We had a reservation, confirmed, for a decent hotel for one night due to an early morning sporting event. The rate was $104. We got there around 8 PM and were told by the hotel that they didn't have our reservation and were full. They instructed me to call hotels.com, which I did. They said they would have to call the hotel to check on it themselves and put me on hold. While I was on hold, the call was disconnected. I had to call back and wait on hold for several minutes for the the second time. I was again told that they would have to call the hotel to check, and was put on hold. When it was determined that there were no rooms, I was sent to another department for rebooking, I thought. In that department, I was again told that they would have to call the hotel and was yet again put on hold. Again, I was disconnected but had been told if that happened the agent would call me back. I never got a call back. By this time we had been going back and forth for an hour, it was getting dark, and we had nowhere to stay. So, I had to call and wait on hold yet again. The new agent had to call the hotel to check on the room one more time when I got through again. At this point, my husband was calling every hotel in the area and couldn't find a room. Finally, the agent determined that they would find us a new room, but, of course, they couldn't find anything either. She suggested at one point that if I had a car, maybe I could drive around and find a room. It was now 10 PM and we had nowhere to stay. We finally found a room ourselves for $144. It was a terrible hotel in a sketchy neighborhood. Loud music and yelling occurred throughout the night, the milk at the breakfast was sour, and we didn't feel safe. We would have been so much better off leaving home at 5 in the morning than staying. After lame excuses from the agent and her telling us how terrible she felt that we had nowhere to stay, she offered a $50 credit or a room 40 minutes away. I just wonder how this happened. I definitely can't trust hotels.com anymore and would advise others to book hotels in a different way. It was a nightmare that didn't get taken care of well at all. I feel like so much more should have been done and this never should have happened. Incidentally, one of my daughter's teammates got a room at our original hotel by just walking in shortly before we arrived. Terrible.

Found red roof inn booked on your site. It was located in rolling park Baltimore Maryland. The room was disgusting stains on bedding. Bathroom door dont shut. Vanity is broken in bathroom. Vanity is filthy. Bed uncomfortable. Blinds dont shut. This place is filthy the pics on your page do not go with what the property looks like. This place is awful. I have had good experiences with hotels.com but this is the worst. If you need further information [protected]@yahoo.com

Dear hotels.com,

We have booked a hotel room with balkony at the blugreen vacation the soundings, ascend resort collection - dennis port from 11. July 2018 to july 18, 2018. Reservation no. [protected].

We got a room with no balkony. Instead we can view a parking lot from three windows.in addition, we overlook a corridor to the elevator from another window. Outside bedroom no. 1 is placed 7 ventilation engines. Outside bedroom no. 2 is placed 4 ventilation engines. These ventilation engines turn on and off at different times and have levels of noise which keeps you awake at night.

We immediately complained to the hotel and the receptionist (zac) promised to re-book us to another room on friday 13. July 2018. On july 12 the manager (of zac) refused to move us to the room we had been promised (and in fact ordered).

Please help out urgently or refund this stay.

Best regards,

I recently stayed on june 27th at an econolodge hotel in redgranite wisconsin. I made the reservation online for $74/room (2 rooms 2 people) per night (1 night only) and when it came time to pay for them I entered my credit card number the first time and it said they could not process it. So I started all over paid for it again and that time it worked. And then receive two emails with two different confirmation numbers. I waited until I got there and explained it to the hotel owner and he did not give a rat's [censored] about the double booking/ two different confirmation numbers. I spoke with two different people about this and they said they would look into it and send it for review, I have not heard anything back and I want my refund for $156. 14. This is bad business practice and very unfair.

On July 1st, 2018 I booked a room at the Ridgeline Hotel in Estes Park Colorado for one night 7/2/18 for myself and my wife. The receipt for $109.04 which I received from Hotels.com is different from the $274.96 my credit card was charged. After a dozen conversations and hours of my time I have given up on a clear explanation. There was a severe language barrier since I only speak English. And if I don't pay the extra $ 165.92, it goes to collections and my credit suffers.
But the real kicker is I have already sent in the Hotels.com satisfaction email with the highest rating I could give. Good by Hotels.com!

To book hundreds of hotels per year and receive the service I received this week is disgraceful. I have tried to get my free nights unlocked for 9 days now and no one is capable of doing this. I even spoke with a supervisor (after calling back twice, as they wont let you hold for any management). She said she had no authority to unlock free nights even after acknowledging I had been waiting for a full week. She was also informed that with every attempt I was told that it would be 72 hours for the nights to be unlocked... After a full week of waiting, the supervisor then said it would be another 72 hours. I still have no nights unlocked and it is astonishing any of these people still have jobs. I am almost certain there are no supervisors at this call center in Baguio and they simply pass the phone around to whoever they choose is the supervisor that day. It is the worst customer service I have ever received and I am in the event planning/marketing field.

Just so we are clear.. I called 9 days ago and was told it would be up to 72 hours, then called again 3 days later and told the same thing.. then called again when it had been a total of 7 days and still told to wait 72 hours by a supervisor who had no authority to do anything. On day nine, I am still unable to book hotel rooms.

Felt very rushed booking my reservation for a hotel in Kingston Ontario last minute and I was not told I was paying in US $ when I saw the debit on my credit card I paid an addition 40$ for the room than I was expecting I was not informed air con was out of service or that the pool was not heated! Very disappointed and will not use this service again.

I booked many hotels with Hotels.com, but there was a booking under my bookings that was not mine, it wasn't even for the dates that I needed, they refused to refund the money, and they cancelled the booking without informing me, and they did not want to refund me for the $1350 dollars that they took of my credit card.
I have contact hotels.com, but they don't care nor do they want to help.

A situation occurred when checking in with my boyfriend being over charged on his credit card. The balance on the room was $237.00 and the resort charged him $389.00 plus $400.00. They continued to swipe his card so much that the bank blocked his card and they had an $800 hold on his funds from the resort. As he continued to ask why were they were charging him so much the front desk clerk told him that they didn't. He called his bank and they let him know his many times they swiped his card (which was like 6 times) and they blocked the card for security purposes. The front desk manager was called out and she became very rude and attempted to embarrass him even though they were in the wrong. I ended up using my credit card so that we were able to check in. They put a $400 hold on my card which was suppose to be for $100 per night for incidentals and the remaining balance of the resort which still didn't calculate out correctly. My boyfriend called corporate and they told him that he was over charged and that they will send notification to the front desk. Upon checking out, I reviewed the receipt and it stated that his card will be charged $237 which was correct. In return I asked about the $400 hold on my credit card and I was told that they will not be charging my card and the funds will be released. I checked my card and I was chargef for the $237.00 for the room and $800 is still on hold in my boyfriends bank account. Very frustrating and unprofessional on their behalf.

I had booked for several days while my husband was in the hospital. He was having difficulty & had to be moved to ICU. I called the hotel, told them I was going to be unable to come over to check-in, but I still needed to the keep the room for my week. I told them I knew I would charged for the night I didn't show, but that was fine. The clerk said they had my card on file, so it would just be charged to that until I was able to come over to check in. When I checked in the phone didn't work, there was no stopper in bathtub so I could take a bath. Reported twice, but nothing ever happened. Two nights when I got to the room I had no bath towels & the next, no wash rags. You rolled to the center on the bed, because it sunk in the middle. I ended up having to extend by stay & I knew the price would increase. When I went to check out, instead of the $85 I was supposed to have been charged for the 1st week, they charged me $139. I showed them my Hotels confirmation and they kept saying, leave us a phone number we will find your sign in paper and call you. I told them everything should be in their computer and they finally got a manager. He looked and said, " You were put in the computer as a "No Show", so when you finally checked in, you were considered a "walk-in" and that's the price. My son was sitting right by me when I called them and could hear everything that was said on the phone. The mgr said, you didn't book thru us, so this is between you & Hotels.Com.
Even though he claimed I was marked a "no show" I was still charged the 139 price.

I contacted Hotels.Com and was told basically...it's not our problem. We can't make the hotel honor the price quoted. No one wants to take responsibility for this issue & it's not right. As far as I'm concerned Hotels.Com should see to the price in my reservation is honored, but won't. The hotel manager basically could have cared less they were over-charging and not honoring my quoted price.

I would like to have the difference of the over-charge refunded to my credit card.

What a shame neither of these places take ownership of unfair issues like this.

I spoke with alleged Supv JC and Agent Jason who both were extremely unhelpful and did nothing to get me into my room. I spent an hour in the lobby on hold while they did nothing to pay the hotel for which I had already paid hotels.com for. I will never use hotels.com ever again for their extreme laziness and disregard to my time and personal respect.

On 15 May 2018, I booked via Hotels.com (confirmation 148086593056) and I applied a promotional coupon "Get 1 reward night". The coupon was offered in promotional email that I received in early May. However, after completion of my stay in the hotel, I did not receive a "reward night".

I contacted the customer service of Hotels.com but they could not help but kept asking me what that coupon was. The original code that I used was in an old promotional email which I could not retrieve. (I tend not to retain old emails from Hotels.com because they are too numerous and jam my mailbox.)

I sent them the attached email confirmation of the booking 148086593056, where it is clearly marked in green words. Their replies being "... our apologies that we are unable to retrieve this code and there's no way that we can track or get it again. This is just the way of the program, we do need the code for us to validate it and to add the bonus night. We apologize that we are unable to resolve this issue to your satisfaction. " -- very persistent even though I am a long-time customer.

Actually, it is just a small amount and a small offer from Hotels.com, which is rather negligible to me. However, I feel a bit irritated that I was misled and trapped.

I booked a room for January. Confirmation code- [protected]. My flight got cancelled due to weather and I had to cancel my room. I was told that I would get a full refund. I had bought a Hotels.com gift card, and used it on some of the reservation. Your company was supposed to refund me with a $350 gift card. I got an email with the gift card. On the e-mail is said a $350 refund. When I finally opened the e-gift card to use, the balance on the card was only $93. I had never used the card. I spent 2 hours on the phone being bounced back and fourth between departments who kept saying they couldn't help me, it was the other departments problem. I finally gave up and tried to get help on-line. I never had anyone get in contact with me from that.
I tried to call again yesterday, because I made a reservation from your company. I got the run around again. I begged the lady Joanne (employee number 089999) to let me speak to a manager and not send me to another department again, but she said her manager would only tell me what she did and refused to let me speak to a manager. Then she put me on hold. After about 20 minutes, I gave up and hung up.
Today, I have made 4 calls to speak to a manager, and I have not talking to one yet. I have been hung up on, told they could not hear me (manager Mark) and this last time I spoke to Martin in customer service (he refused to give me his last name and said they didn't have employee numbers) and he just put me on hold and never came back to me.
This is my last resort. I am going to get a lawyer if I do not get this matter settled either by getting a new gift card in my e-mail with the correct amount, or a manager calling me at [protected]. At this point, it either has to be fraud or theft.

I had original reservation at the Golden Bear cottages in big bear California. Upon booking the reservation it stated there was a kitchen in the cottage that will be rented. Upon arriving to the cottage there was no kitchen and I called Hotels.com in which they help me find a new place that can accommodate What I was requesting for in my original reservation at the Golden bear cottage and with what I had paid for. I was then charged for a reservation fee for the new place and informed that because the previous cottage could not fulfill what we had requested we can call and we will be refunded the original cottage fee. The next day I checked and I was charged three times and not two times for the previous cottage the Golden bear cottage and when calling them they stated they will not be refunding me the money because they had contacted me and stated they had a cottage available. I never had any contact with anybody only hotels.com had contact with them and I have been charged three times for one reservation. At this time I am not able to get back the other charges and I'm highly upset. I go through Hotels.com all of the time when I go on any trips and I also set up trips for my co workers and clients through hotels.com. I've never had any problems and this problem has financially hit me as I'm not getting refunded for the previous college. I have spoke with Hotels.com and they stated they have an email from the Golden Bear cottages stating they spoke with me which is false. I don't know what else to do but at this time I have been charged three times for one booking and I will no longer be going through Hotels.com if this is not fixed. Thank you

Hello Sirs,

The confirmation number above has been confirmed since Dec. 2017. We had confirmation from Anna Apartments and the reservation company (Agia) three days before the check-in date.

Only one day before we arrive an email sent by the reservation company decided not informing that our reservation has been canceled and we have to take another hotel reservation.

Anna and Ellias (the owner of the hotel) were very nice and tried to help but the reservation company in Athens were very rude and they told me either I do take what they do offer (spend 3 hours from our honeymoon time) or I have to contact hotels.com
Hotels.com confirmed my reservation while they could not guarantee it. We had to accept to stay in another place called Santorini Family Apartments which they were very nice to us. Please contact me on [protected]

On 6/9/2018 my husband and I attended a concert in Forest Hills NY. He booked a room at the Rago Park Wyndham for the wrong night(6/16/2018). We called hotels.com and the representative got permission from the hotel to cancel our reservation and re-book us at the Laguardia South Marriott for 6/9/2018. When we tried to check in, we still hadn't received a confirmation number but the new room was pending on our account. The hotel held our bags and when we returned from the concert at 1:00am we still had not received a confirmation number. We were left without a room because the hotel was fully booked for the night. We use hotel.com frequently and this was not a very positive experience for us.

me and my partner booked with hotels.com to stay in sorrento italy, the details on the location of the hotel was no where near .we were up in the mountains at least about 4 miles from the city centre. in the the details about location it said 1km from port that is not true .we also was told we were in a twin room with a sea view, we was put in a triple room with no view unless we went on to the main terrace which was a lovely view but not what we were told.so i would like to say that our stay in italy was horrendous because of this.i cried for the first 3 days of our stay because we had to get taxis to go to the centre because the buses wasnt regular or didnt turn up every time we had a taxi we were charged 40 to 50 euros a time we walked to the town twice which was very steep steps and walk way my partner and myself were very distressed about this we spent over 400 euros in 3 days on taxis .on the 3rd night of our stay we had a taxi to hotel the taxi driver couldnt find it and was shouting at us the fare was 55 euros and we only had 50 euros and still not at our hotel so taxi driver put us out further up than our hotel and left us in the middle of nowhere basically .we were both upset and angry it 1am at night no lightd
s and all roadway down hill, my partner fell in the road and cut his knee we eventually found our hotel about an hour later very upset that i could not stay there anymore, the next day we had to re-book another hotel .because our experience of our stay in italy was spoiled i will never use hotels.com again and definatly not recomend them .

We stayed at a hilton expecting exceptional service when in fact it's far from what we received. We checked in on a saturday afternoon on 6/9/18. On sunday we left our hotel room at 9am to go hiking. We returned at 5pm to see our room had never been serviced. Our trash was still over flowing.

My husband contacted the front desk to ask why and that we needed someone at this point to at least remove the trash. Someone had been in our room to replenish our "snacks" bc we had a premium room @180 a night but nothing else done. They came took the trash and I had to actually replace the trash bag myself bc they didn't stay to even do that.

Day 2. Monday. We leave at 11:30 to go hiking... And return at 5pm.. And again our room was not cleaned. No bed made. No towels removed or replaced. This time I went to the front desk and asked for the manager. Yolanda tho fromt desk supervisor says he gone but that she will email him. She then attempts to say she will get someone up there. I told her explicitly that no one cleaned sunday or today. And now I was ticked off. That's the one service we should receive daily. She explains nothing else... And I go back to my room. She then calls and tells me her housekeeper said we had our dnd on the door until 2:30pm. To which I told her was a lie and I had photos with date stamped from our trip at noon, 1:00pm from watkins glen..40 mins away.

Someone does show up and brings in more towels and then fixes the bed.

Day 3 tuesday... Our last day there. We leave about 11am. This time the room is cleaned (tho not great)...

I have started posting my negative reviews and the gm... Responds stating.."i'm glad we could speak and address this and that it was explained to you..

1) I never received a call from the gm nor did yolanda explain anything

2) the gm explained that their housekeepers clean from 9am to 330pm... And yet on sunday no one touched our room... Other than the snack guy.

3) our room on tuesday was only cleaned bc I had to [censored] about it.. And we left at 11am... Which according to the gm... The reason the room wasn't cleaned on the 2nd day was our fault bc we didn't call to make a"special" time... Yeah right...

This location is a joke and the general manager is just as much of a joke and did nothing to try to resolve my complaint or even call to try to diffuse me. I can go stay at other locations for much less... And will never recommend this facility to anyone. I am waiting to see how corporate handles this issue... Is nothing happens I will stop utilizing hilton brand and ensure it's all over social media

I received a confirmation email for a reservation I never made. I called the customer support line to find out what was going on. I was told to check my credit card and see if I was charged. If not, don't worry about it. I asked why I got the email and if the email would be sent to the proper person. No answer to either question.. All I was getting was canned responses from a person I could barely understand. I'm guessing from the lousy service that their support is out of India. I was able to dig through the confirmation email and find the email address for the person that made the reservation and contacted him. He thanked me for doing what Hotels.com can't seem to do. With this kind of support I don't think I will be using Hotels.com any longer.
