How Luxintravels VIP Works: What Members Get, and What They Don't
Updated: 2 hours ago
People ask us the same few questions before they join, so here are the answers in one place.
The short version
Members log in and book hotels at private rates: the same hotel, the same room and the same dates, often below the public price you see on Booking or Expedia. The saving can reach up to 60%. It changes from hotel to hotel and from date to date.
If you want to know where those rates come from, we explain it in how private hotel rates work.
What you get as a member
Access to private rates on more than 2.4 million hotels worldwide, from city hotels to island resorts.
The same booking you'd make anywhere else: hotel, room type, dates, guests and the final total before you pay.
A Price Guarantee on your first purchase, explained below.
More than 48,000 members have joined so far, and together they've booked more than 22,000 stays in over 150 countries.
The plans
There are one-year plans with a set number of bookings, and a lifetime plan. You'll see each plan and its price on the sign-up page before you choose. A few things are worth knowing up front:
Lifetime has no renewal. You pay once.
The one-year plans renew. You can switch the renewal off at any time, free, and nobody will try to talk you out of it.
A renewal that has already been charged is final, so switch it off before the date if you don't want another year.
How booking works
1. Log in and search for your destination and dates.
2. Open the hotel you want and choose the room.
3. Read the total with taxes and fees, the cancellation terms and whether breakfast is included.
4. Book. Your confirmation comes with a booking reference you can give the hotel.
Cancellation depends on the rate you pick. Some private rates are flexible and some aren't refundable, the same as on any booking site. The terms are shown before you pay.
The Price Guarantee
The rule is simple: book through us and if you find the same room and dates cheaper on a public booking site, we refund the difference. "Public" means a price anyone can see without logging in: a member rate, an app-only price or a corporate rate doesn't count.
The guarantee covers the first purchase and has conditions, such as comparing like with like, taxes included. The full terms are in our refund policy, and they're worth reading before you join.
How to check it yourself
Pick a hotel you'd actually book. Note the public price on Booking and on the hotel's own website, with taxes, for the same room and dates. Then compare it with the member rate. Only the final total tells you anything.

Questions we get asked
Is it the same room I see on Booking?
Yes. Same hotel, same room type, same dates. Check the room name and the conditions before you pay, as you would anywhere.
Is every hotel cheaper?
The member rate is lower most of the time, and sometimes by a lot. The saving changes from hotel to hotel and from date to date, so check it on your own dates.
Can I cancel the membership?
You can switch off the renewal of a one-year plan whenever you like, free. Lifetime doesn't renew.
Where do I see the price of the membership?
On the sign-up page, with all the plans side by side.
