So we found you three platforms and websites developed by Israelis, which are going to save you a lot of money on booking hotels abroad. And if that's not enough, get some tips for the beginner booking:

As you stay website

There is nothing worse than arriving after a late night flight to your hotel, and paying for a full day, or, alternatively, leaving early in the morning before you have even had breakfast. If only there was a website through it, it would be possible to pay for the hotel you wanted - according to the number of hours you stay in the room. So that's it, there is and it's even a blue-white website.

Meet the As you stay website, which offers a revolutionary idea of flexible booking where you can pay only for the time you spend in the hotel. Whether you need a room for a quick nap, a short business meeting or an overnight stay, AsYouStay.com allows you to customize the duration of your reservation and pay accordingly. This is a win-win for both your wallet and your schedule, and the hotel's. In addition, by sharing with friends and family the code you will receive on the site, you can earn credits for every order you make with the code. In this way, you can reduce the amount you will pay the next time you book a hotel through the website.

Hotel Ninja plugin

The process of comparing hotel prices between the different sites can be long and tedious, but with the new add-on that you download to your computer, the process becomes easy and fast! The Hotel Ninja add-on, developed by the Facebook group "Travelers Abroad with Children", is designed to make a convenient comparison in front of your eyes of the same hotel you are looking for, on the same dates and in the same vehicle.

In this way, after you download the add-on to your computer (doesn't work on a smartphone at the moment), enter a hotel booking website, such as Booking.com.

Then, choose the desired hotel, dates and family composition and click on search. After that, Hotel Ninja will open in front of you with a price comparison on the various websites. There is nothing easier than that.To download the add-on to your computer: https://www.hotel-ninja.com/

Pruvo website

Want a discount of up to 40% off the original order price? The Pruvo website will help you save even after you have already made an order. The way it works is simple but ingenious: after you have booked a hotel room through any online booking platform, you transfer the booking confirmation number you received to Provo. The team at Provo will continuously monitor the price of your reservation, looking for price drops or better deals for the same room, which happens many times without us even noticing. The reasons can be different, starting with a "last minute" sale for that hotel room you wanted, or a sale for a certain holiday.

Therefore, it is always important to book with the "free cancellation" option, most hotel booking sites, as well as the hotel websites themselves, allow you to book with the free cancellation option, and so after Provo finds you the price drop - cancel your reservation, without paying On it, and order at the lower price, through Provo.

The site has been around for a good number of years so there is nothing to worry about, people from all over the world use this platform, although it seems that it is not that well known in Israel. Provo's service is especially useful for those who book hotels long in advance, as prices often change over time.

By continuously monitoring rates, Provo ensures that travelers always get the best deal for their accommodation. Additionally, Provo's service is free to use, as they earn a commission from hotels when users rebook through their platform.

Some additional tips that will save you money on booking accommodation abroad:

Comparison between devices - always compare the price you saw on the mobile phone with the one that appears on the computer. You will often find very significant differences!

The best price policy - not everyone knows this, but Booking.com has a policy that if you found the same room, in the same hotel, with similar car and dates, at a cheaper price - it will refund you the difference.

Club or mailing list of the hotel chain - it's always worth signing up because those who sign up get exclusive benefits by email.

Travel groups on Facebook - there are groups of certain destinations that manage to get cheaper deals from travel agencies. In addition, there are people who are forced to cancel a vacation and therefore sell it cheaper, search in the "I'm stuck with a vacation" group.

Registering for a loyalty program of hotel booking sites - for example, on the second-level Booking.com website you will receive a free breakfast.

Always check and ask on the hotel's own website - if you send him an email and ask what the cost is for you, he will sometimes give you a cheaper price because he would prefer that you pay on the official website, and not on external hotel booking websites.
