The booking states that the price given is the TOTAL price one should pay, but for my last booking, the hotel added a 25% VAT, in addition to the 6% VAT that Booking had already added. An additional 25% on a $5000 bill was something of a shock. This sort of false information does not increase my level of trust in Booking.com: "Totalbeløpet du ser her, er den summen du skal betale til overnattingsstedet. Booking.com tar verken bookinggebyrer, administrasjonsgebyrer eller andre gebyrer av gjestene." We had 3 bookings totaling 35, 840 Norwegian kroner, including breakfast. With the extra 25%, we suddenly had to pay 44, 800 kroner.
