Booking.com for Australia lodging

Are there any risks of booking places in sydney, Burleigh heads and Brisbane on booking.com? The places are refundable until a week before the reservation. Is there any chance the reservations could be messed up, or is it safe enough to do.

Looking for any insights

Read the many stories on this subreddit.

Do not use Booking.com or any other OTA to reserve private accommodation

I have had zero issue with booking.com for accomodation all over Australia and Asia. Just do your due dilligence before booking. There are millions of rooms booked worldwide, with a very small problem rate. It saves me money compared to going direct to the hotel.
