'... but I loathe all of the dark patterns they employ to make that commission.'
I tried to leave a negative review for a hotel on booking.com and the overall result was 3.5 out 5!
At least with google reviews I can get a fair picture of what the place is actually like.
And, all that 'just one room left at this price' is basically fraud.
It does annoy me though when I try to book direct and get charged the exact same price. I know with chains you get loyalty discounts and such but a there are still a lot of independents where you don't.
