the search results, the User may apply filters that are based on the relevance
of the search and on other parameters. Relevance is given by factors such as
price, availability, reviews, customer support and chronology of cancellations,
popularity, previous trips and saved notices, the advertiser’s requirements
(for example, the minimum or maximum number of nights) and more besides. To learn
more about search results, visit our support centre.
