“Life at trivago” #1: events

trivago is the largest hotel price comparison in the world, with more than 100 booking sites and over 500,000 hotels working to find your  ideal hotel for the best rate available. To make sure this happens, we have a hard-working team of more than 140 young, creative individuals, from over 27 countries around the world. On our facebook page under, “life at trivago" you can have the first glimpse of what happens in the office – and day-by-day we'll tell you even more via our blog. A large brand can sometimes be mistaken as a very serious, intimidating, money-making machine— but at trivago, this philosophy could not be further from the truth! Below, you can see some examples of how hard work and fun can live together and in turn create one successful company.

A warm welcome to the trivago fans!

It’s a great pleasure and honour for us to welcome you to the new trivago official Facebook fan page. Well… we are not really new here, as someone of you may have noticed - we had more than 15 local, semi-official and unofficial profiles already open, but until now not yet the ONE. We are in FB version 1.0 and have a lot still to come (challenges & more...), but we hope you already like this new layout!
In a period of new and big challenges (google+ is ready to be launched, as well as other social networks and mobile apps yet to come...), we thought it was the right time and place to open a direct channel of communication with our users, who we don’t yet know directly because trivago, as a Hotel price search, doesn’t have a direct customer relationship with them.
