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)

My wife has a friend who works as a hotel receptionist. She said they often give guests free upgrades when they book directly through the hotel website. I still use booking.com to get an overview of available hotels in an area. But once I've decided on a hotel, I'll try to go to their own website.
