Cancellation Policy Terrible
May 10, 2025

You don't even get 24 for a free cancellation policy. I didn't catch this at first as generally most places have a decent return policy. Not this place. Greedy company trying to keep a few bucks. Won't book through them again for this reason.

Good afternoon, Aaron.

Thank you for sharing your experience, and we're truly sorry to hear about your disappointment regarding the cancellation policy. We understand how frustrating it can be when expectations aren't met—especially when you're used to more flexible policies elsewhere.

At TravelUp, we aim to be as transparent as possible throughout the booking process. Unfortunately, in this case, the airlines we work with do not offer a 24-hour free cancellation window to us, which limits our ability to pass on such flexibility to our customers. This is why, as clearly stated in the terms and conditions you agreed to at the time of booking, cancellations are subject to the airline's rules and may not be refundable or changeable.

We regret any inconvenience this has caused and appreciate your feedback, as it helps us continue improving our service and communication. Should you need any further assistance, we’re always here to help.

Kind regards,
TravelUp

I didn't complete purchase
May 5, 2025

When I got to your sure your price was consistently higher than quotes in the trivago site I felt I could not trust your system when I've never experienced this type of pricing problem with trivia in the past. If I see that it is a price quoted by Travel up I do not go further and report to looking for something else. You are not trusted.

Good afternoon, Bruce,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

We’re very sorry to hear about your negative experience and truly regret that we lost the opportunity to serve you.

We completely understand how frustrating it can be to see a price change between platforms, especially when you're expecting consistency. Please allow us to clarify that in the travel industry, prices are dynamic in nature. This means they can fluctuate frequently based on factors such as availability, demand, currency exchange rates, and updates from airline or hotel providers. Unfortunately, this is something that is outside of our control, and while we do our best to display the most accurate and up-to-date pricing, occasional discrepancies can occur.

At TravelUp, we strive to be as transparent and competitive as possible, and it is never our intention to cause confusion or mistrust. We're genuinely sorry to hear that your experience led you to feel otherwise.

We value your feedback and hope you'll consider giving us another opportunity in the future. If you have any further concerns, we’d be happy to look into them for you directly.

Kind regards,
TravelUp

I've learned not dealing directly with the hotels is a bad idea. I got suckered in again. No direct customer service phone number

Good afternoon, Joseph.

Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we’re truly sorry to hear about your disappointing experience.

We completely understand how frustrating it can be to feel misled, especially when you're under the impression that you're making a deposit rather than a full payment. We always aim to make the booking process as clear and transparent as possible, and we regret that this was not your experience on this occasion.

It is also highly unusual that you were unable to find a contact number, as we always include the property’s direct contact details in the booking confirmation email sent to our customers. We’ve reviewed your booking and can confirm that the hotel's phone number was provided. We kindly encourage all our customers to carefully review the full booking confirmation upon receipt, as it contains all essential information, including contact details and payment terms.

We appreciate your feedback and will continue working to improve clarity and accessibility for all our users. If you still need assistance or have unresolved concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us—we're here to help.

Kind regards,

Scammers avoid
May 1, 2025

I bought 2 return tickets and when i went to check in to return back to the uk, i was told that the company had refunded the tickets and i was not able to travel as a result. When i contacted the company i was met with very rude people who claimed they did not refund it but i had to pay a fee for the tickets which was the price of 2 new ticket. I had been emailing them and trying to get in contact with them for the past month and abit but i had no response from them. Please be very wary when booking with them as theyre abit dodgey (booked through skyscanner)

Literally the absolute worst
April 26, 2025

Every single aspect of booking was awful, from miscommunication, double bookings with payments, all inclusive not being honored and then having to dispute charges because they couldn't get it together. Book directly through the hotel and not with them. You will have to use legal documentation protocol to protect yourself from every false promise. Even the Amstar pickup was a mess and I paid an additional $120 to take a taxi from airport. The worst! I'm warning others because NEVER again. I'm an avid traveler and can speak Spanish!
