How Trip.com’s Hotel Price Difference Refund Works

Ever booked a hotel, felt happy with the deal… then later realized the price dropped? That sinking feeling is real, but with Trip.com’s Hotel Price Difference Refund Policy, you don’t have to worry anymore.

If the price of your hotel room drops after you book, you can apply for a refund of the difference and get the savings back in Trip Coins.

It’s Trip.com’s way of making sure you always get the best possible price for your stay.

Whether you’re planning a weekend getaway, family vacation, or business trip, this guide will show you how to use this feature the smart way.

What's a Price Difference Refund All About?

Trip.com’s price difference refund is part of its Best Price Guarantee.

If you spot a lower price for the exact same room after you’ve booked, Trip.com will refund the difference in Trip Coins, which can be used for future hotel, flight, or attraction bookings.

This means you can book early stress-free and still benefit if prices drop later.

When Can You Apply?

You can submit a request:

From the moment your booking is confirmed until 12:00 PM on the day before check-in.

Once that deadline passes, the claim window closes, so it’s always a good idea to check prices again a few days before your trip.

What Needs to Match?

Hotel Price Match Promise

For your claim to sail through smoothly, every single detail needs to be an exact match – we're talking 100% identical, not just 'almost' or 'similar'!

If any of these details don't match, your request may be rejected.

Who Might This Feature Not Be For?

The price difference refund does not apply to:

• Bookings paid with Trip Coins
• Redeem Your Points for Amazing Trips!
• Exclusive private rates
  

These bookings already come with special benefits, so they aren't covered by the guarantee.

How Much Can You Get Back?

Here’s how the refund rules work:

Once your refund is approved, your booking must remain unchanged—otherwise, the refund will be canceled.
