Surprisingly not a scam
Seems like all there are on here are negative reviews for MuseTrip. I took a risk cause the price was so cheap (3 night stay was $508 vs the 1200+ other sites/the hotel was asking for). I knew it could go awry, as it can with any travel booking intermediary, but a couple days after booking I was surprised that, upon calling the hotel, they confirmed my reservation existed and that it was prepaid. They gave me the confirmation and I looked up the confirmation information online. It was pre-paid in the amount of over $1100, meanwhile I only paid $508. My stay came and went with absolutely no issues, and - while I don't know how the intermediary makes profit like this - I feel like I got a helluva a deal and felt compelled by my good experience to be one of the positive reviews.
