Let’s be real. Planning a trip must be exciting, but finding the right hotel can quickly change that excitement into headaches. You send your favorite booking website, full of optimism. “I’ll just find a fast, cheap room,” you tell yourself. Three hours later you are 57 tabs deep, staring at a blurry photo of a questionable ‘sea display’ room, and you have completely forgotten your own name. The endless scrolling, the confusing filters, the pop-ups that shout: “12 people are watching this now!”
I was stuck in this cycle for years. My vacation planning always started with a shock of excitement and quickly turned into a marathon of digital frustration. But recently I came across a new method, a secret weapon that the game has completely changed for me. I have said goodbye to the large booking platforms such as books and Expedia for my searches, and my travel plan has never been so fun or more efficient. My secret? I had a friendly AI already done the first leg work.
My personal travel assistant
My new process starts with TwinGoogle’s AI tool. Think of it as a super-smart travel agency that works for free and is available 24/7. Instead of trying to learn an awkward website what I want through a series of check boxes, I just have a conversation with it. I tell it exactly what I am looking for in just English, just as I would do with a person.
It is a refreshingly simple approach. I am no longer the one who does the heavy work, by scrolling hundreds of options that do not fit completely. The AI zift through the sound and presents a composite list of hotels that actually match my atmosphere and my budget. It is as if you have a personal caretaker who actually listens.
How to make the perfect prompt
The magic is all in how you ask. The more details you provide, the better your results will be. You can easily copy and paste the template below and fill in your own details. It’s so easy!
Here is an example of what I would type in the chat for a journey I have on Los Cabos:
- Destination: Los Cabos, Mexico
- Data from travel: August 8 to August 13
- Number of people: 2 adults
- Budget: About $ 300- $ 500 USD per night
- Facilities wanted: I want a beach front, all-inclusive resort with a swimming bar
- Location: Preferably within walking distance of the center of Cabo San Lucas.
- Room type: 1 king -size bed and swim if possible!
Within a few seconds a list of perfect options will be released, each with a small summary of why it is a great match. It could indicate a resort that is known for its incredible swimming bar and social atmosphere, while it emphasizes another that the exact Kingbed suite that I asked for, all only a short walk of the energy of the center. I have saved myself from annoying search for hours.
Finding the Rock Bodem Prize
Now for the last and most satisfying step. Once you have a few hotels that you are enthusiastic about, it’s time to find the absolute best price. This part is brilliantly simple and feels like the best travel so far!
- First, Choose your favorite hotel from the list Gemini gave you.
- Then open a new tab and Simply type the name of the hotel directly in the Google search bar. For example, “Corazón Cabo Resort & Spa”
- Voilà! Google will immediately pick up a special booking module that will show you all the different platforms with your chosen hotel. You can see prices of the hotel’s own website, booking.com, Expedia and others, all in one clean list.
- Finally, Enter your data and choose the cheapest option. Finished.
You have just bypassed all the filtering and scrolling on multiple sites and immediately jumped to the finish line. You not only saved a lot of time, but you have also ensured that you get the best possible price without having to manually compare different websites. It’s fast, it’s efficient, and I dare to say, it’s actually fun. Try it on your next trip; Maybe you just finish it with your old booking habits forever. If only we could do that for Airbnbs! Unfortunately not yet.
