TripSay’s fantastic new hotel booking feature

TripSay recently introduced a fantastic new feature to their web service – hotel bookings. The feature in itself is nothing exciting (they’re even using booking information from booking.com only), but it’s the way they’ve implemented it, that’s fantastic.

You’re essentially searching on top of a map of the city you’re about to visit and tools let you easily drill down the number of results shown on the map by dates, stars, budget and location. Hotels matching your search result are shown as markers on the map including the average price per night, giving you a fantastic overview of what’s available in the target city.

One fantastic functionality is to center the location of your search around a specific sight or location.

If you haven’t already tried it, you should. I know I won’t be using anything else for all of my hotel bookings from here forward.

Of course even the best can be made even better. Markers could be slightly smaller, as you get a lot of overlap when you’re browsing a city with loads of hotels.

Kudos to the team. This rocks!
