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.

Going through the Colorado rockies, we ran into a very bad thunder and lightning storm. Rayshana, the booking specilist, found us a room as late as it was. My dog and I were very greatful

HOW DO YOU CREATE A RESERVATION FOR A GUEST AND JUST TELL THEM, THE ROOOM HAS A BALCONY AND THAT'S IT? BAD/HORRIBLE PRACTICES. THEY SHOULDN'T EVEN BE ALLOWED TO BOOK ANY ROOMS. I WOULDN'T LET THEM BOOK A ROOM FOR MY DOG! SHUT THEM DOWN ASAP! CREATE A RESERVATION WITH THEM AND YOU WON'T FIND YOUR RESERVATION AT THE HOTEL YOU BOOKED! CRAZY!
Tip for consumers:
AVOID THE SCAM ARTIST!
