Find the Best Holiday and City Hotels at the Lowest Prices

SmaxGo compares the prices offered by many accommodation providers for the same hotel and the same dates on a single screen. Since the search results also show differences such as room type, breakfast and cancellation policy, you can choose based not only on the number but also on the services included in the price.

After entering your dates, sort the results by price, then apply the rating and location filters. Areas a few kilometers from the center are usually more affordable. Weekday stays, flexible dates, and early booking are the three most effective ways to lower the total cost.

Hotel prices change with demand; off-season months, weekdays and periods outside school holidays are the most affordable times. For beach tourism, spring and autumn are the periods when prices drop, while for city hotels it is weekends. Early booking discounts open months before the season starts.

Don't look only at the nightly rate; also consider whether breakfast is included, free cancellation, the transportation cost of the location and the guest rating. Hotels rated 8 or higher within walking distance of the center are usually the most balanced option. Reading recent reviews also helps verify that the photos are up to date.

You search by entering your destination, check-in and check-out dates, and the number of rooms and guests. You select one of the room types of the hotel you like, enter the guest details and complete the payment. The booking confirmation and the property's contact details are sent to your email address; at check-in, simply show this confirmation and your ID.

Conditions vary depending on the room type you choose. Bookings with free cancellation can be canceled free of charge up to a certain date; discounted and non-refundable room types have no cancellation right. Reading the cancellation policy shown under the room option during booking prevents unexpected charges later.

Location, guest rating, services included in the price and the cancellation policy are the four basic criteria. On city trips, proximity to public transport is decisive; in holiday regions, distance to the sea. Reading reviews written within the last six months and checking reception hours and check-in/check-out times are also important to avoid surprises.

On the search results page, you can list suitable properties by checking the pets allowed filter. Pet policies vary by hotel; some properties apply a weight limit, while others charge an extra nightly fee. It is recommended to check the hotel's pet policy and common area rules before booking.

Off-season periods, weeknights, and long stays are when the best prices are found. Prices rise during religious holidays, New Year's, and school holidays as demand increases. Moving your dates a week earlier or later in the same area often makes a significant difference without changing the room type.
