I’ve stumbled upon a really cool website (CompareHotel.com.my ) and i would like to share it with you guys. Avid travelers especially would be interested in this website.

It has somewhat been quite useful for me since i am planning a trip to Bangkok and Chiang Mai on February next year and looking for a affordable but comfortable inn or hotel at the most convenient area in Bangkok has proven to be quite an arduous task. There are so many hotels and guest houses in Bangkok, it could drive a mind crazy!  A tap on the google search button will return like thousands of sites or blogs suggesting different hotels and the rates together with different reviews from tourist or travelers (mostly useless since some of the reviews are outdated). It isn’t my idea of a good holiday by getting started with a headache of going through all the websites uno by uno.

With CompareHotel.com.my, all you need to do is to enter the check-in and check-out dates, number of guest(s), number of room(s) and of course the destination/city you intend to visit. CompareHotel would search over 30 top travel sites and also the sites of many wholesale online travel companies, travel agents and hotels on your behalf. The result is a wonderful and extensive list of hotels and inns/guest houses with information such as rates, ranks and popularity among other details. Alternatively, if you already have a hotel name in mind, just search using the name to get more information.

(If you want to know the agencies and companies which are searched, you can check it out on the website itself.)

For example, my search for Bangkok hotels returned an impressive list on 34 pages (500 hotels/inns).

Now i just have to sort it according to room price to get the lowest room rates in Bangkok.

What’s more interesting is that CompareHotel is currently running a ‘Review Me & Sponsor a Child Program for World Vision. Each review on CompareHotel will result in RM50 donations towards World Vision’s Child Sponsorship Program.

World Vision is a Christian relief, development and advocacy organization dedicated to work with children, families and their communities worldwide to reach their full potential by tackling the causes of poverty and injustice. Child Sponsorship Program helps provide necessities to the child, such as access to education, health care, immunisation, clean water and also support vital development work in the community of the child. Refer the flash demo for more details. This review campaign is open to blog with significant traffics. For every sponsored review, we will donate MYR50 to WorldVision’s Child Sponsorship Program. Our budget for this campaign is RM5000, for 100 blogs. Donation receipt will be forwarded to your email. We will forward a copy of children’s photos, details etc once we received from WorldVision. The review should contain more than 200 words with hyperlinks and images (e.g screenshots, banner etc) of www.CompareHotel.com.my Campaign period start from 20-Oct-2008 until further notice. The following bloggers have participated in WorldVision’s Child Sponsorship Program: Kenny Sia from www.Kennysia.com

Get on with it people!

Ps:// They might only approve blogs with significant traffic meaning this blog have like a zero chance of getting approve. But what the heck, the website is really useful and the program is for a good cause
