It's a FOMO machine. I use it to find places, filtering by "wifi available", and then contact them directly.

- JetSpiegel 9y agoBasically this. I use booking as the yellow pages, you search for the hotels you want and give them a call directly. Cheaper prices and no cuts for parasite middleman.
- samastur 9y agoSo parasite middleman is for you a company that enables you to find those hotels in the first place? Do you find all middleman parasitic or is there something else booking should do to stop being in this group?
- clamprecht 9y agoI've had some bad experiences with third parties (middlemen) when booking hotels online. Anytime there is a problem, the other two parties point the fingers at each other, and you, the customer, is left to deal with it. I don't find all middlemen parasitic, but in this case, it's less risk for me to deal directly. Sometimes only booking.com has rooms and the hotel site itself doesn't, and in that case, I will still use booking.com.
