I am still waiting news from my reservation at Fairmont Hotel in Monaco (Montecarlo). You took money from my credit card but you did not confirm the reservation. You are not serious. You are immediately requested to answer to this issue and, however I will denunce to the legal authority this fraud!
I booked my hotel through Trivago. Where I apparently get forwarded to Hoteling.com. As soon as I had booked my hotel, I received my order confirmation from Hoteling.com. I checked my order right away, and it seemed to be correct. A few days later, I checked my order again, just to see if all the details was correct, but something went wrong when I tried to get the website Hoteling.com. Since I didn´t find any phone number to Hoteling, I sent a message on their website. The day after I got reply from Hoteling.com with guidance about what I should do. That night I read all the bad experiences people had with Hoteling.com and I got very anxious! When everything seemed to be ok, I was satisfied even though the company had a bad reputation! When I finally arrived my hotel in Thailand ( a bit nervous) I was surprised and pleased that everything was okay! So Hoteling.com; thank you a lot for a lovely holiday - from a satisfied customer!:-) Hope all of you out there got the same experience as I did!

This is my next review after my frustration that my card has been charged and yet overbooked after i called directly to the hotel to confirm. So, the only option I have was refund. But right now, another incident arise, I was ensured and told even black and white state in the cancellation documentation that refund within 7 working days, but right now, I am waiting for 13 working days, yet I called bank, nothing has been progress. I called to hoteling.com call center, the agent check in the systems and said case has been sent to finance department at 28th April, but after that no status. And she cannot do anything or ensure anything but only send email to the finance department and said will revert 3-5 working days, I told her is impossible to let me that long and she said will revert back few hours later once they back to work at 10am. So, right now, I am waiting and see if this is going to be happen as promise and I am yet convict after I has been gone through all these. I want this to be immediately sort out!

Stay clear from Hoteling! Unacceptable customer service and additional admin charges of $30 for requesting booking corrections for errors made by them to begin with.
Shame on trivago for partnering such an unprofessional company that take customers for granted.
Stay away and beware!

I was happy with the process, but then discovered that my funds were sent to Mallorca, Spain for processing, and there was a transaction fee for a foreign transaction.
I don't like to secure a hotel room in the same state where I live and have to pay a foreign transaction fee. I'll never use Hoteling again.
Hi Clyde,
That's great to hear that the booking process went smoothly for you. Please let me explain that we have no influence over the international transaction fees as they depend directly on your bank and I'm really sorry that you found this disappointing. I hope regardless of this you'll have an enjoyable stay!
Kind regards,

Words cannot describe how completely disgusted I am with hoteling. A genuine mistake was made with the dates when booking (apparently in still not convinced abt this). No confirmation was sent so I didn't pick this up until I arrived at the hotel. I had paid in full and the hotel were more than happy to accommodate me all I had 2 do was contact hoteling to let them know it seems a mistake had been made. HOTELING only have email and it took them 24 hours to get back 2 me. When they didnt they refused to help me, would not issue a credit and would not let me amend dates (I was 9 days out from booking had 2 b 10 for amendments to be made). How convenient. Full like been robbed, completely ruined my holiday. Will be escalting to all booking comparison sites and dept of fair trading and media. What a disgrace. Sonupset and saddened by the is. I couldnt afford to pay twice for accommodation.
Hi Suzie,
Thank you very much for taking your time to contact us here. I'm really sorry to hear that you feel this way. We always try our hardest to assist in case if any issue.

It has been over week and I still have not received my hotel confirmation. I have emailed customer service a number of time with no reply. Disgusting company to deal with. DO NOT BOOK THROUGH THEM
I do not believe your company is sorry as you would have responded to one of my many emails if you cared. The only response I get is on this public forum. Shame on your hoteling.com and Trivago. - Mantra even advised me to avoid using this site as they have had many issues before
Hi Sorcha,
I'm sorry for the difficulties. If you wish to speak with our Customer Care team, please do not hesitate to contact us on 001 888 9997710 or email us on [email protected] and one of my colleagues will be more than happy to assist you. Looking forward to hearing from you.

I made a payment and it charged me and canceled me out... called my bank and they did charge me. So I called them and they said i would get refunded because they overbooked! To make things worse I invited my friends to stay at that hotel and now their staying there alone in another country! We have to find another hotel now. NOT cool! Im a lil pissed off...
I wont even get my refund until 3 days! And we'll have to see if that goes through!
Hello Joanna,
Hello Joanna,
I'm so sorry to hear about all the difficulties you have faced here. Please accept my sincerest apologies for this situation, however please let me explain that hotels sometimes overbook themselves to cover any cancellation This something we discourage but have no control over.
In case of the refund, it can take 3-5 working days to appear on your account - the refund times are dedicated by the card issuers, and therefore are out of our control.
Once again I'm very sorry for the inconvenience caused.

Chasing a refund for canceled booking that was canceled straight away after incorrect dates entered. Im here is Australia and have no way of contacting except email and have had no response
Hi Demi,
I'm truly sorry for the difficulties with getting in touch with us. Please let me explain that in regards to our cancellation policy customers are able to cancel the reservation without charges only within 10 days prior to the arrival date. Unfortunately as it was less than 10 days, we are unable to proceed a refund for you on this occasion, I'm afraid. I'm sorry if you found this inconvenient and that I couldn't be more helpful.
Best regards,
Kasia

Tried to book for two people only got one adult and cant change my booking at all. The site will not allow me to cancel without forfeiting my full fee? This is straight after making the booking and realising the mistake. I have sent emails to customer care and have not received a reply?

I'm really sorry that this has happened to you. I understand your frustration and disappointment and I would like to take a deeper look into your case. Please contact us on [email protected] and we will try our hardest to help.

What can I say? We booked our hotel very quickly and easily with no hassle. The way it should be. Everything was confirmed within minutes of booking by email. The deal was good (we compared the same hotel at other sites and direct booking)
Hi there,
Thanks a lot for your fantastic words about our booking process and deals. I'm happy your overall experience went to plan and I wish you a nice stay.

All in all this is the second time that I'm making the reservations through you. As for this trip I didn't "use" it yet and I want to believe that it is going to be good as well. When I'm checking for an hotel in Bangkok Asok area it is a bit limited and there are not good options for "longer terms" ( more than 7 nights).
Hi Moshe,
That's a pleasure to hear that you're pleased with your booking experiences with us. We always aim to improve our service and fulfil our all our customers' needs. I hope to assist you many more times!

I had an initial issue with the price, and hoteling picked this up from my previous review. They referred it off to the accounts team and it was sorted immediately, so thank you that. Overall a great experience and I will certainly be reccomending to friends and family.
Hi Karen,
You're very welcome and thank you for your lovely feedback. I'm sorry for the issue you've initially faced, however that's great we were able to efficiently assist you on this occasion.

The Booking.com was easy but the Hotel was HORRIBLE! Bed was uncomfortable, had screaming kids from 2:30 am to 4:00 am, same happened next day. No support from front desk as the clerk was asleep during the night!
Hi Gilbert,
I'm sorry that this has happened to you. Unfortunately, it's beyond our control and the best option is to contact front desk directly. However, in case of any issues on holiday on your docs you can find number to our dedicated department- they are always happy to help.
Once again, I'm sorry for this situation.

I would beware of ever using Hoteling.com. Full disclosure that I am the Head of a Customer Support organization for a leading multinational consumer electronics company and know a little bit about the challenges of providing good customer service.
We recently booked a 3 day hotel via Hoteling.com. Due to a family health issue we decided to delay our vacation by 2 weeks. Reviewing the email receipt and documentation provided by Hoteling.com, there was not a single mention of the cancellation policy. I then went to the Hoteling.com website, entered my Booking Reference number and searched for information on the cancellation policy. There was nothing to be found.
I then decided to contact Hoteling.com via their online chat app. The app sat there for nearly 30 minutes saying waiting for a service representative to respond. No response and the app timed out. I tried several other times with the same result. It was late so I waited until the next day to phone.
I phoned the support desk at Hoteling.com to receive help from a woman whom informed me that the cancellation policy was 7 days. I asked her to cancel the reservation as it was still 7 days out. The representative said that it was only 6 days out based on "their" time (Spain). I explained that the reservation was made in the USA for a US based hotel from the US Hoteling.com site and it was still 7 days until we would arrive at the property. I also noted that the Hoteling.com "Manage my Booking" page was saying it was only 4 days out, which was obviously in error. The rep could only continue to ignore these facts and continue to recite the terms and conditions. I therefore asked to be transferred to the supervisor for further investigation.
Since Hoteling.com is based in Europe, I was informed that supervisors do not work during US hours. I find this ironic as Hoteling.com seems to target the US market. I was informed to call back at 1 am and that a supervisor "may" be available, but not for certain.
My wife and I called back several times after this to only be told that the supervisor was not in, busy, unavailable or in training. Not once did the Tier 2 supervisor take our call.
In the end, our only recourse was to dispute the charge with a reputable company, American Express. I am unsure how this story will end but advise you by all accounts to not use Hoteling.com. You might save yourself $20/night, but it will not be worth it.
Hello Marvin,
Firstly, thank you for bringing all the issues to my attention. I'm really sorry for the difficulties with getting in touch with us. Please feel free to contact us on [email protected] and our Team will be more than happy to investigate this issue further for you and try our hardest to find the best solution for this situation. Once again, I'm truly sorry for the inconvenience you have faced.

We recently used Hoteling.com to book a hotel stay for our Honeymoon. A flight to our destination was delayed and we missed our first night at the hotel. When we found out that the flight delay was going to cause us to miss our first night, we called the hotel and were told by their management that they would authorize a refund for the missed night. The hotel told us to call Hoteling and Hoteling would initiate the refund process.
After our honeymoon, we followed the hotel's instructions, contacted Hoteling, but Hoteling refuses to refund us for the first night we canceled. Hoteling is behaving unethically and refuses to escalate this issues further. Now we're forced to initiate a dispute with our bank.
I would recommend never dealing with this company if you have a choice. They clearly have no concern for their patrons and only serve the almighty dollar.
Hello Chris,
I'm very sorry to hear about your feelings. Please let me explain that even if the hotel decides to refund the customer, it need to be also accepted with the supplier. The booking was made through the 3rd party supplier - they've contacted the hotel in regards to the refund, and advised us that they are not getting any refund from the hotel for the unused night, so they cannot refund us. In this situation our hands are tied, as the supplier will not receive any amount of money from the hotel, we will not receive anything from the supplier, so we are unable to refund you. I can understand your frustration, however there is nothing more we can do in this situation I'm afraid. Once again I'm very sorry for the inconvenience.
Best Regards,

Your site is not working and I cannot get confirmation for my booking. The hotel is in the dark about your booking. Are you real or bogus?
Hello Alex,
I apologise for that. It may occasionally happen that we need to await up to 72 hours for the booking confirmation from our supplier which is within our standard practice. To clear things up, please contact us on [email protected] with the email address used to make the reservation and I'll do my best to advise.
Kind regards,

Answer: No
Answer: Hi I'm still waiting for my refund and they haven't come back to me with my email of a couple of days ago. My advice is still don't use this company.
Answer: Yes we received a full refund but only after many emails and posting on as many sites as i could like this and getting onto Trivago as we went through their site. Waited 30 odd days for a booking which was never going to come. Kept in touch with hotel and the booking never came through. It is all a big Scam
