Expedia Reviews Summary

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.

GOOD!
August 6, 2015

I checked alot of other travel booking sites and even the airline itself, usually the airline website will have the best rates, but for some reason expedia had a great deal, the airline was subpar though, not expedia's fault i know.

Okay
August 4, 2015

You can find good prices but it is always a pain if you want to make any changes and the website is not clear of how to do it.

On July 5 booked a trip with my wife through EXPEDIA.COM., itinerary # **************. On its website we were made to believe that if we buy travel protection package plan through them, we will have the right to cancel our trip for any reasons without any penalty or fees at any time prior to 48 hours before scheduled of the trip.
When I called Expedia.com to cancel our trip for at least 14 days before our trip was supposed to start, they told me that I will be refunded only for the cheapest part of the trip (ground transportation and hotel) but nothing for the flights tickets as the most expensive part of the trip.?
Who buys travel insurance for the cheapest part of the trip AND NOT for the most expensive part of it - flight tickets?
Called EXPEDIA.COM-at least five time- and complaining about it but nothing. Even on their website I can't find the place to write a review for them.
Why we CAN'T write a review on Expedia website, although we tried hard?

Feel mislead, lied and cheated by them. Shame on EXPEDIA.COM...

Was Good once
July 29, 2015

It was good in the beginning, prices were cheap. However the prices are no longer cheap and I dont often make purchases there any more. I wish they would go back to having the best prices, I love their site.

Shady policy
July 28, 2015

Their price match was a lie. We were offered a lower price from hotwire for a room we booked, so we tried out their offer and met all the criteria. They sent an automated response saying we didn't send the exact room when we had. They would not reply again. We don't use dishonest companies, so we use booking.com now.

We for the first time used Expedia for our vacation to VA. I was very hesitant with the deal I found and was worried if we will have any bad experience with flights. None so ever. Everything went smooth. I will be checking deals on Expedia whenever looking for air fare

It's the only company I will ever use. I buy the airline ticket and hotel combo, even when I go to Dubai or Canada. No complaints from me
