Expedia's reputation is significantly marred by widespread customer dissatisfaction, primarily stemming from poor customer service and issues with booking accuracy. Many customers report difficulties in reaching live support, leading to frustrations over incorrect reservations, unexpected charges, and inadequate responses to cancellations. While some users appreciate the variety of options available through the platform, the overall sentiment reflects a lack of trust due to perceived unethical practices and inadequate support during critical situations. This feedback suggests a pressing need for Expedia to enhance its customer service responsiveness and transparency to rebuild consumer confidence.

THE AMERICAS BEST VALUE INN IN EVANS, COLORADO IS AN OLD MOTEL, BUT IT
FAR EXCEEDS ANY OF THE OTHER MOTELS IN THE AREA. THE ROOMS ARE GOOD
SIZED, WELL MAINTAINED, AND KEPT CLEAN ON A DAILY BASIS. THE HOTEL STAFF
ARE FRIENDLY AND COURTIOUS AT ALL TIMES. VERY GOOD STAY AND EXCELLENT
PRICES.
Problems completing an order, don't bother calling the 800 number, they can't help you either. Move on, go to another site!
Do not ever stay at this hotel they got bed bugs and
Water bugs in the bathroom they're hallways stink
Terrible manager I've seen everything that goes on in this dump since I've been there I hope they tear it town,.
Now I know why they changed it from the ramada to the (gateway inn) the reviews were probably giving them no business at all they need to be reported to the health department they should not keep running that hotel

I recommend it. It is always helpful and I couldn't imagine traveling without it. Fly tickets, hotel, cars, whatever you need!
I like this site, gives me an easy way to find my flights and hotels. Generally, what's listed is fair. Most of what's listed is generally correct. Just be careful about folks in hotel travel desks that push the same packages at much higher prices than what you booked online.
Why doesn't Expedia EVER answer emails? Or be in the least bit responsible? I can't find a single thing that Expedia does to help the traveler. I think I may need to go to the social sites and tell all of America about the scum of the earth at Expedia.
I went to las Vegas about 1 week ago and it was the perfect trip - I booked with them and was very happy with the hotel. We stayed at mandelay Bay which was great. I had tickets to the for cooperfield and he put on a show.
I just purchased a vacation package and everything has gone great! Customer service was great!
Classic Bait and Switch. I thought this was illegal. How does Expedia get away with it?
My family and I are spending a week in Myrtle Beach this August. Wouldnt you know, it seems to be the most popular week of the summer. Ive been tracking airline fares for months to save the long 14 hour drive, but the fares are just cost prohibitive for a family of 4. I received an email from Expedia today saying they are offering 40% off for members. I clicked and found the best airfares and flights Ive seen and immediately went to book, along with an over-priced car rental. Filled in the credit card information and then Expedia notified me Oops. Our prices change quickly. Your price has been adjusted... And yes, the total was then $800+ more than the plans I had originally found and had clicked the Book button for. Fortunately I was paying attention and quickly cancelled the transaction.
OK I thought maybe it took me too long to research all the details and the price increased. So I started the transaction again, found the same flights at the same fair rates, along with the over-priced car rental and BING Oops. Our prices change quickly... Again $800+ was added to the total. Not my delay at all, just deceptive pricing and advertising.
Shocked that a large commercial travel site so flagrantly practices this bait and switch. GOODBYE Expedia. There are so many honest options. Dont patronize this business!
Your products and services are nothing but a computerized scam. I've had nothing but bad experiences on-line with you and you are not the priced well and your offering to customers is subpar.
I liked this site. Perhaps if I'm going somewhere, I will use them
Beware of EXPEDIA! I am not a big complainer nor do I like to complain. But I feel people need to know this so it never happens again. We booked an all inclusive trip to Excellence Playa Mujeres through Expedia twice. Once for my friend and then for myself. We went into their site and clicked 2 guests two different times and a price came up which we felt was a good price so we proceeded to book for 5 nights. We decide to add a day to our trip because of the good price. When arriving to Playa Mujeres we were told that we booked for only 1 person per room and needed to pay for 1 extra person. I have never booked a room for only 1 person, so of course we were shocked and caught off guard. They proceeded to tell us that Expedia sent over a confirmation for only 1 person per room and we needed to pay an extra $1150 each in order to stay. This is after our initial payment in full we had made a few month before. We were also told by the front desk that this happens quite often especially to Koreans which was very odd. But nevertheless, we had to pay in order to stay and after flying 5 hours and probably lossing the money we already had paid for initially. We felt we had no other options but to pay up at this time. Even after all this, we were never told of an Expedia representative working in there lobby. At this point it was obvious to me they were working together and probably deceived many others. We then tried booking the same trip again just to see what might happen and the same special price came up we originally thought we were receiving for the 2 guests. We also decided to try just the 1 person booking and of course as expected a much cheaper rate came up. I believe Expedia made the mistake of sending the wrong confirmation with only 1 guest per room and did not rectify the problem. It might have cost me an extra $1150 more and it is definitely an expensive lesson to learn. But I will NEVER USE THE EXPEDIA SITE for anything again. I will also inform all my family and friends never to use the EXPEDIA SITE again, as well.
After being a gold member with Expedia, booked a hotel with Expedia points from thier web application
To figure out I was charged the whole hotel amount from the hotel
Customer service says it was a website glitch that they can't do anything about, after they kept me on the phone for over an hour
Extremely incompetent staff ever
It was easy to check, compare and book travel flights via Expedia. Their system is easy to read, and the follow-up info via email was prompt. Closer to the travel dates, I had to check on a couple of things and they were easy to contact and helpful with answers.
I've used Expedia many times and most of my experiences have been good. My only complaint is that they outsource their customer service jobs to the Philippines. Most of them speak fairly good English, but not all of them and this can lead to problems. I'm not a fan of American companies that outsource jobs. There are plenty of Americans who need jobs and Expedia is an American company. Most of my trips booked through them have worked out OK. But when I went to Jamaica I wasn't even booked at the hotel even though I had the paperwork saying I was booked. I eventually got a room, but it wasn't very good compared to what I paid for. By the way, Expedia owns Travelocity and several other online travel agencies. Go to the Expedia page on Wikipedia and you'll see them all listed. I gave them 4 stars only because there isn't a 3 and a half stars option.
You can count on them for being more expensive than other similar sites. They used to be the ones used for Citibank travel points but they cost too much so I stopped using my citi card.
I booked and paid for a room at the Paris Airport and when I got there, there was no booking. So, I had to pay for it again. Once to Ibis, which is great, and once to Expedia, for nothing and with which I will NEVER use again. I think that they are scam artists.
Answer: You were lucky to get through to anyone at all at Expedia. I've spent hours and hours and hours over three days trying to get through to anyone on their customer service phone line, their chat line and their e-mail, all to no avail. They really owe their customers much better customer service.
Answer: Demand to speak to a Supervisor though you better have time because it will take anywhere between 30 minutes to 2 hours. Once the Supervisor does nothing or little to nothing to resolve your concern, ask to speak to a manager. Get ready to really wait. DO NOT ACCEPT THE "WE'LL HAVE A MANAGER CALL YOU WITHIN 24 to 48 HOURS" When you figure out you don't matter, sit down and right a review!
