We were staying at Jiva Beach before and liked it sooo much we wanted to book an extra night so i looked on booking.com to see how much then went to reception to ask about booking another night, the hotel was more expensive then booking.com same thing happened at the Tirayki ( now blueberry) both times I made the extra nights booking via booking.com...
I have just heard back from Jiva re our April booking as made that ages ago with booking.com and all is fine Jiva said as did I think John that this court thing is for Turkish customers only...

I was staying in Antalya for 3 nights liked the hotel so much we asked to stay another 2 nights at reception they gave us a price which was dearer than their web site price and booking.com after a discussion with the manager he let us stay for the same price as the web site witch was a saving of £30 per night  :D

I have checked into a hotel in London with someone who thought it had also been booked there but hadn't. The rate quoted was way more than I paid online but they would not budge.

So I got my laptop out on their reception desk, using their wifi, and booked online. Turned my laptop round to show the receptionist the booking confirmation and she checked him in as if he'd just that minute walked in.

Back to the original question, it means that, at the mom, you cannot book any Turkish hotel thro Booking.com from Turkey. A message to that effect comes up if you try

We always use Sunshine.co.uk. find them very good and cheaper than most when we book hotels in Turkey.

Looks like Tripadvisor is next on the hit list.

I wonder just how many organisations will be cited before they discover that there is competition out there?

All of the ones that aren't Turkish companies

Resently booked my wife and four friends into an apartment complex in Liverpool. Checked booking.com then checked the direct website. It worked out cheaper to book direct.

Also booked the wife and her mum into a hotel in Torquay. Direct was same price but included a full English.

Always worth a phone call.
