Accessibility Comments

Buttons are clearly labeled, the word icon is heard before some of them, but it doesn't effect knowing what the button does. When selecting the map button, then trying to choose another city from the one I was currently in, I could not get Voiceover to do anything. There is a search feature where cities can be entered and this allowed me to search for hotels in a different location. When in the map view, double tap the List button at the bottom of the screen to return to the current location's list of hotels.

key access points about App not mentioned

There are 2 points that should be made about this app. One is that I have not found a way with VO to reserve more than one night though one can reserve up to 5. The next is that to confirm a booking, one must trace a bed with a finger. You can do some of this by email and even by calling but the support gets concerned about calling because that requires the callers to give payment info to staff when it is contained already in one's user account.
