AFFILIATE DISCLOSURE

Booking links and our research

CheckInAge offers sponsored links to Expedia and Booking.com. We may earn a commission if you book through these links, at no extra cost to you. Official property-source links remain available separately.

Our booking partners

Expedia links currently cover 1040 exact properties, 2 hotel-name searches and 191 city searches. Each Expedia link is created in Expedia's own link builder and used exactly as returned. Booking.com links use the Booking.com North America affiliate program through CJ and open the matched hotel listing where its name and address have been verified. Unmatched hotels and city links open clearly labeled searches. CheckInAge is independent and is not part of, or endorsed by, either booking provider.

What the buttons open

• See prices & availability on Expedia and See prices & availability on Booking.com open the selected provider’s page for that exact property. On a hotel page, the mobile price bar and a guide’s hotel list, the same exact link is labeled with the provider name. CheckInAge does not show a price before you leave.
• Search <hotel> on Expedia and Find this hotel on Booking.com open searches for the hotel's name and location. Check that the property name and address match before you book; other properties may also appear.
• Search <city> hotels on Expedia and Browse hotels on Booking.com open city searches. These are not age-verified lists: the providers' search results are not checked against hotel minimum-age rules.

Where booking options appear

Hotel pages show booking options under the age answer and after the requirements. Search results, city, chain, nearby and policy listings show options beside the relevant hotel. City pages also offer city-wide searches. Guides show a short “next step” box right after the answer, with hotels whose official record lists a minimum age of 18 or lower and links to the relevant city pages, plus options for the hotels a guide names. Booking.com links are for US properties only. A commission disclosure appears beside each set of buttons. Links open in a new tab and are marked as sponsored. These options are not a complete comparison of available hotels or a claim that any option is the best or cheapest.

Booking links and age results

Booking links remain visible before and after an age check, while you edit inputs, and when the age result is below minimum, unknown, conflicting, conditional or expired. A visible button is not eligibility approval. Age and arrival edits clear the old checker result; submit again to calculate a new result. Read all age, ID, card and deposit warnings before booking. Expired policy evidence stays marked as needing a fresh check.

Ranking, prices and availability

Search results use the documented age result, then the property name. Having an affiliate link does not change search order, distance-based nearby listings or the policy evidence. A listed minimum age does not confirm photo ID, payment-card presentation, deposit requirements or permission for your whole arrival arrangement. CheckInAge does not display live room prices, availability or cancellation terms. Choose your dates, occupancy and currency on the booking provider's website, then review taxes, mandatory fees and cancellation terms there. Opening a sponsored link is an outbound click, not a completed reservation or a check-in guarantee.

How we measure clicks

We count hotel page views and booking-link clicks on our own server, grouped by hotel or city, page area, booking provider and which provider is listed first. We do not count button impressions in that comparison, and we do not count views or clicks from crawlers, headless browsers or known datacenter networks. We do not attach a visitor identifier, age or arrival date to these counts. A first-party preference remembers whether Booking.com or Expedia is listed first so the two orders can be compared; it is not a visitor identifier. Optional stay dates and adult count are added only to Booking.com links when you enter them, and are not stored in these counts. Expedia links are used exactly as created. The booking provider and affiliate network process the outbound visit under their own privacy policies. See the privacy page.
