    Over 60?  Elderly?

    The OP knows how to win friends and influence people.

    Not.
    Certainly not on this forum.

    Crikey. Are over 60’s considered elderly now?! 😳
    No they most certainly are not 😹

    My dear OH says “old” is “20 years older than you are”.  He’s 77 in a couple of weeks.  If I call him old he gets upset.  I’m 73 in a couple of weeks and I’m most definitely not old.  Oldish maybe

    Why my wish to avoid Booking.com?

    Too many stories about the lack of interest taken by Booking.com in response to people's complaints about the condition of accommodation. I think that's enough reason.



    What about the many thousands of people who are satisfied (including me) who don't say anything about booking.com?

    Really?!? Booking.com handle around 1.5 MILLION hotel bookings EVERY SINGLE DAY... I would respectfully suggest that the number of negative stories you have read are infinitesimally tiny compared to the number of bookings they process.

    I remember when I hit 18. There was a younger girl in our group, who considered anyone over 18 old...

    I guess until OP comes back & answers questions. We are sat here having yet another debate 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️
