Site Review: ReservationsEZ – A Hotel Search Engine
ReservationsEZ.com does the hard work for you by scanning
the entire net for the lowest rates on the hotel you are looking for. ReservationsEZ
searches all sites by offering a hotel price comparison service, also includes booking sites and
the hotel home sites.
A friend of mine has to travel a lot for his business, mostly in Europe but often in the States. He was always using Expedia, and Travelocity until I pointed him to ReservationsEZ.com where he found this the better way for hotel booking. ReservationsEZ compares hundreds of different booking sites in one single search. So not only did he see Trivago or Expedia deals but all of them in one place. This ended up saving him four figures within the year of him using it. I agree, just using one of the top booking sites is not the best idea. Having an all search in one seems the way to go.
I thought I would list out some of the highlights of ReservationsEZ.com to give you more of an idea of its capabilities, its applications background and testimonials.

Using ReservationsEZ has several advantages over other hotel search engines and hotel booking sites:
- See your search results in your currency and your language.
- The prices you see are the prices you pay, you don't have to go through the whole booking process before discovering that the price is a lot higher than originally quoted due to taxes and charges.
- Unlike other hotel booking sites there is an option to see the hotel search results on a large map and not as a long list of hotel names. This is fantastic when you want a hotel in a specific location.
- There is an endless list of options for refining your hotel search.
There is no point comparing ReservationsEZ to sites like Agoda.com, Guoman.com, Booking.com and HotelClub.com as these are hotel booking sites not hotel search engines, in fact these are the sites that ReservationsEZ combines in their results. However there are other hotel search engines which serve the same function as ReservationsEZ.
HotelSearchEngines.net is a site almost identical to ReservationsEZ, they perform the same function and offer similar search filters. When searching on both HotelSearchEngines.net and ReservationsEZ for a room at Hotel Grace in New York the two sites produced identical results. When searching for other hotels the two sites once again gave the same results. The two sites results pages and search filters are displayed in an identical manner. With this kind of service price is everything so it is worth checking out both these sites when booking a hotel, but choose the hotel search engine which appeals to you in terms of layout, services and format. HotelRooms.com is another hotel search engine but the graphics and page layout are so busy and confusing you'll have a headache after your first hotel search!
How to use ReservationsEZ
Using ReservationsEZ is perhaps the most simple hotel search you will ever make. The home page asks only for the essential information then you see search results showing the available hotels. At this point you can start narrowing down your choices by refining your search using options including hotel location and distance from landmarks; hotel stars, hotel facilities, type or style of hotel; hotel brand and price.
Once you choose your hotel you are shown a table of the hotel booking sites offering this hotel.
When the table of hotel booking sites is shown the site logo helps you easily identify where the deal is being offered, and the cheapest offer is at the top of the list.
ReservationsEZ redirects you to the hotel booking site or hotel site where you can then reserve your hotel room. The price displayed in the ReservationsEZ results is the absolute final price, even after you go to the hotel booking site offering the deal the price remains the same as all added extras, taxes and fees are quoted on ReservationsEZ. This way you avoid wasting time following the link to the hotel booking site only to find that tax and other extras are still to be added.
In the search results of ReservationsEZ hotel the room types are listed separately even if they come from the same hotel booking site. This means that if an economy room on HotelClub.com costs $45 it has a separate listing to a $200 room in the same hotel. You can save time by only going to the room that interests you.
The home page of ReservationsEZ has large graphics which makes a pleasant change from trying to squeeze in your travel dates and information into tiny form boxes. The home page graphics are large, eye catching and extremely simple, there are no distracting adverts, discounts, special deals etc, you simply have a space to enter in your destination, number of guests and travel dates, alternatively you can search by hotel name.
