[victorsoul]

Hello,

i'm trying to identify this hotel, in "name your own price". It's called a 4* deluxe with:

Indoor or outdoor pool;

Restaurant;

Fitness center.

Well, here in South America, we've a poor information on the web about the priceline and hotwire services, here.

Can someone help me, please? Thank You.

If you haven't yet, please start by reading your messages.

For there to be information on the web there needs to be user input, so please start by following-up your previous Hotwire Orlando thread with whatever you ended up doing for that trip, then reply to this thread and we will have a look at your post above.

Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

Did it. =) I hope this time i can use HOTWIRE or PRICELINE. =)

[thereuare]

Those amenities are showing on the 'Name Your Own Price' side of PRICELINE, and the amenities shown in this section are amenities that are available at every hotel in the zone at this star rating... they are not amenities for a specific hotel that you would be bidding for.

When bidding on PRICELINE you need to be willing to accept any hotel in the zone at the star rating, or higher, that you're bidding.

Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

Let us know if/how you'd like to proceed or if we can be of further help.

Thank you.

Tried today, 50 usd, 4* without success. Tomorrow i ll bet 54.

On the retail side, Priceline has a 4* on your dates for $89. You've got plenty of time to gradually increase your bids on up to that level.

If you get one of those "counter-offers" that says something like "if you increase your bid right now by $xx you will be successful", usually the best thing to do is to just ignore it and stay with your original plan. Counter-offers

don't always occur before a successful bid, but when they do they give you a useful bit of information. They tell you there most probably is something available somewhere between the bid you just made and the offer. Sometimes people have been successful with just one or two more dollars. Generally a bid about 1/2 way up, or 1/2 way plus a dollar or two, will be successful.

Thank you for the explanation. Well, this 4* is breaking my head. This one, its rated with 5* on booking, and 3* in tripadvisor and 4* on the priceline. Well, do you know if in the secret offer " name your own price" the rate is = "list view" or is generally the rate on the Trip Advisor?

Cause, if = "List view"( priceline) rate, i think i ll try the 3* ones, because this hotel( 4* the list view ones) is terrifying.

Thank you again for the help. Sorry for the bad english.

What hotel are you referring to?

Unique Luxury Colony, in Colonia Del Sacramento

PRICELINE rates this property 4* at the moment so that would be the star rating on the bidding Name Your Own Price side of their service as well.

Booking.com is not currently taking reservations for this property so there is a chance that they are not updating the star rating either and it may have changed since it was last reviewed by that service.

Tripadvisor does not provide a star rating for this hotel. The user reviews give it 3.0/5.0, but this is different than the star rating of the hotel.

Even if a hotel does not show on Priceline retail, it is still possible to get it via Priceline bidding. The two processes don't share the same pool of hotels. Lots of similarities, but there can be different ones on each side.

So you could still get the "bad hotel" via bidding.

You might check directly on the hotel web site and see if it shows fully booked. That would lessen the chance of getting it via bidding. But even then it is possible to get it.

With bidding, there just aren't any guarantees. But the savings have always been worth it for me.
