This tool adds up the figures you enter; it doesn't fetch live rates or fee schedules. Fees and taxes vary by city, property and season — check the property's own breakdown before booking. This is general information, not financial advice.
Where hotels hide the real price
A nightly rate can look like a bargain and still cost far more once the extras land. Watch for:
- Resort or facility fees — a daily charge for amenities, often not shown until checkout pages.
- City or tourist tax — common across Europe and beyond, usually per person per night.
- Parking — city-centre hotels can charge a lot, and it's rarely in the headline price.
- Breakfast and Wi-Fi — sometimes included, sometimes a pricey add-on; check before you assume.
- Booking-site fees — occasionally cheaper to book direct once these are counted.
Then sanity-check your flights with the flight true-cost comparator, and see how to find cheap flights for the booking-smart basics.
