TripBid1. Gather the details used by the request form
Have your destination, check-in and check-out dates, total number of guests, number of rooms and nightly budget ready. The total guest count includes children. Select how many of those guests are children and enter their ages.
The form also offers flexible-date settings and additional preferences for accommodation type, adults-only stays, pet-friendly accommodation where applicable, and hotel star rating. Use the options displayed for your selection. There is no free-text accommodation description, bed-type request, meal selection or accessibility requirement field in this request form.
Check room details, meals, facilities and cancellation terms when reviewing an offer; do not assume they were specified in your request. Use a destination where guest requests are enabled. A destination or property appearing in a public listing does not itself confirm availability for your dates.
2. Sign in and state your dates and total nightly budget
Start a request and sign in or create your guest account. Enter the details of the stay you actually want. The budget is the total per night for all requested rooms, not the amount per person and not the price of one room when you need several.
Illustrative request: two couples travelling together
You need two rooms for four adults, checking in on 12 September and out on 15 September. That is three nights. A budget of €238 per night means €238 for both rooms together and an accommodation budget of €714 for the stay. It does not mean €238 per couple or €238 for all three nights.
Posting a request is free and does not commit you to book. It describes what you would like to receive; it does not reserve accommodation.
3. Let participating properties respond
Properties can respond when the dates, guests, rooms and budget in your request fit their availability and pricing rules. A property using TripBid's AI Reservation Manager can respond automatically within the host's rules. That may reduce the wait for a suitable response, but it is not a promise of an instant offer.
The request uses the fields you submitted, not a written accommodation brief. Hotels are not competing in a bidding contest. An offer is for a particular stay: review its room details, price and conditions before choosing.
4. Compare, choose and complete the booking
Open the offer and check the property, dates, guests, rooms, total price, meals, payment schedule and cancellation conditions. If an alternative room or property is proposed, decide whether it meets your needs rather than treating it as an identical replacement.
Illustrative decision: keeping your priorities in view
A couple wants a twin room near a wedding venue. A lower-priced double room farther away may be less useful than a twin room within walking distance. Compare the transport cost and sleeping arrangements, not just the nightly headline.
Choose whether to book. If you proceed, follow the payment or confirmation steps shown for that offer and check your booking record. A submitted request, an offer and a confirmed booking are different stages. Keep the confirmation and contact the host about arrival arrangements once booked.
