what was stopping hotels from already doing this?
Why do hotels not do this already?
Great! Hotels don't like this.
+1booking & hotel are just abusing their power ... there is no another perspective here
Try visiting a hotel that uses them, for reference.
So much cheaper to pay hotels...?
Agree, but the hotel will not alocate the all the rooms for booking/other platforms, just N rooms at Y$ price.
Is there anything similar for hotels?
I see no different behaviour from what can happen on an hotel... and I don't see hotels complaining...
Just book a hotel. Same price, less hassle.
