People are getting downvoted for criticizing booking.com. They're a shit company and everyone who works in tech in The Netherlands knows it.

Their hyper aggressive marketing strategy is already telling. Their website randomly pops up when you search and book the flight already. Spanish holiday rental owners don't even advertise anywhere else afraid of booking.com price match policy, but are insolent enough to collect full photo of guests' id document and install cameras inside apartment. Booking is the only place to book holiday rental in Europe and I hate using their service.
What does that have to do with their user facing experience?

Last I heard they're also a company that actually hires juniors there.
