I try to book directly with the hotel and their website had me thinking I was. I made an error on my dates and immediately contacted them to fix the mistake. They were argumentative. I insisted on speaking to a supervisor and was placed on hold and eventually hung up on. I called right back and had the very same experience! There is no customer service here! I would never use them!

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.
Very friendly. My flight got cancelled at midnight so needed a hotel. Alrhough alfeady 27 June, over.the phone.she explained.it was.for 26-27. I got to thr hotel and.they could not acxomodate me because the reservation waa made for the 27th (checkin after 3 pm)! So I had to go back and sleep at the airport as all.other hotels in the area were.booked! My flight isn't until 2pm! I should not incur this.charge!

I booked this reservation thinking I was booking it through the hotel's website. Upon realizing the rates I was paying were much higher than the hotel's actual rates and that I needed to make an adjustment to the dates, I cancelled this within 48 hours of booking. The policy said the cancellation and refund was subject to the hotel's cancellation policy. They refused to issue any refund for a booking that is 5 months out. This is a horrible business practice and very misleading to the customer. The confirmation itself says "Free Cancellation" which seems synonymous with a refundable reservation. I have never had such an unpleasant experience and will never use this again.

I needed to find a hotel that would allow by 20 year old daughter check in with a dog for a night! Joi did the research for me, called around to multiple hotels and made the booking process a breeze.

Used Bookonline, was misrepresented as Hilton website, went to cancel, totally given run around, told
No refund and by the way the $143 room charge was billed as $193 due to fees they had to pay Hilton. Complete ripoff, lousy customer service, never use this site.

She started with we have hotel room for 183 turned out to be 283 she says with taxes then we get billed in American dollars
We even told her we just got evacuated and she couldn't tell us the truth.
