Venere.com Voted Best Hotel Booking Site
EUROPEAN UNION, May 31, 2006. For the second year in a row, Venere.com has been voted best hotel booking web site by the leading Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten.
Journalists at Aftenposten conducted a test among 23 hotel booking engines. The test was based on a combination of hotel price against a set of web site criteria - usability, maps, pictures, payment method, quality of hotel information and hotel policies. Venere.com came out as the winner for online bookings, hrs.de was second and hotwire.com third.
The jury comments on Venere.com: "Magnificent usability and low prices. Advanced maps make it very easy to choose a hotel in the right location. There are hotel reviews and very good pictures."
Aftenposten readers were invited to comment the results. "Venere.com is king! I have used Venere.com for many years, without any problems at all. It is very easy to find hotels and the booking and cancellation work perfect. I have almost never found a hotel cheaper on another website. A good thing is that you can cancel the booking just a day or two before your departure - if you should find a cheaper hotel somewhere else", says Aftenposten reader Kalle Brolin.
