The aim of this study is to investigate the factors that influence customers' intention to book hotel rooms online using the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology. Specifically, the study will explore the impact of Performance Expectancy, Effort Expectancy, Social Influence, Facilitating Conditions, Habit, Price Value, Hedonic Motivation, and Perceived Trust in hotels across several states in eastern Algeria. To collect data for the study, a self-administered questionnaire was designed and distributed to a sample of 303 hotel users, and the data were analyzed using SPSS v.25. Findings show that customers' behavioral intention to book hotel rooms online is positively influenced by all the constructs of the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology. However, the degree of impact varies across the dimensions studied. The constructs that had the most significant impact on customers' behavioral intention were habit, social influence, hedonic motivation, and perceived trust. In comparison, Performance Expectancy, Effort Expectancy, facilitating conditions, and price value had a lesser impact. Based on these findings, the study offers theoretical contributions, practical recommendations for hotel managers, and suggests future research prospects.
