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.

They're charging fees on you - stupid refund policy as well.
Scam website is a middleman - just book through the hotel site directly.

No one services this site, it's a rip off. No confirmations are sent so all you pay for is a headache.
Tip for consumers:
Do not buy from this site. They do not service the sale and will take more than they show it costs.
