Our Business Model

Having your properties listed on trivago is easy. Whether you are a booking site, hotel chain, or an independent hotel, you can advertise your rates on our platform.

trivago currently offers two marketplace models: CPC and CPA. In both cases, when one of our users clicks on your advertised rate, they are directed to your website where they can complete the booking. The main difference between the two models is that with the CPC (cost-per-click) model, advertisers are charged the amount they bid for each click, whereas, with the CPA (cost-per-acquisition) model, advertisers pay a pre-defined percentage on the value of a booking when one is made.

Connect with our users

With millions of monthly visits to our websites and apps, we believe trivago — a leading global hotel metasearch — is a valuable marketing channel for you.

We have dedicated sales teams that provide tailored advice to booking sites, hotel chains, independent hotels, and connectivity providers. They maintain ongoing relationships with you, to better understand your needs and objectives.
