Was looking at Key West in the summer and it's very expensive for accommodation but checked the app and there's cheaper options that are not on the desktop site with the mobile only discount.

Sure Muff knows all about Key West as it's his back door he will need to worry about . 

It's a top spot and a great drive down from the north of FL .

I'd add one thing. If you find a hotel that you're happy with on booking.com, always check the price on the hotel's own website before booking as booking.com isn't always cheaper.

I found another hotel today with free cancellation and just went and booked this as I'm pissed off with the hotel on my original booking. Can I get out of this without paying anything? I'm hoping they just try to take money again and if there's nothing in my account, they'll just cancel it on their side. 

I had something similar, just didn't top up my Revolut card for a while, and they didn't get my money

Balls. I just checked my account and it's still at zero. I'm sure they'll try to take it again.

did you not realise that booking.com and targetrent car hire in rome are the same people minty? suppose you always pay the "malachy" tax - the tax for people who book things while not having a breeze what they're doing. poor aul malachy ended up paying €500 for two return flights to krakow when everyone else paid €100 a head!
