Launch of the Expedia‑Muse connection
Expedia confirmed that its partnership with Meta’s Muse agent is now active in the United States. The rollout follows a six‑week period after the companies first announced the integration.
Capabilities of the Muse agent
Travelers can describe destination, dates, and hotel preferences in plain language. Muse interprets the request and returns relevant Expedia hotel options, allowing a direct booking within the chat interface.
- Natural‑language search for hotels
- Instant booking confirmation through Expedia
Limitations and support process
The integration does not cover cancellations or re‑booking. Because Expedia remains the merchant of record, any post‑booking changes must be made through Expedia’s customer support, just as with a direct Expedia reservation.

Frequently asked questions
Can I cancel an Expedia hotel booked through Muse?
No, cancellations cannot be processed through Muse. You must contact Expedia’s customer support to cancel a reservation made via the Muse agent.
Is the Muse hotel booking feature available worldwide?
The integration is currently live only in the United States, so travelers outside the U.S. cannot book Expedia hotels through Muse at this time.
Do I need a separate account to book hotels with Muse?
No separate account is required; Muse uses your existing Expedia account details for payment and confirmation, just as a direct Expedia booking would.
What types of hotel preferences can I specify in Muse?
You can describe destination, travel dates, price range, star rating, and amenities in plain language, and Muse will surface matching Expedia hotel options.
Will booking through Muse affect the price I pay?
Booking through Muse does not change Expedia’s pricing; the same rates and fees displayed on Expedia’s platform apply to Muse‑initiated reservations.
