    Is there a way to try out the system, without actually doing the booking? And without joining?

    I’m curious, but I’m not going to join yet another service just to try it out and see that I don’t like it.

    It seems to me like you should integrate the booking and joining phases. The process of doing the booking also automatically signs you up as a member.

      Thank you for being the first to comment. You are right, sign-in is a real barrier. Hotel price come with some very stringent rules that make smaller players like Kinsona park their prices behind firewall. This is not my choice. I will be happy to add a sample link to a receipt. In that way, you can see the idea without joining. The sign-in right now takes about 30 sec and I can try to make it as quick as possible.

        I want to test a hotel where I know exactly what was on offer, where it was, and how much it cost me. So, a sample from your archive isn’t going to help.
