Hotel had no record of reservation and were oversold! I was still charged. Worse customer service I have ever received!
Make certain You do not use this company. The problem will be though, that by the time You find out about this Company's SLEAZY booking practice, You will have already used there service. That is when You realize that You, just got DINGED for a $14.99 "SERVICE" charge, for a SO CALLED discounted rate. And of course, You have already been charged for Your booking, at the same rate that You could have booked directly with the Motel and only would have been charged, when you arrived at the Motel. What a POOR way to operate a business
You ripped me off. Why don't you post the refundable/non-refundable payment conditions right up front like other booking services? You hide them in a drop down box along with your undisclosed $14.99 fee.
I am going to dispute my credit card charges for a room I cancelled on THE SAME DAY with my credit card company.
Do not use this company they will rip you of was charged$ 300.00 for a room I did not use, sent me to Vagabond Inn San jose airport which was down town with people sleeping in there cars and homeless people sleep outside the property.
I have used other third party booking companies and always had good experiences. The first time I used reservations.com is also my last. An honest error on my part resulted in the worst customer DISSERVICE I have ever experienced from any company, ever. They are dishonest and disreputable. DO NOT USE.
They will charge you a booking charge, and it is not readily apparent that they are going to do so. So your economy room will cost 14.99 more. Nothing you can do about it.
Reservations.com never sent me an email confirming my reservation made via telephone. When I did not receive the confirmation email, I spoke with customer service reps on 3 separate occasions, to no avail. Very bad customer service. I wish I had read the many bad reviews on this site before my transaction. I hope others don't make the same mistake that I did.
I thought I was booking directly at the hotel which I have done in the past. Was waiting for breakdown of charges when I realized my card had already been charged and with a non-refundable processing charge! I immediately called and was told that, even if I immediately wanted to cancel, I would still have to pay fee. No other internet site charges a fee. Now, I'm stuck not even knowing if I have a reservation. These people are so misleading! Stay far, far, away from them.
I booked my hotel in a Canadian city from a Canadian city and got charged in US dollars -certainly wasn't expecting that. We were going to a funeral and had limited time for planning, so didn't notice until I checked my Mastercard. I also got charged a booking fee which I hadn't noticed as well. The message here - be wary.
This site is VEERRRYYY deceptive. I thought I was booking directly with the hotel and was charged $14.99 as a booking fee. When I called customer service in India or Bangladesh to cancel I was informed that the booking fee is NOT REFUNDABLE nor would they waive the fee. The agent himself could not find the explanation for the charge but he insisted it WAS RIGHT THERE on the booking site. After he put me on hold TWO times to research the matter he then guided me to a tiny teeny little bell icon hidden to the far left of the site which was only navigable by scrolling further to the left. Total ripoff.
I made reservations on line without using Reservations.com, but somehow they billed me for services that they did not provide. How does this happen? Trying to get an direct answer from them is impossible. It appears that they hide their fee in the total amount charged for the reservation. I think they're scamming people by adding their fee to reservations that they have nothing to do with. Avoid Reservations.com.
Went on line to make a reservation several hotels came up in the area I was looking so I clicked on one with reasonable rates. Booked and the noticed instead of $95 per night it was $195 per night plus 89.48 tax for a total charge of 479.84! Exactly 20 min after making the reservation I call them and cancelled it! At first they couldn't find my reservation with the confirmation number or my phone number or e mail they insisted I had to give them my credit card number again! Which I refused to do because a cell phone is not a secure line. They finally found my reservation and cancelled it. I still had a weird feeling about it... Sure enough 9 hours after I cancelled the reservation they charged my debit card! I called my bank they cancelled my debit card and tell me I have to wait for this company to reverse the charge! I called reservations.com and got a total runaround today on the phone! Asked for the number of someone at Corp that I could talk to and the fu($&@ing number they gave me is for State Farm insurance!
I loved the whole process of reservation, i am new to this process of booking online. Very ease and felt comfortable.
Just made a reservation on what I thought was the hotel site. I got suspicious when there was no "review your reservation" page but instead it went straight to "we charged you $x. Xx". There was no disclosure whatsoever that they were going to charge me $40 in taxes and fees when $10 or so would have been normal.
Deceptive crooks!
This website is completely fantastic, last month i booked a hotel via this website and i was extremely pleased. Very user friendly website with easy payment gateway. It allows to compare the hotels available in that place and pick the best. The hotel that we booked via this site was extra-ordinary, in short it was a amazing trip for me, so, definitely i am going to use it for the next time. Recommendable
After searching many times, I have come to realize that if I want the best results, just use reservation.com. I always get the best deals and good service! I would recommend them to anyone!
My room was very, very good clean the services was the best. So needless to say I will use them again. Help was available at every step, if required; but I would imagine few would find need for that service. Thank You!
Anytime I plan a trip I always use reservation.com. Last Time a hotel they picked for me was a great one. I'm planning a holiday to later this month and has really helped find the best prices for the best places to stay. Does help when comparing your choice. Gives the best deals and the volume is huge as well.
Update.
We got our full refund. Costumer service emailed after this post. Still not sure why I never got any others on any emails.
First post
I made reservations using this site for the Tropicana. They sai they would email me the info but never did. They charged me right away. I called back and asked for the reservation to be resent. We tried different emails and nothing. Finally we got fed up and cancelled. It's going to take to get us our refund. They are trying to take out booking fees without telling us. Never use.
I booked a hotel room for my family and myself in a different country through reservations.com. Afterwards, I became aware that the hotel offered a Bed and Breakfast package while the website didn't. When I called customer service to ask if they can even add it on despite the fact I would have paid more for the service, they couldn't help me at all, just kept repeating the same thing over and over. Then I found the same room in the same hotel for the same dates for a lower rate on bookings.com and reservations.com stated that they couldn't price match the rate, so there went their "lowest price guaranteed," that they promote. Just completely an absurd experience, would not book with them ever again.
Answer: Call your credit card company and report it as an unauthorized charge. You may have to cancel your card and get a new card and card number, but it's worth it.
Answer: Impossible to get money back. They're just scumbags!
Answer: Yes, this company charges a fee, which it will not refund even if you cancel your reservation within minutes!
Answer: Hello, Thank you for question. Please contact us at [email protected] so we can better assist you with this matter. Thank you for your consideration and we look forward to hearing back from you. Sincerely Reservations.com Support Team
Answer: It can be, if its refundable reservation. Every reservations has a different cancelation policy. Mostly last minute reservations are not cancelable.
Answer: My experience is the same. reservations.com obviously nails a lot of unsuspecting Canadians this way. They don't make any attempt to help you out when they are confronted by this way of hosing us. Its a sleazy organization.
Answer: Hello Brodie, We have sent you an email this morning regarding your concerns. Please email us directly so we may assist you. Sincerely, Customer Support Reservations.com
Answer: Yes, you were billed. Call your credit card company and report it as an unauthorized charge. Your company should remove it, send you a new card and assign you a new card number.
