Similar Hotels API - Explore Alternative Accommodation

Request the documented similar-property suggestions for hotelId and future checkIn/checkOut dates, with optional adults and currency. Start with a real hotel-search result and keep the intended stay context. The operation is intended to suggest similar hotels in the same area or category; its actual response fields, similarity criteria and ranking have not been independently verified. Compare only returned attributes, validate candidate property identifiers before follow-up requests, and check each alternative's stay-date pricing separately. A suggestion does not establish equivalent amenities, lower cost, available rooms or a measured distance from the original property.

API Features

Known-hotel recommendation anchor Use the selected hotelId as the starting point for alternatives instead of issuing an unrelated destination search.

Alternative stay-context inputs Provide checkIn/checkOut and optional adults/currency for the traveler's planned stay while exploring substitute properties.

Attribute-based alternative comparison Compare the candidate details actually returned without assuming an undocumented similarity score, radius or recommendation order.

Candidate price confirmation Recheck each promising alternative's dated prices before presenting it as cheaper, available or equivalent to the original choice.

Use Cases

Offer substitute properties when a shortlisted hotel does not meet a traveler's preferences, checking each candidate's available attributes.
Create a side-by-side alternative accommodation list anchored on a hotel the traveler already recognizes.
Collect candidate property IDs for subsequent stay-date room-price lookups rather than declaring recommendations immediately bookable.
Explain tradeoffs among returned alternatives without promising equivalent amenities or an undocumented similarity ranking.

Frequently asked questions

What prior data is needed to request similar hotels?

Obtain a real hotelId from hotel search and supply the planned checkIn/checkOut dates, retaining optional adults and currency where useful. Inspect returned attributes and candidate IDs before requesting details or room prices; do not guess property identifiers from names.

Are similar hotels necessarily cheaper, closer or identically equipped?

No. Actual fields, similarity criteria and ordering have not been independently verified. Suggestions do not guarantee available rooms or a measured distance. Compare only returned attributes and separately confirm dated prices and terms for each candidate of interest.
