About these rates

Where the prices come from

Rates come live from our hotel supplier for the dates and guests you choose, and are re-checked every few minutes. They include the taxes the supplier includes; anything paid at the hotel is shown separately.
When our supplier gives the hotel’s public rate, that’s what we show, rounded up to the whole dollar: never less. Otherwise it’s the net rate plus our margin. Booking on this page isn’t open yet: ask us and we’ll help you book, or price a family week in the calculator.
Shabbat details come from community and hotel sources named under each hotel, with the month we checked them. Ask the hotel to confirm before you book.
