RoomAuction.com cleverly delivers something everyone wants – great value for money. They have tapped into the unused hotel inventory that plagues the hospitality industry, and they are sharing these potentially rock bottom room rates with anyone wise enough to listen. Here's how it works.

RoomAuction.com invites country house hotels, motels, B&Bs and luxury resorts to sign up on their online booking website. Now here's the thing – prices are as flexible as the ebb and flow of fluctuating demand. So, on a wet Sunday in January you'll probably get a rock bottom price that's up to 50% off the going room rate. All it takes is a cheeky bid from you, and the hotel will respond within 24-48 hours. And why wouldn't they take a low offer in order to keep their staff busy and their rooms occupied? After all, that's what their business is all about. Meanwhile, astute travellers get to stay in a luxury hotel of their choice for much the same price as a lower rated lodging. It's win-win; the hotel has an additional room filled and you can enjoy all the extras that come with an upscale hotel room or luxury suite. Your family, friends and significant other are sure to be impressed when they see where you choose to stay!

Like all successful business models, RoomAuction.com allows the market to set the price. While other hotel deals advertise a discounted price with a take-it-or-leave-it attitude, RoomAuction.com invites you, the guest, to enter the amount you wish to pay for your chosen hotel room. Whether you're a feet-on-the-ground realist with a fixed budget, or someone who likes to take a chance and see what life throws back, RoomAuction.com has to be the best way to get a great deal on your next hotel booking.

Sneaky Ways to Get the Lowest Prices on RoomAuction.com

Insider knowledge from the hospitality trade tells us that Sunday nights generally have the lowest occupancy, while Saturday nights are the busiest, so it makes sense to include a Sunday night in your booking request. Of course, this applies to popular places for weekend breaks, such as the Lake District or Brighton. However, some top city hotels are filled with business guests on weekdays but slump at weekends, so there's always the exception to the rule. The second tip is to dangle the carrot of additional business. Tick the box to say you wish to dine at the hotel, and that will significantly increase the chance of your low-ball bid being successful.

Finally, book as close as possible to the required date for maximum effect. If this makes you nervous, bid on several hotels at different price levels. Once you have received some positive responses, you can pick the lowest offer and decline the rest. It's all part of the room auction game, but if you don't play you can't expect to win.

Why not log on to RoomAuction.com and pitch a few bids to see just how easy it is to get a top-notch hotel room at a bargain price? You're not obliged to accept any offers - just try it out and see what savings you could make. Huge savings allow you to take more romantic weekend breaks or family vacations in the future. You can even use RoomAuction.com for international city breaks and exotic holidays abroad as they currently have over 55,000 hotels in 170 countries from Scotland to Samoa.

With zero booking fees you have absolutely nothing to lose, so roll the dice and play the game. RoomAuction.com is ready to deal!
