Incidentally, since we're discussing booking.com — this site is ready to be disrupted. I recently tried to search for hotel rooms for a family of 3. A single room, for 2 adults and a kid. Good luck with that — they invested tons of money into that terrible anxiety-inducing messaging, but the search/filtering options are gathering cobwebs.
For those who haven't tried: yes, you can select a single room and 2 adults and 1 kid. Booking will ignore that and show you 200 hotels that offer TWO rooms. You will need to sift through all of them to find some that might offer a single room, and then fight through misleading offers, where a room is marked for three people, but has two beds.
- carlosjobim 4y ago> this site is ready to be disrupted. Do a Kagi search for "hotels in (region)" and you can book directly with the hotels from their website, or contact them directly. But some hotels don't let you book through their website, and some hotels don't have enough information on their web site, some hotels don't have a website only a social media account, and some hotels don't have any of that. Well, if they - who have the most to win - are not ready to disrupt booking.com, then who is? A hotel owner will save thousands or tens of thousands of dollars per year in booking.com fees, if they only invest one week and a few hundred dollars into their own web site. But many would never in their life do such a thing. Not to mention AirBnB, who is worse than booking.com for both customers and hosts.
