The Travel Juggernaut That Forgot the Traveler.
Booking.com blows up the travel game — but only in ways that line its own pockets. Hidden fees, scam listings that linger, ghost reservations, and refusal to refund until you escalate.
Then there’s the ugly truth: listing stays in illegal settlements tied to war crimes.
It’s corporate convenience masquerading as hospitality, leaving travelers stranded and neighborhoods overrun.
Verdict: Not SphstRDnck.
They wreck mom-and-pop setups, then ghost you when the bill comes due.
