I booked a trip August of 2019 through my bank account which they took $400 a month out of paid off January 2020 we were supposed to leave March 19th 2020 and we're not able to get on the plane and go due to this virus we were also trying to find out about our trip for almost a month before hand and could not get a hold of anyone no one would answer our questions we were in the dark we were told there on the plane right before we got on that they were quarantining people so we decided it was not a good idea to go then we found out that BookIt closed its doors and I cannot even get my money back or reschedule a trip I do not want to reschedule the trip especially with them therefore I want my money back we paid over $2, 500 for this trip and I'm not throwing this in the toilet. There has been no one to help our situation. Please help
These people stole our money!
Cancelled trip without refund
Bookit.com is using the Covid 19 situation as a cover up for filing bankruptcy. They have cancelled my trip that was 3 months away and will not refund the $1200 they took from me. They have also stopped any way to communicate with them. No phone, no email. Their phone calls have a recorded message and email is returned as unsendable. This is ridiculous that they are just stealing people's money!
Fraud and stealing money
My son's October 2020 honey moon Vacation was cancelled by Bookit 3/21/20 and they have not given me a refund. I have filled a claim with my credit card. This is not acceptable and I think the CEO should be charged with stealing and fraud. I have had to book this same trip with a reputable agency, I have learned my lesson.
They are scammers
I booked with bookit.com called to confirm my stay and they have not paid the hotel but have taken all of my money out of my account I need something to be done about this because they have closed they company they have consistently taken upon themselves to take each payment and gave customers no notice as to they were shutting down but contacted the hotels and informed them that they were not going to pay them that we had to pay again
Received email notice that my $1400 trip was cancelled. Tried to get into contact with the company and their phones are turned off, only a robo-message playing before disconnecting. I tried emailing customer service and it said my email was blocked. Now I’m left holding the bag, out $1400 without a solution from the company. I’ve contacted my bank and filed a claim for the charges. Hopefully I get refunded. Not fair to the consumer to operate like this.
Didn’t pay our resort in Mexico
Booked through bookit.com for occidental xcaret for march [protected] back in dec. Have papers/email stating we paid in full. Resort wouldn't let us leave without paying again. Shame on bookit!. And was not impressed with hotel - informing me of all of this as we were checking out and shuttle was due to arrive in 15mins. Anybody have a similar situation?... Or any advice on how to navigate this?
Fraud
I booked a trip through them back in December for this upcoming April 4, 2020. I have paid to date $3, 396.11. I still have a payment of $1, 100 however I have been trying to contact them for 4 days now to inquire about travelling to Jamaica due to COVID-19 and the airlines but I can not reach them. I tried to reach them online but I am reading news articles that they have closed their doors which makes sense in why the 3 different phone numbers I have called over the past 4 days are out of service. The numbers I have called are as follows: [protected], [protected], [protected].
Please help.
We paid for the full amount and idk how to get that money back? Do we need to contact our bank. We did not use a credit card. We used debit. I’m worried we won’t get our money back. Have you heard anything else on the situation?
Contact your bank, I did today for my vacation.
Same for me what do we do?
Upon Arrival - BookIt Never Paid for Services or Hotel
We booked a vacation to the Excellence El Carmen through BookIt.com. Total of $4483.10 paid on 1/20/2020. Upon arrival we received notificatio that BookIt never paid for the services. We are now being held responsible for these charges again. BookIt.com has some explaining and where is Bud Finlaw (CEO) in this matter. He should be in prison the thief!
I paid in full via bank transfer for a flight from Cardiff to Abuja- Nigeria.
I paid in full for a flight ticket from Cardiff to Abuja-Nigeria, which is scheduled for the 23rd of March 2020. The flight agent kept complaining that they have not gotten the payment, but my bank confirmed it has reached their account and my account has been debited. I have been trying to reach them via the phone but it keeps going to voice mail. They have stopped responding to my messages. Please I need an urgent intervention I do not want to be stranded.
airfare credit
Had to cancel trip to Playa Del Carmen in 2019 due to illness, and not being able to travel alone. Was given a travel credit that was doubled along with airline penalties when trying to use. Making it unaffordable for me to use, due to living on fixed income. No attempt to accommodate whatsoever, or refund! This company should be resolved, due to lies and greed
service
On February 5th, I attempted twice to purchase a vacation through Bookit, which would be my 6 or 7th vacation. No complaints up until last night. When I made my initial purchase the plane tickets did not attach and the second time again the plane tickets did not attach. Each time the option was to purchase separately or to cancel and repurchase. I spent $400 which would hold up my funds for up to days but it will be returned. I am disappointed in this process and I wish there was another option. Or to not offer a combination that can not be purchased together. This is disheartening.
airline booking
on our recent Titeinerary #[protected]
Gooking lists 3 Adults and 1 Child. Booking was a package deal. Everything paid for. When we arrived at the airport, we were greated with there being no booking for the infant. We had to deal with a rude United employee who charged us an unexpected $135 for the infant who is an on Lap held child.. This was unexpected and dipped into our vacation money we had brought. When somone purchases a "all inclusive package" from your company, there should be no suprises. This caused upset people prior to leave and an argument between us and the ticket agent, while all your company would do was nothing. We are talking about future trips with our friends and will keep this incident in mind.
The company that did the transfers to/from the airport snick in an additional $5 charge for using the toll road to get us to the hotel "faster". Funny, our friends took anotherr service, used the toll road and got drinks on the way at no additional fee. sounds petty, but.

bookit provide inaccurate information and did not help with getting refund
A couple of things:
- Services were charged and not provided ( hotel to airport shuttle never showed up)
- Hotel booking was misleading ( construction ) and then it refused to refund.
- You need to wait for over an hour to get customer service and if you are overseas there is no number to call unless you are willing to pay extra charges for an international call with excurbitant amounts.
Overall this is not a website which you would want to use for your bookings
timeshare
My first day at this place we did the 90 min. meeting wiich turned into a 4 hour headache, we lost a half day of our paid vacation to a bunch of money grabbing jerks.
Then diner, well the waiter comes around and asked if we wanted the special and I asked what it was, surf and turf sounded good until i was advised it would cost 34 dollars, what the hell did I pay for an all inclusive for...
While I was checking out The desk clerk stated the I owned 4 more dollars on a massage that I already paid infull .scam #2
This was my first vacation in 8 years and if your company sends me to money grabbing places, I will never use Bookit again. My friends will also find out also.
Also, getting the run around when you need something done, stand in line and wait.

flight cancel didn't get notice
we had book a return flight from PVR on Oct-19-2019 to DFW flight number was 1215 American Airline. The flight got cancel because the PVR flight was in the air when the DFW flight took off to Minneapolis MN were we were to land. We check our flight info two days before heading to the airport to take our trip to PVR. WE notice the flight info that was clear on our paper work that know way we could have taking the flight into Minneapolis while we were stay in the air from PVR. We call the American Airline they said they call you guys Bookit so you could let us know about the change. We didn't hear anything from you . American Airline said the only thing they could do was rebook us on a earlier flight which was on the 10-18-2019, everything else coming back into the states were booked. We had to take that flight.
we paid you guys for a 7 day vacation but since we had to leave out a whole day and a half we lost out on $210. We did call you guys (bookit) about this issues you Guys put the blame on the Airline saying they should have call us. The American Airline was correct Bookit should have call or text or mail or something about a change since we prepaid everything with Bookit. we both would like a free room or our money back for the room for that day an half. Carol Olson Darlene Williams # [protected] [protected]@comcast.net. Again we a requesting a refund or room comp our choice to resolve this issue.
package vacation flight and hotel
My flight information shows different than my travel dates. The incorrect dates show that i would have flown in May 2019. I have called about 7 times and no one has been able to help me. I have submitted 2 tickets to the flight dept to call me and help me and they have never called. I have paid thousands already for my trip booking ID [protected]. I'm shocked at the lack of customer support and service. Please help

I waited patiently to have someone call me or email me I received nothing. I sent in the proper documents and my flights were canceled and refunded by United why are y'all holding my money. Please contact me at Sahara.[protected]@gmail.com
They will NOT call you back, I have been promised (by several people) a call back from them for a month and a half! Even made 2 appts and yep they missed those too! But now because they waited this long what would of cost me $120 to Change my flight is going to cost over $1000 because THEY couldn't keep a promise. And they pretty much said yeah we know we lied but that's your problem. Will never use them again!
flight and resort requests
Just returned back from Barbados, and will NEVER use BOOKIit.com again. To start a few months prior our return flight was changed. We had to spend the night in Charlotte, arrived around 9pm, got to the hotel and had to return back to the airport by 5am, no VOUCHER! We purchased the taxi service for pick-up and drop-off to and from the airport in Barbados. It took us over 30 minutes to find someone to help us when we arrived. They made a call and within minutes a dingy taxi without air condition picked us up. We arrived to Sugar Bay, NOTHING was noted, as requested in my original request, about my husband having a hip replacement and requesting the 1st floor. Our room was assigned for the 3rd floor. On 6/3 I sent a request to make note about our birthday and anniversaries to celebrate, AGAIN, NOTHING was noted for the resort. The resort mentioned that someone from St James (for BOOKIT) should have followed up with us within 2 days of our stay, AGAIN, NOTHING. Luckily we did get a notice 2 days before hand with instructions for pick-up. BookIt, seems to be VERY unorganized and CLEARLY doesn't care about customer service. Rachel Barnes
flights
Booked a trip on line - made a mistake and added my last name as my fiancé's itinerary . Called and asked if they could change; they sent me to Flights, Flights said I needed Reservations, then they sent me to Reservations, then told me to call United. Called United and United told me to call Book it.com because they are the only ones who can change. Book it.com said United was the issue - but in fact that was a lie, it was Book it.com the whole time. Made 9 calls in two days...They are thieves; made me buy a whole new ticket that cost me $880.00 dollars. I have gone through them once before, but NEVER AGAIN. Their customer service is awful, asked to speak to a manager several times was told "no, or no one is there to help me". They intentionally run you around and will never help you make the appropriate changes. Crooks and liars. WORST COMPANY EVER!
Yep...sounds like what I'm going through with them!.
bookit website
Do not book on this site. If at all you need to book with them, call and speak to an agent. We booked a trip in December for February. The website quoted one price and halfway through booking, I received a message stating that the airfare price had changed adding $200 to the price and to confirm if I still wanted to book. After some back and forth we decided to book for the following week, which saved us a significant amount of money. I proceeded to cancel the reservation in progress and book for the following week. Shortly after booking the new trip, I received not 1 but 2 confirmations for both trips! I immediately called bookit and explained to them what happened. The agent I spoke to canceled my flight (since we were still in the 24 hour window) and told me she was going to email the hotel about the situation. The hotel has a non refundable cancellation policy but she assured me we would get this straightened out since this technically was not my fault. Well guess what, 4 calls later and I still can't get my money back because they are stating the hotel has the money. Bookit is refusing to give me a refund for a mistake their website made. I understand the hotel has policies but this isn't my fault nor the fault of the hotel. This has left an extremely bad taste in my mouth. Due to this experience with them the other 2 couples we are going with that were going to book on their website went ahead and booked on another site. That is 6 customers lost.
