Travala is a Next-gen Online Travel Agency (NOTA) which has just entered the space, and already has over 567,000 hotels in 210 countries, with plans to have add a further 1 million properties next month.
Seems they are on average 15% cheaper than booking.com in all my searches, however if you search for hotels within the next 2 months, you can really get some ripper savings.
I've provided some examples of searches below, which as I said, are mostly for travel within the next 2 months, however I am sure many of you can search and see if you can find any bigger savings!

They have a great referral system up and running as well, which should appeal to all OzBargainers. For every person you refer that spends $50 in on a booking, you will receive $20 of their travel credits (AVA) to use on your next booking.
Mod: Removed referral link
I'll check the prices later. Someone set up ozbargain referral page?
