Rate a bit below everyone else, with reasonable tax amount, showed in Google travel search, but clicking through yielded this message: "rate no longer available." Then was offered same rate as other sites with a 40% upcharge labeled as "tax"... Eventually went through older established travel site that showed a higher rate to start, but with a normal tax rate. Total charge came to well below Snaptravel total. Won't waste my time again.
Hi there, the hotel rates we sell are dynamic, which means they're always changing based on demand and availability. We do our best to find the most competitive rates, but have no control over price fluctuations. The taxes and fees that you see in your confirmation voucher are comprised of applicable local taxes & service fees. While charging fees is necessary for running a business, we do try to keep them as low as possible to provide our customers with the best rates.
