    Booking.com fucked us on a hotel reservation.

    We booked the hotel, got an email saying “Your reservation is confirmed, no need to call the hotel and confirm.”

    We showed up at the hotel… Booking.com never confirmed it with them. Hotel was booked, we had no room.

    So we sat in the parking lot for an hour talking to customer service. They did get us a room at a more expensive hotel and covered the difference in price, but Jesus, not a good look.

    The first hotel told us Booking.com does this all the time.

    Booking dot… (sigh) yeah.

    Also in Japan? Boy they sure seem to have trouble paying everyone. There’s no news about their financial status?

    They also double dip on the other side, the amount they charge is not always the amount you click on. Several times they add a few bucks and you have to go thru hoops to get it back, most wouldn’t bother. But it would add up over a lot of accounts. Wouldn’t be surprised to see a class action spring up, no way it was just happening to me.
