That you are using booking .com to book a hotel room is irrelevant - whether there is VAT depends on whether the hotel itself is VAT registered, which the overwhelming majority probably will be. You'll need to ask the hotel to give you a VAT invoice when you stay.
(Booking .com don't take your money - the hotel does. Booking .com then charges the hotel a commission, which they take - usually by direct debit - a little later.)

I hadn't noticed that the references to the name in my post had become links. I can see the logic of the parser doing that, but it gets a bit silly when all references to a trading name - which happens to be a domain name - are changed.
Also, I notice the OP's reference to them wasn't automatically changed to a hyperlink. (Possibly because the OP has only made [that] one post?)
Personally, if I'm mentioning a company in a web page and linking to them is appropriate, I only link to one instance of their name, not all of them. In fact, I might just do a smidgeon of editing to that post...
