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 husband made a reservation months ago, but had issues when he arrived. They only had $1,200 a night suites available. While my husband was at registration trying to reserve a cheaper room, I called and spoke with Vanessa. She was able to book him a reservation for 3 nights at the Cosmopolitan. My hubby was able to walk over and check in immediately. After a long flight, finding a reasonably priced room was a relief.
I mistakenly booked a hotel room on this website and paid in full at the time of booking. When I checked out of the hotel 3 nights later I was told that my payment had not been received and that I needed to pay for my stay with another credit card. I have filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau.
The lady was very helpful and great customer service.

James booked 2 reservations for Madison Ms and booked a 3rd reservation for Madison Wi.
I was not notified of the non refundable state changed in Wi nor did I request it. Now I still need to book a reservation for those 2 nights and I do not have my refund. I am now being tossed around and was told I need to wait 24-48 hrs

Thank you so much to Alexandra who saved my trip to the Somerville Cambria! Without your assistance and kindness, we would've likely booked elsewhere.
Give this person a raise!
