# Planning a trip on Booking.com

Planning a trip on Booking.com means comparing dozens of hotels across different neighborhoods, price points, and amenities. Screenshots and bookmarks don’t give you a clear comparison.

With **Add to Sheets**, you can save Booking.com hotel info directly to Google Sheets as you browse. Compare accommodations side by side and make informed decisions.

## Why Track Booking.com Hotels in Google Sheets?

- **Compare objectively** — Price, location, rating, amenities in columns
- **Share with travel partners** — One spreadsheet instead of forwarded links
- **Track price changes** — Booking.com prices fluctuate constantly
- **Plan multi-stop trips** — Different hotels for different destinations
- **Budget planning** — Calculate total accommodation costs for your trip, and feed the numbers into a [budget tracking spreadsheet](/content/blog/budget-tracking-for-couples/index.html)

## Pro Tips for Booking.com + Google Sheets

### Compare Across Platforms

For the best deal, track the same hotels on Booking.com and [Airbnb](/content/save/airbnb-to-google-sheets/index.html). Add a “Platform” column to compare pricing and what’s included. Hotels on Booking.com often include breakfast or have different cancellation policies than Airbnb rentals.

### Group Trip Decision Making

For trips with friends or family:

1. Share the sheet with everyone
2. Each person browses and adds hotels they like
3. Add individual vote columns (Alice’s Vote, Bob’s Vote)
4. Calculate average: `=AVERAGE(I2:K2)`
5. Sort by average vote to find the winner

### Track Price Changes

Booking.com prices change based on demand and availability:

1. Save a hotel with today’s date and price
2. Check back in a few days
3. Add a new row with the updated price
4. Book when you spot a drop

### Save Hotel Photos

Right-click hotel photos to save image URLs. [Display them in your spreadsheet](/content/blog/add-image-google-sheets/index.html) with `=IMAGE(url)` to help remember which hotel was which when deciding later.

## Save Hotels Faster with Quick Row Entry
