The #1 Travel Hack Of 2020 - How ANYONE Can Get 50% Off Hotels

- I stumbled upon an incredible travel hack that has completely CHANGED the way I book hotels. If you are looking for a travel hack to save you money, budget your trip, and afford more travel- look no further than THIS video!

*NOT sponsored. NOT an affiliate link.
The most expensive part of travel is usually the accommodations/hotels. For a small little furnished box, they can easily run you $200 a night. When I wanted to take a trip to Hawaii recently, all of the hotels were $400+ a night and it was just ABSURD! So, I found these mystery deals on hotwire.com- but was determined that there MUST be a way to figure out the hotel before booking... it turns out there is- and it's pretty easy. In todays video I tested out this hack a few times, proved it to be true, and ultimately saved over $1,800 on my trip.
A written explanation of the hack:
1. Find the hotwire mystery deal of the day
2. Assess the ratings of the deal of the day and ANY other details they give you. Such as location, daily resort fee, number of reviews. Sometimes they give you more details than others.
3. Find the other hotels listed on the website for the same rating number, then match it up to the mystery hotel. For this, you will need to go to the reviews of each hotel and compare the condition, service, cleanliness, etc. ALL OF THESE MUST MATCH UP EXACTLY TO THE MYSTERY HOTEL. Once you find the hotel that matches these reviews and is in the same location- you've found the mystery hotel!
4. Do an internet wide search for room rates of the hotel, just to MAKE SURE you are getting the lowest possible rate.
5. Book the hotel, be amazest it actually works, and enjoy your trip! :)

DUDE LET ME START BY SAYING THANK YOU! so sick of clickbait bullcrap youtubers do all the time.
posting "How ANYONE Can Get 50% Off Hotels" and actually delivering it 👏👏👏
Stephanie Sevier YESSSS
Definitely, what an awesome find and a genuine video !!! 👍👍👍
I searched on UA-cam and it's scamy site be careful
Stephanie Sevier yes!!! I thought it could’ve been clickbait, but figured I’d watch it anyhow and she delivered! Love her!
I’ve used this exact method, traveling for over 2 years non stop. This might have worked in her single use, but for example when I used this is vegas I ended up with a lower class hotel each and every time unfortunately and it wasn’t worth the price.
Paused this video half way through, booked a hotel In Amsterdam and saved close to $1,000 for the week. Thank you 🙏🏼
Nate O'Brien if Nate says it works then it totally works 🙌🙌
You know it's a legit budget hack if it's Nate approved
Hi Nate where youtuber meet on youtube! Lol
exactly where I was looking to go! haven't been able to justify the price until now - my partner will be so happy!
Nate O'Brien enjoy!
Take a screenshot of the example photo of the room, then crop it so there’s no text, then use image search and bam you found the hotel with less research. You can double check the ratings to be certain. I’ve done this a few times and works like a charm! Hope this helps.
Not all the mystery deals provide sample photos of the room. I was just looking at one that had no photo of the hotel or room
Ok
Way easier than what she teaches you to compare the reviews.
@@jiatan5012 Mine was a stock photo so not so much
How do you use image search is that an app or something online?
SIS JUST DID THIS AND IT WORKED! Thank you!! That’s why I F with you straight to the point and no clickbait 🙌🏾🙌🏾
SO glad this wasn’t clickbait, definitely trying this for my next trip!!
Search on UA-cam it's very scamy be careful
Hi, Welcome to chilli's what do you mean? Explain..
Smiley Jpg just Google Hotwire reviews and you will see all the negative ratings there. I would not risk it even if Monica recommended.
@@smiley8106 do your research even from last weeks
@@smiley8106 basically at the end you get hit with a hidden resort fee, and you’re basically paying more than what you were told.
The ratings don't absolutely match anymore, but you can still narrow it down if it shows "Your Hot Rate hotel is guaranteed to be 1 of these 3" and keep refreshing your browser to see which one shows up consistently. I just booked the Ritz-Carlton for almost half the price! Thank you so much for this!!
same! did this back in october and got the best hotel i’ve ever had for like $100 a night for a two bedroom with 3 beds. normal price? $900 a night.
planning to stay here again. base price $200 this time on hotwire during july/august season
I was just looking for this exact tip! THANK YOU
WHY AM I JUST NOW FINDING THIS!?!? Thank you sooo much for this video!
This definitely works. I've done this a few times because I'm never going to pay full price. Most rates are inflated for hotels and you can usually get great deals like this or by finding last minute deals. Thanks for sharing!
FRIENDLY TIP
It usually shows you one photo of the room you’re about to book so instead of matching the ratings, I just look at photos and see if the carpets in the photos match to the one it gives me!
Nura Amirah another great idea
Smiley Jpg thank you! Hope it helps others (:
So dose this website that Monica really work and can trust? I’m a lil sacred.
Thanks Nura

Hi Monica, thank you for the advice. I'm a single dad of two HS seniors both graduating this June. They have both applied to the US Air Force Academy. If they get in they'll be leaving for basic training in June and for the most part, I won't see them much for the next 8- years between their school and active duty. We are traveling March 20 returning March 26 during their HS Spring Break. What makes this trip so special is my entire family is traveling to Washington D.C. to support my sister who is competing in a national competition in the federal circuit court for law school. My dad is getting old and my time with my sons it's running out. I want to make as many 3-generation memories as possible. My grandparents took my sister and me on a cross country trip when I was 13 where DC was one of the highlights of the trip. With the boys potentially going to the Air Force Academy I thought what a great experience for them to see DC and get a deeper sense of who we are as a country. This trip is going to be a family vacation we all will remember for a lifetime. I'm booking 3 rooms for 6-days so any help I can get to save money will be so greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Paused your video 3 minutes in and immediately booked a hotel for a Duluth, Minnesota (1 hour away from me, went to college there and it's on gorgeous Lake Superior). We had to cancel our big summer trip because of covid, so we're just taking the kids up North for a little getaway. This completely works. we're getting a great waterfront Hotel for $60 bucks per night... thank you! And thank you for teaching this GenXer some new tricks!
I watch so many videos on UA-cam, this is by far the best one I’ve seen on this subject! Thanks for not being clickbait!!!! I am now subscribed to your channel. I know you posted this a while ago, but I’m hoping you have more amazing content like this 💗
Paused this video halfway through and just booked all my hotels for Iceland (that I've totally been procrastinating booking for weeks because of the prices). You saved me over $600 AND I got the fun surprise of hotels I wouldn't have chosen by myself. Thank you so much Monica!!!
Fake comment.
Thank you Monica for this great video! I booked a hotel room 2 days before my event and the price was mind blowing!!! It was under $100!
Hello! I am extremely blessed that you took the time to share this wonderful opportunity!!!! I am homeless and live in a 8.5 x 20 foot long car hauler convention. And I love to travel and see different sites! So by living in my rolling home I save tons of money! So with this new information I will go to Hawaii now! Thanks!!
This is too amazing. I have looked at all the hotels for a week and refuse to pay these prices. Sure enough, I recognize 1/2 the rooms I am looking at and the price is at least $50.00 less. I haven't searched that much yet. Thank you so much. You are a smart cookie.
This video was so helpful! I paused it to make my bookings and saved $48. Every $1 matters when it comes to travel so it was worth it. Thank you!
October 2022 - The ratings don't match anymore or are close but not match exactly. But you can take a look at the 3 options in "Your Hot Rate hotel is guaranteed to be 1 of these 3". Then you refresh the page multiple times, the hotel option that stays the same is the "actual" hotel you will get in that deal. The other two options will change to a different hotel each time you refresh.
I love you
Fantastic info! Thanks!
This still works! Was skeptical because it took so long to find (on cellphone) you can even go to filter and select the hotel star rating and review rating to narrow it down. Also under filters you can select the area, some of the review items aren’t as easy to spot as in the video, but once you find one that’s super close just look at the original price on the hot deals to compare and see if it matches then the mile distance.
The Westin Ka'anapali is AMAZING! It is BY FAR, the most beautiful hotel/grounds we have ever stayed at! I have a video that tours the property but it's just so much better in person! Great job on the amazing tips!!!!!
And an even quicker way to identify the hotel (without all that customer feedback analysis comparison) is to refresh your browser after you've clicked on deal of the day and select the box that states the hotel is one of two (or three) hotels. Keep refreshing your browser and looking at the hotels, one of which remains and the other one (or two) changes, so the hotel you are being offered is the hotel that's always in the selection of two.

Hello
What's the meaning of "by select the box that states the hotel is one of two"?
Also what do you mean by "the hotel that's always in the selection of two"?
@@LilBogota Hi Legend. It looks like they have changed their website now so it makes it impossible to find out what hotel they are actually trying to sell you. When this video came out and when i posted the comment 5 months ago, you used to get a window open which gave a selection of two or three hotels, one of which was the hotel in question. You could then rotate through the hotels by refreshing your browser and using a process of elimination, you could work out which hotel it was because it would always be in the list. It seems they have removed that function. They have even removed the address and now you cant even do address comparisons. There are the customer feedback guest ratings at the bottom of the page still. This may still work if you are prepared to review all the hotels in the geographic area they refer to. So my additional hack doesn't work and you are forced to seek out ratings comparisons like the original poster of the video. Hope this helps. Ray and Sue's Travel Channel.
Traveling next week! Thanks!!
Seriously insane hack! Way to go Monica! I can’t wait to try this out.
I used a similar strategy on Priceline after the housing crisis. 4 and 5 star hotels could be accessed, dirt cheap. After prices rebounded, I stopped trying. You posted this two years ago but I live in California where housing, gas, hotels...everything is sky high. I checked out Hotwire and sure enough, your logic is still accurate. Thanks Travel Girl!
I appreciate you girly! I’m actually going on a solo trip to Hawaii as well! I’m soooo ready now. Tytytyty 💖
I booked a room for 2 in lower manhattan for 400 dollars for 4 nights! THAT'S CRAZY!
Thank you Monica!!
The hack is really good. Nice work Monica!
SO glad this wasn’t clickbait, definitely trying this for my next trip
Oh wow. Thanks SO much. I'd love to go to London. My mum died last year and she was from England and I feel it would be a way to honor her memory by going to her native land which she loved so much. Thanks again for the fantastic tip. I rarely stay in hotels cos of the cost but for treats, this would be ideal. Cheers.
EXTRA TIP: Before even reviewing the ratings, if you compare the star level on the Hot deal and the hotels you narrowed down, that knocks a few more off the list you have to check ratings on. This works for Priceline too! Done this for years and never book hotels any other way.
Still work?
@@kristins8906I hope so 🤞
Now THIS is useful!!! I can't wait to try it! Thank you so much for sharing this tip.
Hey Monica!!!! I love the content! Thank you for being so transparent. Can you do a video about the fight costs and the best place to buy plane tickets for Hawaii? Thanks New Subscriber!!
I thought this was going to be another video telling us about the same "hacks" getting thrown around but this was surprisingly refreshing. I'll definitely be using this.
hacks that make you jump through hoops to save $30 and potentially get your flights bumped - subsequently missing your next flight at your stopover - still need insurance. to cover fck-ups like that
8:18 The moment I realized Shelby & Monica church are two different people!
Great tips! Will definitely try on my next trip!!!
You are so generous 💖💖 definitely gonna try this someday, maybe after I graduate college 😊
Thanks for the great advice , I cant wait to try it!
Yeah, this is a GAME CHANGER. I studied with a marketing group and we had just about EVERY travel hack down but this one. Great video and THANK YOU for saving us thousands of dollars in lodging expenses!
Wait what are the other hacks though?! You should make a video and link it here :)
What’s all the other hacks ??? Lol
Give us the hacks OR ELSE 🤖
I just did what this video described and saved over $1530 on my reservation at the Waldorf in Maui!!!!!!!! Thank you so much for the tip it was awesome and I’ll do it all the time now. You can actually fine tune it for where you wanna stay. For me it wasn’t a random place I was able to filter it to basically the property I wanted!!!!!! Sick!
Did this really worked ?
Aloha from Hawaii. Thanks Monica. I hope you enjoyed your trip to Maui. Thanks for the great tip-very clever. I just subscribed to your youtube channel. I'm going to check out your other videos.
What a great video! On one search they blocked looking at the photo however under choose your room type gave away the name of the suite! easy money
I remembered this video, and used it to book a hotel in vegas! Saved 50% on my hotel and got the exact place I wanted.
Doing so much research trying to plan a trip for me and my boyfriend, and I’m so happy I found this video! We are trying to book a trip to Mexico for our five year anniversary. His family is from Mexico and he’s never been, so it’s super meaningful since it will be his first time there. We’re also college students trying to ball on a budget so winning this would be a dream come true!

This is an awesome video. Thank you for this information.
Wow! This is actually very useful information. I tested getting a room in Denver and this actually works. Thank you!
OMG, SHE CRACKED THE CODE!!! I would always cross my fingers and pray to stay in a badass hotel!! hehe, THANK YOU SOOOO much for this video!!! This is why she is my fav UA-camr!
Thank you for the great tip!
Me and my husband just moved to the states and are spending so much time and money settling down, paying for lawyers and our visas. And we LOOVE to travel. But unfortunately for now it doesn't seem possible to do it any time soon. Our dream is to visit Bali. And I would love to make a surprise for him and present a trip on our first wedding anniversary :)
Thanks for this! Been looking for something like this for a a while!
Thx so much. I was looking for luxury hotels to stay in for my birthday coming soon and I'm so excited to use this hack. Thank you 💗 😊
Going on a trip with my family soon. Using this hack, I was able to get two rooms for what we were going to pay for one! My teenage daughters thank you for getting them their own hotel room!
WOW, that second hotel with the in unit washing machine looks amazing! This is so so cool, thank you for sharing - about to go try it out. It's unfortunate that I need a specific hotel for an upcoming event because I doubt this will work, but for other things it could be great. Hoping it's still valid in 2022!
Wow! Completely works! Got a 70% discount for my week long stay in NY! Thank you!
Super informative video Monica. Thankyou for sharing. Going to try it out right now. Safe travels, stay healthy and take care. Ray and Sue's Travel Channel.
My goal for hotel, airline, and rental car hacks was to get the employee rate. That's always under $100 per night. I'm still working that angle. I always thought the Hotwire Deals were time sensitive. Meaning the deal will expire from your screen in 3 mins. It seems it would take some time to check on the ratings of all of those properties if it's a major city like San Francisco or Miami. The giveaway at the end of the video was really cool! It's always nice to give back!!
Omg I love this! If you ever use this again, please document the hotel experience so we can see more!
I'd heard of this before but didn't understand how it worked. Thanks so much for the breakdown! I'm already booked for my trip next month and didn't do too bad considering I didn't know this hack, but I will 100% be using this in future!!!
I love that you find deals this way
My boyfriend and I have been wanting to visit L.A. for a music festival! I'd really like to surprise him with a trip there for our 5th anniversary! 😊
i love this! i reallyyyyyy hope that Hotwire never sees this and starts messing with it.
I would love to go to Whistler, Canada with my dad. My dad is the type of person who always puts others before himself. He has always wanted to go to Whistler because he loves the outdoors but never found the time since he has 2 jobs that keep him very busy. He has never even seen mountains before so I would love to treat him to an awesome trip full of mountains and exploring. I love you Monica and how you always give back. ❤️ Great tips!

I've been using Hotwire for years and thought people knew. Turns out they don't. Thank you for sharing, esp the review of what you get when you show up. I can show my friends this video to convince them.
Dang surprised you weren't doing this before. I've been doing this for years lol. Using Hotwire and matching the review ratings. I think the first one I figured this out with was back in 2011 when I booked a Hilton on the beach in Florida for $100 per night 😂
I’m crying of happiness rn thank you so so soooo much ❤️ I wanted to go to my country Honduras for a while now and visit my family now I will hopefully.
THIS WAS CRAZY!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH💕💕💕
Hi Monica! THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS HACK! I'm travelling to Europe for the first time this summer for two weeks SOLO! It's my first big trip/time to Europe and the first time travelling solo for more than a day. I haven't really explored much outside of where I grew up and I am so excited to take this leap and see what happens. I would love the chance to book some hotels while I'm in London and Ireland. It would really save me money on my already budget friendly itinerary. Thanks for sharing this hack with us :)
Did it work for you? I live in London and the doesn't seem to be available to even download in these parts 🙄
I have an even better tip, screenshot the image of the hotel then go into google photo and search with the lens photo search it will match the exact place with the Google browser
Yup. No need to even screenshot, just save the image url and paste it in to image search. It's WAAAAYYY faster than this. Hopefully they don't fix this, been doing it for ages .🤣
@@adntigger71015 Cool thanks
With the mystery deal, there is no image of the hotel
@@Jaeboss depends these days, not sure if they're phasing it out entirely or not, but I can see the photo about 85% of the time still.
We had to redo our honeymoon into a road trip and used this hack every night! Worked each time!
Thank you so much Monica. I have just used your trick and booked a hotel room in half price in Chicago.
I just hit subscribe!!! Thank you so much. I am so excited.
Girl is smart af! She seems like the kind of person who could elevate a partner to greatness.
Watch reviews on UA-cam it's a scam be careful
Weird comment.
And after he's achieved his greatness he cheats on you with a younger more attractive woman 🤔 I know too many women who went through this.
Lmao
@@user-qo7vq6yx8q it's not that deep
EVERYONE STOP WATCHING THIS VIDEO AND DON'T SHARE so they don't make it harder hahahahah
fab video thank yoooou, I wanna try this X
Hi babe
Don't worry, Covid already did that lol
@keziah are you from game of thrones? What kind of name is keziah?
Luckily they can’t take away reviews and the general location information, so I don’t think this hack is going anywhere!
This hack really helped me plan a trip. Thank u
Thanks dear this is a great way to search hotels. Love this channel 🇬🇧🇬🇧👍👍
Great information!! I am about to take my first trip on a plane to Orlando, Florida for a Christian revival definitely need reasonably priced hotel rooms since we are staying for a week.
I just want to let you know that you're a bad bish! I booked a 5 star hotel in Punta Cana for $179 a night. The stay is about $484 a night without this trick. Keep doing what you're doing. I can send receipts if views do not believe.
Omg thank you so much!! Awesome deals
Watching in 2022 and this trick still work!! Thank you so much! My honeymoon cruise was cancelled a week before our wedding and this helping us find a great place.
Thank you for this awesome hack! I didn't need to use it for my trip coming soon but I will definitely utilize this for my future trips.
Ok.... until this video I never realized you were a twin. Pretty sure I’ve been combining you both into one person 😂😂😂😂
Omg same lmao!!
Nice!!! Can't wait to try this out!
u r my fave travel youtuber
Monica: This hack will show you what hotel you are getting.
Everyone: Hey, it worked!
Me: Hey, it worked! Thanks Monica!!
💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰
Priceline does a similar thing....I've figured out what hotels as well.
Thanks! I gave it a look. The number of reviews is also a good way to find the exact hotel.
I just booked a Hotel in San Diego and I got the one I wanted. I was so nervous but excited 😊 good experience and saved some money. Thank you 🙏
I actually tried the method and yes it does save you money ( booking through them ) but they don’t add the resort fee at the end along with the total cost of your trip. So you get hit with another 100$ or more 🤥🙃 so basically you’ll be paying the minimum with them more at the hotel
You can also find out by matching the number of reviews the hotel has. That's how I do it.
Wow! Great video and super informative. I am going to London and Florence Italy in June and I am definitely going to give this hack a try.
This is gold, thank you so much!
man, you and your sister are so cute, this is actually really smart also, i'll never use it because I'm broke still...
Thanks for the tip! I've done a similar mystery booking on other websites, but what I've noticed is that they sneak in a "resort fee", which basically takes away half of the original discount. Does hotwire pull the same trick?
They all do now...damn shame
Just discovered you, thanks for the hotwire trick. I haven't used hotwire in a while, there was another trick of which I don't remember. I have been more into the credit card hotel game mostly now, but if I can get credit for a stay from hotwire, Ill be thankful for this.
Love it! Thank you!
My fiancé and I would love a trip to Budapest for our honeymoon! That would be lush! 🤩
I was just there a couple of days ago! 😅
Booking a room for Friday doing this excited
Girl, you’re simply a genius. 🙌 Thaaanks for sharing
Oh my gosh I tried it and it worked thanks so much ♥️♥️♥️
is this still a thing in the 2022 summer? Or did hotwire do something to not make this work
Instagram: abigailanthis Where: Hawaii Why: it’s always been my family’s dream to go to Hawaii, and this year marked the ten year anniversary of my dad living past what the doctors told him (he had open heart surgery, and they told him his recovery did not have good odds).

Thank you for this tip!! I learned something new 😀
This is absolutely absurd! Thank you so much for sharing!
