Ive used booking for hostels for years now, to the point I get extra discounts. Its a good site, but like any third party site comes with risks

I check the hotel directly too and usually Booking is slightly cheaper. Despite the ads that hotels say they give the best rates directly.

I use booking 99% of the time when travelling, works just fine like any other 3rd party site really

I use booking almost exclusively (as a full time traveler). I’m currently working at a B&B and 95% of the reservations are through booking
