Oh my goodness this company STINKS Oh my goodness this company STINKS! What on earth has happened to them. When I first started using them approx 10 years ago Hotels.com were great and I always received a fantastic service and I was easily able to speak to a human with any queries. I was unable to get any sensible communication from their automated, idiotic, robot chat bot. So literally as I am tying this, I have been holding on a call to Hotel.com for over an hour and half trying to get compensation for an awful let down. They have cut me off twice and once I got through I have been tossed around from department to department and put on hold and made to listen to some crazy Spanish, guitar manic flamenco music which makes my whole head vibrate. My issue relates to when I recently travelled with my family to a very remote village in Wales and on arrival discovered the hotel we had booked had closed down. There was nowhere else to stay at such short notice so we had only one option and that was to turn around and drive back home through the night (a total of 10 hours driving in one day all stuffed in a mini - not my idea of a relaxing weekend break). I can never trust them again! The terrible after care customer service just adds insult to injury! However, I did finally get compensation so don’t give up if you find yourself in a similar situation. Note to the Hotels.com management - “sort yourselves out and demonstrate better consideration of your customers”

No help with problems Twice at two different hotels I have had problems and Hotels.com never do anything to help. I have found that if I booked direct with the hotel on both occasions I would have been better off and the price would’ve been exactly the same.

price match promise is a scam price match promise is a scam every time its same message although i sent a screenshot of same dates, same room, everything same. there message is. The Hotels.com Price Guarantee program benefit only applies when the lower rate is available for booking when you contact us. Because the alternative quote doesn't show a lower price upon real-time validation, we are unable to process your request. No worries! If you found another lower price on another travel booking site, feel free to submit a claim until hotel's check in time. no one talks to you from price match department

Dissatisfied This is the first time I’ve used this company and definitely the last! I booked a room for a nights stay with my partner. After handing many errors with places I knew were satisfactory and failing to book I managed to book a place I had never heard of. Upon arrival the place was uninhabitable! Not as described and pictures were of a totally different property. I dare say we took our stuff and left for a travel lodge. When contacting customer services that evening they were great and promised to do what they could to give me my money back. Once again how wrong was this statement. They blamed the hotel for this and took absolutely no responsibility at all even though it was them whom I was dealing with. Cowboy company steer well clear.

Inaccurate reservation system I tried to make a reservation but did not receive a confirmation email. When I looked on the website, I also did not find the reservation. So I made an additional reservation. I later discovered they had charged me for both stays. I asked them to refund the stay but they refused, saying the hotel itself would not. It was not the hotels fault, it was the site's fault. I spent hours on the chat bot phone, and email and they will not resolve this.
