Advanced Tips

Be specific about your trip

  • Mention how many nights you plan to stay.
  • Say who is traveling with you, such as children or pets.
  • Note if you need ground-floor access or an elevator.
  • Include your reason for traveling, like a wedding or a relaxing weekend.

Ask AI to flag trade-offs

  • Request a short summary of what you gain and lose with each option.
  • Ask which option fits your top priority better.
  • Have AI point out any deal-breakers, like no parking or far from transport.
  • Request a final recommendation based on your stated preferences.

Include extra costs

  • Ask about resort fees, city taxes, or cleaning charges.
  • Check if breakfast is truly included or costs extra.
  • Compare total cost, not just the nightly rate.
  • Ask about charges for pets, extra beds, or late checkout.

Refine the comparison

  • Ask AI to add a category you did not think of, like noise level or safety.
  • Request a simpler version if the comparison feels too long.
  • Ask for a one-sentence verdict for each option.
  • Have AI rewrite the comparison as a short pros and cons list.

Safety & Verification Checklist

Confirm the details yourself: Check prices and availability on the booking site before you reserve. AI may not reflect current rates.

Watch for hidden fees: Ask AI to highlight extra costs like resort fees, taxes, or parking charges. These can change the total price.

Keep personal details private: Do not enter booking numbers, payment info, or full addresses into the AI prompt. Use only public details.

Read recent guest reviews: Look at guest feedback on a trusted travel site. AI may not capture recent changes in service or quality.
