Found a stay elsewhere? Compare it using screenshots

If you already found an accommodation offer on another booking website, you can bring its details to TripBid through the signed-in screenshot comparison journey. TripBid checks the information and looks for an eligible offer. You review any resulting offer before deciding whether to book.

Show the stay, not just an eye-catching price

Prepare clear screenshots that show the hotel name, check-in and check-out dates, total price and total guests. Include enough context to understand what is being priced. A list of hotel search results or a cropped nightly price may not establish the stay you want to compare.

  • Keep the property name readable and distinguish similarly named properties.
  • Show exact dates, including checkout, rather than only a month or a date range in your browser history.
  • Show the full party and rooms. For families, retain relevant child ages and room occupancy details.
  • Capture the total stay price and currency, and whether taxes or other payable charges are shown separately.
  • Include room type, meals and cancellation conditions where available so you can evaluate the comparison properly.

Do not include payment-card details, passwords or unrelated personal messages. Use the price and accommodation information needed for the comparison, not a screenshot of a completed payment.

Example: a useful comparison record

Illustrative screenshot details, not an actual hotel quote

Your screenshots show “Marina Courtyard Hotel” for 7–11 October, two adults, one twin room, four nights, €716 total, breakfast included and the stated free-cancellation deadline. Those facts create a meaningful comparison. A separate screenshot can preserve detailed room or policy information when it does not fit on the price screen.

If the screenshots instead show only “€179 per night”, you still need to check how many nights, rooms and guests that price covers and what is included. Do not assume a per-person price is a room total.

Distinguish an equivalent stay from an alternative

An equivalent comparison uses the same hotel, dates, guests and room arrangement, with matching meals, taxes and cancellation conditions. If any of those differ, evaluate the result as an alternative rather than calling it an identical stay at a lower price.

Illustrative equivalent offer

A €672 offer with the same four-night stay and all the same inclusions as the €716 example has a €44 price difference. Check the details and total before describing it as a saving.

Illustrative alternative offer

A €628 room at another property without breakfast is an alternative. It may suit you, but the hotel, meal inclusion and possibly location differ. Add any breakfast and transport costs you actually expect to pay before deciding.

Review the result as a new booking decision

Sign in to use the screenshot comparison feature. Upload the relevant screenshots through that journey, then read any resulting offer in full. A screenshot is a record of what you saw elsewhere; it is not a reservation, a price hold or a guarantee TripBid will beat that price.

The website you captured and TripBid may have different availability or terms when you return. Use the current offer details when making your decision. Do not cancel an existing reservation on the assumption that a screenshot submission has already secured another stay.
