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.
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.

Her accent made it very hard to understand half of what she said. I lost my spouse and am going there for a memorial. She kept trying to sell me stuff and give me discounts as a gift. I think it's deplorable how far down Marriott of all brands has sunk with the stuff they make their people do. Not happy or impressed. Madison has limited options or I would have stayed somewhere else.

I spoke with Christina and she did an excellent job of explaining my options to me. She was very patient and took the time to make sure I had the reservation that was best for me. I appreciate your help.

Chelsea went above and beyond to ensure that a very specific and unique room request was thoroughly researched to provide precise answers. She represents what all customer service personnel should be willing and happy to provide. I rarely provide feedback on customer experiences but Chelsea was exceptional

Kaye you booked the wrong hotel for me even after I repeatedly spelled the name of the hotel and gave her the postcode, how can you book Poole North instead of Bournemouth. Had I not immediately notice the confirmation on my email I should have been fired my boss would not have a place to sleep.
When dealing with customers you should have patience, you are impatient.
Thanks to Mary who told me the truth instead of booking the wrong hotel.
Patience, patience
Listening is a skill
I need my refund, I had to immediately book another hotel for my boss
I am so disappointed with your service.

My experience depends on whether I am being charged $14.41 for a
"plan " that allows me to cance my resv if needed. If so I don't feel like those details were explained. I will be canceling my resv if that is the case.

Last night my son and I tried to book a room somewhere near Stamford Connecticut on our way back from the eclipse in Burlington Vermont. Person found us a room quote 17 miles south of Burlington" which we booked – and when the information came up on my phone screen, the room was in Huntington station New York – 17 miles across Long Island sound! We spent the next 45 minutes in the car, trying to cancel that reservation without charge, since we were not informed correctly, where it was located, and at this point, don't know whether or not they will cancel the supposedly nonrefundable charge. (We were told that cancellations would have to be made by April 7 – which happened to be two days before we made the reservation with your person!) at this point, we are still not sure whether we will receive that refund.

I tried to book room in Virginia reservation confirmation? Illinois! How does that happen? As of this writing, no refund! Upon trying to straighten this out, a room booked at a different hotel. According to that agent? 4 miles away. According to my client? MORE then 4 miles. I have lost that client. Yesterday, i was told i would receive a " voucher " for my inconvenience, and a full refund. None of that has happened

I have a question about the Nairobi hotel but each time I call I get transferred to a service line that requires a reservation number. I don't have a reservation number, I'm calling about a NEW reservation. I've called 10 times and have been transferred and hung up on 10 times. It's been over 30 minutes and I've accomplished nothing.

You sounded drunk and you reserved and charged me for the wrong night even though you asured me it was for tonight! I'm at the hotel and had to pay another $500 to get my family including an elderly man and baby a room for the night. And now I have a fully paid room for tomorrow night and I don't need a room then! I want my money back. You're thieves!
