Any experience of using Booking.com? Are they good?

Hey

We used them to book 2 nights at the MGM Signature Las Vegas ... never had any issues.

Another thumbs up to Booking.com used them last year for Majorca and everything went smoothly.

used them before, i normally check out the usual suspect hotel sites. and quidco to get my 7-12% cashback

i always go on octopustravel / lastminute/ expedia/ tripadvisor / hotels / booking / and then when i've found my hotel i go on travelsupermarket as a final check

Then i go for the lowest price after cashback, although seem to remember hotels.com just take a security and then you pay at the hotel, so your cashback doesn't always work even if you use the same credit card (that is used as cashback verification)

For cheaper hostels / guesthouses i use hostelworld and hostelbookers

Used them before all ok!

I seem to remember from Trip Advisor forums that 'Booking' is fine but 'Bookin' was a scam site. Apologies if my memory fails me about this but a quick trip to TA to search for both names should bring up history.

Hope this helps.

I've used them in Dec & Jan and all good

Yep, I've used Booking.com a few times now. Always got what I expected and never had any problems,

Thanks all. Although some of their prices are a little higher, I like the idea of not losing all my money if we can't make it, especially in the light of the possible Spanish air strikes.

use them before, no problems. But they don't do Quidco, so using Hotels.com instead.

Used them many times-they are just an agent for the hotel. Unless you're buying on a special rate, you don't pay till check out and can usually cancel at the last minute. If you do have to pay in advance, the site will tell you.

You can get rooms cheaper, though you will usually have to pay all up front.

I'm very happy using it.
