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.

I was told all that would come off my card was the $29.99 booking fee and to pay the rest when I arrive at the hotel. I just looked on my bank card and the booking fee and total of the hotel was already taken off my card. Now it says I still have to pay at the hotel as well. Not happy

I called To make a reservation over the phone while a severe thunderstorm. Came down while we were on the phone. I am terrified of storms and he stayed on the phone with me. The until I could pull to the side of the road to safety to complete the transaction. I have bad anxiety and he was so kind. Thank him personally from me and he deserves a raise and to be acknowledged for his excellent customer service

I was not sure my booking went through so I called and I spoke to a gentleman who is very polite and helpful. He assured me my booking went through, and he went above and beyond to help me get the room I wanted. I am so pleased. Thank you so much Brandon you deserve five stars. And a huge hug!

BEWARE! OVER PRICED FEES! So I booked last minute because they had the room I needed. The fees were like double but needed this room so thought it was a mistake. I was very very wrong. Once we got there the place was degraded and poorly managed. I checked with others staying there and their fees were half what I paid on this site. This sites fees are about double most other booking sites. I asked for an itemization and they denied it. No help what so ever. Bad Booking Site! I gave them 3 chances to make it right.

Explaining a problem I have about a missing confirmation number the agent just hung up. This happened 3 times with different agents. Hanging up on a caller is a rude. Will avoid doing business with BookOnline in the future

Cory was VERY NICE and patient with us helping to make our vacation possible and starting us on a great journey.
If I could have given him a 10 he would most definitely have gotten it.
Thanks Cory for all your help.

The hotel rep was very personable. Even though we had a poor connection he was to figure out what I needed and helped me make a booking with very little difficulty. He was very friendly and patient, even though I had to frequently repeat himself because of the poor connection.

I was trying to make reservations for a conference and was told the hotel was full. I worked with Corey and he found me just the room I requested but needed to adjust dates. Very accommodating and kind.

Reserved a room. I was told I could cancel. Decided to drive further. Reserved another room by calling hotel. Called back to cancel the first booking and only then was I told there was a cancellation fee of 30%. I will never use your service again

Elisee did a great job helping me book my rooms! I needed two rooms for two nights, and one room for one night. He made the process quick and easy and double checked all aspects of my reservation before booking. Thank you!

Terrible service. Called as website wasn't working. When she quoted a different rate than online I disputed the amount and was hung up on. Rude and disrespectful.

Opare did a great job helping me to book stays for 6 people. We are staying both on the way up and the way back home. I tried online first, but the website wasn't very user friendly when it came to booking handicapped accessible rooms or 2 different styles of rooms. Opare did a great job getting it done for me. I'm hoping we can have either adjoining rooms or rooms very close to one another on the same floor as we are traveling with children.

He did just what I needed and wanted. He knew his job, and a person who took pride in his job and it was not what you get in today's society. So glad he was the person that took care of me. You are extremely lucky to have a great young man in employment
And is, 1 of a kind not what your competitors have and sets you way ahead of them.

My experience was efficient, pleasant & helpful.
I tried to book through the 800 number & got disconnected & was in queue for an hour. I was very pleased to be taken care quickly & get the accommodations I needed.

I wanted to call the hotel. I called the number on the website. I was not given a voice mail option to reach the specific hotel front desk. The reservation line could not even tell me the number to call. After waiting, the agent advised me to look in the yellow pages. Not her fault, I guess, but the system should be changed.

This was an ongoing difficult experience. The quality inn phone number is 775–4 28–0300. I had called it for four hours, and kept getting a busy signal. So I had to resort to call the new reservation line. Pamela had no ability to confirm my reservation and when she called the number she got a busy signal also.
Pamela was at least the third person I talk to. The first person gave me the wrong phone number to the Hampton Inn in Fallon, and the second person I talk to hung up on me.
And overall very frustrating experience

I was calling to get a room at the Grand Hyatt at DFW. I was told that there were no rooms. When I asked if there was some way to get one, like a cancellation, I was told to "plan ahead"!
I don't feel I need to justify any further why she gets a poor review. BTW, I called the hotel direct and they found a room for me!

I have diabetes and specifically asked if the hotel had a fitness center. I use exercise to help maintain my blood sugar after I eat.
After I had already prepaid and checked-in I realized once I got to the room that there was no fitness center.

Called for assistance with booking a hotel in Jacksonville NC at EMT rate. Was told that the only discount offered from Hilton was Sr Citizen. Then "transferred to customer service" which ended up being a recorded line that asked me to enter my reservation number.

Booking a room was easy and Daniel was very helpful with finding us the right place to stay. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was actually really good too! We Will remember this place when we come back.

Nicole could read my mood and knew that my humorous voice while making truly $#*!y comments. She laughed. I liked that. Nicole also gave me the direct line to the front desk at the hotel I'll be at, which, I will make known, is freakin' not available in Google's wealth of knowledge. She deserves a raise. She should still work with people, but she deserves a raise.

The agent was very affable and extremely helpful. His professional attitude was self evident. His manner and demeanor was of the highest standards. He adds new dimensions to the concept of professionalism. Possess managerial qualities others should emulate. Promote well ahead of his peers based on his demonstrated superior skills

I'm a Hilton honors gold member and wanted to book my rooms and Garcia was not helpful and ask me to tell the desk that. That's absurd and I never have had to deal with that. I'm very disappointed and when I asked why he hung up and sent me "how'd I do" text. Garcia, you failed.
