Refund
My money paid for my accommodation has been refunded from the manager of the accommodation to Expedia then to booking.com.
It should then have been refunded to me.
I have not received it yet. It’s been weeks. The accomodation was disgusting and we were unable to stay. We had to pay elsewhere. Everyone has agreed to the refund and booking.com has my money but has not transferred it to me yet. There have been countless emails and phone calls. The matter has been escalated but still no refund
Desired outcome: Refund to me urgently
Customer service and hotel
I am complaining today in relation to an ongoing issue with a recent stay booked through booking.com. I have used booking.com for a long time now and a Genius member level 2 (almost level 3). I booked a hotel to stay in, in Newcastle for 2 nights. I opted for the "pay at property" feature as I also do. On arrival to the hotel I paid by card at the property...
Read full review of Booking.com and 2 commentsRefund of money
I booked a trip through booking.com back in august 2023 in Broadbeach Queensland.
The accommodation was paid in full. When we got to the accommodation the apartment was dirty and uninhabitable and should have had 2 beds which it did not. We stayed one night as there was nowhere else to go.
There were no more rooms available, so we had to go elsewhere.
The manager at the accommodation has refunded my money to Expedia who has refunded the money to booking.com.
I have been waiting for weeks for my refund.
The case has been escalated at booking.com but I'm still waiting. All documentation has been provided showing all monies have been refunded by the other parties.
Desired outcome: I would like my money to be refunded.Booking.com have had the money for weeks and several emails saying this will be sorted out and I will receive the refund.

I booked a car in Rome, Italy with Europcar through Booking.com. I also rented a baby seat for my 6-month-old baby because they offered the option.

I canceled the reservation because baby seats are mandatory by...
Read full review of Booking.comBayside hotel & self catering
I booked with Bayside hotel and Self catering based on their advertising of what the place looked like on your app booking.com for my son and 3 other young gentlemen that had to find accommodation for a gala they were attending.
On their arrival the place that they arrived at was NOTHING to what they expected to arrive at based on the website. They were shown to a room and in passing the person that showed them the room said that there would be a party held so a lot of noise. REALLY. My son then said no way not satsified. They were shown to another room and the door was loose. It was not a self catering apartment as booked only a microwave.
Sorry I want a refund of funds paid to them as this is false advertising. Looks nothing reputable from the photos sent to me by my son. They reviews are definitely nothing to go by. How 8.1 is a rating. Have no idea.
Desired outcome: I want a FULL Refund of my money. It is shocking how the hospitality industry has taken a dive.DUrban will not be a desitnation for me EVER and I will definitely not be using Booking.com for reputable places.
Scam links in app and fraudulent payment
I received a message through the Booking.com app (not via email or text) that I needed to add a payment card to my booking. I did so in good faith and have now been charged £87.25 twice. When I raised this with Booking.com, they informed me that it was a scam. They took no responsibility that this was through their app. Each time I try to raise a complaint, I just keep going round in circles either having to provide all the booking details (including getting an email asking for this information for an email I have sent providing these details), or by getting the same scam response.
I am not a vulnerable person with regards to technology. I report spam emails and texts. I only responded to this link as it was through their app. This is really serious, as other people could be at risk, but Booking.com are proving difficult to deal with and don't want to accept any responsibility.
Desired outcome: I want them to acknowledge the issue with the app so that other people don't get scammed. I want a refund for both of the incorrect charges.
Fraudulent guest support
I learned that a guest provided a fake name and, most likely, fake credit card information. I reported this guest and booking.com was unhelpful. They said the only thing they can do is reach out to the guest to update her credit card information. I told Booking that she will not respond because she provided fake information. Booking advised me to change her...
Read full review of Booking.comBooking Made for Sentosa in Hoedspruit(29th September-30 September 2023) Ref:[protected]
I made a booking( for 3 adults and 2 kids) at Sentosa for my family to travel to Hoedspruit for the 29th September checking out on the 30th September 2023. Upon my road trip to the place we hit a pothole(4h30pm) which damaged 2 tyres . We were unable to continue with the trip as we had to be towed back to Gauteng. I timeously(8:11 pm) informed booking.com and the host via email and whatsup of my predicament.
Whilst the booking confirmation provided a cancellation time of 23;59 for the 29th September .The host decided to breach the same cancellation policy and refused to refund me the stipulated 50% of my money. I reached out to Booking.com about this and they have since gone silent even not answering phone calls made to their call centre neither responding to messages posted within their APP. This has been frustrating and has led me to even request a chargeback from my bank to Sentosa.

we did not stay in the hotel booked on confirmation [protected] Pin 5166,
the hotel was very dirty and smelt bad (boild cabbage smell in the whole hotel) the carpets were torn and dirty and the furniture was old and broken. we where shown a room by the staff it was not good just a bed and a sofa (dirty) we ask for another roomand told not possible, the staff had no interest at all. Not sure if you look at hotels on your selection but this one would fail. I feel on this occasion a refund should be made to me. we have allways been happy with your listings but this is making me doubt using you in the furture. I look forward to recieving your coments.

When we arrived at the boho style property in bonita springs florida on tues 26th sep at 10pm and as soon as we got in we see the door had been smashed in and locks changed 3 times in the past which we have photo proof and immediately did not feel safe and had to barricade the door with a sofa just to try and get some sleep as we had been travelling for 15 hours and it was late at night so we we left in the morning and booked another house as this place was not secure and the photos on the web site must be 20 yrs old as it was in a poor state so we will require our money back or I will be taken legal action.

Bookings.Com incompetency
Good DAY
I made a booking for the below, last week Thursday 2023/09/21 at Amanzimtoti Beachfront Holiday Apartment, Flat No 23, and the booking was confirmed but unfortunately there were no vacant rooms in that hotel. The owner was shocked because he was fully booked, and he asked that I cancel.
Booking.com does not verify if there are vacant rooms in a hotel but however it confirms booking. I request that I get my money in full because money was deducted from my account, but the error is on BOOKING.COM.
I still await payment or reimbursement till date.
Desired outcome: Reimbursement without any cancellation fee since booking.com is the one in the wrong
Bed bugs in the bed
I recently stayed in an Airbnb apartment in Golden Square, London, 17-22 Sept., booked and paid through Booking.com and had the most horrific experience. I awoke early in the morning to see bed bugs on the sheet and on the duvet right near my face and my head. I rushed out of the bed and managed to take photos before crushing them. I immediately wrote to...
Read full review of Booking.comPayment that Booking.com won't stop.
On the 7 of September, I booked a house to stay in from the 8-11. However, I never received a conformation and pin. I tried my best to contact them, which it's not easy to. When I did get in contact with their customer service department they kept asking for a conformation and pin which I never received. I used Affirm to do my payment plan through, but I am unable to stop the payment for something that I never used. Afrrim keep telling me that Booking.com has to stop it I given the ID for the payment but Booking.com will not cancel the payment. It does even showup in their Booking portal.
Desired outcome: I would like for this issue to be corrected.

Read full review of Booking.com and 8 commentsFlight cancellation and refund. My name is Nompumelelo Ndlovu. I booked a flight from Durban to London for the 6th ( ref: 40-[protected])
In 16 July 2023 I cancelled the flight. I have been awaiting for a refund as I need to book for another flight. My communication with your consultant ms has not been helpful. I have been told that the airline( emirates) are the course of the delay in my payment. One consultant from you side gave me the Airline reference no. - KRUPAF for me to do my own follow ups. The airline confirmed that a payment was made 15 days after the refund was requested.
I have been going back and forth with this with limited support. My last contact with the airline, they informed me that it is booking. Com’s responsibility to follow up about my refund if there are issues, telling me that you should be contacting their sales support team if the ref does not appear in 15 days which has long past.
Can I be assisted with getting my refund as soon as possible as I been to make another booking.
