olotels.com travel booking site for hotels

I have used them with no problem. If you're worried about it just email or call the hotel to confirm your reservation before you leave.

Mickie...It varies but in I have found the hotel sites are usually higher than what you find on travel booking sites. One travel booking site will not be the answer for every hotel in every city but searching online usually beats the hotel rates for me.

Thanks for all the input. I am leary of using them - seems like some people like them but a lot had problems - I think I'll pay the $30 or so extra it will be (for 3 nights) for the particular hotel I'm using - that is the next best deal I'm finding for it. I don't want to risk a problem traveling with family including young kid - if it were just me I'd probably take the risk - but we will be getting in late and if there is a problem it would be really stressful to have to deal with it at that time.

This is nothing but a Trading Company which depends of other suppliers to give them rooms...They confirmed me a Sala Pool Villa in Koh Samui on 14th Feb to stay between 1st April to 10th April (9 nights) and took 2200€ immediately from my account..Send a Shitty voucher and said all is confirmed enjoy your stay..BTW the price was not a bargain..Only 70€ cheaper to other trust able website like Hotels.com or Expedia...Anyways They call me on 2nd March and say Sorry to inform Sir the Hotel had a problem and they are closed in first 2 weeks of April..I dint buy their story as i have a friend who has booked the same time from Expedia..I called the hotel directly and they said they never had a booking or request on my name, they also added this is standard excuse these trading company makes last minute, so you have no option and then they offer you cheaper and last minute empty options probably with a free Dinner which cost nothing....Last thing they offer is Money back after using it for a month to pay thier other debts off (Ponzi scheme) and return you the money which comes after 2 weeks...Now i kknow why soo many Hotel website have cropped up lately...Anyways i have stayed probably 300 nights in hotels in last 4 years...From Bellagio Vegas - Banyan tree Phuket - to Rajvillas Jaipur though Hotels.com but this first attempt with Olotels.com has ruined my Vacation..All the hotels are full or soo much expensive compared to when i booked with this A**Holes now....All i can say thier Voucher and Word has No true Value and you never know u have a confirmed reservation will you check in!

I tried using this site last night to book in Austin, Texas. My bank (chase) flagged the purchase and wouldnt let it process. I received an email with a reservation number but it requested I finish my booking. the site says no refunds. when i call the Hotel direct, they said they never received a reservation from them. They have never heard of olotels. Thank god my card wasnt charged. i decided not to use this site.

I was a victim of an unauthorized transactions on VISA credit card, misused the data from database Olotes.com.
My Visa Card is from Serbia and was misused. I had 7 unauthorized transactions on amounts 30 USD, 20 USD; 60USD, 80 USD, 500 USD, 80 USD, 5 USD....In April 2013 I did a full payment before go to the hotel and left the card number and CCV code on booking.
DON'T DO BUSINESS WITH THEM!!!!!

Hallo,

This is not misunderstandings!!!!

My card is blocked by Bank and I filled out the questionnaire for unauthorized card use and cyber criminal. The investigation leads to you-Olotels.com…Your staff have sold or stolen data and use for third part.
From Serbia three is 3 different Bank (Raiffeisen Bank , Piraeus Bank, Banca Intesa) confirmed that had been paid by you for hotels of 3 different people and month after payment , cards are use for transactions by the same organization “March of Dimes”

Problem is because some of your staff have sold or stolen data and use it!!!! Off course your technology can be security but you have people-staff who have access to all data base.

All our correspondence I will send to investigators for cyber criminal and my Piraeus Bank

In Friday 31.05.2013 I received restitution payments from The Organization "March OD Dimes".

There is a possibility that has been done the same encrypted applications of site, olotels.com and thus are picked data ... Definitely the abuse occurred and the investigation leading to the Olotels.com. Their technical support has to check the security of site because it is definitely ordered. It is also possible they keep the data ... I do not know really what is what happened but they are involved!
The last time with them I used the VISA card and left CCV code
