How Long Does the Bidding Process Take?

Last updated July 3, 2026

Typical Timeline

The name-your-price process on hotelhaggle is fast:

Submission

Instant — your offer goes to hotels the moment you submit it.

First Responses

Most hotels respond within 24-48 hours. Accepted offers and counteroffers start appearing on your dashboard within the first day.

Negotiation Phase

For counteroffers, our team negotiates with hotels to close the gap. This adds 1-2 days.

Final Responses

Within 2-4 business days, you will have all responses on your dashboard, ready to compare and book.

Factors That Affect Timing

  • Offer realism: Offers closer to market rate get faster responses
  • Destination: Major cities respond faster than smaller markets
  • Time of year: Peak seasons may slow responses
  • Day of week: Mid-week requests often get faster responses than weekend ones
