Originally Dutch, Booking.com is now owned by a US holding and has a 45% market share. Book directly through the hotel, it's generally cheaper (i.postimg.cc)

I travel a lot and it's extremely rare to find a better rate directly through the hotel than using booking, priceline or expedia. This websites usually get rooms in bulk to re sell

Booking is my least favorite and priceline is becoming my go-to. I do try to cross check the reviews and pictures from different websites. Sometimes a 9.5 on booking is a 3 stars on google
