    A scammer cannot take your money or details, they can only invite you to hand them over .. an unexpected email or phone call? Don't respond. Close that and then go directly online to the bank or whomever else in question. I don't book holidays...

    I have puzzled over this. I wouldn't discount that these scams originate from individual properties rather that from Booking.com. If someone has detected a vulnerability in the Booking.com IT system, I would expect that the company would be able...

    Like the last two years, I have already pre-booked all my accommodation for this year's Camino (Astorga - SdC). Where possible, I choose Booking.com with the option to cancel free of charge until shortly before the date. Only in rare cases do you...

    After becoming fed up with the durability issues of my Icebreaker Merino under-layers, I was looking at bamboo/poly or bamboo/cotton blends. Wondering if anybody has used this material and can comment on odor control, drying times, durability...
