A swipeable story format
Today Google shared a new way of browsing hotels because choosing the perfect place to stay can be a tricky task and there are many factors to consider, such as location, reviews, and price. It can be overwhelming.
But, Google has exciting news! Today, they announced an easier way to browse and discover hotels on mobile. If you search for something like “Hilton Amsterdam Hotel” and click on the “view more” option, you will see a new feature that allows you to explore each property in a swipeable story format.
This means that you can quickly tap through photos of the hotel and get a feel for what it’s like on-site. With just one tap, you can also save the hotel, find out more information about the surrounding area, or read a summary of what other people find notable about the property. When you’re done, simply swipe up to continue browsing.
Flight Price Guarantees
Google is launching a new pilot program for price guarantees in the U.S.
If you see a flight with the price guarantee badge, it means that Google is confident that the price you see today won’t get any lower before takeoff. They’ll monitor the price every day until departure, and if it does go down, they’ll send you back the difference via Google Pay. This means you can book with the confidence that you’re getting the best deal possible.
It’s important to note that during this pilot program, price guarantees are only available for ‘Book on Google’ itineraries that depart from the United States. If you want more information, you can check out the Help Center.
New Discover Options
When you search for an attraction in Google Search or Google Maps you can now find directly prices on these listings with a link to book your ticket! You also find suggestions for other experiences.
