DealBase shows real honesty: displays worst hotel deals
In many ways, travel deal site DealBase does what lots of other sites do - they collect the best deals, create a comprehensive listing for them, and publish these deals in an easy to navigate way. But that is where the comparison ends. In searching for the best deals, DealBase also publishes what they consider to be the worst deals.
Becase the site knows the average prices for these rooms, they also know perfectly well when a hotel has raised its prices beyond what is considered "normal".
Hotel package deals are one kind of "bargain" where customers are regularly taken for a ride, and when DealBase passes these deals through their Deal Analyzer, they break down the actual savings.
So, instead of blindly publishing a deal and hoping you'll fall for it, the site shows what the package value is, and how much you are not going to save if you purchase it.
Their "worst hotel deals" are all listed here, but if you don't like being ripped off, you can also navigate their best deals.
