Questions, answered.
How GlobTrek works, how it makes money, and who to contact about a booking.
Is GlobTrek a Booking.com partner?
Yes. GlobTrek participates in the Booking.com Affiliate Partner Program. We help you plan the trip, then send you to Booking.com to check live availability and complete eligible stay reservations.
How does GlobTrek make money?
GlobTrek earns affiliate commissions: from Booking.com on stays and flights, and from WeGoTrip (through Travelpayouts) on tours and tickets. That's the only way GlobTrek makes money. GlobTrek may earn a commission from qualifying bookings. Compare the provider's final price, fees and terms before booking. You pay the travel provider directly. Read the affiliate disclosure.
Is it really free?
Yes. The quiz, your trip and saved trips cost nothing. You only pay the partner if you decide to book.
Are the prices exact?
No. Trip totals are estimates built from GlobTrek's planning averages for each destination, your trip length and the number of travelers. Live room prices and availability are on the partner's site, and those are the prices you pay.
Why only one trip?
Comparing dozens of options is the tiring part of planning. GlobTrek does that comparison for you and shows the trip that fits your answers best. If it isn't right, change one answer or retake the quiz.
Who books my hotel?
The partner does. GlobTrek never takes payment. When you continue to Booking.com, Booking.com handles the reservation, payment, changes and cancellations.
Something went wrong with my booking. Who do I contact?
Contact the company you booked with, because they hold your reservation. For stays booked on Booking.com, use Booking.com customer service.
How are destinations chosen?
Your answers about setting, pace, priorities, budget, timing and departure airport are compared with each destination's profile. Destinations whose estimated cost doesn't fit your budget are left out. A slider from hidden places to iconic ones sets how well known the result should be. More on how we pick trips.
How often is information updated?
Each destination's cost model carries the date it was last reviewed. Hotel prices are never stored as live prices: you see current rates on the partner's site.
What is the Booking Assistant?
An optional Chrome extension for computers. When you choose Book my trip, it opens each booking from your trip with GlobTrek's exact link and fills in your details where the partner allows it. It never books or pays for you, and your details stay on your computer. How it works.
Do I need an account?
No. An account is optional and only used to save trips. See what we store.
