How to book hotels with Bitcoin and Crypto: Complete guide

Finding a place to stay is straightforward. Paying with crypto usually isn't, because most hotels have no idea what a wallet address is. Cryptorefills sits in the middle: you book like you normally would, pay with crypto, and the hotel gets a standard payment on their end. Your booking confirmation arrives by email with the hotel's reference number, just like booking through any other platform.

How to book your stay with crypto

Step 1: Search for your destination and dates

Enter your destination, check-in and check-out dates, and number of guests to start your search.

Step 2: Compare available stays

Browse the results and filter by what matters to you: amenities like pools, parking or pet-friendly rooms, star rating, or cancellation policy. There are plenty of options, so use the filters to narrow things down.

Step 3: Choose your room

Most properties list several room types (single, double, suite, breakfast included, sea view or garden view). Check the booking terms too. If you want flexibility, pick a refundable rate.

Step 4: Pay with crypto

At checkout, select your preferred crypto as payment. USDT and USDC are the most popular choices for stay bookings. They settle fast and there's no price movement between search and checkout. BTC, LTC, SOL, TRX, TON and other coins are also accepted across a wide range of networks. Complete the transaction from your wallet or exchange and you're done.

Step 5: Get your confirmation

Once your payment confirms onchain, your booking confirmation arrives by email with the hotel name, dates and reference number.

Which crypto and networks can I use?

Cryptorefills accepts a wide range of crypto for stay bookings. Here's what to consider when choosing how to pay.

1. Stablecoins (USDT, USDC, PYUSD) are the most straightforward option for travel bookings. The price you see at search is the price you pay, with no volatility between clicking "book" and completing the transaction. Available on Ethereum, Polygon, Avalanche, Solana, Tron, Base, Binance Chain, World Chain and Arbitrum.
2. Bitcoin (BTC) is accepted via Lightning Network for fast, low-fee settlement. If you're paying with BTC, Lightning is the recommended route. Confirmation is near-instant and fees are minimal.
3. Other coins including LTC, SOL, TRX, TON and SUI are also supported. 

Which network should I use? If you're paying with a stablecoin, Polygon, Solana and Tron tend to have the lowest gas fees. Ethereum mainnet works fine but fees run higher. Check the estimated network fee at checkout before confirming. Cryptorefills shows this before you commit.

Why book stays through Cryptorefills

1. Access to over a million properties. From budget hostels to five-star hotels, the inventory pulls from major travel providers. You're not limited to a curated shortlist.
2. Same prices, different payment. You're comparing live rates from the same sources as mainstream travel sites. The difference is what happens at checkout.
3. No currency conversion fees. Booking internationally with stablecoins means you skip the foreign exchange markup that cards typically add on international bookings.
4. Booking confirmation works like any other platform. You get the property's own reference number. Check-in works exactly the same as a card booking.

Frequently asked questions

Can I book any hotel and pay with crypto?
Cryptorefills gives you access to a large global inventory of properties, the same stock you'd find on mainstream travel platforms. As long as the property appears in search results, you can book it and pay with crypto.

Which cryptocurrencies are accepted for stay bookings?

BTC (via Lightning Network), USDT, USDC, PYUSD, LTC, SOL, TRX, TON and more. Stablecoins are accepted across multiple networks including Ethereum, Polygon, Solana, Tron, Avalanche, Base, Binance Chain, World Chain and Arbitrum. 

Can I book a hotel with USDT?

Yes. USDT is one of the most widely used payment methods for stay bookings on Cryptorefills. Select it at checkout and choose your preferred network.

Can I find cheap hotel deals and pay with crypto?

Yes. The search pulls live rates from major travel providers, so you're seeing competitive market prices, not a crypto premium. Filtering by dates, destination and star rating works the same way it does on any travel site. Stablecoins also cut out the foreign exchange fees that card payments add on international bookings, which is where savings tend to add up.

What if I need to cancel?

Refunds follow the property's own cancellation policy. If you booked a refundable rate and cancel within the window, the refund is issued in crypto at the exchange rate at the time of refund. Always check the cancellation terms before booking. They're shown on the room selection screen.

What countries are supported?

Cryptorefills operates in over 180 countries. The stays inventory is global. If a property is bookable online, it's likely in the search results.

Something went wrong with my payment. What do I do?

If your transaction confirmed onchain but the booking hasn't arrived, contact Cryptorefills support with your transaction hash. The team can verify the payment and issue your confirmation. Don't rebook before checking with support.
