Extra charge
June 21, 2023

Reservation.com charges a $19.99 service fee. I googled the hotel I wanted and unfortunately this was the first result. I didn't pay close enough attention that it was taking me to Reservation.com site as opposed to the wynham.com site. My bad! However, no where did I see on their site that there was a service fee. The service fee was indicated in the email confirmation I received but was non refundable if I cancelled. This made the somewhat reasonable price for the motel room $20 higher than I had anticipated. I guarantee I will pay closer attention to where google search takes me as the first priority.

We also thought the website was for direct hotel booking...our bad for not reading all the way to the bottom. No problem we thought we will pay the booking fee. When we checked out of the hotel we asked for our bill. Reservations overcharged us $536 for the rooms. When we called to complain they simply said that was "their negotiated rate with the hotel". No refund...sorry your out of luck with this company. Avoid at all cost!
Read carefully on the website to make sure you don't get scammed as we did.

Do not use this site. They are a US company that masks over hotel chains and charges USD funds regardless of where you are booking to and from. The amount on the invoice is not what shown as a charge on your credit card and when asked to explain the difference they blame the rate exchange. I had a booking for about 30 min until I realized all the funds we in USD and when I cancelled they blamed exchange rate service fees for the decencies. They also charged their service fee in USD when my cancellation confirmation made mention of this amount in CAD. This is very disappointing. Not really sure why any one would pay for this service.

Big Rip Off.
June 19, 2023

Don't use this service, call the Hotel direct. They make it seem like the hotel is almost full so you hurry up and give them your credit card with no refund. In my case the hotel was maybe 1/2 full and i spent about $100.00 to much, so call the hotel direct and check other hotels around because it will seem like the other hotels are full which where not. Lot of these services are out of the US, support our country not there's.

I'm a senior living in Ontario Canada. Brother was gravely I'll in Calgary, AB so rushed to book room at Best Western. Looked it up and this site came up to book reservations. Easy process, got it done-, didn't read all the fine print (my mistake). When email came with confirmation, I sat down to read. First thing I noticed that it was in US funds. 2nd thing is they don't give you time to cancel as they say No refunds at all. Called the hotel direct and this group with the US exchange charged me $200 more than if I had done direct with hotel. Stay away from them! Hard lesson learned :(

1 star is too much. Beware of company. Reservation site is deceiving and makes you think you are on the hotels' reservation system. Customer service is totally unhelpful. Don't ever expect to get your money back if you are unsatisfied.

The reservations.com website lists the non-refundable options first as a trap, it's not entirely clear that it's non-refundable but they will NEVER do anything to help you out if you accidentally book a non-refundable stay. DO NOT use the company, it's predatory in my opinion.

I purchased a hotel reservation from Reservations.com in error thinking it was the hotel's website. While I accept my poor judgment in this case, I write this review in hopes others will steer clear of this company. I came upon their site in The website opened when I clicked on what I thought was the hotel's website. Even better (sarcasm here), they also offered a non-refundable reservation. Like a fly on a sticky trap, I was stuck with an exorbitant fee. While the advertised rate was $166.00. After the added taxes and fees, the actual rate was an exorbitant $234.69. Had it not been a long day after which I made this reservation, I hope I would have caught this scam. I write this review in hopes others do not get caught in their trap. Stay clear of Reservations.com! You will pay more than what the hotel was charging!

No refundable Service Charge
June 11, 2023

I'm a consumer attorney. Someone, anyone, needs to bring a lawsuit against these people. I was told I had a 100% refundable set of rooms. Then, the email confirmation came in showing I had two fees which would not be refundable. Just so everyone knows, that's 100% against the law. I needed to cancel and I complained, and they said they would return one fee; I threatened them and they said they would take off both. So frustrating all the same.

Do not book thru them. They charge a 15.99 service fee. They do not issue refunds at all. Call the hotel directly to reserve.

I erred when making a hotel reservation for a family gathering, not realizing another family member already booked rooms. Tried to cancel within 24 hours, but the website and the customer service line said if travel plans were more than 7 days away, to wait until that time frame to contact them. I understand rules so I put a reminder in my calendar and waited. Currently 5 weeks out, but decided to try to cancel. Was told by the rep that my reservation was nonrefundable. Asked for a supervisor. Same answer, made with a condescending tone. Did I mention we're 5 weeks away from the date? Apparently, that's too close to do anything about the cost I will have to eat. I'm a retiree on a fixed income, and these charges represent 20% of my monthly income - the event is a family wedding, tho, so the original investment seemed worth it. What isn't worth it is not being allowed to change plans over a month away from the date. Agents were difficult to understand at times, but the condescension was loud and clear - "tough beans old lady, we're $500 richer" Horrible experience, horrible service, and if I could give less than 1 star, I would. Shame on you all

Total scam
June 1, 2023

Reservations.com is a total scam. I accidently booked 2 rooms for 2 nights, and when I recieved the email confirmation, it was then I saw that the fee was non refundable. I immediately called them to cancel the reservation which was only 5 minutes old, and they refused to issue a refund, but would send my claim to billing. Today I recieved another email that said after review they would not refund the money. I have reported this to the BBB.

I had a terrible experience with reservations.com and I want to warn others not to use their service. They charged me in different currency and refused to issue a refund or to adjust the cost in correct currency. The customer service was very unhelpful including management. I wasted a lot of time and money because of their incompetence and dishonesty. Reservations.com is a scam and I advise everyone to avoid them at all costs.
