1. Searching for hotels on Google
When a traveller searches for hotels on Google.com.au, they may see a mixture of ads (which are marked with an 'Ads' badge) and free booking links. Depending on the search, a hotel-specific section may appear among the results, featuring a list of top hotel results. If a traveller clicks the "View [number] hotels" link (or anywhere on the map), they'll be taken to a more complete list of results that includes hotel photos, ratings, prices and a larger map of property locations.
If a traveller searches for a specific hotel, they'll be presented with information about that hotel, along with booking links to reserve a room for their selected dates.
2. Hotel results deeper dive
When a traveller searches for hotels on Google.com, then clicks "View [number] hotels" (or anywhere on the map), they'll be taken to a more complete list of results. This view includes both a list and a map of hotel search results with hotel names, photos, prices and ratings.
A traveller can further filter results by check-in date, occupancy, price, amenities, user rating, brand, hotel class and more.
Clicking on a hotel sends a traveller to the hotel details page.
3. Hotel details page and booking links
The hotel details page contains:
- Information about the hotel, including contact information, amenities, photos and user reviews, as well as direct links to the hotel’s website and directions.
- A 'booking module' that contains hotel booking links, which consist of prices and links to book a room in the hotel for a specific check-in date and room occupancy. Paid booking links are labelled with an 'Ads' badge, and free booking links are listed under 'All options'.
When a traveller clicks on a hotel booking link, they’ll be taken to a website to complete the booking.
