I am writing this to let people find out ahead of time what I found out the hard way. GlobalHotel.com exists strictly to gouge customers who don't know it.
First: the fact that they splash Orbitz all over their site and product, it is NOT Orbitz and you are not getting Orbitz rates.
Second: If you found them, like I did, through a discounted gift card rate, don't think you found a bargain. I was hoping to combine some discounted cards, but found that only one $50 card is redeemable per transaction, a whopping $5 savings, before you get gouged for hundreds.
Third: The website looks and feels like it was built in the 1990's. Clunky. You put in the name of the country you are going and then it asks for the city, though rather than give you a drop down menu, you type it in and hope that 1) there is avaialbility and you aren't just wasting your time and 2) it's spelled exactly right. One mistake, and all of your input information is dumped and you start over.
Fourth: I had been looking at multiple ranges of hotels in many cities when I eyeballed their rates and missed how out of line they were. They have a long matrix of different rates, which helps masks the real pricing difference. These rates are not just a few dollars off, they are 50% - 75% more. In my case, just by skipping them to book a Hilton hotel that is not particularly expensive for its class, saved me $200 going to the Hotel website instead. That's $200 that they almost gouged me with for a short stay.
Their practices are deceptive and uncouscionable. They need to go out of business. Pick any other booking service or the hotel directly over these scammers. You will save money, without a doubt.
