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.

The website kept refreshing and changing the dates. So when I booked, the dates were wrong. The actual dates were not available. When I try to cancel the same hour, I still got charged with the $33 fee. Will not use this service again.

Is there a reason why you don't send an email with all the reservation details? Why is it that you only have a download and print option? Are you assuming that everyone owns a printer?

I was not happy with my booking at all. I made a common error and your customer service rep would not help me fix it. Told me to cancel and start all over so I guess how you make your money if people make mistakes. This was the worst experience.

Good morning,

We are very sorry to hear of your situation.

Unfortunately this can depend on the booking made. Non changeable bookings we would have to create a new booking or try to liaise with our supplier. If your booking is changeable to we can change the dates for you and there may be a new cost depending on the rates on that day.

We apologise for any inconvenience that this may have caused to you.

Kind regards, TravelUp Team

Ad fraud - you click on an Adult Only choice for hotel, then they put you in Family!
And won't fix it. They are horrible and unwilling to help.
Don't fall for it folks!

Dear Maria,

We are very sorry if there was a delay in response. Due to COVID-19 unfortunately we have been experiencing larger volumes of request which has been slowing down our response rate. We are very glad to see this issue has now been resolved.

Dear Martina,

We are sorry to hear about the passengers situation.

Unfortunately, the hotel had closed and the guests were relocated. Our suppliers offered us two options which matched the price and standard of the original. We then offered this to you or a full refund. We have done exactly what was needed to assist the passengers in question. Unfortunately relocations do happen from time to time caused by the hotel.

We apologise if you have had any inconvenience during this process.

Kind regards, TravelUp Team
