I noticed a long while back that RyanAir do exactly the same thing with regard to cookies. I've since told friends & family to clear their cookie cache when browsing sites like these! @John & Darren.

One would think they would learn! Aaron It is odd how so many sites still exist with poor hosting and updates during peak times. One would think they would learn! Aaron

Not sure why as they should not have to pay tax, thus making it 17% cheaper! I live in Jerusalem and just booked my Chicago based parents-in-law 2 nights at a Jerusalem hotel that is part of a chain. I saved them $75 by booking it myself. I wonder when else we've all been ripped off like this. In Israel it is a given that tourists pay more.

It could depend on the company, but pricing thats coming directly from hotels can go up and down dynamically as available room numbers change. Currency could play a part in that, but I don't know why it would go back down on the refresh? @John- I haven’t seen this either, but would love to see an example of it?
