What you pay when you book
trip1 takes payment upfront through CoinGate (trip1's crypto payment provider). You choose a coin such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDC, or one of 50+ other cryptocurrencies, scan the QR code, and send the exact amount shown.
That payment covers the room rate and any taxes shown as included at checkout. The hotel receives payment for your stay, so you don't pay for the room again on arrival.
What you might pay at the hotel
- City or tourist tax: a local charge many hotels collect per person, per night.
- Resort or facility fees: a daily charge some hotels add for amenities.
- Security deposit: a refundable hold for incidentals, released after check-out.
- Extras: anything you order during your stay, such as room service, spa treatments, or parking.
trip1 lists known fees payable at the property in the fees and policies section of the hotel page, so you can check them before you pay.
How you pay at the hotel
Hotels usually collect these charges in local currency and set their own accepted payment methods. Check the property's policies before you travel so you have a suitable way to pay at the front desk.
