Besides dark patterns, there is something else that annoys me even more: the cluttered and inconsistency of the UI itself. It is not possible or really not intuitive to do something like entering a couple of places you would potentially want to go to, select 2 adults and 3 children, filter them on criteria like free parking, free wifi and sort the results on price. While this sounds like a pretty common pattern, the experience is really bad. Sorting is messed up by sponsored hotels, not consistent on the price of a room or the room I configured or the price is the cheapest room without wifi... On top of it, they run all kind of experiments. This causes more confusion for me, because I just learned to do something in a specific way. I still use it, not because of the great usability or great service but because there are no real better alternatives.
