I like them, you pay a bit more to not pay in advance and get free cancellation but to me it's worth it.

Yep. Use them fairly regularly. Never a problem.

I've had good and bad experiences with them. No problems up until last year.

The hotel was filthy and didn't provide the breakfast I'd already paid for. Booking wouldn't do anything. Not even refund the breakfasts.

It was only 2 nights so we stuck it out but I wish I'd had the patience and energy to fight our corner at the time.

Hit and miss

Couple of trips were fine, another planned trip to the US b4 covid cancelled our plans, the hotel took 2 payments off my visa and then after a couple of months asking for refunds, they closed their account and I couldn't get hold of them.. complained through booking and eventually Booking refunded me £1600

Always try to read reviews elsewhere as we noticed the reviews for the hotel we booked had similar words, didn't take a genius to work out they were fake reviews.

Yes, definitely worth doing this. And always street view the area as we got stung once in Paris with a hotel nowhere near as nice as we envisaged. That said in years of using them that is only 1 of 2 bad experiences and most hotels have matched the views

I've used them for years and not had any problems at all. Good that you can often pay slightly more but have free cancellation.

Always had a good experience with them. Sometimes cheaper than booking direct with hotel. Always good for late availability rooms..

Not a fan. And not always cheapestm More leverage as a customer if booking directly, plus benefit from frequent customer loyalty schemes and benefits.

Always use either them or Agoda when travelling. Sometimes get some good last minute deals.

Same.

Also the reviews are pretty accurate, filter by newest.

I’ve used them and air bnb but if I like a place when I stay there I will obtain the owners direct contact details and usually get a better price for any return visit.

I have used them many times with no problems, Just check the hotel out before you book by reading the reviews normally give you a good indication of what it is like,

I wonder why do many hotels say its cheaper to book it online than call them or simply walk in and pay

Used them a few times but found they are not always cheaper, hidden costs of car parking which you get free if booking direct with hotel.
