booking.com price match

As any one had a problem with the prices of hotels booked a few months ago but found them cheaper. This has happened to me and although they have reduced one, i believe i am right with a further reduction from another site. to me the term and conditions are the same and so is the currency. They seem to be answering with a standard text. The one I am querying is with another big International website but in spanish. We are paying in euros. I have sent the spanish version and also googled tranlsated to English.

As any one had any problems

Although i saved the page with the different price as a PDF i am told that as i have not taken a screen print of the date and time i could have changed the details so they will not honor the reduced price.

So if you find prices reduced she recommended calling them immediately or take a screen print.

This has been covered a number of times on here. Once you book a holiday (or hotel, flight etc) and pay the price that you are happy to pay at the time, don't even bother going back to check it as you may be dissapointed if the price is reduced. Its the principles of a sale. Just because you buy an item does not mean that if the same item is later put on sale then you can ask for the difference to be refunded to you.
The principles of supply and demand mean that commodities like hotel rooms and seats on flights can go both up and down in price and the point at which you buy should be the point at which you are happy to pay the requested price for what you are getting.

Except that some merchants offer a price-match guarantee, so that if you can demonstrate that the same hotel was offered later at a lower price, they will refund the difference. This post is complaining that the guarantee was not honoured.

Ah I see, no problem old chap just trying to help. It would however help in future if posts could be written in legible English with at least some basic attempts at utilisation of grammar and punctuation.
