Yeah, I either go directly to a hotel's website (using Google Maps to find it) or to AirBNB if I'm looking for an apt because of a bad experience with booking.com.

For this one the owner had actually added it to google maps as “Garden View Hotel” or whatever it was called. It was very confusing because I got dropped by a cab and then spent around 20 minutes trying to find the “hotel”. It was only when I double checked the confirmation email that I saw that to “access reception” I needed to “enter 87 on the intercom buzzer”.

That sucks. When I want a hotel I want easy check in.

Airbnb is not better. Even worse if you consider absence of sorting and poor filtering there. Also no responsibility they take.
