Booking.com

We booked a car on booking.com it says that you pay at counter the confiramtion number is [protected]. The car company easy car rental in west palm beach. The actual charge was with carrentals.com... Booking.com has manipulated it way of conducting business on the internet by not actually charging your card but using other companies to limit there liablilty, booking.com is known to be misleading and very unethical in its business practices, marketing and misrepresentations on how they do business. They make it impossible to contact them - you are unable to get throught to there customer service because the confrmation email only has booking number and no pin number. It is time that this website is blocked in usa and canada for its unethical misleading way of doing business. We are now investigating all our options... Class action lawsuits besides contacting our representatives in the government both in canada and usa to have there website blocked since there are thousands of complaints of how unethical and misleading booking.com conducts business. The confirmation number is [protected]
We do not want the rental cancelled we want booking.com to honur what it says in the email and website... We wanted to change the credit card and that was refused by carentals, com and easy car rental...

Lets see how effective you are able to get answers... Or get someone at booking.com to contact us... Or do we go the press and social media to share this matter and wake up the drectors at booking.com that we are on a mission to hold them liable for false, misleading uethical business practices both in canada and usa

My name is Jennifer Worrell and my Visa credit card was illegally used to pay three hotel bills on Booking.com. This has just come to my attention and I would like you to investigate this query with a view to retrieving/refunding these funds to me. Apparently they were made from India and I have not visited India since 1998. Please I need your assistance because these add up to a considerable amount.

Whilst trying to book this hotel through Booking.com for the 14/2/2020, my booking page reverted to h the 14/11/2019, which I didn't notice. The hotel have now charged me £264 for a stay I didn't have and the hotel or Booking.com will not issue a refund.
I have tried on numerous occasions to get this resolved but I am getting shut down at every step I try to find.
I do feel this so unfair as I am being charged for something I didn't get to use.

We booked a room in Golden Tulip Al Nasiriah Hotel. As an option we chose no prepayment variant which was suggested by the hotel itself. Yesterday I got a message from the hotel via Bookin.com that we have to give credit card details in 48 hours otherwise they will cancell our reservation . But the problem is, we have already given this info while making a reservation via Bookin.com so is there any need to ask for the credit card details again? I wrote them and called no one asked me. Hotel gives an option of '' no prepayment'' so why do they need our credit card number and other details again?

I booked a luxury resort in Fort Lauderdale for 3 nights for a king room at a non-refundable rate. Grand daughter wanted to join us so tried to upgrade to 2 queen beds. Booking.com stated I would have to cancel the king booking and would be charged full rate for the three prepaid nights and rebook. Original cost of 3 nights $450. Cost of new reservation $530 for a total of $980. Finally called the hotel direct and they were most accommodating and fixed it.

Booking.com is a money trap and I will never use it again.

Crown Plaza Hotel and Resort, Fort Lauderdale FL

Room was not as advertised. Offered a room called "booking.basic" which includes all taxes and fees in price. Once we arrived we had to pay additional monies for taxes and fees. Listing also said partial ocean view, room had no view at all with all the windows being opaque so you can't even see out them. Called Customer service and they were absolutely worthless!

Hello,
I booked a hotel back at the end of July and had accidentally booked it for the wrong date, not realizing I had confirmed something that was non refundable. I immediately cancelled this after realizing my mistake but was still charged over 400.00 for the room. I was not able to go to the hotel on the date I reserved which is why it was immediately cancelled. I understand a no refund policy but within 24 hours to realize I had made a mistake and to not be able to move the reservation is completely unacceptable. I was treated poorly when calling to speak to customer service and will continue to dissuade others from using this website.

I listed my investment property on booking.com on 8th October 2019 and they said they would send me a code to verify the property by 18th Oct. I thought it would be sent to my home address but later thought it might have been the actual listed address but I forgot to check.
On 6/11 booking.com terminated my account saying there were fraudulent and irregular activities with no further advice on how I could reinstate or reactivate the account
Spoke to customer service who said it was closed due to the address not being verified. Even if I found the code in the mail to verify the addresss, they would not reopen my account.
That is the most unreasonable action any company has taken.
There was no fore warning that if the address wasn't verified that the account would be terminated forever.
To top it off they said it was effective 14 days from the email, but they have closed my account and I can't access it.
They also cancelled all my bookings and emailed me that I had successfully cancelled them!
They told my guest that I no longer worked for them. I never did. They worked for me as I paid them commission for the bookings coming through! The customer service member didn't have a good grasp of English.
I hope someone can help me out with this.

I am thoroughly disgusted with Booking.Com. They advertised a hotel that was so hideous it was like being in a horror movie. I paid for it through their site so I was forced to spend a night there or forfeit all my money. I took photos of the broken, smelly, dirty, run down room and contacted Booking.Com. They said I hadn't paid enough for the room to get any customer service from them. WHAT business are they running exactly? A hotel booking one or a customer service one. I thought I was paying for a hotel booking, but apparently I was supposed to pay for customer service. Is this even LEGAL? Falsely advertise, take money and refuse to even help with a complaint? They are thieves! Don't use them. Contact the hotel directly.

I booked to stay one night in Holiday Inn Express Sheffield city centre on the 18th October and paid you with my credit card of which I can prove through a statement.
Then the Express Inn asked for the payment again that night, of which I can prove through statement.
I therefore will be cancelling by credit card payment to booking. com.
Many thanks

Dear Sir/Madam
I booked a night stay at the Finedon Lodge through yourselves yesterday on 30th October
- Confirmation Number [protected]
- Booked VIA bookin.com.

When I arrived at the hotel there was nobody at reception to check me in even though I had booked and purchased a room off your website (booking.com). I tried calling the hotel several times and no-one answered the phone. After this I rang your helpline to see if they could contact the owners and get me checked in. I was left on hold for a substantial amount of time once I got through, I was told I would get a phone all back within 30 minutes once they had spoken with the hotel whether this was by email or phone. I was told by booking.com customer representative that if the hotel did not come back with in 30 mins booking.com would find me another hotel close to where I had already booked. I did not get a call and when I tried to call back, I couldn't get through as they have said the confirmation number has already been used.
Again, I never received a phone call back from you or the hotel. I was left outside in the cold wondering what I should do. I had booked and paid for a hotel and didn't have a room and had nowhere to go or sleep for the night. I had been working throughout the day and had to return to work duties early the next morning, hence the reason for booking the hotel. As it was getting later and later into the night, I was forced to book myself into another hotel at a premium price as it was so late which incurred further costs and further delay in my rest period between work shifts.
I am extremely disappointed in the level of customer service that I was given and experienced due to this catalogue of errors and I expect a full refund and more from yourselves as compensation.

I have sent more emails than I can count regarding a booking made for a hotel room. Attached is an email copy advising I am due a refund as the room was double booked and we couldnt stay in it.
I have still not received anything and this has been since September 10th. I keep repeating the same emails and I'm getting nowhere. I wish to complain and take this alot further as I value the website but not enough that I am not cared for in respect of my business to them.

Dear Sirs, I was charged for a booking at Hotel casa celestino for 400 euros. This booking does not show in my bookings and I had canceled my bookings for that trip due to a death in the family. I am requesting to be reimbursed for this amount or at least for it to be kept in my account for future use. To note that I have been using this website for my bookings for many years and I'm aware of the cancellation process, and this booking didn't and still doesn't show in my bookings. Thank you for your action.
Rachel

We booked through booking.com for a week stay from October 19th 2019 until 25th October 2019. The original apartment was going to be number 115 but they changed it to number 176 due to a plumbing issue.
When we arrived we were struck by an overwhelming smell of stale tobacco smoke. Upon inspection I noted that the kitchen was not clean, there was dirt on top of the refrigerator, a dead cockroach in the kitchen cupboard and food particles in the corner of the living room. My wife contacted WanderJaunt helpdesk with photos and they said they would sort this out. Nothing happened. My wife called again and they said they would send a team to rectify the problems but they would not be able to get there until 5pm. When we returned later that evening they had left a small electric ionizer switched on in the living room and removed the dead cockroach. Nothing had been cleaned, the fridge was as dirty as I had found it and the food particles were still on the floor in the living room. The place still stank of smoke.
We informed WanderJaunt that we were finding alternate accommodation as the whole place reeked of smoke including the towels in the bathroom. There response was very unhelpful, all they said was their cancellation policy would still stand.
I complained in person to the leasing office on site for Del Sol Apartments and I spoke to Ashlee Miller and her colleague and they said WanderJaunt should deal with this. We left the apartment on Tuesday 22nd instead of staying until Friday 25th and moved to another property for the remainder of our stay in Scottsdale.
We require a full refund as compensation.

Travel enthusiast:

2018 was my first trip abroad, australia I browsed the internet for cheap car rental and I wind up at the following website. *alert *warning *scam *fraud

https://www.economybookings.com/
https://www.booking.com/

https://www.bookinggroup.com/

The price within my budget for thirty days the price was 741.00 the price is european euro dollars.
That's the first fraud the price is in another currency it is a bait and witch.
Then they ask to verify the name and booking time and date. Big mistake they charge your account immediately without confirmation or warning the money is taken out immediately before arriving at your destination. Fraud number two.
Once the money is taken you can't change your mind or rearrange your travel time and date.
Your name address email account and phone are compromised by selling the information to other telemarketing because you mail and email account is inundated with junk mail. Fraud number three.
If and when you return the vehicle back to the car rental earlier the money they have taken out will not be refunded. This is what I have done returned the car earlier and I requested for the remainder of the fund. Sure they have a section on their website for filing a complaint. All of it is empty gesture, they wait three to four days and then they'll advise you of reading the fine print there is no reimbursement. Fraud number four.

Greetings,
My friend booked a hotel in Dubai through your http://Booking.com website using my credit card on October 03, 2019. After a few hours the website canceled his reservation and didn't not refund my money back. Please advise how can I return my money back?!
I have sent more than 10 emails to Booking.com and I didn't receive a good response. They keep asking me for the confirmation while I sent it many times ( which seems to me that they are not even reading my emails) I attached the bank statement and their cancellation message including the confirmation number.

Dear Booking.com,
We arrived late on Oct 19th (3am on the 20th) to find the manager asleep on the lobby lounge. We registered and were taken to our room via 4 flights of stairs. The elevator was broken and appeared to have been out of "service" for quite some time. When we entered the room we found: rubbish on the floor, dirt and dust on all flt surfaces, dirt on all window and window ledges, dirt and hair on the window sills, dust on the bed headboard, air con not working, hot water not working, fridge with broken base sitting on angle, no curtains, electrical outlets in disrepair and overall the room was filthy. When we check out and cancelled the remaining booking we could see the lobby was also filthy and in general poorly maintained. Photos included. Does booking.com actually inspect the hotels offered to its customers? Does Booking.com take responsibility for the safety and health of its customer? Does booking.com have a standard of condition for its customers? Can you justify how your customers are exposed to unhealthy, dirty and non-functional hotels? Please explain? Booking.com cannot hide behind the hotel to ensure a clean, healthy and safe environment. Booking.com is ultimately responsible for all its internal clients' issues and shortcomings especially when it involves health and safety. Sincerely, Clyde Summers & Kleoniki Venardos
PS if the photos are not uploaded please provide an email address where these photos can be sent.

I have been making reservations for my trip to Italy in December. All the reservations that I had made had a cancellation fee of zero. Today, 18 October 2019, I received confirmation that my Italy Visa application was declined. Hence I had to cancel all my reservations. I have just noted a payment authorization that was made from my account by 'BERINI CHIARA'. I made no reservation with this establishment. I do not know how their obtained my card details.

I am highly disappointed with bookings.com. I have now opted to freeze my account as I am concerned that more payments will be made from my personal account.

I have contacted the customer service and I have not received any response. I would like to recover my money. An amount of EUR150 was deducted from my personal account.

My personal email address is [protected]@gmail.com

I have evidence of the deduction from my account.

My name is Abdulrahaman Alrezaihi. I have confirmed reservations via Booking on 11th October.
BUT when I arrived on hotel on 16th october, the hotel assured that my payment has Not been received from your end. I had to pay for tonight until payment was made.

My booking number is
[protected] Pin code 813359

I called three times to booking support team with no success. I am travel aboard and I don't have enough money to rebook the hotel with three nights.

PLEASE HELP on this matter. This is totally unacceptable. I have confirmed booking with hotel but the payment has not been made though I have been charged from your side. I don't want to be just refund with original amount as I am spent a full night for 16th with hotel rate and I cant stay for two additional nights with their rate.
