I booked through them last year and it was the last time: not only are their commissions outrageous (same for airbnb) but also very questionable practices when it comes to paying the properties since they handle every aspect of the booking. Also usually cheaper if you call direct 😜

Travel website Booking.com leaves hoteliers thousands of dollars out of pocket

As the website boasts about increased revenue, some partners say they have not been paid for months

Hadn't seen that article! That's appalling.
