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.

I booked a room for $66. It then wanted my card number. $33 in taxes after I booked. I feel scammed.
Tip for consumers:
Give the customer a grand total before asking for a card number. I felt like I was getting a good deal on the room and then I felt scammed when it gave me the grand total after I put in my card information. The taxes were literally in the amount that was half the cost of the room itself.
Products used:
The company I booked with added on excessive taxes.
