      I booked a three day stay thru Expedia for $444 dollars. Traveled across country and the hot tub in the room had mold on the bottom. I have respiratory issues and couldn't stay in the room. Literally my chest felt like someone was standing on it smh. Expedia refused to refund me after sending 3 pictures of the mold to 4 different people and speaking with 6 agents and 3 supervisors. They told me that since the mold wasn't located in a shower head they wouldn't give me different accommodations and I slept in my rental car which they were well aware of. The managers consistently lied about giving me credits to get a room and they started just dropping my calls. If you have any issues with you trip you cannot in any aspect depend on Expedia.

      RE:  Expedia Case # ******** // BBB Case ********

      Dear Better Business Bureau,

      Thank you for taking the time to contact Expedia regarding an issue from our customer. We appreciate the ***************************************************** us time to address the comments and concerns brought to our attention.

      Expedia is responding to the consumer complaint from Mr.***** ***** (BBB case number ********) regarding a hotel booking.

      Our records indicate that travelers booked a shuttle transfer in ****** with Pickup from airport on March 31 and drop off to the airport on April 09, 2025, under the itinerary number **************. We understand that Mr. ***** is looking for a refund and compensation for the unutilized service.

      After a thorough review, we found that the booking is non-refundable if canceled within 24 hours or beyond that timeframe. Despite our best efforts to obtain a waiver for Mr. ***** from our partner, we were unable to secure a favorable outcome.

      However, as an exception, we have processed a refund of CAD ***************************************************** 8511. The refund should be reflected in the account within 710 business days. Additionally, as a gesture of goodwill, we have credited ***** Expedia Rewards points worth CAD50 to Mr.****** account.

      Terms & Conditions: *********************************************************

      We are sorry for the experience and truly hope this situation does not affect Mr. ****** relationship with Expedia. We have also shared a feedback within the team to prevent similar issues in future.

      We thank you for allowing us the opportunity to address the issues brought to our attention. If you have any further questions or concerns regarding this matter, please feel free to contact us.

      I am filing this complaint regarding a travel issue I experienced with Expedia on April 26, 2025, due to technical problems on their website that resulted in an incorrect booking and a financial loss of $351.40.Timeline of Events:April 26, 2025: I booked a vacation package through Expedia (Booking #**************), which included round-trip flights and hotel accommodations for a trip with my child to celebrate their 18th birthday.During the booking process, Expedias website experienced multiple glitches pages failed to load properly, and I encountered repeated pop-up errors. Despite these issues, I proceeded with the purchase.After receiving the confirmation email, I noticed that the return flight had been booked for May 29, 2025, rather than midnight on May 30, 2025, which was the date I intended and had selected during the booking process.I contacted Expedia within an hour of noticing the error and spoke to several agents to explain that the mistake appeared to be due to a system glitch.Every agent informed me that the only option was to cancel and rebook, but that the refund from the original booking could take up to five business ******* a single mother traveling with a limited budget, I could not risk a price increase or being left without confirmed travel. I emphasized this concern during my calls but was told there were no exceptions or expedited solutions ************ avoid further complications, I proceeded to rebook the return flight independently with Expedia assistance (Booking #**************), resulting in an additional out-of-pocket expense of $351.40.I made several attempts to escalate the issue over the next few days but received no resolution or acknowledgment of Expedias website malfunction contributing to the problem.Res Reqt:I am requesting a full reimbursement of the $351.40 I had to pay to correct the return flight which was incurred solely because of sites technical errors during the booking process

      Dear Better Business Bureau,

      Thank you for taking the time to contact Expedia regarding an issue from our customer. We appreciate the ***************************************************** us time to address the comments and concerns brought to our attention.

      Expedia is responding to the consumer complaint from Ms. **** ****** (BBB case number ********) regarding the package booking including hotel and flight booking under itinerary number 73090979942640.

      Our records indicate that the booking was made on April 26, 2025, and it was confirmed according to the selections made at the time of booking.

      Within 24 hours of the booking, Ms. ****** contacted our frontline team to request an extension of the stay. Upon receiving this request, we informed her that the hotel reservation was made under a non-refundable and non-changeable policy, and therefore, no modifications could be made to the hotel portion of the booking.

      Regarding the flight, we advised her to cancel and rebook, as it was still within the courtesy cancellation window. We also provided the applicable change fees for modifying the return date. However,since we did not receive confirmation to proceed, no changes were made, and the original booking remained as it was.

      A new booking was later made for the extended dates at her convenience. We regret to inform you that, as a travel agency, we are unable to offer a refund or compensation in this situation.

      For future bookings, we strongly recommend reviewing the booking summary carefully prior to confirmation to avoid such issues.

      We thank you for allowing us the opportunity to address the issues brought to our attention. If you have any further questions or concerns regarding this matter, please feel free to contact us.

      Complaint: 23292323

      Thank you for allowing me to respond to Expedias message.


      I respectfully reject their response, as it contains inaccuracies and does not address the real issue I raised in my complaint.


      To clarify: I did not request an extension to the hotel stay that was never the concern. My issue was solely with the flight portion of the booking. I contacted Expedia within 24 hours, clearly requesting assistance with adjusting the return flight date only, which I reiterated multiple times during my calls.


      Despite contacting your team repeatedly within the allowed timeframe, I encountered a technical glitch that prevented me from making changes online, and none of the agents I spoke to were able to assist me in resolving the issue despite several requests to speak to a manager. I made every reasonable effort to adjust the flight, but due to the lack of support and unresolved system errors, I was left with no choice but to rebook another flight out of pocket.


      I believe Expedia failed to provide adequate customer service and technical support during the critical timeframe, which directly led to my additional expense. I am requesting a refund or credit for the unused flight portion of the original booking, or some form of compensation to acknowledge the inconvenience caused by Expedias failure to assist.


      Thank you for your continued attention to this matter.

      I booked a hotel in ******** (*****************************) for the night of April 27th. I got a confirmation of the stay a few days before. When I arrived to check in, I was informed the booking had been cancelled. It was not possible to tell who cancelled the booking. The hotel front desk told me to go to a nearby hotel that was available. I agreed as I had no other options. I paid 40 euros for this stay. The second hotel was dirty and smelled of smoke. After getting home I inquired with Expedia and was told the first hotel had cancelled the booking. I suspected they did this maliciously in order to funnel people to the second, lower quality hotel. I asked Expedia for compensation for my terrible experience but Expedia refused. I feel that since I booked through Expedia, they bear some responsibility for this incident and for working with a dishonest hotel.

      Dear Better Business Bureau,  
      Thank you for forwarding the consumer rebuttal from Mr. ******* ***** (BBB case number 23235115).  We regret to hear Mr. ***** did not accept our response and/or resolution offered. 

      We have reviewed Mr. ****** case again. According to him, he booked a package that included both a flight and hotel under itinerary **************. Due to a schedule change, the flight was cancelled, and a full refund of CA$2,847.34 was processed on April 5, 2025.Additionally, a refund of $565.80 for the hotel portion was processed by one of our associates on April 18, 2025, to the original form of payment (MasterCard ending in 8626). Please note that refunds typically take 7 to 10 business days from the date of processing to reflect on the account.

      It is important to note that itinerary ************** was booked for travel from ******* to ******, with a 4-night hotel stay scheduled from May 13 to May 17, 2025. However, the questioned hotel, **********, located in **********, ************* is approximately ******* km away from the intended destination, confirming it was not part of the original package.

      As previously mentioned, a full refund for itinerary ************** has already been processed due to the flight cancellation. Unfortunately, we are unable to issue a refund for itinerary **************,as the hotel has opted to enforce its original cancellation policy. According to the policy: The room type and rate selected are non-refundable. Should you change or cancel this reservation for any reason, your payment will not be refunded.

      We thank you for allowing us to address this matter further. If you have any further questions or concerns regarding this matter, please feel free to contact us.

      Disputing the combination of $353.29 CAD plus undisclosed additional charges of $981 USD required by/paid to ******* on my partner's (****** ******') credit card ($1,765.67 CAD total with exchange at time of purchase). The amount of $1,765.67 does not include addtional charges by credit card for foreign currency. The $353.29 CAD pricing advertised on Expedia was misleading and deprived me of the ability to make accurate comparisons with competitiors - 'additional fees' charged by rental company well exceeded the quoted price. Additionally, the invoicing on the original reservation was contradictory (said that it would not be charged, then was charged and noted that only $45 was owing). I tried to resolve the issue with Expedia while in ********** without success. The reservation had a 24 hour cancellation requirement, so we were told we would not get our money back when we were told of the additional charges by *******. One employee from Expedia indicated via email that we had been over charged, then the remaining service agents denied that we were overcharged. Would like a fair resolution with refund, apology, and changes to Expedia's posted prices which reflect the true cost of goods.

      Expedia is responding to the consumer complaint from Ms. ****** ******** (BBB case number ********) regarding the hotel reservation. We understand Ms. ******** is requesting to refund of the booking.

      Our records show that Ms. ******** booked a prepaid car rental from East of the Airport, ***********, with both pickup and drop-off scheduled at the same location, from January 21, 2025, to February 2, 2025, under the itinerary # **************.

      Upon reviewing the booking, it was confirmed that no insurance was purchased at the time of reservation, and the insurance charges were applied to Ms. ******** at the time of vehicle pick-up. The details regarding the mandatory insurance and required deposit were clearly outlined and shared with Ms. ******** during the booking process.

      For further clarification on these charges, we kindly request Ms. ******** to review the confirmation email received at the time of booking, which contains comprehensive information about the applicable local insurance, deposit requirements, and any additional local taxes or fees collected by the rental company at the counter.

      Complaint: 23227473

      I am rejecting this response because:

      Per my previous attachments, the amount owing on the expedia invoice was shown as $45. In no way was it indicated anywhere in the booking information that additional fees would amount to 4x the value already paid to expedia. 

      The discrepancy in advertised versus actual cost is misleading and unreasonable. There have been similar complaints against this business made in ****** and on web forums regarding deliberate misrepresentation of the total cost to the consumer.

      RE: Expedia.ca Case # ********

      Dear Better Business Bureau,

      Thank you for taking the time to contact Expedia.ca regarding an issue from our customer. We appreciate the ********************************************* allowing us time to address the comments and concerns brought to our attention.

      Expedia.ca is responding to the consumer complaint from Mr. ******* ***** ******** regarding the refund of the hotel resevation which needs to be cancelled and refunded because of the airline schedule change.

      Our records indicate that Mr. ***** had a reservation with us under the itinerary number ************** from 13th to 17th of May 2025. We understand Mr. ***** is requesting for a refund for this reservation.

       After a comprehensive review of Mr. ****** case, we reached out to the property to request a waiver for the original booking. Unfortunately, the property declined the request and was unable to authorize a refund due to their stated cancellation and refund policies.

      Upon further evaluation, we confirmed that the flight associated with the reservation was impacted by an airline schedule change. We would like to clarify that airline schedule changes are managed solely by the airline and are outside of Expedias control. As a travel agency, we depend on the updates and information provided by the airline, and while we do our best to support our travelers in such situations, any changes or cancellations to flight schedules are ultimately at the discretion of the airline.

      Additionally, the hotel reservation was made under a non-refundable and non-changeable rate plan. Despite this, we understand the hassle Mr. ***** experienced, and as a gesture of goodwill, we are issuing a one-time exception and have processed a full refund of CAD $565.80 for the property stay.The refund has been issued to ********************* ending in 8626 and should appear in the account within 710 business days, depending on the banks processing time.

      We appreciate Mr. ******* understanding and continued loyalty. Please be advised that this exception is being made on a one-time basis. For future bookings, we strongly recommend reviewing the fare and cancellation policies carefully before confirming travel plans, to ensure they align with flexibility needs..

      We thank you for allowing us the opportunity to address the issues brought to our attention. If you have any further questions or concerns regarding this matter, please feel free to contact us.

      Sincerely,

      Expedia is responding to the consumer complaint from Ms. ******** **** (BBB case number ********) regarding the hotel reservation.

      We understand Ms. **** is seeking refund of the cancellation penalty charged for the Travelodge by ******* ****** hotel reservation booked under itinerary 73007551767441. 

      Upon receiving this request,we contacted Travelodge by ******* ****** on behalf of Ms. **** for the refund and got the information that the hotel cancelled the reservation without any charges.

      In case Ms. **** still see the cancellation penalty charged to her account, we request her to share a screenshot of the charge. This will help us reach out to the hotel for further clarification.

      Considering the experience, we have added ***** reward points to your Expedia.ca account, which can be used in the future while booking with us. Further terms and conditions can be found within the account or by referring to the following link:
