Originally Dutch, Booking.com is now owned by a US holding and has a 45% market share. Book directly through the hotel, it's generally cheaper (i.postimg.cc)

I went to Oslo once and when I checked I found a cheap stay like 25€/night. But apparently it was a scam and the listing doesn't exists, and many have fall for it and reported it and wrote about it in the reviews. Booking still keeps it and refuse to refund.

Stuff like that is infuriating and will cause me to actively avoid Booking.scam and other services. When users report something and biting is done... Like what is the point of even using your site!?
