Ok that's great, thanks! I was a bit concerned because I read elsewhere that the hotels used for the express 'hotel not named' deals aren't necessarily the same as the hotels shown on the standard listings. I've just had another look and there are actually 2 out of the 12 listed hotels rated 9/10 or above, but if the express deal is either of them, that would be fine by me. Thinking ahout it, I'd be a bit annoyed if the guest rating changed for the same hotel shown on both the express and standard deals though, as that would feel a bit misleading, so fingers crossed it's one of the ones I think it is!

Hi, I'm new to all this and hoping someone here can help. I searched on Priceline for 5* hotels in Venice (Italy), and narrowed the zone down to Venice itself, which showed only 12 hotels available for the dates I had chosen. I noticed on the 'Express deals' list that there was a 5* hotel deal showing, which had a guest rating of 9/10. As the list of 12 5* hotels only contained 1 with a 9/10 guest rating, is it safe to assume that this the same hotel as on the 'express deals' list? Also, are the express deals any good, as a general rule? Priceline shows the 5* deal as being 50% off, but it is likely I'd get a better deal by bidding instead? Thanks in advance for your help!
