Used it for Melbourne and the service was good. Indeed, I lament the lack of such technology in our little country. check this site out – http://www.not1night.com.au/

Didn't include it because somehow it didn't appear in the first page of results when I used Google to search the keywords above and it also wasn't on the sponsored listings. Is it because of the Ajax that is being used that is not giving the site any search engine love? I actually think Bezurk is a great site if I already know where I want to stay and looking to book at the lowest prices because Bezurk aggregates that information from quite a few booking sites. However, the site suffers from similar issues for first time Singapore visitors. The information for the hotel does not help me decide which want to stay in. I will elaborate more on this with my next post when I share about how I chose the resort for my graduation trip. Thanks for taking time to leave a comment. Also, congrats on appearing in Business 2.0. Hello Arun,

Bezurk.com is a travel meta-search engine which lets you search for hotels and flights (with a focus on Asia and Australia), and our coverage of Singapore hotels is very extensive. You can check it out yourself at http://www.bezurk.com/hotels/singapore/singapore We'd definitely love to hear your take on our hotel search web app. Please do visit our blog at http://blog.bezurk.com for news and product updates as well.
