NEW YORK, March 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- With travelers eager to hit the road again for summer vacation after the disruptions caused by the pandemic, Frommers--the trusted travel media company and guidebook publisher celebrating its 65(th) year in 2022--has released the latest edition of its Best and Worst Hotel Booking Sites. The ranking names the top online travel agencies and aggregators for finding lodgings on the road in 2022.
The top 10 has been shaken up considerably since the previous ranking in 2020.The top 10 has been shaken up considerably since the previous ranking in 2020. Using a complex, weighted system involving 60 different room reservation scenarios, travel expert and analyst Reid Bramblett put booking engines through the wringer to determine which sites deliver the lowest rates, the most options, and the easiest user experience.
For the first time, Google tops the list, but the search giant only narrowly edged out previous winner HotelsCombined, with both showing a keen ability to find the most affordable rooms.
Other heavy hitters, including Tripadvisor and Kayak, only managed middling scores when put to the Frommer's test, ranking 5(th) and 7(th) respectively. After falling out of the top 10 five years ago, Hotels.com clawed its way to the 10(th) slot, displacing Hotwire from the list entirely.
The complete top 10, along with detailed analysis, a rundown of each site's pros and cons, and money-saving warnings about sneaky tactics and outright rip-offs, can be found at Frommers.com/BestHotelSites.
And coming soon: Frommer's latest ranking of the top sites for finding affordable airfare--fully updated for 2022.
