So in EU we should not expect such things, OTOH many dot-com doesn't have much clues on laws (especially internationally). You have the final control: if you do not like a behaviour do not use that site | |
| May 15 at 6:19 | comment | added | hippietrail | Booking com is already a little bit sketchy with stuff like this but Agoda just rushes headlong into all kinds of BS. My current trip has lasted over two years and the prices on Agoda have been bollocks the whole time. In Japan one place even had signs up that they did not work with Agoda at all yet Agoda would book rooms there they didn't have and they couldn't get Agoda to stop doing it. | |

| May 14 at 17:30 | comment | added | Kate Gregory | it's possible someone did book that room. But it's also possible that the price is only available more than n days before arrival, and as you tick over midnight the hotel responds with "no longer available" when the booking site inquires. Then a human-made decision translates that into "someone booked it!" either because they didn't consider other possibilities, or to give you a sense of urgency. | |
