For hotels in Southeast Asia, I recently used Traveloka and found that they offer much lower rate than major booking sites(Expedia,Hotels.com,Agoda).On top of that,they often have coupon codes that allows you to save even more

one example,a 4 star hotel was priced at 443 nett, at Traveloka it was 319, and with a 30% coupon it became 226



In addition I also used hotel price comparison sites like HotelsCombined,Trivago to find the best deals

sometimes i would book direct with the hotel if i am sure that they would honour their Best Rate Guarantee (certain hotels have Best Rate Guarantee which offers 50% off 1st night if you can find a lower price room rate on similar terms and inclusion)
