Google Testing Date & Occupancy Selector For Hotel Queries

Google seems to be testing showing a date picker and occupancy selector for searches related to hotel queries. I have not been able to replicate this, I have tried over the past few weeks without luck.

But Saad AK spotted this and posted about it on Twitter – here is a screenshot from his videocast:

Here are his videocasts:

I saw Date Picker Drop-Down and Guest Occupancy Picker (Drop Down) in Search.

I have never seen this before.

I asked some hotel SEOs if this was new, and they said yes:

New to me! I have not seen refinement bubbles filters for dates and nu. of guests below the search box. Both filters are part of the Hotel Local Pack though. I cannot replicate this either.

I guess this makes sense, if you are looking for a hotel, you probably want it for a specific date range.
