Just had a horrific experience with priceline.

Booked half board for 2 adults and a child through them. My spidery senses tingled so I checked with the hotel and they'd only booked for 2 adults, and only breakfast.

Try as I might I could neither get them to comprehend the issue, or accept fault (preferring to blame the hotel somehow).

Long story short: don't be like NotJohn, don't use priceline - your stress levels will thank you

Thanks, I guess I should have listened to my head. I have to admit, I'm a bit value conscious so get seduced by the lower price but will definitely be more likely to book direct next time.

I always assumed it was because I'm old and out of date but I'd definitely never buy a flight from anywhere but direct

Don’t feel bad. Those companies have an obligation to deliver on their promised services. It’s absolute bullshit they get away with this crap. You have every right to be angry and you’re not alone.
