Kayak launches hotel info website

Tuesday, 25 Mar, 2009 0

Kayak.com today announces the launch of hotel information site, TravelPost.com.

The website presents hotel reviews, content and rates on more than 140,000 hotels from over 200 travel sites.

Content includes detailed descriptions, photos, maps and reviews from travellers and professionals, as well as tight integration with Kayak.com’s rate search.

During the course of the next three months, TravelPost.com will focus on signing European hotel review providers to further broaden its coverage.

“Consumers and hoteliers are woefully underserved by websites like TripAdvisor.com, who appear to care more about their bottom lines than providing relevant content and a seamless experience,” said Steve Hafner, CEO and co-founder, Kayak.com.

“So we built a website that combines comprehensive search functionality, a clean, uncluttered display and unbiased results that are not auctioned off to the highest bidder.

“The combined power of Kayak.com and TravelPost.com will change the way people search and book hotels and reshape competition in the online travel space.”
