Booking.com is a disaster I booked a nonrefundable hostel one day earlier than my flight was due to arrive (my fault). I realized the mistake 2 months in advance, and requested a change through the booking.com app that was ‘Confirmed’ by the property… except I guess it wasn’t ever confirmed because my reservation is still for the original dates. The hostel contacted m…

Reserved an apartment in Italy on booking.com. The host sent me a message, offering a lower rate if I cancel and pay them directly at check-in. Did anyone ever get this before? I don’t want to cancel and don’t care about the price difference. I am just worried that they give up the room to someone else and don’t honor my reservation when I get there.

Hotel won’t take visa despite Booking.com saying they do Hi people, I have just arrived at a hotel in Tashkent, and according to the information given by booking.com, on the summary on reservations’ page, they take visa and mastercard. But the reception said no, because “it’s the beggining of the month” and even proposed to “give me a discount” if I pay by cash. But I don’t have cash. I booked here on…

Booking.com phishing scam I’m not sure if this is already discussed (MOD please delete if it’s irrelevant). I fell victim to a scam through Booking.com.

How does booking.com “Genius” discount work? Why am I able to find links to cheaper rooms through links into booking.com via Google Maps?

After that, when I looked for the hotel on Google Maps, I found a link for booking.com which opened on my app to book a room in the same hotel for ~£54 (with price matched links to Hot…

booking.com SCAM – please be careful! I have an upcoming trip to Japan with my boyfriend in October with all our accomodation booked. I received a message today in the booking.com app in the property tab. Basically, it showed up as a completely normal message within the booking.com app itself that appeared to be sent to me by the property directly. It was a long winded message with …

Card problem with booking.com Hi there! I have an upcoming hotel booking and I’ve recently gotten a booking.com system notification telling me that they’ve detected a problem with my bank card and I will need to verify it in order to avoid any cancellations. They’ve already taken the money out my account when I made the booking over a month ago, never had issues with any oth…

PSA: Be careful of this Booking.com scam. The website it leads to is NOT legit – it’s a phishing website that looks extremely convincing (it reflects all your personal booking details). Got this message from several bookings in Spain. submitted by /u/anticapitalist69

Booking 11 months out Hey all, we are going to Milan in July 2024.

I’ve got a few hours to cancel but started realizing they have way cheaper flights even for next week (August 2023) so I’m worried I’ve booked too so…
