Save time and get the best hotel price for your next trip using Price Alerts. Price changes are checked daily, so you don’t miss the price when it’s at its best. Here’s how to get started.

How can I track hotel prices?

KAYAK Price Alerts monitors hotel prices and lets you know when they go up or down. Pick a hotel or destination, set a Price Alert and get notifications to your inbox or your phone.

All you need to do is go to KAYAK’s hotel search, pick a hotel, click the heart icon and hey presto, we’ll start tracking the price.

Note, you will need to sign in or create a KAYAK account before setting up any Price Alerts.

More tips on how to track prices and save on your next stay.

Whether you want to stay at a luxury resort or are just looking for the least expensive 3-star stay, a hotel Price Alert helps make sure you don’t overspend.

Track hotel prices for a destination.

If you have a trip planned and are looking for a good value hotel, try a destination Price Alert.

Find Price Alerts in the tools section of the app and enter the destination or area, your dates and how many rooms you need. If the star rating is important, you can pick that too. Then sit back and KAYAK will monitor hotel prices in that destination for you.

You can do this on desktop through the notifications section of your KAYAK profile.
