]]> Comment on Expedia to buy hotel booking site Venere by Pauline http://www.sloweurope.com/blog/2008/travel-europe/expedia-to-buy-venere/#comment-425 Pauline Sun, 10 Aug 2008 16:26:36 +0000 http://www.sloweurope.com/blog/?p=414#comment-425 I think Expedia will continue to run it as a separate website with the same policies. Booking.com also lets you cancel without fees (according to the hotel policy). With Expedia, you are usually getting a cheaper price - so they make it harder to cancel. (That is my guess!)

I think it was only there for a few months, because it was in late 2006 that I noticed it. I always compare Venere and Booking.com too - both sites are good to book with.
