10% booking.com promo code - valid until the end of 2016

We recently found a solution to get a 10% booking.com discount code off the hotel prices from booking.com. It involves a little bit of creativity:

There is another online travel agency called EasyToBook that offers most of the booking.com hotel inventory, at the same prices as booking.com.

However, EasyToBook also offers a 10% coupon code, that will actually mean that you save 10% from the booking.com prices.

How to proceed to the reservation to get the 10% booking.com promo code:

- search on booking.com and note the price for the desired hotel and room type. For example, for the week-end 13 - 15 August 2016 in Brussels, Belgium we like the Four Points by Sheraton**** at a total of €156 for a double room from booking.com;

- then, we start the search in EasyToBook for Brussels, for the same dates. In the results page, on the left column, you can type directly the name of the hotel you want (see print-screen below):

- as you can see above, the Four Points by Sheraton hotel has the same price of €156 also on EasyToBook, but before applying the promo code. Continue with the reservation on EasyToBook;

- in the payment window of EasyToBook, look for the "Voucher code" box and copy/paste the promo code ETB10PCFB01, just below the total price information and then push the button "Apply" (see print-screen below):

Finalise the reservation on EasyToBook. That's it, you just saved 10% off the booking.com rates.

Expedia UK is making life easier with their new feature: a section of their website where they highlight good quality hotels at less than £49 per room per night.

I find this useful when searching for travel ideas for the upcoming week-ends. Ever wondered: hmmm, where should we go next week-end? And then you see a really good hotel deal in Rome for example, you book the hotel and the flight and you're set.

This is why this Expedia solution is good. Click on the link below to go to the offer page:
