How many properties can I compare?
In our Smart Shopping hotel comparison tool, you can compare up to five properties at once. After you reach the limit, just remove a property that no longer fits your needs so you can add new properties to compare. Or use filters like budget or average rating to narrow your results from the beginning.

What price is shown in the hotel comparison tool?
