They disguise the site URL to look like the direct hotel website in Google search. It wasn't until I saw the $150+ "tax and recovery fee" on a $214 reservation that I realized something was off. By then I'd already booked. I canceled the reservation, but the site isn't clear on whether or not they refund the exorbitant fees. For comparison, booking directly on Marriott had $34 in government taxes and fees. Bookonline.com is crazy.
Tip for consumers:
Don't. Just don't. Book anywhere else - directly with the hotel, Priceline, Booking.com, Truvago, Kayak - anywhere else.

My booking arrangements made with the help of Sonjanique were easy and quick. She was helpful, extremely personable, and so efficient. When my first choice didn't work out - she came up with alternates which were perfect. Thank you.

Neal was very helpful and friendly. We talked about the weather in Willits ( which is why we're booking a room….don't want to get stuck home because of snow as we start our vacation tomorrow!) also talked about weather in Boston! A very personable guy!

Caesar was friendly and helpful. Nice to hear a friendly voice on the other end. He was careful to make sure I understood the price of both rooms and said he would make a note about our early arrival. He didn't over-promise, " We'll do our best to accomodate to your situation."

Neal, was very professional, he spoke clearly and provided the details needed. He was so clear about what type of room I had reserved, price, dates and cancellation policy. I wish all representatives were as clear and helpful as he was.

Rude. I was transferred and not told I was going to be transferred. I have been trying for 30 minutes to get a copy of my folio with no success.
I am a diamond member and stay at Hilton properties several times a year. Our company employees stay at Hilton's over a 1,000 times annually - maybe we should switch to Marriott.

I thought I was too late to get in on a block of rooms reserved for an event, so I was provided with many cost effective alternatives that would still be well suited for what I needed. In the end there was still availability in the block and Edgar was able to provide a great room at a great rate.

Ms. Alicia did a fantastic job while assisting my wife and I in arranging our hotel stay on a last minute vacation getaway. Took the time to hear our request and locate the best priced hotel accommodations to meet our needs. One of the best experiences I have had in a very long time.

Barbara did an amazing job trying to find arrangements for the dates we were seeking to check-in. She was enthusiastic and did all she could to try and meet our needs. The days we selected for the Ritz were booked solid. Thank you for searching other nearby hotels. We appreciate your attention to detail.

Lauren was so polite and pleasant to work with on my reservation. She was so helpful to make sure I could get what I wanted and at a reasonable price. It was very important that I be close to a particular location and she gave me many options to choose from. Thank you Lauren.

Very easy to work with and incredibly helpful. I had to have her wait on the phone for me to track down my wallet and she was very patient and after all that I still had to ask her to change the reservation to a different room and though I felt bad she did not make me feel like that in anyway

The employee was very polite and informative.
All the rooms were book, but he asked me to call back in a few weeks to see if there were any rooms. He also asked if there was any other types of rooms or dates that I would be interested in, an told me a little about the area of the hotel and amenities available.

Had to make a quick decision to book a room when a family member's flights were suddenly canceled late at night. Made the reservation in real time as the hours passed, and the news didn't look good. Prepaid the room, but she was finally atc2am, able to get the last of two seats available out later that morning. No hotel stay needed. Have been on hold to cancel these reservations for now almost 3 hours!

You pushed me into something I didn't want. I got off the phone and realized that that same sale was better on bookings.com. The same website that wasn't updated. I Called 3 different times and got 3 different people and then transferred to A robot who I cannot connect to a person to get my answers. I have never been so humiliated and frustrated at the same time. You guys could have saved me three hundred dollars that would have Helped my family take their memorable vacation that we cant afford to go to another state. If i'm wrong then call me back at *******209. Thankfully I was able to contact the real front desk and was directed appropriately. Again, you should be ashamed
Three hundred dollars goes a long way for my family.
Do not charge me.

Room not available, she indicated that they would be ready with a late check in but the reservation was for the next day. The hotel clerk indicated they had not received a call from Paola as she told she had. Very disappointed and I want a refund.

I booked a room and the particulars of the rules would have prevented my 18 year old daughter from checking in before I arrived in country. In addition, my daughter was required to present the credit card used for the booking, which was not in her possession. The hotel had a no refund policy but through steadfast efforts, the hotels.com agent was able to cancel the booking for me and get me a refund. I am a happy camper and I applaud the agents work who helped me.

Called for a group rate and was transferred to an automated reply for someone already with a reservation.Then it hung up on me. I called back and did get to group sales but have been on hold for 27 minutes so far

I wanted to speak to someone higher than him because he gave me a price astronomically high than what was given on the website. I feel insulted and lied to and he refused to help me!

I asked for a room large enough for 5 people or adjoining rooms at the grand Hyatt DFW and I got 2 separate rooms at the 2 star clarion. I was told there was a shuttle acceptable seats for a 1 and 4 year old and we got a shuttles with no car seats and barely seat belts. All this aroma were non refundable

It is false information that you gave them that resort you say that is a beech front property that is on the golf side when it is actually a bay that they make their own beach by the "resort" people were nice at the place and they had good service with the workers.
