Yup, tried to book through them recently and there were technical glitches which prevented me from doing so. Eventually AirBnB support told me to tell the host to perform various actions to "reset" their availability status, etc. After a lot of fruitless back and forth, I messaged the host via AirBnB and told him that I was going to book his place through Booking.com. As a final insult, AirBnB wouldn't let me send the message because it contained "booking.com", so I ended up saying "the other platform".
- notahacker 4y agoFrankly the other platform seems to often be cheaper when the room's listed on both (there's surprisingly little overlap even in the self catered apartments and spare rooms category) Sure, it has the irritating design patterns telling you that 3 people have looked this room in the last hour to try to encourage you to rush a decision, but manages to be still more honest in displaying the actual amount you pay per night rather than an amount plus 14% fees...
