How We Work
You always book directly with the hotel. Here's how we fit in.
Elect Hotels helps you discover and compare exceptional independent hotels. We don't take bookings ourselves; when you're ready to book, you're taken straight to the hotel's own website or booking engine, and you book directly with them.
We curate every hotel on Elect Hotels for quality. Browsing and comparing here is always free, with no account or booking required.
When you click through, you book directly with the hotel at their own rate. Neither the hotel nor Elect Hotels adds a booking fee; the price you're quoted is the price you pay.
Some hotels pay us a small referral fee if you go on to book after clicking through from our site. This comes from the hotel, not from you, doesn't change your rate, and doesn't influence which hotels we recommend.
Some hotels also pay a membership fee to be part of the Elect Hotels collection. This covers the cost of running the platform and never replaces our quality curation; every hotel is vetted before it's listed, whether or not it pays to be featured.
Local taxes such as city tax are set by the hotel or destination, not by us, and may still apply at check-in or check-out.
