Booking Overnight Accommodation: Hotels, Guest Houses, Bed & Breakfast with Canny Compare

booking hotels

Finding booking details for hotels, guest houses and bed & breakfast is easy with Canny Compare.

If you select Compare from the main menu you enter the main page for finding all sorts of places, not just hotel accommodation. Hotels and lodging is the default selection, which includes bed and breakfasts and guest houses. You can change this to many other search options, such as restaurants, cafes, businesses, services and places to visit, to name just a few.

You can enter the name of the town or city in which you want to search. When you start to enter the name of the town a drop-down list of town names will appear. You should select the correct town from this list. If you like, you can also enter the name of the street, in which case the search is centred on the street. There is also the possibility to search at your current location, by selecting the blue Current Location button next to the town entry field.

You can also zoom the map in and out, either by using the scale displayed on the left side of the map or by using the mouse wheel or by pinching the screen on a mobile device.

Icons will appear on the map which represent the places you are searching for, such as hotels. If you click on the icon you will see more information about the place, such as its booking details, street address, telephone number, email address and website. You can use this information for making bookings with the place. We are intending to extend CannyCompare soon so that bookings can be made directly on the site.

Below the map you will see Google Street Views in all four directions north, east, south and west. The street views will change automatically when a different place icon is selected on the map. Thanks to Google for providing these maps.

You can select the Street View images with your mouse (or your finger on a mobile device) and move them around to get different views. There is also a button called Alternative Street View. If you select this you get a different view of the same place, taken from a slightly different perspective.

The Street Views are the default selection, but you will see a tab to the right called Details where you can get even more reservation and booking details for the place. You can read reviews about the place and see a slide-show of pictures of the place, if there are any.

You will also see a tab called My Selection. This can be used for temporary storage of the places you consider to be possibilities, until you have decided which is the best place to reserve. You can add places, such as hotels, to My Selection either from the Details tab or from the list of search results which are displayed down the right side of the main Compare page. You can then refer back to My Selection to decide which hotel booking you want.

We hope you enjoy using CannyCompare and that you find it useful for finding and booking hotels, accommodation, restaurants and other places. If you like it, please recommend it to your friends or link to it from other web sites.
