Book hotel rooms across booking engines
Manus was tested on 11 hotel booking engines and got through date and room selection on 8, but handed back at payment details so no booking was completed.
Done withManus
- What they did
- Triptease gave Manus the same one-line prompt on each of 11 booking engines, asking for a room at a named hotel for September 15 to 17. Manus went to the hotel's own site first, then clicked through the date picker and room choice. It stopped at the guest and payment form so a person could enter details. It never held card details.
- How it went
- Manus succeeded on 8 of 11 engines, 3 of them with delays. It failed on D Edge and Travelanium because of CAPTCHAs, and on Simple Booking because of its date selector. Each time it fell back to Booking.com.
- Worth knowing
- Date pickers that show months side by side worked best. A length-of-stay picker or a CAPTCHA sent Manus to Booking.com, and it still can't finish payment itself.
