Who booked hotels through the booking site?
Is it reliable, why such low prices, differing by 200-300 dollars from the prices offered by tour companies?

Tour companies offer a package tour with flights, transfers and insurance, and on booking you book only the hotel itself.

I have been booking on booking for six years already, during this time everything was reliable, there were no overlaps. Often at booking, the price is lower not only than the prices of travel agencies (which can also take a commission on top of booking only a hotel without a tour), but also prices for direct bookings at the hotel itself.

If you add a flight, transfer, insurance, it will turn out to be more expensive than a package tour.

Booking is a very reliable booking site, operators will always help you if there are any problems with the booking. But booking is only a hotel, not plane tickets, etc., transfers from the airport to the hotel and back are included in the tours, when booking on your own, you pay for the transfer yourself. You also buy your own insurance. For tours from TO, it includes all the hotel + tickets for the charter + insurance + transfer.
I look when it’s profitable and book through booking or there are options to book on the hotel’s website itself, it will be a little cheaper than on booking. There are hotels that provide free transfer when booking

As for such countries as Egypt, Turkey (unless, of course, we are talking about a trip for a short time), then you definitely need to take a tour through TO. It makes sense to select and book by yourself to other countries, for example, to Thailand (this year there were excellent offers for Kyiv-Krabi flights) + you can choose accommodation according to your wishes and quite inexpensively. And it’s definitely more profitable to go to Egypt with a package.

I saw your other question about reef hotels, for example, on booking, the price for a hotel for 2 people per week in early November at reef oasis beach starts from $ 549,
air tickets Kyiv-Siambul-Sharm and back now at a discount from Turkish airlines you will pay for one person 14980 UAH, approximately $ 540,
you may be able to buy tickets for a charter it will be from about 250 euros or 295$ per person,
insurance 10$
and transfer if ordered in advance, let's say kiwi taxi then + 25 $

you also consider the type of food and hotel fees.
I have now booked a 5 * hotel through a tour operator in Ukraine, because. it’s more expensive for me through booking (even without a flight, I pay for it myself anyway)
in general, booking is a reliable site, but there are also mistakes with hotels, but these are isolated cases and depend on the country of booking

Exactly, Booking has such a sin - the hotel fees are written in small print below, the full cost is not immediately visible.

Vika284, let me add a little. When booking a hotel on your own, you have a much lower, if any, chance of buying a ticket on a charter flight. No one will probably argue that regular flights are much more expensive.
Insurance is cheaper to do it yourself, but you need to do it.

At booking, only breakfasts, basically, but at the hotel it’s all inclusive, and rightly people write + tickets + insurance + transfer, so count. Travel agencies because they buy rooms and hotels give big discounts. Therefore, sometimes the company is cheaper. Booked on booking before, it was always fine.
