Visit

Who it suits

  • Travellers whose plans start with the hotel and add travel around it
  • People who want a mobile app for booking between plans
  • Groups comparing stays who read rate-specific terms closely

Who should look elsewhere

  • Travellers booking transport and stays together, who would be better served by momo or wayaway
  • People who need live chat or email support, which the alternatives such as 12go handle differently

The company behind it

Barcelo Hotel Group trades as BARCELÓ GESTIÓN HOTELERA S.L. and is based in Spain, with a founding year of 1931. It sells hotels, so the booking side of a trip stays in one place. Support runs on phone and help centre, and a mobile app covers booking away from a laptop. Terms are rate-specific, which is worth reading before you pay.

How Barcelo Hotel Group compares

Frequently asked questions

What does Barcelo Hotel Group actually sell?+

It books hotels. Everything on the site centres on the stay, so flights, rail and transfers are handled elsewhere. That keeps the choice simple, but it also means a full trip needs more than one site.

How long has the company been running?+

The group was founded in 1931 and trades as BARCELÓ GESTIÓN HOTELERA S.L., based in Spain. A long history says little about rate quality on its own, so read the terms attached to the rate you pick.

Can I cancel a booking?+

Cancellation depends on the rate, since Rate-specific conditions; no statutory right of withdrawal. Book a rate with its own terms spelled out and you know exactly where you stand. Flexible rates usually cost more at booking, so compare terms before price.

How do I reach customer service?+

Support runs on phone and help centre. There is a phone line and a help centre, which cover most questions about a stay or a booking change. Anyone who prefers live chat or email will need a different site.

Is there an app for booking?+

Yes, a mobile app is available, so rates and rooms can be checked from a phone. It works well for comparing options while travelling rather than sitting at a desk. You can also book on the site itself.

Can I book a whole trip here?+

No, the site covers hotels only. If you need transport, packages or tours alongside the stay, momo and wayaway list those products and can be worth a look for a full itinerary.

Who is this booking site for?+

It suits travellers who choose the hotel first and arrange the rest around it, especially anyone booking from a phone on the move. It is less useful for anyone who wants transport and a stay in one basket, or who needs live chat support.
