Suggestions that the DMA could compel Booking.com as Gatekeeper to include direct booking links to hotels' own websites on their platform, sound like a dream come true for hotels. However, a closer examination reveals that this expectations may have been overly optimistic.

In an unprecedented move, NYC more or less bans Airbnb hosting, by limiting guests to two and requiring the host to be present during stays. New fines enforced.

So you’re going on a holiday and want to book a great hotel or an apartment? Do yourself a favour: don’t use a site like Booking.com.
