I used to use booking.com a lot. I can cope with the dark patterns and the aggressive anxiety based encouragement (although I find it repulsive).

But more recently what's put me off is many of their listings aren't hotels, they are private landlords letting apartments Airbnb style. I'd like to be able to filter out those types of listings because having had a few bad experiences with AirBnB in the past what I usually want is a hotel. I don't want to deal with a private landlord hassling me, cleaning deposits, and rules, etc.

Have you tried filtering search results by "Property Type" (Hotel) and "Property Rating" (3-star, etc.)?

They have a filter for that (that I always use).

Isn't it just easier to go to the hotel chain you prefer and search the map though?
