Sad to see the top comments in the thread not even bothering to discuss the technical reasons and legal implications behind this .. and instead everyone wants to just discuss unrelated anecdotes about their personal travels.

The story here is about how booking.com is screwing over hotels and hostels, not guests. Someone should create a different thread for that, because apparently people have a very strong need to tell their tangentially related stories.

You've seen how discussions work in real life right? There's no requirement to stick to some topic at hand, it's a free-flowing dialogue. That's what you're seeing happen in this discussion board too.
