What is trip1?
trip1 is a hotel booking platform with over 3 million hotels in 190+ countries, where you can pay with Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDC, and 120+ other cryptocurrencies. The rates you see on trip1 come from hotels and their partners, so they move with the market.
Why hotel prices change
Most hotels use dynamic pricing, which means their systems update rates as conditions change. The main factors are:
- How many rooms are still available
- Local events, conferences, and holidays
- Season and day of the week
- How far ahead you book and how long you stay
- The rate type, since refundable rates usually cost more than non-refundable ones
What this means when you book
The price you see while browsing can change before you pay. If a rate changes between search and checkout, refresh the hotel page to see the current price.
When you pay with crypto, CoinGate (trip1's crypto payment provider) locks the crypto amount for the payment window, usually 20 minutes. Send within that window and you pay the amount shown.
Tips to get a better rate
- Compare a few dates if your trip is flexible
- Pick a free-cancellation rate, then check the price again closer to your trip
- If the rate drops, you may be able to cancel and rebook at the lower price, depending on your rate's terms
