Booking Now hotel app

This item appears on page 22 of the December 2015 issue.

The Booking Now app, by Booking.com, facilitates reserving hotel rooms around the world within 48 hours of check-in time. 

When searching for a room, a user can specify hotel room preferences, including price range, Wi-Fi availability and having meals included in the price. The app can also use GPS to find the hotels meeting the user’s preferences nearest to his location and then give directions to the chosen hotel.

The Booking Now app also has access to user ratings and reviews on Booking.com. It is available for free for iOS and Android and requires an account with Booking.com to use.
