My experience with hotwire was great when I was in Canada, when I moved to Germany, the website is really a problem for your journey instead of being a facilitator or solution. First, Hotwire overrate the hotels, instead of being 3 stars, they rate it 4 stars. I booked a hotel that was described as "elegant hotel" and 4 stars, and when I got the hotel name, I found it was a piece of garbage, and worth not more than 2 stars. I called Hotwire and they said it was rated by Expedia and we follow their rate (their partner).
The second issue, I found the hotel way cheaper on booking and even the hotel website.
Ok, Hotwire was not bad when it comes to America and Canada, but it sucks in Europe

I worked as client for upwork since it was called oDesk, I have had many open contracts for designers, programmers and developers. I tried to work as a freelancer and I managed to win many contracts, but suddenly my account was suspended and all my contracts were suspended too, as result I couldn't force the freelancers that I hired to continue working and I lost a year of working. I called the support team, an old rude American woman who has no authority to do any thing but telling you to hold and ask you then to talk to the support using ticket system.
By the way, upwork claims that your earning is protected if you choose to be paid hourly, false, they will suspend your account instead.

I worked on oDesk for 3 months, I was hired by a client who eventually did not pay for oDesk so they decided to suspend my and her account and said that my account is linked to her account! Support and Risk Management teams refused to answer any question.
