What does the label "Value price" after the name of a room or accommodation mean?

A few accommodations/rooms appear twice in the accommodation overview, once with "value price" and once without. Provided the room description is identical, we can offer you the same room at an especially low price. The two accommodation listings are of equal quality. Therefore, we recommend that you always check availability in the "value price" accommodations first. More information about searching for available rooms can be found here.
