If there are no properties available for the category you choose, it shows a full page of ads. Very interesting. |

Let's try this feature and search for mistyped destinations or hostels! ![]() Google is know for offering even more relevant results than HW, so I guess this move is a kick into HW's own balls... ![]() So far it passed through my basic test but I guess there are smarter and pickier members than me on this forum...

Tripadvisor is another site with heavy "sponsored links". I attached a screenshot of the page of ads that pops up and covers my screen when I do a search on Tripadvisor. I wonder if the future of booking engines is to integrate ads. Boo.com links directly to properties' websites, so there is a chance that some travelers will bypass the booking engines completely.
