      Subject: Lap infant included during booking, but removed from itinerary after payment – Priceline misleading practice

      I recently booked a flight through Priceline.com for two adults and one lap infant from ****** (*****) to ***** ****** (********) on *******. During the booking process, Priceline’s system included a clear dropdown option to add a lap infant, and I selected it. The system then displayed a total fare that included the infant, and I proceeded to make the payment based on that quote.

      However, once the booking was confirmed, the itinerary only listed two adults, and there was no mention of the lap infant. I contacted Priceline support immediately. They are now demanding an additional $68 USD to add the infant, despite the fact that the infant was included at the time of booking.

      This is deceptive. The platform presented a confirmed fare with infant included, but after payment, removed the infant and is now trying to charge extra for what was already agreed. This creates undue stress and violates consumer trust—especially for international travel with a child.

      I am requesting that the U.S. Department of Transportation investigate Priceline for misleading and unfair booking practices, and that Priceline be required to honor the fare originally displayed during booking without demanding additional payment for the infant. I have screenshots of the booking process as proof.

      Issue description:
      I booked and paid for a 4star resort from Priceline. The booking was for a 4 star resort, that included a day Spa, sauna, steam room, hot tub, and a commercial gym. The room was supposed to be a king size bed, with a balcony, and full sized kitchen. This was in *******, *************. Idrove a total of 6 hours there/ back. I even called to verify my accommodations with Priceline and they assured me of my booking and accommodations were guaranteed and accurate. When I arrived at the hotel ********** ***** ******** ** this was not a 4 star hotel a 2.5 at best. The room and nothing that was guaranteed, no kitchen, no balcony. Talking to the hotel staff, the hotel had no: Day Spa, steam room, sauna, commercial size gym, balconies, no kitchen in room, no suites, no elevators, except service elevators located at the complete end of several vast hallways. There was no room service and the pool was not accessible. I have all of this documented from Priceline and the hotel. This is clearly a bait and switch operation and I would like a full refund.

      Date of Transaction: 06/23/2025
      Amount Paid: $188.00
      Business Name: Priceline.com / ******* *** ********** (Booked through Priceline)
      What the Business Committed to Provide:
      Priceline, through its platform, committed to provide a clean, safe, and sanitary hotel room at the ******* *** in **********. As a Priceline Gold Member, I also expected elevated customer support in case of any issues.
      Nature of the Dispute:
      Upon entering the room on June 23, 2025, I discovered a live cockroach crawling in the bathtub (See pics), creating a serious health hazard. I immediately reported the issue to the front desk and requested a different room. The hotel refused to move me, and instead called the police on me for raising the complaint. I was forced to leave the premises and secure lodging elsewhere at my own cost.
      I contacted Priceline expecting they would advocate for their customer and issue a refund. However, they refused to refund the $188 or offer any solution, despite being presented with photos evidence of the health violation.
      Did the Business Try to Resolve the Problem?
      No. Priceline offered no refund, no compensation, and made no enough effort to mediate with the hotel. They provided only generic replies the hotel provided them with and ignored my requests for escalation. The hotel itself refused to take corrective action and escalated the situation by involving law enforcement instead of addressing a legitimate concern.
      Desired Resolution:
      A full refund of $188
      A formal apology from Priceline for failing to protect its customer from unsanitary conditions and mistreatment.

      Dear ***** ********

      We are writing in response to your Better Business complaint.

      We understand you requested a refund for your reservation due to quality issues during your stay. Upon review, our records show we called the property on June 25, 2025, and spoke with the manager, who explained that their front desk offered you a different room, but you declined to swtich rooms and disagreed with the other options they offered. The manager added that they called a police on you for yelling, threatening, cursing and calling the front desk names. Dur to this, we did not obtain approval to process a refund. Regrettably, your reservation remains non-refundable.

      Thank you for your time.

      Warning: Do NOT Use Priceline

      I’m writing this as a serious warning to anyone considering using Priceline. Over two months ago, I booked a flight through them. When the airline (******) canceled the flight, ****** issued a refund — to Priceline. However, Priceline has refused to return my money.

      Despite multiple attempts to resolve this and even initiating a chargeback through my credit card, Priceline fought the dispute and I still haven’t received a single dollar. They’ve had my money for over two months — money that was refunded to them by the airline. At this point, it feels like outright theft.

      This company does not stand by its customers and offers zero accountability. I strongly advise against using Priceline for any travel booking. If something goes wrong, you’ll be on your own — and out of pocket

      I am working with my credit card company to appeal the denied chargeback right now. This is all a mess.

      Dear ****** *******,

      We are writing in reference to your reservations with ****** ******** under Trip Number ********517. We have received your correspondence submitted through the Better Business Bureau.

      We understand that you are waiting for your refund from ****** ********. We were notified on June 3, 2025, that you initiated a dispute of this transaction with your financial institution. As a result, a chargeback process has commenced between your bank and Priceline. Please note that during this process, all communications regarding the case must be directed to your bank.

      We are only able to proceed with a further review once the chargeback has been fully resolved. To that end, we kindly request that you provide us with the official decision letter from your bank once it becomes available.

      On june 7th I accidentally booked a room through Priceline. It had the wrong date. As soon as I saw the confirmation I called the hotel to change the date. They did not have availability but did say they would cancel the reservation and grant a refund. The told me to call Priceline and they would confirm the cancellation. I called Priceline they said they would have to contact *********** to cancel. They attempted to do so but *********** did not respond. They said they would follow up with 3 days. I called again on 6/13 there had been no follow up. That day the representative called the hotel confirmed the cancellation and also stated she confirmed an email was sent. She again said *********** had to approve but she said everything that was needed had been done and to give it three days. There has been no response and no refund. I would like a refund the hotel agreed to cancel. I paid Priceline but they continue to say that *********** is responsible.

      Priceline booked us for a room 8 hours away from home for our vacation, but the room they "booked" doesn't exist and they are refusing to refund us so we can get another hotel with that money. It is late and my kids are tired and ready for bed and there are no hotels available in this area. I tried for half an hour to get a refund so I can attempt to afford the more expensive hotels because they are the only ones that have vacancy and they refuse to fix the issue. My husband is still attempting to find us a place to sleep tonight so I can't get the exact dollar amount nor can I get the order number. But we were booked for ****** **** ******** ** ******* for a double queen room for tonight 6-21-2025

      The company FINALLY gave us a refund after fighting them for hours. They eventually got back with us around 10:30 pm and said they would not refund us but would find us a different hotel. We had to argue with them because at that point, because it was nearly 3 hours after the incident, we had already found a hotel 30 miles away without their help. They finally, after a long argument and after I told them I reported them, gave us our refund. 

      i would like my issue with the company to be shared with the public via ****** or their company website so others are aware of their scams.

    When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

    BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.

    As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
