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.

Ashley was able to find us a room. I couldn't
Find my credit card and she was very patient and encouraging while I looked for it.
Unfortunately, I never did find it and couldn't book the room.

I made a reservation on BookOnline at 7:00 p.m. last night 3/28 and received the confirmation at 7:01 pm. I immediately noticed the date on the confirmation was incorrect. The reservation was for 3/28 instead of 4/1. I immediately called the customer service number on my confirmation and explained to the girl that the date was incorrect and asked her to cancel that booking and reschedule it for 4/1. She said, okay I will put in a ticket. I followed up with, " I would like you to cancel it while I'm on the phone as I do not want to be charged for a hotel room for tonight." She assured me that as soon as she hung up she would take care of it and send me a confirmation email. I did receive an email with a confirmation of my request, but my room was never canceled and my bank account is being charged for the room. I have tried several times today to get someone to help me and everyone I speak with (most of them working from home on headsets that crackle and are very difficult to hear) cannot help me. I am so frustrated. I am not going to give up on trying to get my money back, but they are certainly not making a good impression on their customer service end.

Spoke with representative at BookOnLine who charged me 30% higher than the price I received when I called the hotel directly. He also said that I needed to call the hotel to get a rebate for my AARP discount.The hotel told me they could not do anything with the BookOnLine reservation. I cancelled the Book On Line Reservation and made the reservation directly with the hotel. When I cancelled the reservation with Book On Line an hour later, I was informed that they could cancel the reservation but that there was a 30% penalty which would be deducted from my credit card refund. They overcharged me, gave me misleading info, tried to give the appearance that they were representatives of the hotel I had wanted and then wanted me to be penalized $682.20 because I cancelled the reservation. They won't get away with their scam! Stay away! Try to reserve directly with the hotel or with a reputable company like Travelocity, Hotels.com, Travago, or Booking.com.If BookOnLine does not retund the entire charged amount, I will dispute the payment with my credit card company. Who told me they would stop payment. BookOnLine should pay me for the frustration they caused and all the time I wasted. They do not deserve any stars!
Tip for consumers:
Stay away!
