    5 Stars WHATEVER TICKLES YOUR FANCY IN HOLLAND 22/01/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Quick, convenient

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None that I am aware of

    or Norway, Spain, Portugal, Turkey or even the UK come to that. Fancy something a little more exotic - like Africa or the Americas, well you could possibly do a lot worse than visiting this site. www.bookings.nl has been around for quite a few years (1996), initially designed specifically for hotels in the Netherlands. During that period, its facility has become more sophisticated and expanded its beady eye to cover hotels throughout the world, although having not tried any other locations I can only vouch for Amsterdam at the moment. I am sure however, with my wanderlust it will only be a ... more

    5 Stars The best hotel website around 26/07/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Easy to navigate, clear information and good independent reviews

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Too many hotels to choose from!

    so many places to visit so little time There are literally hundreds of search engine type websites to help you choose everything you need for your holiday from hotels to car hire and flights. In this day of technology making everything supposedly easier for us with such a large selection it's sometimes hard to know which one to choose. For me when I'm looking for a hotel I always use booking.com to make my selection as it's the one I trust the most and the one I think is most user friendly. The website is a hotel search engine where hotels and guest houses pay to advertise their accommodation ... more

    5 Stars Book a dutch treat. 04/06/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages No advance payment

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None apparant

    My son and his partner recommended me to this site as they always used it for there hotel bookings. They go to Amsterdam quite regularly and once they went to Naples. *** THE WEB SITE *** Very simple to log in . www.bookings.nl is all that is needed. You are then into the home site. It comes up in the Dutch language at first which can seem a little daunting. To find your own language you need to click on your home flag which is near top left . Obviously the Union Jack for English. Once you have got the one you require then you need to look for the Search for hotels section. You now have a ... more

    5 Stars Booking accomodation for a reasonable price 03/09/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages easy to navigate and to book, don't charge anything, good prices

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none

    I used www.booking.com about 10 times in the last 5 years. We were in Prague, London, Strasbourg, Paris, Bourges, Nice, Orleans, Lido di Jesolo (some places for multiple plies). We booked our accommodation for our honeymoon as well via booking.com. The site When you click on http://www.booking.com you can see an orange rectangular panel. You have to fill the destination and the checking in and checking out dates. Press the Search button. Then if you wrote a large city like Paris there are some choices you can select from. There are the airports, so if you want a hotel near the CDG you have to ... more

    1 Star Booking.com helps hotels cheat customers. 23/08/2007
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages extensive database of hotels, many quite inexpensive

    Disadvantages Disadvantages if a hotel cheats you, they will apologize, but do nothing.

    Booking.com: Colluding with Corrupt Hotel Owners to Cheat Customers? I am sorry to have to write this review, but I have tried for months to get Booking.com to address my complaint. I have reserved rooms using this service in the past, and have been very pleased. This, however, came to an end this summer. I booked a room at the Travel Inn in Reykjavik, only to find, upon arrival, that my wife, son, and myself were escorted to a car with no explanation. Eventually the clerk told us that we would be driven to the "other" location. The Travel Inn has, it seems, bought space in the Pavi Guesthouse ... more

    5 Stars Will always be booking.com 08/04/2012
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Fast, easy to navigate, secure booking, large search database

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None

    ~~Personal use of the website~~ I was recommended to look on this site by a friend when I was going to Edinburgh and needed accomodation on a budget. When I went on the site I found it simple to use and the best offers were clearly visible. It was hard to believe it searched through so many different accomodation providers as it brought up the results so quickly. Before reserving a room I checked back on the website periodically to see how the rates changed and I noticed they didnt change for afew weeks so I thought Id better reserve the cheapest room on that date before they all went. Once Id ... more

    1 Star Overpriced rooms with untrustworthy categorisations 28/02/2009
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages None

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Discount rates in fact overpriced. Classifications untrustworthy. Price guarantee with no value.

    Warning - Booking .com advertices rooms at as much as 70% discount, when you in fact may end up paying +30% of the going rate. The categorisation you see is managed by the hotels themselves and may be completely untrustworthy. Read our story below... We booked Prisma Caribe, playa del Carmen through their internet service in good trust since they guaranteed the lowest prices. Upon arrival we were presented for the bill, which turned out to be 130 us $ which was + 30% of the hotels normal rate of 100 us $. To ad to the pain the hotel was far from the 4 star category promised; -Shabby interior ... more

    1 Star the horrific upgrade 18/07/2011

    Advantages Advantages location

    Disadvantages Disadvantages no late dining, needs a updte

    The Grand Plaza Apartments was booked based on the hype on booking.com , it was almost like a auction. I happen to take a room for 3 even though there were only 2 of us simply because I know in general that British hotel rooms are small. This particular room I chose because it was quoted as 300ish down to 2 rooms available and a special price of 117 uk pounds, Upon our arrival, I was given a upgrade to a quadruple, first floor next to the dumpster. From my point of view , I cant even imagine what our room would have been without a upgrade. Because we arrived late we needed sleep then food ... more

    4 Stars Blue Rainbow Apartments 28/07/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages in city centre, plenty of space

    Disadvantages Disadvantages really warm, lights in bathroom really dim

    We decided to stay at the Blue Rainbow apartments in Manchester as a change from staying in a hotel when visiting family. We stayed in a 2 bedroom apartment for £100 a night. This price included bread, butter, tea, coffee, cereals and a pint of milk. The apartment was large, with 2 decent sized bedrooms, though they are not the biggest Ive ever seen. One bedroom has an en-suite bathroom, with just a shower, sink and toilet. There is also another bathroom complete with a combined bath and shower. The kitchen is compact but has everything you need, including a dishwasher and combined washing ... more

    5 Stars EASY BOOKING.COM 24/02/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages No charge until you have stayed.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None

    I have used BOOKING.COM where we have made the booking and stayed at the Hotel and also where we have needed to cancel. BOOKING.COM is another site that often appears to be the cheapest when we trawl HOTELSCOMPARISON.COM. We booked for Vila Gale in Tavira Portugal for our January trip. Booking process was very easy, we had two double Rooms with Buffet Breakfast and Pool View (Pool View was 1 Euro per night per room, Saga were Charging 2 Euros per person per night) (Total cost per room for the 3 nights was £87, thats B&B at less than £15 per person) You get Email Confirmation and you print your ... more
