This looks awesome!
I used booking.com a lot a few months ago and was just constantly amazed at how dumb all these “nudges” are. My favorite was a warning on a hotel listing saying “only 1 room at this price left on booking.com”. Turned out the hotel was completely empty! The hotel has only one of their smallest size room, so _necessarily_ when the hotel is empty there is only one of the cheapest rooms left. But still they try to make you feel anxious!
- CamperBob2 3y agoWell... they're not lying, then, are they? Should the code really be supposed to account for obscure edge cases like that? I always assume that there are a limited number of rooms available for third-party booking in any case, so I've come to accept that there will be hassles and risks associated with that. Starting to use airbnb more often for that and other reasons.
- netsharc 3y ago"only 1 room at this price left on booking.com", could also mean, the hotel only lets booking.com sell a limited number of rooms through their site, and presto, only 1 type of that room left, "on booking.com"!
- devoutsalsa 3y agoPlot twist, they’re referring to room #1, which is the last one ti be rented out.
