Automatic Hotels.com Price Drop Alerts

Every morning, WebRun opens Hotels.com, checks watched hotels for a price drop against a booked or planned stay, posts the day's price movements to a Telegram group, and texts the traveler over Twilio when a deal is about to expire so it doesn't get missed.

In short

How do I get alerted when a watched Hotels.com price drops?

WebRun checks watched Hotels.com listings every morning for a price drop, posts the day's movements to a Telegram group, and texts the traveler over Twilio when a deal looks likely to expire soon. Travel coordinators catch a lower price the same day it appears instead of missing a limited time deal entirely.

  • Price drops are caught the same day they appear
  • Time sensitive deals reach the traveler by SMS before they expire
  • The travel group has a running record of price movement

Questions, answered

Will it book the hotel automatically at the lower price?

No. WebRun only reports the price movement. Booking or rebooking at the new price is always a decision the traveler makes.

How does it decide a deal is about to expire?

It watches how long a lower price has been showing and flags it once it looks time limited, based on the listing's own signals, not a guess.

How often is the price checked?

Every morning for every watched hotel, so a drop is usually caught and reported the same day it appears.

Put this on autopilot.
