       Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
       Overview
       Financial Summary and Business Trends , page 37

   1.                                                   We note on page 14 that
pending the finalization of the terms of Brexit during the
                                                        transition process
through December 31, 2020, the Company is unable to predict the effect
                                                        Brexit will have on its
business and results of operations. Notwithstanding, please address
                                                        the underlying reasons
for the year over year decline in your UK revenues since 2017 as
                                                        reported on page 115
and whether you expect such trend to continue. Refer to Item
                                                        303(a)(3)of Regulation
S-K.

Note 4. Revenue Recognition
Disaggregation of Revenue, page 90

2.       Please tell us how your current presentation of disaggregated revenues
depicts the nature,
         amount, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows as affected
by economic
         factors. In this regard, we note in your earnings call and on pages
88-89, that you referred
         to discrete revenue streams including but not limited to hotel
metasearch auction revenues,
         hotel B2B revenues, media revenues, booking commissions, transaction
fees (seated diner
         fees), subscription-based advertising, and display advertising. Refer
to ASC 606-10-55-
         89 and 90.

Revenue and Geographic Information , page 114

3.       We note on page 11 that at least two of your significant advertising
partners, Expedia and
         Booking, accounted for a combined 33% of total revenues. Please
provide information
         regarding the extent of your reliance on major customers which provide
10% or more of
         your revenues. Refer to ASC 280-10-50-42.

of Operations
Adjusted EBITDA, page 38

4.       We note that your discussion of Adjusted EBITDA, absent a preceding
discussion of Net
         Income/ Loss, is inconsistent with Q&A 102.10 of the CD&I on Non-GAAP
Financial
         Measures (April 4, 2018). Please revise in future filings.
        We remind you that the company and its management are responsible for

and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action
or absence of
action by the staff.
