Where we don’t have official ratings, Google gathers data from various sources. A 2-star hotel may have modest rooms and economy pricing, while a 4-star hotel could feature upscale decor, a dedicated concierge, and luxury amenities. Below your travel dates, you may find booking links from our hotel partners related to your search. The links are based on your current search terms and may be based on whether you’re signed in to a Google Account. This policy requires that prices they send to Google must include taxes and fees, and must match the total price you pay on their booking page. To help ensure that the prices partners display on Google are the prices you pay, we regularly check prices for accuracy.
Free booking links
If you click a booking link, you go to the partner website to complete your booking. Customer service questions, including requests for changes, cancellations, or refunds should be directed to the booking partner. If tickets can be bought in a single transaction from an airline or online travel agency, click the link to go to their website. You can buy flights as separate or self-transfer tickets from one or more partners. These options might appear when they could save you money or open more flight schedules. Check how your identity is shown on your booking page.
How Google ranks hotels
