You are cheating on prices
February 11, 2019

You showed me a final price on a room without ANY info this is a net price and then, only during payment I could see you added 25% of a tax. This is cheatery. You should display total price a guest will pay so we can compare offers.

Polite and Helpful Customer Service
February 9, 2019

I was satisfied with the customer service and got a good rate. Unfortunately, I was not advised that it was an Advance Purchase, which I never do. The Company was efficient in processing my booking and cancellation.

STAY AWAY
February 8, 2019

In good faith, I went on line to "get a room" for a long weekend. I wanted to stay at the Hilton Garden Inn, so I googled that and little to my knowledge a pop up came up - getaroom.com- that was 1/4/19- I was booked for 2 rooms, only wanted 1 and have yet to get that credited back to my visa. The hotel manager has provided proof to me that the hotel credited this company, but yet I cannot get anyone to take care of this for me. THREE WORDS- DON'T USE THEM!

Not the best rates available
February 8, 2019

I thought I was calling Hamptin Inn, not a general reservation dept. George was also very slow during the transaction

Communication difficulty
February 8, 2019

The woman I spoke to was trying to be helpful and friendly enough but she had an accent and spoke so fast I could not understand her. I had to repeatedly ask her to slow down and start over. I do not have a hearing deficit or elderly Dementia. My problem was solved in the end but it was difficult.

Ready for vacation
January 31, 2019

It was very easy and quick to book my room. I was able to book my room from my cell phone while waiting in the car pickup line at school. I'm looking forward to seeing this hotel.

Only place I found a room
January 31, 2019

GetARoom found a room where other sites said they were sold out. And, there is the flexibility to cancel. Winning!

After writing the below review, getaroom made the proper corrections and expressed since apologies for mix up. Two thumbs up for them doing the right thing.

Booked a room at the Holiday Inn Express in Hiawasse, GA using the reservation number on their website. I did not know it went to Getaroom.com. Lady assured me the rate was the best possible rate and even the bereavement rate was no better. I was going for my brothers funeral. When I checked in the desk clerk gave me a better rate due to bereavement. As it turned out getaroom charged my credit card and added a $50.00 surcharge to the room rate which was not disclosed. I made a phone call to correct the amount and was told they will not make any adjustment. Getaroom is a misleading organization and the hotel should not redirect calls to them or either support the actions of the hotel staff. Bottom line is I am out $90.00 total between statement from hotel and what getaroom charged my card.

Never Again! Rip Off!
January 30, 2019

Beware of this company! Greatly misrepresented. I booked a 4 night stay using This pathetic company, OMG! 6 hrs after I booked, had to cancel. Called the customer care line... put on ignore for 30 min 3 separate times... funny... when I called I chose the make a reservation option... someone answers right away. So I ask the person the makes reservations why no one answers the cancellation number... she says she doesn't know why, they work across the hall from her and NONE were on the phone. Really, can't make this up! So I asked her to walk across to the hall and ask them to answer the damn phone. She did
Just that, Amazing. She transfers my call to customer care( misnomer), and after getting my confirmation number she says that they adhere to the hotel policy... and that there is no refund... I screamed BS, I had already called the Best Western and there policy specifically states that cancellations must be done prior to 24 hrs, which I was 36 hrs out.
The Get a Room representative continued to say that she could cancel but need my permission to be charged the 1200 hotel fee! WTF?
I asked her what planet she was from where this type of BS was acceptable. Then she says she has to call the Hotel to verify that that is the policy.
Unbelievable. After 45 min on phone we were "accidentally " disconnected... I call back, off coarse, and get a brand new idiot to start the whole process over with. I told that imbecile they were not going to get a penny of the 1200$, that I was going to report then to the BBB, then hung up.
2 min later I got a cancellation email from them.
I called hotel directly and saved 300$ over the 4 night stay. Lesson Learned.

Long story short. I tried to book hotel accommodation for two days. The site directed me to the GetARoom site where my hotel accommodation was booked. However, I was able to discuss the matter with GetARoom supervisor who was able to cancel the booking and process the refund in full. I sincerely appreciate their willingness to listen to my honest discussion with an action plan that satisfied both parties. I will not hesitate to utilize GetARoom again for better rates than the hotel could offer. Thank you!

GETAROOM ripoff
January 25, 2019

I had the unfortunate misfortune of contacting GetARoom.com! The rate looked alright, but when it said to pay a non-refundable fee, they tacked on an extra $50 or more dollars in addition to the hotel fee. Honestly, I had NO idea. There was no warning until after I hit paid! It was only for 2 nights. It is greatly misrepresented! BEWARE! They tack their ridiculous fee in ADDITION to the hotel fees and taxes! If I had gone DIRECTLY to the hotel, I would have immediately SAVED over $50.00 for the two nights! NEVER again!

Thankful for the help

I booked a room through GetARoom for the wrong date. When I needed to change the reservation to the correct date GetAroom was very helpful and resolved my problem. Booking.Com was not able to solve the same situation of a wrong date booked.

This site is a scam! Do not use it. We thought we were booking direct with Marriott and instead we book the Getaroom. There rates a might higher than most sights. The charge you and make you pay off the money upfront. When we need to cancel less than 48 hours later than would not refund any of our money and now we are at $1,000.
Most hotel booking services will always refund you money or allow you to cancel as long as it matches the hotel cancellation policy. Marriott allows you to cancel three days prior to your stay. When we book by trip was not until a month and half away. They took all of my money and refused to give me a refund! Huge SCAM! Do not book from this site! I travel a lot and this is my worst experience ever. Be careful when searching online and make sure you are booking with the right company.

I was happy to see that GetARoom responded to my complaints and refunded my money for my hotel reservation that i needed to cancel due to the snowstorm last weekend. They were responsive and took care of the problem quickly.

Awful Experience
January 16, 2019

Made a weekend hotel reservation through Getaroom and ended up being hit with a $96 dollar tax and fees bill on top of the room rates. Then, since I stupidly had not read the fine print, I learned that I could not cancel the reservation per their policy - they had completely suckered me in. Stay away from Getaroom!
