Why are the prices for the same hotel different when booked on different websites?

You are right, the price of hotel reservations on different websites does vary greatly. What I understand is that generally the hotel front desk quotations and price tags are very high. Among all the hotels quoted on the website, the website itself has to pay dividends. The website itself is also a business chain. While increasing the website's popularity, it will also charge a certain amount of merchant fees. When I book Jinjiang Star in Beijing, the price is also different. For example, if you book at Golden Century, the price is 199, and you will receive a 10% dividend. If you are not a member it is 239. If you are a member of this hotel, booking online is 179, so you can see the website's profit from it. Not only are the prices for hotel reservations very different, but even the air tickets are different. I have encountered this situation many times when booking with Ctrip or Golden Century, but the ticket prices are not much different, basically around 100 yuan. Therefore, I suggest that when booking online, you must go to a well-known website.
