What is the lawsuit about?

@TotallyLost Best price guarantee at booking is not legal. Hotel complex was not allowed to give a lower price than the cheapest price at booking

@Transporter Why do I agree to such contracts with booking? I also don't understand some of the hotels/accommodations.

@Aktienorang-Utan Because Booking.com has a natural monopoly. 60-70% of worldwide bookings are made via the platform. If you're not there, you miss out on a lot of customers.

@Aktienorang-Utan The answer is market power.
I rent out a small accommodation myself, if you are not on Booking and / or AirBnB then you practically don't exist.

They can do whatever they want with you and you can just nod and say yes.

@Portfoliopferd Well, and now they're getting the receipt for their business practices ...

@Charmin Well, in a platform market, growth comes first. When the critical mass is reached, it is reached. You are happy to pay a few billion in retrospect (if it gets that far).

@Portfoliopferd & @TotallyLost, thank you very much for your answers. I understand, one hand on all hands, as an overhand, and then set the tone. The players don't really have much competition in that area either.

This was already overturned in Germany years ago - I think HRS was the first to introduce it. Then last year in all other European countries. The lawsuit will now relate to this.

They are dissatisfied.
