A money-saving expert has revealed a hack that can save you hundreds of pounds when booking a hotel.
With the summer holidays coming up, many people will be going away either on a staycation or abroad.
Holidays can be incredibly expensive so it can be good to try and save money where possible.
ITV presenter and content creator Jordon Cox, who is also known as the "Coupon King", has shared the tip in a video online.
How to save money when booking a hotel
Jordon shared the hack in a video on Instagram and explained how people should be taking advantage of free cancellation policies that many hotels have.
You can easily look for the same booking closer to the time of your trip to check if it has dropped in price.
While not every hotel will offer free cancellations, Jordon said the hack has helped him save £400 in the past.
The caption read: "Hotels DON’T Want You To Know This Hack.
"If you book a hotel stay which includes ‘Free Cancellation’ - you could use this as a trick to save you money.
"Even after you’ve booked, check back at the website you booked through to see if prices change.
"If the price drops, you can cancel your original booking, get your money back, and rebook at the cheaper price!
"It’s worth having a look at prices around 2 months, 2 weeks and 5 days before you travel (although check when your last day for free cancellation is. Most are up to about 48 hours before).
"I once got £400 off a week’s hotel stay by using this trick.
"So it could pay a lot to check!
"It won’t work every time, but set a reminder in your phone, and spend a few minutes to potentially save £100s!"
Jordon went on to say that the hack can also work for car hires too.
People who have tried this hack out before have said it helped them save hundreds of pounds.
