Went to make reservations at Sleep Inn & ended up with Book Online. Was charged twice what was quoted. Contacted Book Online where I was informed of their NO Refund policy. Filed a claim against their fraudulent practices. Scammers.
Tip for consumers:
Avoid this site, it's a scam.

We tried booking at a Toronto hotel but there was no availability Joyce, in Reservations at the Canopy Hotel, was a terrific help. She checked throughout other establishments until we found what we were looking for. She saved us time, and was most pleasant and helpful! Thanks Joyce. Bruce and Susan McKie
1 star only because they dont allow negative stars. This company is operating with misleading and deceptive practices which are illegal in Australia. The only way to stop or limit there scam behaviour is to warn people. I made a booking with Bookonlie.com not realising they were an american website. They charged american $ for a booking in Australia for an Australian hotel. They also charged over $50 aus for insurance which I did not select. When I call and complained they chose to cancel my booking. I DID NOT ASK FOR THE BOOKING TO BE CANCELLED> So now i have lost over $600 and have no accomodation. Numerous calls to - yes you guessed it a Phillipino call centre - i have had no help. They tell me someone will call me back but it has now been over 2 weeks. The last call centre person tried to assure me they were a highly professional internal company. MMM you would wonder if this was correct why they would need to steal from people.
No email confirmation of reservation, the room you book will not be what you get. I booked a King Pet Friendly room only to find out the day of arrival that my pets could not be accommodated. This company caused a no notice cancellation that cost nearly 300 and they don't care. If I could take a star from my 1 star rating I would. I'll be filling a complaint with BBB

More interested in talking than listening. Had to tell him the date 4 times and location 3 and then had to repeat the address 3 times. It felt like he was doing another task while speaking with me.

Rooms would sell out by the time I processed my card. Then it wouldn't process when I did get a room. I called the Reservation line and was done in 5 minutes. So just skip online and just call!

My experience was horrible. Book a hotel with Best western Cypress Creek 7921 Lamar Pool, Biloxi, MS *******. Room305 was infested with bedbugs. Not only that I have not received a refund.

Jessica was very kind. I believe I might have contacted a 3rd party as opposed to the actual hotel. Either way, Jessica was helpful and we will see what happens.

We booked a room online for a Fairfield Inn at a rate of $119.00. Book online did not disclose that they were charging an additional $50 + dollars for taxes and fees. We would have never booked this room knowing there would be that much in additional charges.
Tip for consumers:
Do not book through this company

I have entered a dispute with my credit card company for the portion of the charge that was not disclosed.

I reserved and cancelled my reservation within a few minutes of realizing I was not on the Wyndham Rewards site. The reservation confirmation emphasized Free Cancellation, but I was charged the full amount of $1822. 33: they will give me no refund and they will give me no room (will not reinstate my reservation). I complained to Google about elevating any company with such a bad Better Business Bureau rating to the top of my search list as if it best matched my search.
Tip for consumers:
Avoid

Cesar continued to search for us a place to stay, even though a convention would be in town the same time we needed to be there, due to an appointment at Shands Hospital. He went above & beyond.
