A warning about using Booking.com - DON'T depend on your confirmed booking!!!!!!
I booked a hotel (in March) in Almeria for 1 week in June via Booking.com. With just over 30 days to my holiday I was contacted by Booking.com by email to say they had cancelled my hotel booking, no reason or explanation of suggestion on how to rectify the situation. When I eventually got through to someone after a couple of days as they just ignored by messages and emails to customer service to ask why they had cancelled my booking they told me the hotel had cancelled the booking?. I pointed out previously when a hotel had cancelled my booking they told the hotel to sort out a new booking with another hotel at no extra cost to myself - and this has worked in a number of different countries. I also pointed out that the hotel was still advertising on Booking.com for vacancies 3 days after my cancelled booking. They have said "sorry" we are unable to help - despite me pointing out that I had BOOKED WITH Booking.com The cost of bookings a three days later than my booking had gone from 600+ € to over 1100+ € in these few days. They are just not interested so I have a few months over the next 12 months accommodation etc booked with Booking.com and I am going to cancel them all - my point is DON'T book with Booking.com as there is always the possibility of them cancelling your booking and you will be left trying to find another booking at normally vastly inflated cost to yourself at very short notice, lost travel costs and inconvenience or worse (happened to me once) where on arrival at a hotel in the middle of the night and the hotel is closed down I contacted Booking.com and they found me accommodation for 1 night and organised other accommodation for the rest of my stay - in my opinion NOW that will not happen and you will be left out in the street!!!!!!!
