Just a shame they often charge the same price so I think why did I bother doing them the favour?
- azza2110 9y agoThe hotels are not allowed to offer a lower price than booking.com. To undercut, or offer bonuses, risks then getting pulled from one of their largest sales channels.

- FICO 9y agoFor most hotel chains if you join the loyalty programs then when you log in and book directly you get the member price which is usually $10-20/night lower.
- iaskwhy 9y agoSometimes they do, sometimes they don't, at least in Europe. If you're price sensitive, always check both before booking it. Some examples: I've booked directly with the place to pay half price for one night in an amazing farm in Iceland; I've got the opposite last time I booked a night in a cheap hotel in Portugal. I usually check the Booking.com price and then check directly with the hotel then "Oh, but I've seen this cheaper in Booking.com", "Yes, please do the reservation via Booking.com then".
