    The agent provided incorrect information on several occasions regarding fees and pricing. I was also informed that the hotel was not accepting walk-in reservations and that payment could not be made directly at the hotel. I contacted the company to report the issue, but my concerns were not properly addressed or resolved. The experience was frustrating due to the lack of accurate information and effective customer support.

    Booked a family vacation through Priceline. Had no complaints with the airline and the rental car company but the hotel (Days Inn Wyndham in Florida City) was horrible. We checked in late night, We were first given a room where bath tub was dirty (dirty is an understatement. Looks like it was never cleaned after the previous guest vacated !!!). Called up front desk and they said they would send someone with a new set of keys. Someone came in offering to help. Turn out that person had an ANKLE MONITOR. When we complained to the front desk they denied the possibility outright. They even claimed that they could spot that individual in the CCTV (either they are dnying or the person is too smart to outwit the CCTVs). Either way a dangerous place to stay.

    Then they gave us a room on the other side whose sink woudn't drain. So after brushing the sink was full. Just couldn't wait to get out of this place and rent a different hotel. This was through priceline.com. Spend a little more and book a safer place. There is a Super 8 not too far from this place which is much safer and better. Would never stay here ever and would never recommed this place even to people I hate!!! Priceline might want to seriously reconsider if they even want to suggest Days Inn for people.

      I have been a Priceline member since they started and I have ALWAYS been happy with their rates, deals and especially their CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! I travel a lot and am able to plan my own trips using their app. For the first time since I have been a member, I had an issue with hotel I booked. The room looked ok at first glance but after using the toilet and finding it wasn’t working, taking a cold shower because there was not hot water and having bugs crawl across the ceiling and land on me, I went to the front desk to try to get a new room.

      The front desk told me they were booked and they would not give me a refund. They would have maintenance address my concerns in the morning. I contacted Priceline support and after navigated past AI, I spoke to a real person who took care of my room refund and then transferred me to another department who made me a new reservation in a better hotel for the same money. All in less than an hour. So, do all of you Priceline haters out there😝. I don’t know what to tell you.

      I rarely leave negative reviews, but after spending over 8 hours across three days trying to resolve a simple reservation issue, I feel other travelers should know what happened. I prepaid $998 for a reservation at the Holiday Inn Fort Montgomery using my American Express card. I booked online, believing I was booking directly with the hotel. Only after the charge posted did I realize it had gone through Priceline, which apparently routed the reservation through another third-party booking company. My request was incredibly simple: I did not want to cancel my reservation. I only wanted to discuss making a change to it. That could have meant adding a night, shifting dates, or exploring available options. I simply needed to speak with someone who could access my reservation. Instead, I was sent in endless circles.

      The hotel told me they had no reservation for me and directed me to Priceline. Priceline told me they didn't actually handle the reservation and transferred me to another third-party company. That company only offered an AI phone system that repeatedly failed to locate my reservation, misunderstood my confirmation number, asked multiple times if I wanted to cancel (I repeatedly said no), and never connected me to a human representative. Priceline tried transferring me again—with the exact same failed result. Priceline then told me the hotel should be able to help. I called the hotel again, only to be told they still couldn't help because they had no reservation in their system and had not been paid. To make matters worse, I received conflicting information about the hotel manager's name and schedule, making it nearly impossible to speak with someone who could actually assist.

      At one point, a hotel employee even told me this type of issue happens every week. After all of this, I contacted American Express. The first representative told me they couldn't help because my situation didn't fit one of their standard dispute categories. Only after requesting a supervisor was someone willing to listen, understand the situation, and open a dispute investigation. The most frustrating part isn't that a mistake happened. Mistakes happen. The problem is that every company involved accepted my money, but no company accepted responsibility for helping me. Every phone call ended with someone telling me to call someone else.

      This experience exposed a customer service system that relies too heavily on scripted overseas support and AI that cannot handle situations outside a standard script. When technology fails, there needs to be an empowered human who can step in and solve the customer's problem. I've stayed at this Holiday Inn before and have generally had good experiences, which makes this even more disappointing. Unfortunately, this experience has completely changed my opinion. I'm not posting this because I want to complain. I'm posting it because I still want someone to take ownership of my reservation and resolve the issue. If anyone from Holiday Inn, Priceline, or the booking partner is reading this, I'd appreciate having a real person contact me to help resolve this situation. Until then, I cannot recommend booking through this process, especially for prepaid reservations.

      Rented a room at Extended Stay in Fishkill. Came to the hotel, front desk closed at 10 so could not get my key. Called Priceline: “We can’t help you until someone is at the front desk and your refund will be processed in two days." I said, "Sir, I am in my car and have nowhere to go." They said, "Sorry, ma’am, there is no one at the front desk to help you. There is nothing we can do. We will speak to the front desk in the morning and then process your refund. You should see it in two days." 🤦‍♀️ Please use another site so you're sure to have a place to stay!

      DO NOT PURCHASE ANY TYPE OF TRAVEL INSURANCE OR CAR RENTAL INSURANCE FROM PRICELINE. Priceline representative are absolutely worthless in helping with claims purchased on their website. I recently purchased insurance for a rental car from Hertz in another country, when I got the rental car I was basically told that if I had an accident I would be responsible to pay and my insurance which I purchased from Priceline I have to file a claim with them.

      I was only there in that country for a day so I couldn't physically get a police report but I submitted the report number, that insurance RENTALCOVER.com won't process my claim because they want the physical report. Contacted Priceline and literally after 15 minutes was able to talk to a rep who was trash, couldn't help with anything, then spoke to a supervisor who was also trash, won't even provide her full name. No basically I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place and scammed outta $500.

      I booked a hotel in New York City through Priceline and clearly requested a room with two beds because three adults would be sharing the room. To avoid any issues, I contacted the hotel well in advance to confirm my request. A few days before my trip, I called the hotel again, only to be told they had never received the two-bed request and that only one-bed rooms were available.

      When I reached out to Priceline at 1-855-201-5621 for assistance, they were unwilling to take responsibility or offer a meaningful solution. I had to ask them to contact the hotel or help with a room upgrade, but they provided very little support. I ended up calling the hotel myself, explaining the entire situation. Thankfully, the hotel staff was much more helpful and said they would do everything possible, even if it meant bringing in a cot so all three adults would have a place to sleep.

      I booked a hotel on Priceline online. The advertisement clearly mentioned that the hotel could be canceled within 5 days of the reservation. The same day that I made the reservation I found out that my plans had changed. I called Priceline and they told me that my reservation was non-cancelable and the only way to get the $1350 that they already charged my credit card was to cancel the reservation and request that the hotel refund me my money. The next day they sent me an email saying that the hotel denied my request. I called back that same day and said that I understood that I could not get a refund but now I wanted to reinstate my reservation since they already had my money. They said that they couldn’t do that. I requested to speak to a manager but all I got was an email back saying they could not do anything. So they had my money and I could not get the room. In my humble opinion this is the worst customer service ever and pure stealing.
