What is Trivago?

trivago is an online hotel and accommodation search platform based in Germany. It was founded in 2005 and has grown to operate in over 55 countries worldwide. trivago's core offering is its hotel search engine, which allows users to compare hotel room rates from hundreds of different booking sites in one place.

On the trivago hotel search platform, users can enter their desired travel destination and dates to view aggregated rates and availability from sites like Booking.com, Expedia, Hotels.com and more. In addition to hotels, trivago also compares prices for alternative accommodation options such as apartments, vacation rentals, hostels, and more. Users can filter search results by price, star rating, amenities, location, and other preferences.

A key feature of trivago is its ability to quickly show users a comparison of room rates across different sites for the same hotel. trivago collects over 170 million hotel offers from its partners every single day. By bringing together this huge variety of rates in one place, it aims to enable travelers to make informed decisions and find their ideal hotel at the best available price.

trivago primarily makes money through referrals to its booking partners. When a user clicks from trivago to one of its partner sites and completes a booking, the partner site pays trivago a referral fee. trivago also earns revenue through advertising - hotels and booking sites can bid to show up higher in search results on trivago's platform.

Over the years, trivago has grown to become one of the largest online accommodation search services in the world. Its website and app see over 100 million visits per month from travelers looking to compare hotel deals. The company went public in late 2016 and trades on the NASDAQ stock exchange.
