OTAs Upset These Innkeepers
What We Heard From Innkeepers Last Week
“What Booking.com/Booking Suite has done should be illegal (but I’m sure it’s not). They changed everything without telling me. They removed photos, changed text…They did everything including branding to get more business for them and then charge me a commission on every sale. AND they charge me $339 a month. For What?”
“We were with Boutique which was great but then they sold out to Booking .com and it is terrible, bad service. Booking.com started taking reservations without telling us and people were showing up at the inn with paper confirmation of reservations we knew nothing about. Of course, we were booked and these guests were angry. Booking.com didn’t seem to care.” E. S.
“Signed up with Yelp for 45 days. There was no fee, but we were paying nearly $5 a click. Over the 45 day period we paid $600. We did not see any business from Yelp, so we dropped the listing.”
