What is the best time to book a hotel?

According to a study carried out by the Trivago portal, a month before a hotel stay is usually the time when potential savings are at their highest point . On the other hand, there is little difference between making the reservation on the same day or advancing it two months, so it follows that last minute actions in tourist matters are not such a bad business.

This general market behavior takes on its own nuances depending on the country. In Spain, this time of best prices can be extended and covers between 4 and 7 weeks , while in Italy it is 3 to 6; in the United Kingdom, from 4 to 5; in Germany, from 3 to 4; and in France, from 2 to 4.

Therefore, it is in the Gallic country where the best price can be found even fifteen days in advance. Of course, the general data that establish a month in advance as the best basic moment behave in the same way in all countries in winter and summer .

To carry out the study, prices in Spain, Germany, the United Kingdom, France and Italy in the last two years were taken into account. And always without losing sight of already known data, such as the fact that the time when the offers are best is at the beginning of the year , just after the Christmas holidays. Likewise, we must not forget that hotel prices are not as variable as those of flights.
