Did you realise with Booking.com some hotels you actually need to pay for upfront rather than just reserve!
Had a very assertive conversation this evening with one group of hotels. They rang to ask me to pay, which I was happy to do BUT.... confirmation takes you to a VISA confirmation page and the box you need to CONFIRM drops off the screen so there’s no way you can!
Took the hotel agggggges to pick up and swore blind that wasn’t the case! If I turn up for my stay and I’ve no room available the shit is gonna hit the fan!! |

Yeah, this has happened to me before, but they tried to call me when I was abroad. Came home to find that I had no room and the only one they would give me was over five times the price. Hopping mad, I was! |

Ring the hotel and ask them to price match - as they have no fees to pay to the booking site they actually make more money and you don’t need to worry about being eother put in a shit room (happens all the time) or your booking cancelled sometimes without actually letting you know in favour of a direct booking (happens occasionally).
Some hotels will and some won’t but it is worth a call. |

you can message the booking.com help desk they are generally very helpful but if you havnt got a booking confirmation you havnt got a room, most hotels accept payment at desk but some of the supposedly cheaper deals require payment up front |

I once booked a room through Booking.com they phoned me the day before to tell me that they had over booked and my room wasn’t available. They offered me alternative options but none had a pool, so they found one that did that was considerably more expensive than my original booking but they refunded the difference. |
