This Privacy Policy explains how Hotel-Room.com handles information when you browse the site, use hotel-search tools, request nearby hotels or continue to a third-party booking path. We aim to collect as little first-party information as practical while still providing useful hotel search.
Browse with minimal data
You can read most Hotel-Room.com editorial pages without creating an account or intentionally submitting personal profile information to Hotel-Room.com.
Location only when requested
The Hotels Near Me tool asks the browser for location only after you choose to use it. Coordinates are used for the current nearby search and are not intentionally added to the public page URL.
Third-party hotel services
Live search and booking access can involve BusinessHotels.com, Google Maps/Places and the booking provider responsible for the reservation.
Choice over optional analytics
Optional analytics can be controlled through Cookie Settings. Core hotel search is not designed to require optional analytics consent.
Information that may be processed
Information you enter into search tools
Hotel search can include a destination, hotel name, dates, number of travelers, currency or related booking criteria. These values are used to return relevant hotel results. When a search is fulfilled by BusinessHotels.com or another provider, the search criteria are transmitted to that provider as necessary to perform the request.
Technical and server information
Like most websites, the hosting environment can receive IP address, browser type, operating system, requested URL, referring page, timestamp, response status and similar security or diagnostic information. Server logs can be used to keep the service available, investigate errors, detect abuse and understand aggregate usage.
Cookie and preference information
We can store a local preference indicating whether optional analytics are permitted. See the Cookie Policy for details.
Geolocation for Hotels Near Me
When you press “Use my location,” your browser asks whether Hotel-Room.com may access location. If you allow it, the page receives coordinates from the browser and uses them to search for nearby lodging and estimate distance. We intentionally keep those coordinates in the active page context rather than adding them to the URL.
The nearby tool can also send location coordinates to Google Maps/Places to identify nearby hotels, reverse-geocode the area and obtain property details. Google processes that request under its own privacy terms. Closing or reloading the page ends the in-page copy of the current location unless the browser or a third-party service retains information under its own policies.
AI Hotel Finder and Google Places
The AI Hotel Finder can load Google Places to help distinguish hotels with similar names and return formatted address, ratings or property photography. When the Google Places service is used, typed search information and technical request data may be processed by Google. The selected hotel and stay dates can then be transmitted to BusinessHotels.com to request a current hotel rate.
BusinessHotels.com and booking providers
Hotel-Room.com uses BusinessHotels.com for live hotel search and booking access. BusinessHotels.com and connected booking providers may process search criteria, device information, fraud-prevention signals and reservation information required to display rates or complete a booking.
If you proceed to book, personal information such as traveler name, email address, payment details, phone number or billing information is generally collected in the third-party booking path, not by the static editorial pages of Hotel-Room.com. The privacy policy and terms shown in that booking path govern the provider's handling of reservation data.
How Hotel-Room.com uses information
- To provide the hotel search or nearby search you requested.
- To maintain the security, reliability and performance of the website.
- To remember privacy and cookie preferences.
- To troubleshoot errors and investigate abuse or automated misuse.
- To understand site usage in aggregate when optional analytics are permitted.
- To comply with applicable legal obligations and enforce site terms.
How information may be shared
Information can be shared with service providers when necessary to operate the website or fulfill the feature you requested. Examples include web hosting and infrastructure providers, BusinessHotels.com for live hotel search and booking access, Google Maps/Places for location or property identification, and the travel provider that ultimately processes a reservation.
We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with law, respond to valid legal process, protect users or the service, investigate fraud or security incidents, or address misuse.
Sale, sharing and targeted advertising
Hotel-Room.com is not designed around selling visitor profile information for monetary consideration. We do not intentionally require behavioral advertising in order to use the core hotel-search experience. Third-party booking and mapping services may have their own data practices, and you should review their policies when you use those services.
Retention
Retention depends on the type of information. Browser consent preferences can remain until cleared or replaced. Security and web-server logs may be retained for a limited operational period consistent with hosting, security and legal needs. Third-party reservation data is retained under the policies of the provider that processes the booking.
Security
We use reasonable technical measures intended to protect the site and limit unnecessary collection. However, no website, network transmission or storage system is guaranteed to be completely secure. Travelers should avoid entering sensitive information anywhere other than an authorized secure booking or payment page.
Your privacy choices and rights
Depending on where you live, privacy law may provide rights such as requesting access, correction, deletion or restriction of certain personal information, objecting to certain processing, or receiving information about disclosures. Because much of the reservation information is handled by the booking provider rather than Hotel-Room.com, a request concerning a confirmed reservation may need to be directed to that provider.
You can control optional analytics through , clear browser storage, deny geolocation, or use the main destination search instead of the location-based tool.
Children
Hotel-Room.com is a general travel website and is not directed to children as an audience. We do not intentionally ask children to create profiles or submit personal information through the editorial site. Hotel reservations should be made by someone legally able to enter the applicable booking agreement.
International use and data transfers
Hotel search can involve providers operating in multiple countries. As a result, technical request data or booking information may be processed outside the country where you are located. Third-party providers are responsible for the safeguards applicable to the information they process.
External links
Hotel-Room.com links to booking providers, maps and other external websites. Once you leave Hotel-Room.com, the destination site's privacy policy and security practices apply.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update this policy as the site, integrations or legal requirements change. Material updates will be reflected by changing the date shown at the top of this page.
