Booking .com

Hello
I have just booked 3 nights in a hotel in Sharm el Sheikh.
Their price said 103 pounds, but they have charged me 134.
I cannot find an email address for them.
Does anyone know how I can contact them?
I am in Egypt now so don't want to phone them.
Thanks

    Don't worry about it, it will gradually fall off the page.

    Hi
    As I said, Booking.com said 103 pounds, then charged me VAT and taxes and it came to 134.
    The same hotel. same dates, with Travel Republic, is 108.
    So I booked with Booking.com.
    But Travel Republic say 108 is what you pay.
    Just wanted to check they don't add on extra fees like Booking.com.
    Thanks
  • Booking.com don't add any charges on, only the hotel can do that.  Travel Republic don't have live prices or availability so what you're seeing may, or may not be available.

    So why am I am paying 134 pounds for a 3 night stay with booking.com, and Travel Republic and Quickrooms are only charging 108 for the same dates?

    Perhaps TR and Quickrooms also have local taxes to add. Difference then £5.
    As you say you are already in Egypt. It’s done now. Probably time to move on.

    Again - They're both only agents who dont have live pricing and availability. The price you're seeing may not be the actual price.
