Hopper App now expands its services to predicting hotel prices

After testing a beta version of its new service for almost a year in New York, Hopper announced its hotel services last week on Thursday. Basically, Hopper app is an AI-based airfare forecasting app that precisely tells travellers when to buy the flight tickets at best prices. Now it has expanded its services to hotels which will help travellers to book hotels at minimum prices without wasting their time on price comparisons.

Hopper app uses Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to predict hotel prices. Since its inception, the hotel figure has multiplied in the last one year from 200 hotels across 20 U.S. markets. This app now covers 270,000 hotels in 200 countries across 1600 major cities and are directly available for booking on the Hopper app for iOS. As 90% of sale comes from push notification, Hopper app will notify you the instance prices drop or it will secure a private deal.

Important points of Hopper App:

• With Hopper app, you can filter the hotels by city, neighbourhood, and points of interest and also by rating, price, and amenities.
• Besides monitoring the advertised rates Hopper app also monitors private rates of hotels in order to provide the best deals for the users.
• Hopper has earned exemplary reviews for predicting the future airfares for up to one year with 95% accuracy.
• Travellers can save up to $61/night when the prices are at the highest by booking the hotel at the right time.
• As you go on using the app, it will learn your preferences and will give you more personalised suggestions accordingly.

3 best ways from Hopper app to save up to 50% on hotel bookings:

When to check-in:  At what day you check-in can change your savings from 15% to 47%. According to the Hopper, to check in to a hotel, Tuesday is the most expensive day and Sunday is the least expensive. Check-in on Sunday can save you up to 19% when the prices are high.

Book in Advance: Book your hotels in advance whenever planning for vacations. Hotel reservation prices fluctuate not more but similar to flights. Regardless of the current fare of a hotel, you can get a discount if booked in advance. Therefore, it is important to book hotels in advance if you already know the plans.

Prefer booking hotels directly: You can see hotels advertising online and on other third-party apps. These apps may offer you hotel bookings at fewer prices but booking hotel directly can give you more perks in a more discounted price as compared to third-party apps.

Hopper app features “Watch a Hotel” characteristic that will observe and forecast the prices of a particular accommodation. This way you can select your favourite travel destinations and book those instantly as soon as the prices go down.

Hopper app will charge 10% as a commission on hotel bookings but not more than that. In case the amount exceeds the said commission hopper will transfer it back to the client’s account. The app will roll out for iOS this week and in the following weeks for Android users.
