Do you really think online travel sites book hotel rooms at best cost?

It's been around a decade since the launch of online travel sites began to revolutionize the travel and hotel booking. These online hotel booking sites remain useful, but in same cases are very painful for the person looking for best last minute hotels deals. We will find many irrelevant hotel room rates and in some case even not true and waste of time for the consumer searching for in the name of last minute travel deals.

While surfing hotel deals on the net consumers need to aware of those tiny little stars or many fold long hotel terms and conditions. These are purposely written in so much length that the consumer searching for best hotel last minute deals can no way ready to go through this pain.

I have also seen many sites which promise to sell last minute hotels room inventory but instead are find of selling hotel rooms at more expensive rate then the online hotel sites. I was always amazed how do they give wrong version to their customers and instead I should say how do they cheat customers and present totally false information.

You will also find it is proudly mentioned the number of hotels they are selling on their website. But, as an individual who has the patience and need to go through thousand of hotels. For example when we search anything on google or yahoo most of us will never go beyond the second page. I think we get the less number of hotels but more related to our requirement we all will prefer that.

I was surprise to see one site which is really thinking on these terms. This site name is bid2travel.com and it even catches my attention more because they were selling empty hotel rooms or I can say last minute hotel rooms by auction/bidding. I normally don't believe just by mentioning on the site but I was forced to accept this when I came to know that they were selling hotel rooms only for next 14 days. This can really be called last minute hotels rooms selling site because otherwise they would sell the hotel rooms for the whole year in advance. bid2travel.com is also bit different when I compare with other sites because they have limited number of hotels with them but here hotels are directly selling their vacant hotel rooms by bids rather than any online hotel booking sites is doing the same on behalf of them.

It is surely a welcome step as far as I think but we need to see how bid2travel.com can take this forward in terms of adding more hotel rooms directly from the hotels to allow the bids on these hotel rooms under the popularly known terms "best last minute hotel deals".
But I would definitely give a one chance to bid2travel.com before deciding on my next hotel booking because I am strong believer in the new startup companies.
