Once you\u2019ve opened the full Google Hotels search console, you\u2019ll be able to customize a whole range of filters and options. These include the city, the dates of the stay, and the number of people in the booking, as well as a slider for setting the price range.<\/p>\n

Other filters include guest ratings of hotels and a range of hotel amenities like Wi-Fi, swimming pools, TV etc. As well as guest ratings, the search engine will also be able to filter by official star rating and will also include an option to search for vacation rentals rather than hotel rooms.
