BookVIP Reviews Summary

The company has garnered a mixed reputation, with significant concerns overshadowing positive experiences. Customers frequently report issues with booking processes, payment rejections, and unresponsive customer service, leading to frustrations and perceptions of a scam. Many reviews highlight a lack of transparency regarding terms and conditions, often resulting in unexpected fees and limitations on travel packages. Conversely, some customers have praised the overall quality of their trips and the value for money when services function as promised. However, the predominant sentiment indicates a need for improved communication and customer support to enhance trust and satisfaction.

Just finished my two back to back vacations with BookVip.com, 7 nights at Krystal Cancun and 3 Nights at Newport Beachside resort at Miami, Florida. Loved all inclusive package at Krystal, Cancun, with bonus of 2 additional nights, free Airport pickup, and $100 Amazon Gift card for paying full amount while booking the vacation. All services at Krystal were so great with friendly staff and in addition to amazing beach front resort. Also enjoyed, Newport beachside, ocean front resort, and shopping plaza just across the street. Great location!.
Thank you BookVIP.com for such incredible vacations at hard to believe cost. Love it.

They booked me in a time share in Punta Cana. The resort cancelled my reservation with no explanation and Book VIP wanted to send me to Cancun Mexico. Forget about the fact that I had already purchased non refundable plan tickets for 4. When I told them there is no way I could cancel they found me a resort in Punta Cana but I would have to pay an extra $400 per child which I had 2. What is the purpose of getting a deal and doing the time share if at the end they will charge you the same as if I would have booked without the obligation of a time share. This has ruined my whole vacation. I am not going to Punta Cana now- THANK YOU for that BookingVIP. I will never use your site again. ANother thing is you are not speaking to anyone in the US so the customer service is crap.

Total crap
February 4, 2018

We picked a great resort to visit in Playa del Carmen Mexico, Bookvip helped us make the reservation, upon further review the hotel was not available those nights and Bookvip found us a different hotel, a little more money but same location. We arrived at our hotel found out it wasn't even close to where we wanted to be, the place was a dump top to bottom. We stayed 1 night and left. Forget the fact they make you sit thru a 4 hour timeshare presentation. Why would any descent travel site tell you how great a resort is and it turns out to be a garbage dump.
My fault for not doing my homework, but I'll never use Bookvip again.

I paid the entire price for the vacation deal with open dates for 12 months, got the confirmation emails, but when i called the customer service to actually book the dates, they told me i have to pay again!? Even though i already paid the total price! I spent few hours trying to get my $$ back and got nowhere! Bunch of thieves!

Hi Ella,

Thank you for email and feedback. Your issue doesnt seem correct and must be a mistake as we dont charge more for Open Dated package if the full amount has been paid. Some of our packages to Mexico are $99 down to lock inthe price for 12 months and the rest is due once you book your dates. Please contact me directly so can look into your issue. [email protected]

I booked a vacation with them got it all paid for and was excited. I get a call the next day that I can't go to the resort that my reservation was made at. So they offer me to crappy motels with no outside pools in place of it. This place sucks

Scam

Bookvip.com is a scam. Once you booked with them, you would will not be able to get your money back if you have to cancel your trip even due to health issue. Thanks to Allianz travel insurance, I got my money back.

Bookvip.com is making false advertising. You cannot get those prices if you are travelling with your friends. The prices are available only one family. If they find out that you are travelling with your friends or other family members, they cancel your reservation even you make separate reservations. It is good only couples and groups. Be carefull, check all the terms and conditions which is hidden at the very bottom of their website.

Hello Oczan,

BookVIP is leadering provider of first time visitor promotions in the world. The reason the packages are up to 80% off the retail rate is because the resort is subsidizing the cost of the vacation in exchange for meeting the resorts requirments and attending the resort preivew. Group travel is not allowed by the resorts with the promotional rate. Believe me Group travel is the biggest issue we deal with as naturally everyone wants to save up to 80% and travel with friends. That being said, people get upset like your self when we explain it is not outlined. This is outlined on the Terms & Conditions on our site as well we go over the phone with each customer. We send over 100,000 people on vacation each year. We have over 3.8 Million followers on Facebook and most customer video reviews in the world. We have senf over 100,000 people on vacations this year and have more actual customer testimonial reviews than any other travel web site http://bookvip.com/sitereviews. You can contact me directly at [email protected] so can look into your issue.
