EuroCheapo, a free Internet guide related to budget travel in Europe, has launched CheapoSearch, termed as the first personalised search tool created specifically for budget accommodations. (9/17/2007)
CheapoSearch lets users find and book small hotels, pensions, B&B’s, and hostels throughout Europe and compare rates from multiple reservation agencies. According to the company, it boosts “EuroCheapo’s inventory of penny-pinching hotels to more than 25,000 across 32 countries.”
Travelers can search by date and sift through available European hotels, all selected by EuroCheapo’s editors based on rate, location, and user rating. Staff favorites, which have been visited and reviewed by EuroCheapo correspondents, appear at the top of search results as “Editor’s Picks.”
“By searching the best budget hotels in Europe, CheapoSearch is able to help travelers experience more of Europe for less. This is especially helpful now, with the euro so strong,” said Tom Meyers, Founder and Editor of EuroCheapo.com.
“To ensure quality results, CheapoSearch only includes hotels selected by the site’s editors, who monitor and update listings daily. EuroCheapo does not allow hotel owners or online travel agencies to pay to be listed,” stated the company.
