after they book, we can offer some of the best rates in travel at name brand hotels. 

These deals are often only on Priceline and are the biggest deals we offer, up to 60% off retail rates. And don’t forget: our mobile app (iOS and Android) offers deeper hotel discounts exclusively for app users.

Many hotels offer free or flexible cancellation, and Priceline makes it easy to find them. Just filter your search to show only hotels with flexible cancellation policies. Be sure to read the full cancellation policy to ensure you are aware of any key dates for refunds and/or cancellation fees.
