Our Answers:

1. How does escapio work?

escapio is a hotel price comparison platform for unique hotels worldwide.

As a comparison site, we check which booking portals, tour operators, or bed banks offer your personal dream hotel. We compare prices from over 50 leading hotel booking websites such as Booking.com, Expedia, or TUI in order to display almost all available market prices clearly on escapio. To complete your booking, escapio redirects you directly to the selected hotel booking website.


2. What makes escapio different from other price comparison sites?

The hand-picked selection of unique hotels curated by the escapio editorial team saves you time when searching. Honest hotel descriptions and customer reviews make it easier to choose your perfect dream hotel.

escapio therefore not only offers full price transparency, but also maximum added value through a carefully curated selection of the best hotels worldwide. All hotels featured on escapio must meet strict admission criteria. The decisive factors are quality as well as a consistent and compelling overall concept. In addition, escapio focuses on high-quality furnishings, a charming atmosphere, excellent service, outstanding locations, coherent design, and the highest level of guest satisfaction.

Currently, 6,000 accommodations in 50 countries are presented, including elegant luxury hotels, romantic country houses, stylish design hotels, historic castles, rustic wineries, Spanish Paradores, or Moroccan Riads.


3. Do I need a credit card to make a booking?

For the booking process, escapio redirects you directly to the selected hotel booking website or affiliate partner. Whether a credit card is required depends on the terms and conditions of the respective provider, which you can review there.


4. How can I find the best price for my desired hotel?

Enter your travel dates and number of guests on the hotel profile page. The price comparison starts immediately, and you will receive a list of all available offers. By clicking the “More offers” button, you can expand the list to view prices and offers from all providers.

You can then decide which provider offers the best conditions for you and proceed to the offer with one click.

Tip: Some hotels also offer their own special deals and packages. If this is the case, a link labeled “Book directly with the hotel” will appear, allowing you to access the hotel’s own website and exclusive offers directly.


5. Are the prices shown on escapio per person?

The given prices are the total room prices for the requested number of guests, including all board options and extras specified.


6. How can I cancel or change my booking?

After comparing prices, escapio always redirects users to the selected booking website. The booking itself is completed directly on that site. Therefore, for any changes or cancellations, please contact the hotel booking website through which you made your reservation.


7. How and when do I pay for my stay?

The available payment methods depend on the selected hotel and the terms and conditions of the chosen booking website. Please familiarize yourself with the provider’s terms and payment details before booking.

Important: You never pay escapio directly. Using escapio is completely free of charge.
