Get cashback on holidays with Hotels.com

You might think of cashback as something you earn on your regular spending, but you can also earn cashback on bigger one-off purchases such as holidays and hotel stays. Quidco's Hotels.com cashback offers are a great way to offset some of the cost of your holiday or give yourself an excuse to splash out!

Look for Hotels.com discounts near you or around the world

Whatever you're looking for and wherever you're travelling to, Hotels.com's huge range means that you can buy better every time. Earn cashback on a last-minute impulse trip or save on your summer holiday with a Hotels.com discount code.

Why book your hotel through Hotels.com?

Hotels.com was established in 1991, and has grown into one of the world's most recognised hotel booking brands, with sites all over the world and in over 40 languages. They're travel experts who deliver great choice and great technology, from detailed search filters to a handy bookable mobile app. And if you're a Quidco member, it gets even better. You can earn cashback on Hotels.com bookings for hotels in top cities such as London, Las Vegas or Paris. Wherever you're headed, you can use our offers for hotels in destinations all over the world.

Great hotels in every corner of the world

Hotels.com lists hundreds of thousands of properties in hundreds of destinations, from major world cities to remote, far-flung places. So whether you're looking for a cool city break, a thrill-packed adventure holiday or just a couple of weeks on the beach, you're sure to find just the right accommodation in just the right place.

The right accommodation for your trip

Despite the name, Hotels.com offers all kinds of accommodation, including apartments, aparthotels, B&Bs, hostels and cottages. Book into luxurious all-inclusive resorts where everything is taken care of; hunt down chic urban properties in the heart of the action; or bag yourself a rural cottage and enjoy a secluded space of your own. With the variety on offer at Hotels.com and Quidco's offers, you can earn cashback on city breaks, your beach holiday or an adventure trip. You could even get cashback on your business travel. Follow the links in our Hotels.com voucher code and cashback sections and get saving!

From hotel-only to the complete package

Hotels.com might be hotel experts, but they offer more than just accommodation. You can also earn cashback on Hotels.com's selection of flights and flight-and-hotel packages – and it's always worth trying a package search, as many hotels offer better rates on package bookings. Hotels.com flight-inclusive packages are protected under the Civil Aviation Authority's ATOL scheme, so you'll be covered if anything goes wrong with your travel arrangements.

Book with confidence

Booking through Hotels.com is secure, with speedy email confirmation, a price-match guarantee and 24-hour customer service when you book through Hotels.com. You'll get an online Hotels.com account that you can use to view, manage and cancel your bookings, with no cancellation fees (do check whether the hotel charges one though).

Hotel searches made easy

Hotels.com is part of Expedia, Inc, one of the travel industry's biggest tech companies. So you'll get an easy, fast shopping experience powered by some of the best tech in travel. Sort by price, filter by star category – it's all carefully designed with you in mind. Find hotels and hotel deals near you or abroad, with reviews written by real hotel guests to help you make an informed decision. For example, if you search for a hotel deal in London, you can use the Sort by Distance feature to quickly find hotels near a range of landmarks and neighbourhoods, whether that's in Shoreditch, near a tube station or close to Big Ben.

Save even more with Hotels.com Rewards and discounts

Hotels.com has its own rewards scheme that pays you back for spending; just like with Quidco, you get rewarded for your purchases. You can also be sure of value – as one the world's largest accommodation providers, Hotels.com can negotiate great rates at hotels around the world, and it's not unusual to find deals and discounts on Hotels.com.

Earn cashback on the go with the Hotels.com app

Seize the moment, be spontaneous and book hotels with the hotels.com app while you’re out and about. It’s easy and secure and puts thousands of hotels in all corners of the world at your fingertips. With the Hotels.com app you also gain access to their secret prices which are only reserved for a special group of customers.

If you prefer using the app rather than going through their website, we now have excellent news for you – because you can now also earn cashback on Hotels.com when using their app. Simply open Quidco’s mobile app, navigate to our Hotels.com cashback offers and click through - the Hotels.com app will open on your phone (make sure to download and install it first). You can then book your next hotel as usual on the app and we will track the cashback for you!

4 ways to make the most of your Hotels.com discount/cashback

Need some inspiration for your travels? Here are a few ways you can treat yourself with your savings and make the most of our Hotels.com discounts and cashback offers.

Cashback on beautiful boutique hotels

If you're saving on your booking, why not splash out on somewhere completely unique?

With a Hotels.com cashback deal through Quidco, you can find a great independent hotel and earn some of the money spent back – and why not use it for a nice dinner?

Treat yourself to a deal at a hotel near you

Don't like to plan? Look for discounts and voucher codes on hotels near you and get a bargain on a spur-of-the-moment night away. Take a last-minute theatre break, go on a well-deserved shopping expedition, or just enjoy a romantic overnight stay with a special someone. You don't have to travel miles for a treat!

Get cashback on a handy airport hotel

Flying first thing in the morning or landing late at night? If you're on a flight departing before public transport starts running or you're arriving after it stops, it can work out cheaper to book a hotel than pay for a taxi – especially if you factor in the cashback you could earn with Hotels.com. Just follow our links, find your airport hotel on Hotels.com and leave the rest to us

Plan your trip and earn cashback on your holiday activities

As well as hotels, flights and packages, Hotels.com also has a Things to Do section. It's the place to go for holiday extras like wine tours, dinner cruises and spa treatments, as well as guided tours and skip-the-line passes for major attractions such as the ruins of Pompeii, the Colosseum and the Louvre. And as well as earning cashback on your Hotels.com bookings, if you keep an eye on our deals and promos you could even book your activities with a Hotels.com voucher code, just make sure that the voucher code is published through Quidco, because otherwise it could prevent you from getting your cashback.

Shopping with Hotels.com

Got more questions about shopping with Hotels.com or using Hotels.com discount codes? You'll find answers to some of the most common queries below.

What is Hotels.com Rewards?

Hotels.com Rewards is Hotels.com's loyalty scheme. If you sign up with Hotels.com as a Rewards member, you can get rewarded for spending; it's a lot like collecting stamps from a coffee chain, where you buy a certain number of drinks and get one free in return. With Hotels.com Rewards, for every 10 nights you book on Hotels.com at eligible hotels you get one 'reward night', which is worth the average price of the 10 that you paid for. You can redeem reward nights any time at all kinds of properties around the world, although not all hotels are eligible. You can also unlock secret prices that are only available to Hotels.com members, and earn Silver and Gold status for extra perks if you book frequently. Note that package, flight and activity bookings are not eligible for Hotels.com Rewards.

Can I get cashback with Hotels.com Rewards?

Yes. As a Quidco member, when you follow our cashback links you can earn cashback on Hotels.com bookings, whether or not you're a Hotels.com Rewards member. The amount of Hotels.com cashback you can earn can vary if you redeem reward nights rather than paying with cash. Check the details of the Hotels.com cashback offers on this page for our current deals and make sure to read the terms & conditions.

When does Hotels.com charge my credit card?

It varies. If you pay in full at the time of booking then Hotels.com will charge your credit card then, and you can expect it to take the usual amount of time for a transaction to clear – this can be on the same day or up to five days. However, with some hotels on Hotels.com you can choose to pay at the hotel, in which case Hotels.com won't charge your credit card at all. With others you can choose to pay at the hotel but you may still be charged a deposit, in which case Hotels.com will charge your credit right away.

Is Hotels.com ATOL-protected?

ATOL protection is a legal requirement for travel agencies selling flight-and-accommodation packages. Hotels.com is covered under the ATOL of its parent company, Expedia, Inc. Generally speaking, package holidays that include accommodation and flights are covered. If you book a hotel alone then you won't be covered, and you might not be covered if you only book flights. If you're not sure whether your booking is ATOL-protected, just get in touch with Hotels.com to confirm before you book.

What fees does Hotels.com charge?

The price that you see on Hotels.com includes a service fee, the same as any other travel business. Mostly, what you see is what you pay. It's a good idea to check any small print before you book, as some hotels might apply a credit card fee that doesn't come from Hotels.com.

What taxes does Hotels.com charge?

The rate that you pay on Hotels.com will usually include taxes, which vary according to the hotel and the country. You can see that taxes are included by looking for the text 'including taxes & fees' under the price on the Hotels.com search results page. Some countries do charge extra tourist taxes when you arrive, so look into this to avoid unexpected extra charges.

Can you cancel Hotels com reservations?

Yes, but whether you can get a refund will depend on the cancellation policy of the hotel – not Hotels.com. Hotels.com doesn't have a cancellation policy of its own; it's all down to the hotel, so it's important to check the details when you book.

What is the Hotels com price match guarantee?

Hotels.com has a policy called its Price Guarantee. The Hotels.com Price Guarantee means that if you find a cheaper hotel price somewhere else, then Hotels.com will match it or refund you the difference – provided that your booking and circumstances meet certain conditions. It has to be for the same room, on the same dates, at the same hotel, and you have to submit your claim for a price match the day before check-in, at the latest. This only counts for publicly available rates from competitors or Hotels.com itself, and it generally won't include special offers – for example, if you use a Hotels.com voucher code to get money off. Head to Hotels.com and sign in or call its customer service line to make a price match claim.
