We launch new features on the Trabber hotel search engine that will help users traveling with children and users who travel in groups and are interested in finding more than one room at a time.

From now on, you can specify the number of children staying in the room so that on the hotel results only hotels and rooms that have the required capacity are shown.

Some hotels charge additional amounts when children are accommodated. With this new feature, these costs will be included on the prices shown. This will help to prevent unpleasant surprises when booking in Trabber providers.

As the costs for children accommodations often depend on their ages, the new Trabber hotel search engine interface will require to specify children ages.

The second feature that we present is a better support for booking more than one room in one search. The new interface allows you to indicate the number of rooms and the number of people staying on each room. To add additional rooms to your search you should click on the link “Add room“, located under the number of adults. We have limited the maximum number of rooms to 10.

We enhance the information we display for every hotel, adding a rating based on all reviews from Trabber Hotels providers users.

Hotel ratings are displayed now next to the hotel information and it ranges from 0 to 10, being 10 the highest.

We consider that this value helps to get a better idea of the overall hotel quality as it is based on travelers opinions like you. Surely this information will ease your selection.

Additionally, based on hotel ratings we have developed an algorithm that sort result by what we call best “value for money“. This algorthim takes into account not just hotel rating but also location, category, and other parameters to create the list of results.

We have tested the algorithm in several cities and consider that it is quite accurate and reliable. However, it is always better to hear your comments to continue optimizing it.
