The company demonstrates a mixed reputation, with notable strengths in the ease of the booking process and competitive pricing, which many customers found straightforward and efficient. However, significant concerns arise around customer service, particularly regarding unresponsive support, issues with reservation confirmations, and difficulties in modifying bookings.

One of the best prices offered compared to other sites and booked with ease. I recommend it and will use again.
Got the best rate and confirmed stay at the hotel, when booked two days ago. Called the hotel same day and they confirmed the booking.

I just booked on your website and I was trying to book re. Cancun and it sent me to a different hotel, which I didn't realize and it booked it for me and it's not the right hotel
Good evening, Joanne.
Thank you for your feedback, and we're truly sorry to hear about your recent experience.
We completely understand how frustrating it must be to end up with a reservation at a hotel you didn’t intend to book—especially when planning a special trip like one to Cancun.
While we do our very best to make the booking process clear and straightforward, we’d like to kindly clarify that, before any reservation is finalised, our platform provides a full booking summary for review. This includes key details such as the hotel name, location, and pricing. We’re only able to proceed once we receive the customer’s confirmation and consent to finalize the booking.
In this case, we can see that your consent was provided and the reservation was processed accordingly, so there doesn’t appear to be an error on our end. That said, we absolutely understand how these situations can happen—especially when multiple browser tabs are open, which can sometimes cause confusion during the booking process.
Please don’t worry—we’re here to help. We encourage you to reach out to us directly, and we’ll be more than happy to check what options might be available to amend or change your reservation if possible.
Thank you again for bringing this to our attention, and we hope to find a suitable resolution for you.
Best regards,
TravelUp.

We truly appreciate your support and look forward to helping you with your future travel plans!

Well I made a mistake and I booked one bed instead of two and within 30 seconds I realized it and I'm still waiting to see if I can switch it and how much money it's going to cost. So until then I can't give you a good review. It was only a matter of minutes and I wanted to change it to to Queens instead of one king. So I'm willing to pay a little extra because they did have the same deal $3 more on the twins beds which I was willing to pay. But again I'm waiting to hear from you all see if I can get that done.
Good evening, Francis.

I got into difficulty when I was in dubai and had to return home early. I requested a change in my flight date. TravelUp charged me £318 to change my flight which was almost as much as I paid for the flight in the first place. When they sent me the invoice it stated £25.44 for flights and £292.56 for tax. If it only cost £25 for the change of flight how on earth is the tax £292? I feel like TravelUp have scammed me out of alot of money rather than help me in a time of need. I would not use TravelUp again and would not recommend anyone else does either.
Good evening, Bryan.

We feel we were gouged by this service. We were overcharged by a lot. From the hotel to the ship a taxi would cost $21. You charged us $74!
Live and learn! Beware!
Good afternoon, George.

Hotel was very nice. Large room was very clean. Breakfast was decent. Pool closed for repairs.
Good afternoon, Betty.

First and last time using TravelUp. Due to unforeseen circumstances, we needed to delay our trip by 2 days. I contacted TravelUp to see if I could modify the date of stay. Not cancel, just move to another day. They advised me to contact the hotel directly and ask them. The hotel not only did not honor a date change, by the time they responded to my request, the hotel was full. I booked this hotel for a reason, we had an overnight layover, and I wanted to be close for convenience. Now we have to stay off site, and am out the cost of the room I originally booked, as not refund is being granted. I am a frequent travel, and have never had such a disappointing experience with any other 3rd party app. I will not be using this website again.
Good afternoon, Lori.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re genuinely sorry to hear about the issues you experienced with your booking, and we truly empathise with the frustration this situation has caused.
At TravelUp, we strive to ensure that our customers have a seamless and stress-free travel experience, and we’re deeply sorry that we couldn’t meet your expectations this time. Unfortunately, as a third-party provider, our role is to facilitate the booking process and ensure everything is in place for your stay. Once the booking is confirmed, the ability to modify or cancel rests with the hotel itself.
When you reached out regarding changing your stay, we contacted the hotel directly to discuss your request. However, they clearly informed us that they could not accommodate the date change due to availability issues, as the hotel was fully booked for the dates you needed. We shared this information with you, but we understand this was disappointing, especially since you had chosen the hotel for its convenience.
We sincerely regret that this situation left you in a difficult position, and we understand your frustration. If there is anything we can do to assist or provide further clarification, please feel free to reach out to us.
We value your feedback and will continue to work hard to improve our service for all our customers.
Warm regards,
TravelUp

Answer: Hopeless. They don't reply to emails. Can't get through on the phone. Useless. Better to forget about them and lose the stress. Have accepted I'll never see my money again.
Answer: Good morning, we can see that one of the team has responded to your email this morning and sent over a payment link for your balance. Kind Regards, TravelUp Team
Answer: Good afternoon, Yes we are a legitimate site. If you have any questions please do let us know! Kind Regards, Travelup Team
