  On Thursday May 1st, we booked a reservation for a hotel room at the **********************. We believed we were booking directly with Westin as it deceptively marketed that way in ****** search. We needed to cancel the reservation. I immediately called to cancel where we were told it was a third party company and the rate of over $588 was nonrefundable. I located the direct number for the ********************** and spoke to their reservation team who said they were unable to do anything as it was not booked through them. They suggested I might be able to speak to their accounting team which I called and emailed with a request for help. On May 6th I heard back from the Westin claiming they were unable to assist. This practice of Guest Reservations and the Westin is very deceptive and exorbitant.

  On 4/30/2025 around 6:30PM I was looking up a hotel for the weekend. I thought I was on the hotels direct site. The courtyard Marriott in ****** WI. I was trying to book a hotel for this Saturday, 5/3/2025. Whole booking the website froze and I had to start over. Somehow I missed that the date switched to 4/30/2025 for a check in day and a departure of 5/1/2025. I found this out once I made the payment. I immediately saw that it was booked for the same day I was making the transaction even though I was not going to be in ****** until the weekend. I immediately called every number I could find for *************** and consistently was put on hold and unable to talk to anyone to explain what happened and that I made a mistake of booking the wrong date. I called a minimum of a dozen times from 6:30PM to 11PM and not one time did I get through to someone to explain the situation. Over an hour after making the booking mistake I finally got a confirmation email at 7:42PM. That allowed me to at least know who I had been scammed by, ***************. I was then able to go on and find a spot where I could email customer service and advise the issue I experienced. I got a response from ******************* that all purchases are final and I could not cancel the hotel. First I honestly thought I was on the ******** website. Second, I had the right dates in there and then when the website didnt take my credit card I had to start over and the reservation dates went to that day, April 30th. Booked a hotel at 6:30 PM for that night. Obviously was not my intention. I called the hotel and they said they couldnt help me because it was a 3rd party. This cannot be legal. I immediately tried to cancel from the moment I got confirmation that the check in date was wrong and have gotten no where. They are going to charge me over $330 for a simple mistake that I tried fixing immediately after getting confirmation. I want my money back as this is a crime.

  I made this reservation online for my husbands birthday and when we arrived at the hotel, we discovered the internet did not work, the cable TV was down, the mini-fridge was out of order, and there was not hot water in the bathroom. We proceeded to go downstairs and tell the front desk clerk who was very apologetic and stated she would email her manager and request a refund for our stay. We called you and the *** said to write this letter. We spoke with the manager first thing in the morning of the 2nd day and told her we would not be staying a 2nd night, and she was professional, apologetic, and courteous, and said she would refund our full amount, and request you, the booking agency to do the same as they were experiencing issues.

  On January 26th, I was searching for overnight hotel accommodations near ***************** in ******* and found an offer on reservations.com. I began the process to make a reservation and got up to the final security check, but noticed that the website was adding a $40 service fee to my $100 hotel cost. When I saw the service fee, I decided I did not want to proceed with the booking. However, the website proceeded to confirm the reservation and charge my card without my authorization. I had clicked the button to proceed to the final security step but rather than bring me to that last verification, the website proceeded to a confirmation screen, with the security verification still in the process below. I immediately took a screenshot of the web page and contacted reservations.com to inform them of the error and request a refund. I received an automated email in response, informing me that my reservation type was non-refundable. I replied to the email reiterating the issue that I have encountered in my request for a refund. However, I received the same stock answer and no response addressing the main issue, which was the technical glitch that caused the website to proceed with booking without the final security verification. When it became clear that I could not get a human response from the website, I filed a dispute with my credit card company. However, reservations.com claimed they had a valid reservation under my name, thus my credit card company was unable to reverse the charge. I tried once more to contact reservations.com using a phone number I found. When I called, the person who answered rudely told me that I was speaking to the wrong department and needed to try a different number. I took down that number and called multiple times but never got through the automated answering message. I finally emailed through the website and received the same response as prior, not answering the central question about a technical glitch in the site.

  We have reviewed this reservation and have confirmed that this booking has been booked online by mobile device and the cancellation policy information is expressed during the time of booking a room. This is agreed upon by the customer during the time of confirmation. All charges are displayed on the main screen page on your mobile device of the ********************** website page and again agreed upon by the customer during the time of confirmation.

  We have reached out to the hotel directly and were notified that they have marked the reservation as a "No-Show" and were fully charging Reservations.com for the reservation. Please note, the hotel has confirmed that they will stand by the cancellation policy that was agreed upon during the time of booking.

  As a courtesy for the inconvenience, Reservations.com has offered the customer a full refund via ******. Please be advised, this will be a refund on behalf of **************** and not the hotel.

  We have emailed the customer regarding this information, and ask the customer to respond to the email directly so that we may further proceed with a refund.

  We have attempted to locate a booking using all the information provided by the guest.  Itinerary number H11025914 is not a booking number associated with Reservations.com   That booking number seems to be made with another company named HotelPlanner.  We would recommend contacting them at **************.  We would ask that this record by removed from our account since the booking was not made using our services.

  I was attempting to book a hotel stay at **************** in ********* *****. When booking I thought I was booking through the hotel and then the screen changed?? I was quoted a room for $329, plus tax, added my credit card and was immediately charged $531.69. There was never a screen with tazes, and booking charges as normally occurs. When I called the customer service line in the confirmation email, it was not for Reservations.com rather another booking site. This booking site gave me the correct number for Reservations.com. I called and spoke with a customer service *** and manager, explaining that my card was charged prior to me getting a total for the cost or I would not have hit submit. I asked for cancellation and refund and was told it was non-refundable. I am working with my credit card company to dispute the charges. The date of this transition is today 4/16/25. This company is a total scam. I am hoping this can be looked into.

  While booking a hotel reservation with a company directly, I "somehow" ended up booking on *************** instead. It was for 200 more than what I was quoted for a 1 night reservation. I immediately called to cancel and reached a recording saying I could not cancel until we were 7 days to the event. Called our credit card company to let them know we did not want the charge to go through and we not only were cancelling but finished booking correctly. Upon calling closer to event to cancel, *************** already had cancelled the reservation. I assumed through ** dispute. They did not mention any inability to credit. I then received a notice from ********** that reservations.com has a no refund policy and charges are considered valid. I let them know this was fraud from the start. They suggested I try to resolve with Reservations.com. When I called them, they referred me to a different number which requested my itinerary number and when I gave it to them, they hung up on me. They make it so easy to book, you dont even have to do it intentionally but they dont want to let you cancel easily or refund overcharges. Absolute scam of a company and should not be allowed to price ***** for the zero service provided.

  Business Response

  Date: 04/16/2025

  Please note, all dispute/chargebacks can take up to ***** business days to resolve by both parties' financial institutions and any corresponding appeals.

  I had gone to Cleveland Clinics website since my husband and I were traveling out of state to see his heart surgeon for a doctors appointment. I clicked on lodging and then the Holdiay Inn ******** Clinic. At the top there was a phone number I called. When the agent answered they said the Holdiay Inn at *********************** and I truly believed I was speaking to someone of the hotel. I was quoted and amount for the two day stay. The total seemed crazy high so I then asked what was the daily rate. Not once did they tell me about a protection service that they were automatically charging. I told them we were traveling in 5 days so I didnt need that. My credit card was charged automatically. I saw that I had over 200 dollars in taxes and recovery fees with no itemization. I called back within minutes and told them I was taken advantage of and I felt this was poor business practices. The woman I spoke to could not tell me the name of her business. I finally got hotel reservations and no address. I was told she was canceling it and I have not had any communication that this charge of over 500 will come off my credit card. I am extremely frustrated and this business is making money off of people in unfair ways. Are they related to hotel planner? I was hung up on several times and I spent my Saturday evening on the phone for three hours trying to get reimbursement for something I canceled instantly once I saw the email with no itemization of the crazy fees. I cant believe Im being charged and I havent even left. I thought it was just for the hotel to have and you pay when you leave.

  Their website made it appear that I was booking direct with the hotel (***********) so I was surprised to learn later when charges appeared on my credit card that I was on reservations.com. The actual *********** charge was $118.89 and reservations. com charged $158.19 plus an additional fee of $35.39 for a total of $193.58 - that's $74.69 (63%) more than what I expected! I was not made aware of the additional service fee charges in order to make a reservation through the site; id I was made aware I would not have completed the transaction. When I called their customer service they claimed an email was sent to me confirming the reservation - I did not receive such an email. When I requested the customer service *** forward the confirmation email she said she couldn't find it. How convenient - had I received an email from reservations.com I would have known that I hadn't connected directly to *********** and would have immediately cancelled the *************** transaction. This company's business practices are purposely deceiving and outrageously expensive.

  Business Response

  Date: 04/07/2025

  We have contacted the ********************** and have confirmed with ***** at the Front Desk that the reservation was fully utilized, and has denied our request for a refund of the room and tax. Please note, the hotel will stand by the cancellation policy that was agreed upon by the customer during the time of booking.
  

  We have confirmed that the reservation was booked by a desktop computer. Please note, all information including the cancellation policy along with all charge information was expressed during the time of booking and agreed upon by the customer upon confirmation.
  
  As a courtesy for the inconvenience you have experienced, Reservations.com has issued a refund for the Service fee. Please note, all refunds can take up to 7-10 business days to reflect back onto the card used during the time of booking. We advise contacting your financial institution with questions regarding processing and follow up.

  Again, we have denied a refund for the room and taxes, as all information was expressed during the time of booking, and agreed upon by the customer. We have confirmed that the reservation was fully utilized and have refunded only the service fee as a courtesy.

  At this time, no further refunds will be issued on behalf of Reservations.com.
