Is Your Property Eligible for Rate Connect: Take The Quiz

Why are independent hoteliers so eager to take advantage of trivago’s Rate Connect? The answer is simple: more visibility on one of the most recognizable brands in the travel industry and more direct bookings!

What is Rate Connect?

Rate Connect offers a pay-per-stay campaign, which is a commission-based model. You can select your preferred commission rate for direct bookings and only pay after the guest checks out, regardless of when they booked.*

You also have the opportunity to promote your website rates in trivago’s top position—the most valuable spot for hotel deals and main driver of travelers’ clicks.

Rate Connect Essentials

Before you get started, there are two things you need to launch a Rate Connect campaign:

1. A Business Studio account: If you haven’t registered your property on trivago Business Studio, go ahead and do it today—it’s free.

2. A connectivity provider that partners with trivago: When you start using Rate Connect, trivago becomes a new distribution channel for your property. Your connectivity provider sends trivago your room availability and website rates to advertise in travelers’ search results, while the booking engine handles the direct bookings you generate.
