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.

He went over and beyond to help me out and gave me an amazing experience. I would come back.I haven't even been in room yet but if the staff is friendly and helpful as Vandell I can't image how the staff would be.

Reservations were made for a hotel that did not have any rooms available. Cancelled in the correct timeline and still have not received a refund 4 days later. Have been calling and emailing nonstop and keep getting the run around. People on the phone say they can't help and every email just gets a response that we received your request, reply with any comments. TOTAL SCAM COMPANY! We contacted AMEX to file a dispute and have been refunded what they were trying to steal!
Tip for consumers:
That they are not reputable. It appears that you are going straight to the hotels website instead of searching like other travel websites. It is very deceptive.

Nothing, we reserved a room at a hotel that did not have any to sell. They sold us something that was not available to them.

I called an Allison was the one supposed to be helping me. Well she didn't. Because of her I thought I had a reservation at the extended stay America suites at 9000 Tinicum Blvd, Philadelphia, PA and she never confirmed it with my hotel and when I got to the hotel I had issues trying to get a room because they were completely out of rooms for the night and next few days. So she charged my credit card with a fee of over 400 dollars for me to show up, waste gas, and not receive my reservation. You shouldn't hire incompetent people. In fact you should fire her because I know if this happened to me from her behalf then it must had happened to other people she was "helping". She is not good at her job, quite the opposite. I am completely disappointed at Allison.

He booked me a reservation at a hotel that was over a hundred miles from where I was at. Then told me it was just a few miles to get there. I had been lost and it was after midnight when he did this. Now I'm broke down on I 75 waiting for AAA. I want a refund.

Jeannie was very helpful. She listened to my needs and was able to accommodate my request. I appreciated that she also notated in the hotel reservation notes that I needed first floor due to a bad knee.

She answered the phone and I could hardly understand her. I'm not sure why I could hear every breath she took but it was like she was blowing into the phone mic. I also think she was eating. I honestly was discussed with the experience and did not want to talk to her at all. So I said goodbye and hung up.

I called at 3:00 am to request a room to get some rest as I am on a cross country trip from Texas to Boston with my two pet dogs. Scott told me there was a pet friendly room available at the Days Inn at Wyndham. When I arrive the guy at the front desk was very rude and told me I could check in until 3 pm later in the afternoon! He also informales me I would be charged additional fees for my dogs. When I called for customer support the guy on the line was condescending, told me he was unable to transfer my call to a manager or supervisor and that a "review" would need to be conducted before they could determine if the would return the $103 charged to my bank account for a room I could even use.
Worst. Experience. EVER!

I called to ask if the hotel I booked was non- smoking and he refused to tell me, and referred me to the online description. After going back and forth he said this is not a help line and he didn't care if he was rude.
Totally not helpful and will never call again!

It was very comforting getting someone to help and someone that didn't mind taking the time to work me. I felt very lost when booking for the 1 Inn were quickly booked up. Kellie was very helpful in helping me find other reservations at a nearby inn. I am very grateful and thankful. Thanks again Kellie

I am not happier with the service of this company or the way they treat are military service employees. When I ask to speak with a manager I was hung up on. As a rewards customer I will not be returning to your company

We are frequent guests at the Springhill Suites in Columbia MD and have always been extremely satisfied with everyone from making reservations thru check out.
I spoke with Opare to make a reservation and cannot believe that she is a reservations representative for the Springhill Suites. She needs extensive retraining. She was rude and hung up on me. I did call back and had a very pleasant experience with Jada. We have our reservation and are very appreciative for her professionalism. It's people like Jada that makes an Opare experience forgettable. Thank you Jada.

We were 10 hours out and needed to make a reservation for our two-day trip home from a great Florida vacation. We had stayed at a Country Inn & Suites in Chattanooga before and requested the same place. We knew it had a Cracker Barrel in front of it. Juan found it for us. Great job.

I called in with the one 800 number to make a reservation for a hotel in Zachary Louisiana. The hotel reservation person was excellent. She made small chitchat, which I did like actually made it a pretty good day to talk to somebody over the phone.

Personable and knowledgeable. I strongly feel Hampton Inn misrepresents themselves as the website price us grossly out of balance with the actual prices. I found out that the price on the holiday express website was what it really was

I wanted to schedule a hotel room for a few days in Green bay WI. Because I was going to see the Packers play. I'm from Scranton PA. And didn't have a clue where to stay. A women by the name of Emilee guided me through the process and she was wonderful. I felt very confident after placing my reservation thru Emilee and very happy I did. She truly is an awesome employee and person and you are lucky to have her!

I was talked over the entire time. Mr. Cory (the representative that "assisted" me) continously tried to finish my sentences and book a room that didn't meet my criteria. After calling the hotel the following morning I found that the room was incorrect and the specified occupancy was wrong. I also inquired about military rates and reward points which were not applied until I called the hotel again.

The woman I spoke to helped me out to find a room very close to the casino because the rooms at the casino were a little too steep and price for us she was very pleasant and I really appreciated her help and cheerful attitude
