Trip.com (the international arm of Ctrip) is undisputed as the best platform for booking hotels in China.

Comparison Breakdown:

Platform	Foreign Cards Supported?	Foreigner-Friendly Filter?	Customer Support
Trip.com	Yes (Fee-Free)	Built-in (100% Verified)	Excellent (24/7 English)
Booking.com	Yes	Decent, but some listings outdated	Moderate
Meituan / Ctrip (Local Apps)	Yes (via Alipay)	Hard to navigate in English	Chinese only

Why Trip.com Wins: Their inventory of Chinese hotels is massive, they guarantee the hotel will accept your passport, and their English-speaking customer support is highly effective at mediating with local hotel staff if any check-in issues arise.
