TBHOLIDAY
This is a great site for hotel bookings in the Philippines. Normal rates are competitive but they also frequently have sales with 20% off all hotels or 500 pesos off hotel bookings.
Right now with the 500 pesos off its a great time for booking budget hotels … standard rates at many hotels range from $15 to $30 before the discount, so a 500 peso saving is quite significant - A $20 hotel comes down to around only $7. Choose the right place and for that money you get a clean and comfortable hotel maybe even with breakfast included.
For higher end hotels, wait for their frequent 20% off sales to get a better discount (but check the hotel comparison sites first as there is a much greater variation in rates and discounts elsewhere for higher end hotels in the Philippines)
The discount requires a minimum spend of 600 pesos before the discount and is per booking not per night - so if you need multiple nights book each as single night bookings to maximise the discount.
They also give you about 5% back in reward points that can be used on other bookings after your stay.
Some great % savings on there for budget travellers. If you can re-use the code as mentioned you can save heaps of money (these types of promotions are extremely rare these days). Too late for me though…
Unlike Sydney, you can even score reasonably priced NYE tickets in the Philippines right now.
