Gekko.com Gives Spot on Hotel Recommendations in Two Clicks

New Address Book Feature Makes it Easy to Share Personal Recommendations With Friends

LONDON, December 16 - Gekko (www.gekko.com), a new concept in hotel search, has today
unveiled a brand new version of its website (www.gekko.com) which
finds places that match a user's taste.

According to research from the Halifax, around 2.5 million Brits are
planning to flee the country this Christmas but finding the right place to
stay is never easy. A report published earlier this year by market research
experts Forrester showed that only one in three online bookers are satisfied
with the way travel websites present travel choices. The new Gekko.com takes
the pain out of finding the right hotel at the best price by instantly giving
users recommendations that are spot on.

Users enter a favourite hotel and Gekko shows them similar hotels in the
world's top destinations. They can then book their chosen hotel in complete
confidence that they will love their stay there. All hotels on Gekko can be
booked at the guaranteed best price.

Michel Cassius, Gekko's CEO, said: "Gekko is all about places. Our aim is
for users to stop searching and start finding their kind of place. We are
helping users find the right hotel for them with our Gekko recommendation
engine which is fuelled by the tastes of like-minded people."

"There is a huge hole in the market for a site that gives people complete
confidence in their hotel booking. Through innovative tools like our new
personal Address Book feature, Gekko.com gives travellers the ability to
discover great hotels and be sure that they have made the right decision," he
concluded.
