Booking.com horrible service after payment went through

I have never been so disappointed in an international hotel booking site than in booking. com. I've been going to phuket, thailand for the last 3 years. I normally do the hotel accommodation myself by comparing 3 or 4 international websites with each other and by reading all the reviews on hotels that I am interested in. I've always made use of agoda. com because of their excellent rates. It was only in june 2012 that I have, for the first time, made use of booking. com, due to the stunning rate they have offered on baan laimai resort in phuket - in my opinion this was the biggest mistake in my whole life !

I took a chance by booking the hotel without even having my air tickets. I have received a confirmation message from booking. com, indicating that my payment confirmed and guaranteed my booking. I then proceeded in getting my air tickets. I was only able to get air tickets, departing earlier and leaving later, thus a longer period. However, luckily the 13 days that I have booked at baan laimai resort fell inside this period, but I need additional accommodation. It was only then, that I became suspicious about the booking. I asked booking. com to add more days at the hotel in the beginning of the set booking period. - they informed me that they did not have any availability but that I can cancel my booking, should I wish to do so (I really found this slightly odd as with the initially booking no cancellation could be done without losing all my money) the second time around I asked for more days at the end of my booking - with yet exactly the same excuse and option for cancellation. Two days later I received an email from booking. com informing me that they have seized their business with the said hotel due to recent complaints about the standard and quality of the accommodation at baan laimai resort. I found that very strange because on non of the websites'reviews of this hotel did I find anything like this. Booking. com told me that they do take the guest reviews and complaints very seriously and will thus suspend their service until the necessary improvements to the hotel have been made. And yes again - the assurance that I can cancel my booking and that the costs will be for the hotel's account..

I was still comfortable with my booking and payment - and did not want to cancel under any circumstances. However, the next message from booking. com really caused took the wind out of my sails. Booking. com informed me that my reservation was cancelled. They claimed that they have been contacted by the hotel to cancel this booking due to the temporarily closing of the hotel (Some what different from the first reason). In any event, I doubled checked on all the other web-sites - and baan laimai was pretty much open to business.

I wrote a message to booking. com - indicating my frustration by the cancellation and the different reasons therefor. I asked them to honor my booking as payment was received by them which had guaranteed my booking. I did not receive any response!. I sent the same message another 3 times - still with no response. Then I phoned the offices in south africa [protected] for 4 days in a row - with every consultant telling me another story until the last call, where I was told that booking. com doesn't owe me anything because they did not take my money - but that the hotel took it. I was also giving the advice to declare a dispute with my bank for payment ! How on earth ! I gave permission for payment by giving my banking details to booking. com and now this !

So yes, I have most probably lost my accommodation which I have done long in advance to get a good deal, even though I had not even purchase flight tickets at that time - I was willing to take this risk because I wanted to stay in baan laimai resort so badly. In my opinion I did everything in my power to guarantee my booking. In my opinion I am the victim in what I experience as a dispute on rates between the hotel and booking. com - as the rates charged on booking. com is well below to rates that are changed on the other websites. Now my booking is cancelled, and I stand the danger of not getting my money back or get new accommodation to the same quality and for the same value.
Apart from the fact that I do not have extra money - to make another booking - it is very late in the year to get decent affordable accommodation over the december period. So the chances will most probably be that I have to cancel my flight tickets - because I will not have accommodation or extra money for new accommodation.
I tried to make contact with the hotel, and I have received the following feedback & ndash; which did not really came as a surprise, because I was suspecting the problem was lying with booking. com’s incorrect rates.
“dear maralise brits
Greetings from baan laimai beach resort, patong beach, phuket!

We are really sorry for this inconvenience that caused, first off all we would clarify this problem that is not from our sides because this problem is come from booking. com that improve their system that make our price that shown on web site wrong. We have contact to booking. com about this problem and let them solve this problem for us, we cannot confirm all bookings that made with wrong rate until we received any responsible from booking. com. Many times have discussed with
Senior account manager of booking. com thailand, it's seem like they will not do anything that shown responsible with this mistaken, and last thing that they do with these booking and with us is stop sale contract and suspense our web page on their site. And all the bookings that have problem has cancelled from them also.
We just to solve this problem that if bookings have been charge, now we are under processing to refund for guest.

About your bookings we will do refund for you but if you would like to cancel we can offer special rate for you.
We do apologize for this inconvenience again”.

So all along booking. com was covering up for a vital mistake made by themselves and they are most probably getting away with it ! I think booking. com should be expose for what they are doing to innocent customers, they should take responsibility for their own mistakes by advertising incorrect rates and should instead of punishing and bad-mouthing the hotel, rather try their best to solve this mistake and accommodate their customers. All the customers have entered into a contract with booking. com and not with the hotel. So the responsibility lies with booking. com! A company like booking. com should not get away with this !

Booking.com did not cancel hotel as requested

I made a booking through Booking.com for a hotel in Germany. A few months before the trip I found out I had lost my job and would not be able to go, so I cancelled. The cancellation went through as accepted, but thinking back, I do not recall getting a cancellation email - this admittedly is something I should have chased up, but I did not think at the time.

I then recieved a no show invoice from the hotel asking me to pay the full price within two weeks. I emailed them to let them know of my circumstances and that I would not be able to pay and should not have to pay as the fault lied with Booking.com. I also emailed Booking.com but they just told me to speak with the hotel directly. The hotel are now sending me demanding emails, stating that I must pay the money in full within the next week, I simply do not have £600 lying around to give them. They are threatening me with court and the Police if we do not pay. I have tried explaining that it is not my error so I should not be forced to pay, but they just say that I have to pay the money. I understand that they have lost money also, but I feel they should be compensated by Booking.com, not me.

Booking are not replying to my emails or doing anything helpful at all. I am very distraught and distressed at the whole situation.

Booking.com credit card fraud - scam

I booked a room on www.booking.com at Ferme de Geffosse (http://www.gite-normandie.com/). They asked the details of my credit card all though it WASN'T a prepaid booking.
They informed me that I should keep in touch the rest of details of arrival with the hotel.
They passed all the details of the credit card to the hotel.
Due to a health problem at one of the travelers, we had to cancel our trip to France.
I wrote an email to the hotel to cancel the reservation .
After couple of days I saw a charge of 600E on the bank-card without my approval from the hotel.

I tried to contact the hotel immediately but they had a problem with the email server.

After couple of days they wrote me an email that booking.com confirmed the payment. It was a lie because they charged me (I saw at the bank!).

I wrote an email to booking but they didn't respond.

NEVER give your credit card details to booking.com because they facilitates fraud.

There is no confusion.
After the complain, your company has an official position . I think it was written by a robot because doesn't respond to the above:

I canceled 1 day before. I've sent the email to the hotel.
You delivered the card details to them without my approval or prior notice.
When i sent you an email for details of the reason of charge you do not have the time for a response.
They didn't have the right to charge anything but I have all rights to inform every posible customer of your practices.

Hi - My wife booked a ten day stay at the Blue Waters Hotel in Durban via Booking.com and had a horrible experience as hooligans took over our floor for two days. Our Booking.com reviews (we placed two) was both dismissed as such failed to be made available to Booking.com users. Our conclusion is therefore that the Booking.com Scoring and review service is artificially manipulated and a possible outright scam, An email detailing our experience was also sent to management of the Blue Waters hotel to which we received no reply to date.

We booked online with Booking . Com last week. We chose to stay at the Danubius Health Spa Resort on Margit Island in Budapest. We read our booking, checked it and then paid and printed it. When we arrived at the Resort, we were told that we had booked the ' sister' hotel accidentally. After having re read it, in fine print was written Helia ( the inferior hotel) but with the superior hotels' address in large letters. There were magnificent pictures and we were looking forward to being pampered in a beautiful resort. No refund was possible as the credit card was activated and full payment was lodged.
definitely misleading advertising.

Booking.com customer satisfaction

I had made a reservation with Booking.com to the Shores of Panama from Oasis, Panama City Beach, Florda. Two days before my vacation, I called the hotel to confirm my reservation and they said my reservation had been cancelled. I called booking.com and they called the hotel to reconfirm the reservation, which they did. On my drive to the hotel on the first day of my vacation I again called the hotel to confirm my reservation and they again said it was cancelled. Booking had assured me my reservation was good two days prior to this. They ended up booking me in another hotel 4 miles down the beach away from from the rest of my family which caused me to sit in traffic for about two hours a day to get down to where my family was staying. They (Booking.com) claimed the new hotel (Caypso) was an upgrade but I have to disagree because we had less bathrooms and our east side seemed to have only one elevator working and 5 minute wait every time not to mention it was too far away from my other family members down by our orginal hotel. When I checked out, I had to pay 30% more than what I had planned for. This was the worst experience for a vacation you could have. The whole time I had the Hotel blaming Booking and Booking blaming the Hotel. What a nightmare. My Booking number was [protected].

I was staying in Hotel 81 Elegance, Singapore for 4 nights by booking through Booking .com. On 26th Jan, 13 @ 1 pm when I requested front desk to extend my stay they charge me high rate equivalant to any Singapore 4 star hotel. This kind of fraud is not acceptable and not good business practice. The Front office boys shouted and done stupid behavior. These people has very low human value and no compromise in life. This kind of irritating peoples must be punished for better company future business.

I had a similar, terrible experience where my location was moved and the local company tried to get me into their car to take me to the new location. I felt uncomfortable and was furious with booking.com for putting me in the situation by not making me aware of a location change. i also wasted about 5 hours figuring out the whole ordeal and they are not offering a first night's refund. I plan to contact the better business bureau. Does anyone else have any issues with booking.com to aid in building the case?

Booking.com price match

Booked an Hotel with Booking.com on a Saturday afternoon, found the same hotel cheaper on another web site. Which I booked with a view to cancel the Booking.com, but couldn't due to a non refundable booking, so had to cancel the cheaper one. Found out that Booking.com do a price match so sent e-mails to customer service along with a scanned copy of my booking and payment through the cheaper company to assist them with the refund. Received an email back from Booking.com saying that they can only give a price match when they are notified to investigate the price match, which as you guessed it when they got round to a price match the cheaper company had increased in costs, so sending them my booking receipt was a waste of time. I will not be booking with them again and also the company (Blue chip) which I work for will not be using them again. Regards Lynda

I have had a similar problem with booking.com and their price match guarantee. I booked 2 rooms for 4 adults in a hotel with booking.com then found it cheaper on another website, I requested a price match and it was denied, with the reason being that the other website was more expensive, they provided a screenshot proof showing a higher rate per night, however this was for only 1 room with 4 adults. I tried to explain that the rate was higher because the hotel charged a higher rate for quadruple occupancy rather than double occupancy, and asked them to check again and book exactly the same as what was booked through their website, unfortunately they again sent me another request denied and another screenshot with the booking wrong. On the third attempt I even sent them a screenshot of the booking on the other website, which they chose to ignore and sent me another request denied, saying that the rate doesn't change, this time they conveniently didn't attach a screenshot as proof.

Booking.com misleading and deceptive practices

My wife decided to book a one week stay in Florida near Disney. She found the Booking.com website and booked the vacation. She was aware that there were no refunds. She was also told that we would not be charged until we checked in. Unfortunately, we were charged prior to check in. There was a $1, 794.38 charge on our debit card. I was going to use my credit card when I arrived to charge the room. We had no problem with paying we just weren't ready to be charged yet and that caused us to have insufficient funds. We were able to move money into the account from another account but the point is they clearly stated we would not be charged and I had to pay a $35.00 fee at my bank. We called but got the run around. Fortunately the hotel chain is Holiday Inn and they couldn't have been more helpful. If you use Booking.com assume you will be charged right away and you can avoid this type of incident. For our part we learned a lesson.

Booking.com glitches during booking process caused incorrect reservation

I searched for a hotel in NYC for 3/2/2001. When I clicked through to Booking.com, their system transposed the date and month values, and the hotel received a reservation for 2/3/2001. I of course did not realize the glitch until I called to confirm with the hotel a few days prior to my trip. When the hotel couldn't find my reservation for 3/2 I checked my CC statement and saw that I had been charged as a no-show a month prior.

Unfortunately, since the hotel is not at fault, they have no incentive to offer me a refund or apply my charges towards another reservation. I called Booking.com where I spoke with an agent who initially tried to blame me for the mixup. When I told him that I would be contacting Kayak.com about the issue, he offered to call the hotel, but could not get them to refund or reapply the charges. He then told me that I was basically out of luck, and because Booking.com doesn't take payments from customers, they don't issue refunds.

This company does not stand behind their service, and when errors occur within their system, they blame the customer. They are unreliable and will leave you stranded with no recourse!

Booking.com insecurely providing guest credit card details to third party

  An awful experience at Elphin Villas in Launceston. I've made a booking via BOOKING.COM of 2 bedroom studio for 4 person with confirmation that confirmed the rate at $150 however we were told $150 is for 2 person to stay in a 2 bedroom studio so $60 more has to be charged for extra 2 person upon check in. I then contacted BOOKING.COM and they said its kind of misunderstanding in which they will deal with the hotel to remain unchanged the rate. However the Receptionist Cathy couldn't be more than rude. She had never listened to the guest and kept saying that we are CHEATING in which she noticed that I did require for 4 person stay in the booking. I had never tried to cheat that we are 2. So I requested to see the manager Tania Seward for help and let her to talk to the agent but she ignored. As a hotel manager she had never tried to listen and help the guest but put all the responsibility on the guest's side even she noted our confirmation showed $150 but still insisted to charge us $210. I expressed I felt upset that her staff Cathy was terribly rude to said we were CHEATING, but she agreed and used her finger to point at the guest when we were making complaints.  It's unbelievable as a hotel manager could be such ridiculous and even couldn't handle such a minor case. Since we felt like being set so we decided to cancel the book then I called the agent to cancel the booking without any pentalty. However, Tania said we could do whatever we like but she will still charge our credit as late cancellation fee. I explained that it's not we intended to give up the accommodation but the problem was the rate showed difference in which was not our fault. 

Since she insisted charging us instead of letting us cancel the booking, we took a look of the room. ********The interior badly need renovation. Its very old and the beddings are dirty. The lightings also inadequate. Quite bad impression generally. *******We decided not to take the room due the the awful conditions and asked the hotel not to steal money from us but Tania horribly replied that it's not her money and she doesn't care. We then contacted BOOKING.COM again for help, the Senior Customer Care Excutive was surprisingly encourged tge hotel to CHARGE us even we were unhappy to the room rate difference, bad conditions of room & awful service of the hotel ! Since we felt helpless and wanted to call police. The awful manager Tania said she was happy to call the police for us but the police won't involve and no one could help us. After wasting 4 hours time there we left and my credit card was charged $210 right after. It's irridicuous to be charged for 4 person as it should only be charged the basic room charge for late cancellation or no show. We found that we were over charged then we called the hotel receptionist Cathy who stated that she didn't know anything and couldn't contact with the manager Tania then ignored the overcharge issue. I then called Tania on the next day regarding the over charge however she replied that she didnt understand what I meant and hung me up again. I felt so disappointed with this awful experience at Elphin Villas in Launceston.

We found NORTH LODGE with nearly a half price to stay in a penthouse. The hotel manager Renee  was so kind and helpful. She welcomed us and started conversation with us. After she found that we've got such a terrible day she then free upgraded  us to a penthouse with spa in the room as she also disagreed the attitude and the bad handling of Tania in which she would like to try her best to give us a pleasant stay and forget the bad impression about Launceston. I very much appreciated  Renee as she has the right attitude to work in the hospitality industry.

I'm working for Hilton Hotel & I have never seen a hotel manager could be that horribly rude & a hotel could over charged the guest and stated that it's according to the owner's instruction ! Moreover BOOKING.COM provided guest credit card details to the hotel and allow them to charge the guest without any responsibility ?!?!? It's awful & ridiculous  !  How could a hotel manager & customer excutive to do such awful thing to ruin a happy vacation of the tourist?! 

Anyway, trust me, don't stay at ELPHIN VILLAS and never make booking with BOOKING.COM. Its not worth the money. There are numerous motels along elphin road and we paid cheaper price finally but stayed happily at another motel with a magnificent view from the balcony. Don't risk spoiling your holiday like we did.

Booking.com misleading content

A few weeks ago I made a booking through booking.com for Star Hotel B&B in London. During the booking process the statement "there will be no fees charged on my credit card" was often shown. Beside that the hotel policies also stated that there would be no costs charged on my credit card. Although they did refer to the room description which could differ from the general hotel policies, but also the room description said that there would be no deposit fees charged on my credit card. I received a booking conformation by email. I will highlight only the important information about the cancelation and payment policy in the same order as in the booking confirmation:

Room description: No deposit fees will be charged
Cancelation policy: With a cancelation before 3 days of reservation date, no costs will be charged. Within 3 days 1 day will be charged. Cancelation until 27 October 0 costs
Hotel policy: Hotel policies can differ according to room type. For cancelation policy and deposit fees check the room description
Credit card/ guarantee/ paying information: All payments need to be done in the hotel, unless described different in the hotel policies or the room description
Important information: In the last sentence is written that 1 day will be charged in case of a booking more than 5 days, and this is non refundable.
Because I did not expect information that was in contradiction of the hotel and cancelation policies, I did not read this last sentence anymore.

A few days later I found out that there was 92, 04 Euro deducted from my credit card by Star Hotel B&B London. I wrote an email to booking.com to ask for an explanation. I received following answer of booking.com:

6/10/2011
Dear Berto V.
Thank you for contacting Booking.com.
Please be advised that following your recent email, the hotel does charge the first nights fee if a booking has 5 or more nights.
This information is highlighted under 'Important information' on the hotels page on our website. [see below]
=== For booking of 5 nights or more, the hotel charges a non-refundable deposit equivalent to one nights' stay. ===
Please feel free to contact us with any additional questions.
Thank you again for choosing Booking.com. We wish you a very pleasant stay at Star Hotel - B&B
Kind regards,
Ryan H.
Customer Service Team

After reading this email I wondered why booking.com would want to give such misleading information on their website. This last sentence of the whole booking was completely in contradiction of all the information given before. I wrote them a complaint about this, and received the following answer:

9/10/2011
Dear Berto V.
Thank you for contacting Booking.com.
We apologise for any confusion this issue may have caused.
Hotels can set restrictions for their property and they have it listed online separately from the cancellation and deposit policy because of how the system works. The computer system is unable to change the details in a policy based on a restriction. The hotel will list the restriction separately to make guests aware of the restriction and its effects on the policy. To protect the hotels, the restrictions do supersede the general policies and are set by the hotels.
Once again thank you for contacting Booking.com. Please contact us if you have any concerns or questions.
Kind regards,
Sarah M.
Customer Service Team

So booking.com will not take the responsibility for the content on their own site, because of how their system works? I wrote them an email again to ask why they blame the system and I received following answer from booking.com:

15/10/2011
Dear Berto V.
Thank you for contacting Booking.com.
We are sorry to hear of your continued dissatisfaction in Booking.com and the Star Hotel - B&B. I completely understand your frustration and sincerely apologise for the time it is taking to resolve your concerns.
I appreciate that it is very likely that you selected the Star Hotel - B&B in part because of its description and facilities as advertised on our website. However, as previously mentioned, the hotels themselves are responsible for all the information provided to you. Booking.com acts as an intermediary between the guest and the hotel and is therefore responsible for delivering the reservation correctly to the hotel. Once the hotel has confirmed the reservation it then becomes their responsibility to accommodate the guests.
I have called the hotel and have kindly requested that they make an exception and refund you the amount for the first night. Unfortunately the manager Luigi is not willing to make an exception and explained that on the website it states before and after making the booking that when booking 5 nights or more a non refundable deposit is mandatory. He explained that he has refused many people for this period you have booked and can not afford to loose all those days, hence this policy.
Should you wish to pursue this complaint further, we advise you to contact the hotel directly and speak with Luigi the manager on the details below.
Star Hotel - B&B
Phone: +[protected]
Fax : +[protected]
Email: [protected]@star-hotel.net
We would like to confirm that we have documented your concerns and valuable feedback.
Again, I am extremely sorry for the disappointment that this has caused you. We hope that despite this unfortunate situation, you will consider using Booking.com in the future.
Kind regards,

So now they blame the Hotel for the misleading information on their site. I wrote them an email again to ask why they now blame the hotel, and I received following answer from booking.com: (this time in Dutch)

16/10/2011
Geachte Berto V.
Hartelijk dank dat u contact heeft opgenomen met Booking.com.
Ter verduidelijking stuur ik u nogmaals de tekst die vermeld staat op onze website, onder het kopje " Belangrijke informatie".
==Voor boekingen van 5 nachten of meer brengt het hotel een niet-restitueerbare aanbetaling in rekening, gelijk aan de kosten van 1 overnachting.==
We begrijpen dat u hier over heen hebt gelezen en dat u zich hiervan dus niet bewust was. Dit vinden we erg vervelend.
Echter, op het moment dat u boekt gaat u akkoord met de voorwaarden van het hotel. Het is dan ook uw verantwoording om deze voorwaarden en informatie door te lezen, alvorens u hiermee akkoord gaat.
Mocht u nog vragen hebben, aarzel dan niet om contact met ons op te nemen.
Nogmaals bedankt dat u contact heeft opgenomen met Booking.com. Wij hopen dat wij uw keuze blijven voor uw toekomstige online reserveringen.
Met vriendelijke groet,
Iris K.
Customer Service Team

For the ones who don't understand Dutch, now they blame me, the customer. I am responsible for reading all information, even it is in contradiction of the hotel policies, the cancelation policy, the room description, and the payment guarantee. Not once they took their own responsibility for the content on their site, which is very misleading. I am still on a holiday, but when I come back I will counsel I lawyer. I have given booking.com more then enough options to come up with a proper solution. They do not take me serious. Even though I always sign my emails with my own name as well, they only signed their answers to Berto V. my partner. In the subject of my last emails I asked an answer from a Manager, but they didn't felt the urge to apply to my request.

I have had similar experience when booking to go away for a few days on the 3rd July for 3 nights at the penmarnja apartments and we clicked to reserve it as it says no prepayment needed and free cancellation before the 28th June. So two later I'm checking my bank and had a shock that the Full amount had been taken out straight away! We wasn't 100% on the location as we was unsure on where to go.
So anyway we decided we needed to change it anyway so I rang booking.com and the man was really rude saying every place has a different policy and I should have their policy well everywhere I have stayed has never taken the money out early so I thought it only says no prepayment needed' when it's nessacary. This is false advertisement. Discussing.

Similar situation but hopefully a different outcome!

I booked a room with booking.com on Monday, May 23, 2016, at 19:36:46 [CET] for check in on Saturday, May 28, 2016 at 3:00PM as it was informed on the website. Unfortunately the group planned to go on the trip fell back short and we had to cancel the trip, and the hotel booking through booking.com was canceled 1 minute after booking as stated on the cancellation email; Canceled on Monday, May 23, 2016, at 19:37:10 [CET].

Right away I was charged on my debit card (wrong move, should've paid through my credit card but since the group made a Venmo account to refund me for paying the hotel I thought it would be easier), the charging was just as fast as my request to cancel for the booking. No refund information was stated on the email of the cancellation, just a stated amount saying Total cancellation cost US$ 0 I emailed booking.com on Monday morning and still haven't received anything. The hotel policy that I booked through booking.com states Cancellations must be made at least 48 hours prior to arrival to avoid forfeiting the deposit amount. Cancellations must be made through the same reservation channel that you originally booked the room or package.

My cancellation was made way prior to my arrival date, and the deadline to cancel the request. I haven't been contacted back whatsoever to provide more information in what I should expect, since my question on the email requested for more information how everything would proceed.

as a hotel owner your booking made with booking.com is that a booking. they charge the hotel a commission for the booking
the booking cannot be cancelled by the hotel, only the booker can cancel. see the individual hotels cancellation policy.if you cancel within the policy rules you will not be charged . if you cancel within 24hours of your stay you will be charged the first night. if you do not turn up you will be charged the first night unless the hotel has a different policy. you must read all the terms and conditions not just the first page that only generally covers booking.com further reading will reveal the hotels terms and conditions

Sorry to hear about your situation. I'm concerned about the polices of Booking based on my research. Indeed I have to wonder...why does Booking not book reservations for hotels/services the same day like Cheap Tickets or Kayak does?
There shouldn't be a reason for making delayed reservations. Some of these rules don't even make sense. My one piece of advice is go with a reserve service that reserves the flight and hotel the same day, such as Travelocity

I don't trust you Booking CR...

And I really don't trust Booking.com come to think of it. I've read a number of quite alarming things about this establishment.

Why don't you make actual hotel-bookings "on the spot" like Cheap Tickets.com and other services such as Kayak, indeed do?

What is the reason for making such a delayed booking whether its on a flight, a hotel, or a service? I wonder who is in charge of operations. Sorry you had such a bad experience. I encourage visitors to buy their hotel reservation in advance from a professional ticketing agent, such as Kayak or Priceline. Do not count Booking.com is my advice.

Booking.com change of dates

Booked hotel from Oct 4 for 2 nights. On the 3rd contacted booking.com to say we could not make those dates as my husband was unwell. They did not contact the hotel until the 8th at which time the hotel told them we should have given alternate dates before the booking expired. If we had known that on the 3rd I would have come up with alternate dates. We have lost about 350 euros and booking.com are denying any responsibility. If I had booked direct with the hotel I would have known their policy but I expected booking.com to act on our behalf.
Any help you can give will be appreciated.

Booking.com cancellation o hotel room 2 days before due to attend a family wedding

I was due to travel a considerable distance to attend a family wedding, and 2 days before I was to stay at the burnhouse manor hotel the hotel sent me an emal to cancel, they advised it was the booking. com's fault. When I called booking. Cm they advised it was not their problem. This caused a big family arguement at a time that should have been a celebration. I am getting no where with either the hotel or booking. com

Booking.com unreliable system of booking.com

I booked the hotel on booking.com for my vacation on Aug. 17-21st in Cambodia. On Aug.22, I got a feedback request email from booking.com about Terrasse des Elephants Hotel & Restaurant which was not the hotel that I stayed. There is a tool named “my booking” on Booking.com. On the FAQ of Booking.com, it says “you can cancel or change your booking via our self-service tool “my booking”. There is no record of the booking of Terrasse des Elephants Hotel & Restaurant in my “my booking” page. I cancelled all the other hotels in “my booking” except the one that I stayed. I trusted their system and thought it was convenient to manage my bookings in their system. I didn’t double-check those confirmation letters mailed to me because I thought it wouldn’t be necessary since they got all my bookings in their system. After I got the feedback request mail, I found the confirmation letter of Terrasse des Elephants Hotel & Restaurant and interestingly saw the very same phrase “you can cancel or change your booking via our self-service tool “my booking”” in it. How could I cancel a booking that is NOT in “my booking”? The cancellation policy of this hotel is that they will charge the total price of reservation in case of no-show. I called the bank and realized that I haven’t been charged yet. In order not to be charged, I mailed to Booking.com to explain this situation and they just simply replied me the cancellation policy. On Aug. 23, I mailed back and then their response are as follows:

Please note that the booking can be shown in the "my booking list" only when the guest loges in first before making reservations, otherwise, it will not be shown in the list. However, if you do not see your bookings in you list, it doesn't mean it is not in the system. When you made the reservations and clicked the button of "confirmation", the booking then has been made and confirmed by booking.com. A confirmation letter was expected to deliver to your email address. If you do not receive the confirmation letter, you are responsible for contacting us again.

I hope the answers above address your concerns.

And we are also contacting the hotel and seek the permission to waive the penalty for you. And we are currently waiting for the response.

We will get back to you as soon as possible when we receive the reply.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us.

Kind regards,

I thought that means customers can’t trust their system because the records in “my booking” probably NOT ALL of their bookings. Why do they offer this tool and keep telling customers to manage and cancel their bookings via this tool? No response from booking.com on Aug. 24 and then I got a “noshow” letter on Aug. 25. It said that I was noshow at Terrasse des Elephants Hotel & Restaurant and will be charged $260 which is the total price of reservation. I am really worried about they’re going to charge anyway because they got the information of my credit card. I am still waiting for their response. Please beware of their unreliable system.

Booking.com false advertisement of picture of hotel

I booked a hotel with booking.com for my vacation for August 10-17th in waikiki, Hawaii. The pictures on the website on the hotel didn't look nothing like the hotel realy looked like. The website said that the hotel was a 3 1/2 star hotel but that was a lie more like 11/2 maybe a 2 star hotel. The furniture was all old and out of date the hot water in the shower didn't work and the lights didn't want to come on we had to keep turning it then it popped on. The bed spreads was all olded and out of date. We where very unhappy and unsatisfied with the room that we checked out 5 days early then we was going to. This mess up our vacation. Cause this room and hotel was not confortable to us. And to us this was false advertisement and i don't believe that this was right. We wasted $232.00 on this hotel. I will never use this website again for nothing and will not tell anyone esle to use it or the hotel. Cause it doesn't look like what it realy does. I am very very unhappy with this hotel and booking.com. What booking.com need to do is to make sure that the hotel pictures looks like it realy does before they put them on there site.

Booking.com stolen credit card

My credit card number was stolen during hotel booking on booking.com. Then it was charged with some crazy facebook expenses (probably facebook credits). This credit card I never used before on internet as it was a new one - only used on booking.com. What is strange is that this expenses were made on first day of my stay at hotel (no, it was not charged by hotel nor by booking.com). So it seems that one who stole my credit card numbers knew also the time when I was travelling and was difficult for me to check credit card expenses. It was not a large amount of money (30EUR) but when you multiply it by a thousand possible credit cards then it is a lot.

I to had the same experience. I made a reservation with booking.com giving my credit card information for the first time online because my credit card was new too. That was the last time I used my card and three days later. I received a call from my bank that there has been 12 posted transaction online which I never knew about. I had lost about $1, 782.00. Never trust and never make any reservations with booking.com. That business cannot be trusted. I followed-up with my bank and they informed me that they will investigate where the transactions took place. I hope this will bring justice, my money back and not only that, we need to spread the news to others to be careful when giving away their credit card info. now a days, online websites can't be trusted. It's easy for people to hack and get peoples info.

I experienced the same loss from my credit card on Friday the 8th of November 2014. Three different amounts got deducted from my credit card from different sites, and that was much more than the total bookings I made in a matter of seconds on that day.
I immediately cancelled my credit card and all my bookings on booking.com. I explain to them the situation, and they did not even apologized. I am making a fraud case against them, so hopefully I get some response back.

Please do NOT use BOOKING.COM at all.

this organisation booked me into the same hotel twice on the same night in the same room and then refused to accept what they had done! They told me I'd have to pay twice over. Basically you're dealing with a computer and the human factor is missing, so mistakes aren't rectified. It takes ages to get a response to inquiries from a humanWon't be using them again, it certainly wasn't the hotel's fault.

Booking.com responsibility for misinformation

I have toured some countries with the booking.com's hotel reservation on may.
But there happened a serious problem.
When I came back, I received e-mail that noticed no-show payment for 4 hotels.
Suprising with the e-mail, I reviewed the situation.
I remember I cancelled all the hotel that I couldn't to go among the hotel I have booked
There is a 'my booking' page in the booking.com site, and there is a 'all my bookings' list in the 'my booking' page.
At last, I found that there aren't the names of the controversial 4 hotels in the 'all my bookings' list.
So, I couldn't realized that those hotels were booked.
I have thought that the booking.com site is very well-systemed and perfect.
I couldn't imagine that there were omitted hotels among the 'all my bookings' list.

I appealed to the customer service woman of booking.com company.
She explained it's the reason that I have booked without log-in.
I wonder why it expressed 'all my bookings' that are by no means all my bookings.
I was confused with the serious wrong information of booking.com company.
After my appeal, the company changed the 'all my bookings' to 'my bookings' in the site.
But they refused to refund for me.
Please let me know what can I do in this unjust situation.
Thank you.

Dear Sirs, I booked an hotel Le Bains in Brides-Les-Bains (France). Price for double room has been specified as 1484 EUR with striked-out price of 1764 EUR. It was difficult to understand to which room type (size, conditions) is related as not clear from description and cannot be compared with price on Hotel site. All other prices for rooms was 1848 EUR and 1932 EUR without any stiked out prices. When I contacted agent about this price difefrence, he explained that there was a fault and they corrected it. Today I checked prices and found that prices shown as reduced - prices for 2128 EUR and 2226 EUR appeared and STRIKED-OUT. This is really unfair to your clients and show very bad picture about your business. Yours sincerely, Anton

Contact information for your booking [protected] B&B Casa Florinda, First and last time booking with Booking.com I am not happy with your reply or lack of support of Booking.Com via a poor assistant named George, I will be contacting PayPal as well to inform them that throughout the booking procedure the cancellation Policy is hidden away. The Booking was made in good faith late on the 19th May my wife was taken by ambulance to hospital on the 20th May 2018 and is still there, I called the Hotel in between visiting my wife in hospital first thing in the morning of the 21st May 2018 3 days before our check in time to notify the hotel in advance of my wife’s unfortunate unforeseen health situation and were not prepared to refund. The trip included a booking with Expedia in a hotel in France for a day earlier . Expedia immediately refunded the full amount .
I will make this as public as possible because of the hidden way you present the booking fine print and at which point it appears. Your cold attitude of dealing with this matter must not be repeated to others so I will be informing as many people as possible.

Hello people,

I recognize these problems with Booking.com. They are a nightmare.

They have send us invoices with completely wrong company details etc so we refused to pay them ( the tax company will not accept this invoices ) now Booking.com suspended our account, so we are not bookable on booking.com at the moment, until we pay the ( incorrect ) invoices. Loss of income!

Also i have another question for the people with their accommodation on booking.com... did you know that booking.com sometimes checks the validity of credit cards that are provided by guests?

Hi, regarding your question about guest's credit cards - yes. I knew about it when received a booking cancellation and ask guests why they did so. They answered that they did not! After that guests returned with info that Booking.com cancelled their stay because of some problem with their card. Finally, I lost these guests.

I am not trying to have any reviews removed but as a small hostel in Rio De Janeiro, I think it is totally unfair that a guest can leave a review anonymously and not give the establishment an opportunity to reply. This has happened to us on several occasions and although the reviews are anonymous, we know exactly who left them and the reasons that that left them. Any guest can say that a room smells musty or that the bed was uncomfortable or that the breakfast did not meet their standards. We had a guest leave a bad review and the reason was not at all what was stated in the review. She didn't want to buy a R$2 bottle of water and insisted that we give her filtered water, which we do not serve at our hostel. As a spite she left a negative review. Ok fine. We have enough positive reviews to offset the occasional bad ones that we receive. But to be able to post the review anonymously is, in my opinion, cowardly to say the least. And to not allow the establishment to respond is even more cowardly.

Please be informed that:

We will not enter into any further communication with you about this review.
We will not remove or amend the review.
The contract you entered into is with Booking.com BV, subject to Dutch law and Amsterdam courts as exclusive jurisdiction.
If you want the review to be removed, then you require to terminate the agreement, after which the review will be gone forever.

The worst part of booking.com is their review system although their Extranet could do with a few improvements too, e. g. that the hoteliers themselves can adjust all relevant data, especially their so-called opportunities.
But the review system clearly is practically a breach of any business ethics underlying a normal business relationship. Booking.com claims unbiased reviews. Of course, they are not. If you give guests a little extra they are not likely to write a negative review, and many hotels resort to this.
The major point, however, is that guests can write anything they want. Short of the 4 or 5 criteria booking.com has for deleting a review, e. g. accusation of theft, etc., guests can complain about everything whether true or not. They can insult the hotel owner, call him a cheater, dishonorable, or whatever, booking.com will not take the review down
Next worse thing is that booking.com arbitrarily changes guests' reviews. They give guests 4 option to rate a hotel - fair, good, very good, excellent. This is converted into a 10 point system by which a guest's very good turns into a good, e. g. a straight 7.5 (very good) from the guest will show as less than 8.0 (good) on their website. Any attempt to have that changed over 3 years have failed. Their claim is that they tested the system and it has proven to be the best. Basically, what booking.com engages in is unfair and deceptive trade practices which in most jurisdictions in the Western world is illegal and subject to complaints for damages, or at least injunctions to cease and desist. Obviously, no hotel owner has had the gumption to take on booking.com for fear of being shut out of their system. It would be quite easy to take booking.com to court in Holland, their corporate headquarters. Holland has this law on the books and wherever the hotel is located is of no importance as it can sue booking.com in Holland. From what I understand the majority of booking.com's hotel partners are small and medium-sized businesses that don't have the money to file a complaint.
Periodically, booking.com has a research firm do a survey. From insiders I have learned that the most complaints hotels indicate is booking.com's review system. Again, over a number of years nothing has changed. The result most certainly is that hotels will make every effort to become as independent of booking.com, and other large OTAs such as Expedia and Agoda, as possible.

I sent a letter by snail mail to the CEO too. It remained unanswered. Booking.com has more pros than cons but the cons are very weighty and can ruin many potential bookings. It undoubtedly has enormous marketing power. Their main interest is to get guests to book on their website. They don't care which hotel it is; the pricier the better but, on the other hand, they lure guests with discounts that falsely calculated, in other words they are misleading guests. But to be honest, the main beef I have is their review system and I just hope that they will eventually adjust it to reflect a more balanced interest for both the guest and the hotel partner.

Yes, I absolutely agree. My main concern is their review policy too. And you are right that review system is the biggest problems for accommodations. That's why maybe there is any sense to claim to regulators about Booking.com unfair competition? I've already done it in my country and should receive the reply in a 30 days. I'm sure we must act because the situation is affecting our business.
P.S. Recently Booking.com has decided to screw owners again - now you should choose your commission size more than 15% if you want your property is seen more higher in search results. You can even choose to pay 50% commission to Booking.com. It means that since now more you pay than better you rank and your review score is not important any more?

As we all can see Booking.com doesn't care about owners problems - no replies to the latest posts.
From their site: Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.

Hello to all owners who are trying to do business with this company!
I've got the similar problem as many here - defamatory, offensive, untruth review with mark 4.6. The story is very simple: reservation ID: [protected], there was a statement that "You have a booker that prefers communication by email". Not a problem, most of the guests prefer email. I sent them comprehensive information about the flat, phone numbers of our staff and WiFi info, on October 10th, eight days before check-in. They didn't reply to my emails at all. I also tried WhatsApp and Messenger, but with the same result. No reply, but the msg in WhatsApp was shown as read. I sent another several emails, but nothing. Try to call at last. I had to ask Booking.com to help me to contact the guest - nothing again. On October 18th I received a call from unknown (without numbers) number suddenly, the guests was there. They said that they stood near the door and couldn't enter. I helped them to get in. They merely forgot to include this in the review. I kindly advised them to check email. Since that there were no calls, no msgs, nothing. I was sure that everything was fine. But then surprise-surprise:) they left the review:
“4.6
2016-10-21 Reservation number [protected] Your Booking.com reviews page
Yeming, (GB)
Owner of this studio lives in Russia, never could reach him if you have problem!
Location is good
Wifi is not working. There is a Wifi note, but you never could find this Wifi. Owner of this studio is living in Russia, when we want to call him to ask wifi, never answer us, the phone number he gives us is a Russia number, if you have any problem during your stay, it's impossible to find this guy and reach any service. our neighbour booked same size apartment from another owner from airbnb, similar apartment they pay 250 pound for 5 nights, we pay 220 pound for 2 nights, that's shocked us. Castle view is outside, you can't see any castle view when you stay in the apartment.”

I really can't understand such behaviour. I always available by phone, email or messengers. Our experienced staff in Edinburgh are always ready to help as well. Also I was wonder to see "GB" near the name because he is from China actually. After this review my score has fallen to 8.9.
As everyone here I can't receive any help from Booking.com, they said during phone call that they are posting EVERYTHING what guests want to say without any obligation to verify. It is an absurd situation when it is possible to post everything if it is not breach Booking.com rules! Another absurd - there is Defamation Act 2103 in the UK, but Booking.com B.V. doesn't follow it at all. Regarding this Law I sent them Notice of Compliant with request to delete that review. And guess what happened? Right! Nothing! Booking.com thinks that the Law is not about them. Also, they don't know what client oriented approach means:) So I've been living with this review since October 2016. Spiteful joke - this review is automatically chosen as "Reviewer's choice" everyday! As result - many cancellations, just several bookings from countries where English is not native. Also, I don't understand advice from Booking.com review team to leave a reply. Why should I leave a reply to lie? I'd like to post review of these guests instead, so other owners can avoid to host them:)! The most interesting point - they know that the review contains absolutely lie, they confirm it during the call!
I think we can change this only if we gather and send one compliant to Booking.com or Regulatory organization or to the Court with thousand owner's signs. We have to stop such behaviour of the company, it is our business and only we must decide what is good for it! We're paying commission not guests! We must have opportunity to defend our rights and business!
Kind regards,
Dmitriy

Booking.com I am getting really angry with your support towards us business owners...People can walk out without pay and yet you still charge the commission even though I report it, stole from us, give us anonymous bad feedback, that we cannot reply too, false feedback and you say you cannot do anything about it...
Where is OUR RIGHTS as a business owners ?
I see above comments people complaining about the same thing ...
When we complain you don't even reply ...Not a good way to be a business representative I say...
