Netizens found that the hotel booking prices of different platforms and channels are three times different. Why is this happening?

This situation may be caused by the hotel or the platform. It can be seen from the responses of both sides that they have been kicking the ball and shirking their responsibilities.

It is said on the Internet that a man took his baby to Shanghai and booked a hotel. At that time, the price was 9559 yuan a night on the US Mission. However, after arriving at the hotel, the man found that the actual price of the hotel he stayed in was 2980 yuan a night, and the price of the US delegation was more than three times higher. To this end, the man asked the US delegation to refund the difference, and finally with the help of the media, the problem was solved smoothly. Afterwards, the US Mission responded that the partners adjusted the price according to market supply and demand.

In real life, such problems do exist. Holiday inn is more expensive, but usually the price is cheaper. However, Meituan's statement seems untenable, because the reporter soon found that the prices of other platforms were lower than Meituan's, and the highest price of other platforms on that day was only about 4,500.

1. Hotel prices on different platforms are 3 times different. It happened in a hotel in Shanghai. A man booked in advance with his child and spent 9559 yuan. As a result, when I checked in, I found that as long as it was 2980 yuan, I lost more than 6000 yuan inside and outside. To this end, the man asked the platform to refund the difference. After all kinds of kicking the ball, the media intervened, and the man successfully got the price difference compensation of the platform.

However, things did not end here. Under the investigation of relevant personnel, it is found that the prices of various network platforms exceed the actual prices of hotels. The highest is the US group ordered by men, with two breakfasts costing more than 9,000 yuan, while other platforms only cost 4,000 to 5,000 yuan. The cheapest one only includes one breakfast, and the price is more than 3000 yuan. In other words, thousands of dollars only changed for one breakfast.

2. Answering on the platform After the incident, the platform responded quickly to protect its reputation. After verification, the partner adjusted the price according to the supply and demand situation, which caused a bad experience to the customers, and they have already refunded the difference.

At the same time, some people in the tourism industry said that the reason for the hotel is even greater. Although the platform did not update the price in time, the price itself was agreed in advance. The hotel is likely to play a game with the platform in order to cancel the middle price of the platform.

The hotel's reaction is just the opposite. In related news reports, the reporter interviewed the waiter. The answer at that time was that the platform belonged to the agent and would occupy the guest room in advance. It is likely to occupy the room and sell it to the guests at a high price. The agents mentioned here are not only our commonly used apps, but also various online travel platforms. It can only be said that both sides are at fault and everyone is considering their own interests. If they are not particularly anxious, it is best to compare the physical price before deciding whether to book from the platform.
