TravelUp Reviews Summary

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. Instances of billing discrepancies and perceived bait-and-switch tactics have contributed to a growing sentiment of frustration among users. While some customers report positive interactions with staff, the overall trend indicates a need for improved communication and reliability to enhance customer trust and satisfaction.

First time to use this site; by far the best price but had to ask the front desk what 'standard room' meant before I was willing to book 'non refundable'.

Hair and urine on the toilet, hair in the shower, the floors not cleaned, the way the sheets were depressed into the mattress, left me feeling like the linens were not changed. They don't make enough money to keep it clean, just keep looking.

My first experience with TravelUp, easy to book. I find the app no so much user friendly, I needed to look on how to add my booking to the mobile app, could benefit from an easier interface with the user.
Overall a positive experience

Booked tickets and then rang straight away to cancel due to very high cancellation fees compared to other companies but was told will have to pay £75 p/p admin cost pkus £30 booking fee. I did all work by booking tickets online and not yet even received etickets so whats £75 p/p admin fee and £30 booking fee for? Ive managed to cancel before with other companies before etickets were issued and got full refund but TRAVELUP are trying to scam me. Spoke to their advisor who pretended to be supervisor then later denied he wasnt a supervisor and wasnt bothered when i told him that i will be taking this matter further. AVOID THESE SCAMMERS AT ALL COST.

Is there an option for 0 stars. Chose two nights on the reservation and the booking was made for one night and on the incorrect date. Wrote to Customer Sevice and the responded that they could cancel the reservation but no refund could be made. I requested a correction on the date but no help was given.

$100+ fees to correct errors with no explanation
May 17, 2023
Updated review

I asked several times what are these added on fees that ended up being close to an extra $200 dollars to change DATES months in advance. NOT one rep ever replied. Only was ever replied "please confirm new dates and price" this website is garbage in their customer service and call center. This is the first and only time I will EVER do business with this website.

Service was not good at all. I traveled all the way to the Dominican Republic from South Africa only to find our t that my ticket had been cancelled. NI had paid and still waiting for my refund. Fortunately, there was still space and I had to buy another ticket directly from the airline.

The room was terrible, unsafe, and needed a lot of maintenance. My wife and son have severe allergies and my wife has an autoimmune disease. The bathroom was full of mold and in disrepair. There was a large stain on the carpet that was from God knows what. My wife and son could not breathe so they couldn't stay in the room which forced us to have to book another hotel for the remainder of our trip. In addition, the phone didn't work, the WiFi didn't work, and there was hair left from a previous hotel guest in the room and bathroom. This is completely unacceptable and nearly ruined my wife's birthday. We have picture evidence of all of this should you need to see it. The hotel has agreed to refund us our money. They are waiting on TravelUp to authorize it.
