Additionally, the Smart Shopping tool within the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you’re well-equipped to make informed decisions. This way, if rooms become available or prices drop, you could be among the first to book your ideal accommodation.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate depending on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year. Therefore, being flexible with your travel dates could help you save on your stay at a hotel in Xiamen.
