What's even worse with booking.com is their constant spammization.
You know, when I book my room without breakfast there's a reason for that. For example: I don't eat breakfast and are completely happy with a cup of coffee (offered by most better hotels in your room). So, please kindly stop spamming me three times that you "noted that I didn't add breakfast to my booking".
I also don't appreciate three reminders that I can book some overprized airport transportation service. See, there's a reason I didn't book that. Namely that public transport gets me to my hotel in the same time as your overprized service for 1/30th of the price. And since I travel mostly with hand luggage, luggage is really not an issue. So please stop to spam me already!
But the absolute worst is that after I book a hotel I get spammed with mails that "prices in $WHEREVER" just went down.
First of all it's a brazen lie. How do I know? Because I booked a hotel in Sapporo during Golden Week[1] on short notice. Prizes for hotel rooms during golden week don't go down; ever! So yeah, that's one thing. You're liars!
What's worse, though, is that you fuck over your hotels by enticing bookers to cancel and search for something cheaper.
I for one would call all those practices pretty damn scammy. And if somebody has a good alternative to booking.com I'm more than happy to give it a go.
