- Complete travel planning
- Recent trip plans
Complete Travel Planning
The TripHobo platform not only allows travelers to book upcoming hotel reservations, but it also serves as a complete travel planning platform. Those only interested in booking hotels will be able to take advantage of hundreds of thousands of listings in destinations worldwide. These hotel listings often times are featured deals, meaning users can book hotel rooms at a discounted rate for additional savings. For those interested in using the full capabilities of the TripHobo platform (rather than just book hotel accommodations), the process is relatively simple. Upon creating an account, users will simply follow a three-step process that takes the headache out of planning travel:- Designate Destinations - add destinations and the travel dates
- Add Attractions - users can choose from thousands of attractions and restaurants
- Book Rooms - search, compare, and then book hotels from 700,000 hotels worldwide
Recent Trip Plans
For those who are new to traveling or are looking for a little inspiration, TripHobo has a page designated to displaying recent trip plans and itineraries booked by their customers. These trip plans will help those who may not be aware of all a destination/city has to offer. The planning content will include information about the following:- Attractions
- Restaurants
- Hotels and Accommodations
- Flights
- Transportation
- Multi-modal Route Planning
- Transit Options
The Bad
- Rewards program
- Features and tools
- New to the industry
Rewards Program
TripHobo is proud of the fact that they are a "one stop" shop for travel planning and management. The service allows customers to book accommodations and other travel activities, but there is no additional reward for doing so. Other travel booking sites allow travelers to create an account and accumulate points and other travel discounts for booking through them. However, TripHobo does not offer that service at this time.Features and Tools
There are also a couple of missing features/tools often found on other travel site platforms. These are not necessary to booking quality hotel accommodations, or even finding room for a discounted rate. However, those who find these types of resources helpful may want to try another hotel booking site. These missing features include:- No deals page - users will not have the ability to quickly browse a single page to find the latest deals and discounts
- Comparison tool - travelers will also not be able to compare prices from a number of travel providers at once
New to the Industry
TripHobo is a relatively new service. It was officially launched in 2013. This does not mean that the TripHobo service is not as good as those that have been around for a longer period of time, but they have not created the same reputation amongst the travel community just yet.The Bottom Line
- Trip Planning Platform
- Book Hotels/Accommodations
- Comprehensive Mobile App
- Travel Advice/Tips
- No Rewards Program
