Hotels are often the most expensive part of any vacation, but that is no longer the case with this new money-saving website…oh and it’s completely free.

Have you heard of the new travel planning and hotel booking platform called Plannin?
It was designed to help you find all the hotels your favorite creators (like me 😉) have stayed at – with access to deep discounts (we’re talking up to 40% off compared to what you would find on other sites, like Booking or Expedia, for example)!
What is Plannin? Is it Legit?
It’s a hotel booking website that works just like your other favorite sites like Booking, Expedia or Priceline – in fact, it was founded by 2 former executives of Priceline.
Except the difference is, when you sign up for a free membership, you get immediate access to exclusive member deals that can be up to 40% cheaper than the exact same rooms on other websites.
And before you baulk at the idea of using a third party website, it was built in connection with creators, bloggers and vloggers like myself, who share reviews and content of the hotels they’ve stayed at.
So you can feel confident that the photos and videos and information is accurate and up to date.
Plus, most of the hotels offer free cancellation so it’s virtually risk-free.
Plus, many creators (like myself) have built our audiences based on trust. I only share things with my community that I’ve used and tested out myself.
How Does Plannin Work?
On Plannin, creators add their personal tips, photos, videos and things to know about their favorite hotels.
It’s a brilliant way to sift through all the impersonal and anonymous (and sometimes fake, AI-generated) hotel reviews on other sites.
But the best feature is that many of the 2 million + hotels worldwide are up to 40% less than the exact same hotels you’ll find on other sites.
All you have to do is create a free account and you’re all set to find great deals.
I’ve added all my favorite hotels I’ve stayed at so you can browse through my recommendations the next time you’re planning a trip!
If you’re planning an upcoming trip but haven’t booked your accommodations yet, take a peak around Plannin and see what kind of deals might be available for your destination.
I searched some random dates for April 28 – 30, 2024 and saw that the Cosmopolitan was on sale:
As you can see in the images above, the exact same room for the same dates is $109.87 cheaper than Expedia on Plannin!
Here’s a more affordable option in Las Vegas – the Flamingo Hotel (with one of the best pools on the Strip):
Again, the exact same room at the Flamingo is $39.25 less expensive than if you booked it through Booking.

How Much Money Can You Save on Hotels by Booking Through Plannin?
Here are some deals I’ve come across recently to give you an idea about how much money you can save by booking your hotel room on Plannin instead of other booking websites.
I played around with some random dates for the The Cosmopolitan Hotel in Las Vegas, and from August 19-22 on Plannin, you can get a room with a balcony for 585.63.
That’s $325.62 plus 260.01 in taxes and fees which is your resort fee and taxes.
Then, I went directly on the hotel’s website and for the exact same dates and the same room type, a terrace studio, it comes to $823.14.
So it’s 237 dollars cheaper by booking on Plannin.
Or, checking in on July 1 for 3 nights, on Plannin, it’s going to cost $559.65, on the Cosmo’s hotel website, it’s going to cost $861.69 – for a total of 302 dollars saved when booked on Plannin.
And this isn’t just for hotels in Las Vegas, there are over 2 million hotels worldwide.
Take Honolulu as another example. I punched in dates for a 3 night stay in September, and the Alohilani Resort looks nice, especially because I can see that 2 other creators have recommended it after personally staying there.
I want a king room with an ocean view, and with free cancellation up to 72 hours before, the total is 1605.08.
On the hotel’s website, I looked up the same dates, and the rate for the same room, an ocean view king is $2019.56.
And you still have to sign up for a free account anyway to get that rate, similar to Plannin. The same free 3 day cancellation policy applies.
So, again, I found a savings of $414 dollars.
As another example in Nashville, Waymore’s Guest House is a boutique hotel in the trendy east Nashville neighborhood and on Plannin, for 3 nights I found a deal on a King room for $734.73.
On the website the same room goes for $793.23.
