    Flight, car rental, and hotel. Stress free after all is done. I didn't know at the time but after the trip, I realized I had more family time because of Priceline being reasonable with pricing and so many different ways to fit my schedule. Fyi, we missed our flight home (helping out a stranger, more important then time). Flight company still got us home safe. Thank you to the one who created this app and I'll be using you again.

      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 recently bought a round-trip ticket with Priceline but had to cancel because the relatives going with me decided to change plans. I canceled within the allowed 24 hours and received my refund yet charged me $70 in fees. I called and asked why, and the representative wasn't sure and said they would refund the $70 which never happened. I disputed this charge with my bank, and the bank sided with them. They advertise full refunds within 24 hours right on the front page, yet you still have to read the fine print when dealing with them. I don't like that type of slick shit and will never book with them again!

      Not the first time providing false information.... I booked an medical emergency trip to Puerto Rico... When I booked a rental car with Priceline, they offered insurance with it. I took it and paid for it. When I got to PR the first thing the car rental told me was that although they offered complete coverage, the car rental do not take it as full and that I had to add another insurance to be covered. Since I had a family medical emergency they gave me no choice but to take whatever they offered and move on with my family emergency. After taking care of my family medical emergency in the ICU for 3 days, I was able to contact Priceline to let them know my situation but without hesitation their customer service advice me that there was no way to refund me that money... THINK ABOUT IT TWICE BEFORE BOOKING WITH THEM.... and if you have to read the very miniscule statement well .... idea .... incorporate the system of negative stars....

      Happy to applaud when due, but in this case 1 star is inflated. Priceline may have many satisfied customers and my experience with their agents would bear that out, considering I spoke or emailed at least 20 of them since July. But customer service doesn't always equate to competent service. I have never seen such an inept, inability to resolve a clear issue in my life. Again, the agents themselves were respectful but they had absolutely no clue or ability as to resolve my issue.

      I made a reservation in July which included airfare and car rental. Within 2 weeks the trip was cancelled due to an unacceptable change by the airline. No problem. The next day the airline fully refunded my credit card. Priceline however shorted me by $32. Thus began a 2 month journey of phone calls, emails, supervisor intervention, elevated issues, rinse and repeat, rinse and repeat.

      The 'flight' side of the house said it was the car rental department, the car rental department said it was a flight issue. The agents and the supervisors could see the discrepancy between the charge and the credit, but could do nothing to correct it. And btw it was not a penalty or cancellation fee. Eventually someone said it was a security hold by my credit card company.. Ridiculous...a $32 hold. Which the credit card company verified was not the case. I eventually disputed it and Priceline immediately contested the dispute saying it was valid. Amazing how quickly they responded to the dispute lol. Well, I am not done pursuing this but I am done with Priceline. Terrible experience. No I am not desperate for $32. I do however expect and deserve competent company policy and process.

      My experience with Priceline on July 29, 2026, was extremely disappointing and completely changed my opinion of the company. I booked a room at Sonesta Select through Priceline. When I arrived and checked into the room, I was shocked by the condition. The room was filthy and clearly had not been properly maintained. The floor had numerous visible stains, the couch had obvious liquid stains, the bathroom was filthy, the toilet had visible stains, and the shower smelled awful. This was not simply a matter of the room being less than perfect or not meeting my personal preferences. I did not feel comfortable staying in the room at all and could not stay there. The most frustrating part is what happened next.

      I spoke with the hotel, and they were willing to refund the room. However, because I booked through Priceline, the hotel explained that Priceline had to process the refund. I contacted Priceline expecting them to resolve the problem. Instead, the Priceline representative told me that I would have to accept a fee of approximately half the cost of the room in order to receive a refund. Priceline's justification was that its terms and conditions do not allow a refund after a customer has checked into the room. Think about that for a moment: How is a customer supposed to determine whether a hotel room is filthy or otherwise unacceptable without actually entering the room and inspecting it? Priceline's position essentially left me with two choices: stay in a room that I found unacceptable, or lose a significant portion of the money I paid for a room I could not use.

      What makes this even more frustrating is that the hotel was willing to refund me, yet Priceline refused to provide the same resolution because of its third-party booking policy. This experience showed me that when something goes wrong, Priceline's priority appears to be enforcing its terms and conditions rather than finding a reasonable solution for the customer. A company's policies should not become an excuse to leave a customer paying for a room they could not reasonably stay in—especially when the hotel itself was willing to make it right. I booked through Priceline expecting the convenience and protection of using a major travel company. Instead, I learned that booking through a third party can put you between the hotel and the booking company when there is a serious problem.

      I will not use Priceline again, and I strongly encourage other travelers to think carefully before booking a hotel through Priceline. Saving a few dollars through a third-party booking site isn't worth it if you have a legitimate problem and discover that the company is unwilling to stand behind its customer. Very disappointing experience. Priceline lost my trust and my future business.

      DO NOT USE for Flights! Airlines will not give credits even partial for cancellations unless you pay unnecessary extra fees through this third party site. I bought a ticket for December on September 7th, I attempted to cancel on the 16th of September. Contacted American Airlines was told they will not honor any trips purchased through third parties. Contacted Priceline they will not honor either. I find this extremely frustrating with both companies because I have used both numerous times and they always overbook these American flights, so there is really no reason to not honor a cancellation this far in advance but to get extra cash from loyal customers.

      I suspect Priceline of deliberately deceiving customers for profit. I booked a flight on the Priceline website and paid an extra fee to select a specific seat; since the flight was over ten hours long, I wanted a seat in the front row for extra legroom. However, the seat map displayed on their website did not match the actual aircraft layout. Although I had selected and paid for a front-row seat, I was informed upon boarding that my seat was actually in the second row. I immediately contacted Priceline, and they promised to issue a refund, advising me to board the flight in the meantime. After landing, I called Priceline again, and the customer service representative stated that the refund would be processed within three days.

      When no refund appeared after a week, I called again and was told it would take 10 to 20 days. A month passed, so I called once more, and they said the refund would be issued within five days. Now, two months have gone by; I called again today, only to be told by Priceline that, according to the terms of my purchase agreement—and because I had already paid for and flown the flight—they would not issue a refund.

      I was a Gold member in Priceline but after a couple of problems with them, I will now book my travel on my own. I accidently booked Pearl Street Hotel in Lacrosse, Wisconsin for 3 nights but I meant to book a room on Pearl Street in Boulder, Colorado. How Lacrosse popped up on my search rather than Boulder, I don't know but his was a true honest mistake.

      When I contacted Priceline (before the date of the booking) they told me they would seek the hotel's approval before refunding my $524. Priceline said that Pearl Street Hotel in Lacrosse would not approve the cancellation (what!) and to contact them directly, I contacted the hotel and explained my situation. They did not have the respect enough to return my message/call. This is BAD business. I am a retired lady with a lot of travel ahead of me but this situation was the straw that broke the camel's back.

      Early this Sunday morning, I received an email from Priceline with an itinerary for a trip I never booked through Priceline. I had booked a trip with Expedia to the same destination, connecting through the same cities, both ways. My actual trip was booked on American Airlines. It took the better part of my morning to straighten this out with United (whose customer service was excellent, by the way). I still don’t know how this happened, and I’ll lose my religion if I spend anymore bandwidth trying to figure it out. All I learned is that booking directly with the airline is less stressful, and no promise of a discount is worth the aggregation. I’m retired, on a modest retirement income, and rarely need to fly anymore. This kind of nonsense makes me want to take the bus.

      I am demanding a full refund of the $2,933.50 package price, subject to any amounts Priceline can properly establish were actually and fully provided and for which Priceline has a legitimate contractual basis to retain payment. THE TRIP CAUSED SERIOUS DISRUPTION. This was not a simple cancellation or change-of-mind situation.

      We experienced serious problems with the rental-car pickup, including approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes dealing with transportation and pickup, followed by unexpected charges and requirements approaching $3,000. We were unable to obtain the rental-car service under the circumstances presented to us and had to arrange alternative transportation. We then experienced significant airline delays that disrupted our return travel. As a result, we lost approximately two days of work.

      Our vacation time had been limited and approved by our employers. Because we were delayed returning home, we exceeded the vacation time that had been approved, creating additional problems with our employment. I was also traveling with my 11-year-old son with Down syndrome, making the prolonged airport delays, transportation problems, waiting and uncertainty particularly difficult for our family. I AM DONE BEING PASSED FROM ONE COMPANY TO ANOTHER

      I did not purchase this trip by separately negotiating with United Airlines, a rental-car company and a hotel. I purchased a Priceline package through Priceline. I therefore expect Priceline to investigate the entire transaction and provide me with a complete written determination. If Priceline believes another supplier is responsible for a specific portion, Priceline can pursue whatever reimbursement or recovery it believes is appropriate from that supplier. That is not my responsibility.

      My responsibility was to pay Priceline for the package I purchased. Priceline’s current website itself promotes and sells packages combining flights, hotels and rental cars. (Priceline⁠) FORMAL DEMAND FOR RESPONSE. I am demanding that Priceline provide:

      1. A written determination regarding my $2,933.50 refund demand;
      2. A complete accounting of every amount Priceline charged me;
      3. An explanation of which services Priceline considers successfully provided;
      4. An explanation of which portion of the package Priceline is refusing to refund;
      5. The specific contractual provision Priceline relies upon for each denial;
      6. A written explanation of why Priceline believes I must pursue United separately;
      7. Confirmation that Priceline has escalated this matter to the appropriate legal/resolution department; and

      8. A proposed refund amount and payment date.

      I am not asking for another generic customer-service response. I am requesting a substantive written response from Priceline concerning the formal dispute. NOTICE OF FURTHER ACTION. If Priceline continues to refuse to meaningfully address this matter, I will proceed with the formal dispute-resolution procedures available to me under Priceline’s Terms and applicable law, including small-claims court where permitted and/or arbitration where applicable. I will also preserve and present the complete record, including:

      * Priceline’s package confirmation;
      * The $2,933.50 package charge;
      * The four $487.43 charges totaling $1,949.72;
      * Rental-car documentation;
      * Documentation concerning the rental-car pickup problems;
      * United Airlines itinerary and delay records;
      * Alternative transportation receipts;
      * Priceline’s previous responses;
      * Barclays dispute correspondence;
      * Documentation of the resulting work losses and expenses; and

      * All communications demonstrating Priceline’s failure to provide a substantive resolution.

      I am also requesting that Priceline preserve all records relating to my reservation and complaint, including telephone recordings, customer-service notes, emails, chat records, internal communications, supplier communications and refund records. I have attempted to resolve this matter directly and have given Priceline more than enough opportunity to respond. I want my refund resolved now. I am not interested in being sent back and forth between Priceline and third-party suppliers. If Priceline denies my demand, then provide the denial in writing, with the specific contractual and factual basis for the denial. I reserve all rights and remedies.

      Sincerely,

      Priceline is incompetent and does not have the correct/valid information that the car rental businesses they are advertising actually offers. My car broke down and I needed a way to get to work. Priceline did not mention anything about a down payment needed at pickup, just the $300 for the car. I ended up not even getting the car because they wanted an extra $300 for a down payment that I literally didn't have, so my total was $600 for 1 week of renting a car. Absurd.

      Then I was told the insurance I paid for through Priceline was not even valid to use so I would have to BUY ANOTHER insurance, which skyrockets my purchase to rent a car for one week above $600, or not be covered. Mind you I already paid $87 for the insurance I purchased through Priceline. The car I asked to rent out through Priceline was NOT the same car, not even the same make, as the car I was about to get rented. This experience was extremely stressful, left me stranded for a while till I could find a ride home, I had to call out of work for two days, a waste of time, and a waste of money. My best suggestion is to go through the actual car rental company so you skip all the third party bullshit and lies. You will get exactly what you asked for and will be paying exactly what they say.

      Priceline is not honest with rental car reservations. After researching our needs, we booked a rental car advertise as Honda pilot or similar. When we picked up our rental car, we were given a Nissan rogue which is smaller and not similar to a Honda pilot. The rental agent said they had no other vehicle for us. We called Priceline customer support and they confirmed that a Nissan Rogue is what they booked for us.

      I asked the customer support agent to read our reservation description to me and she stated Honda pilot or similar. I asked her to compare the dimensions of the Honda pilot in the Nissan rogue and she would not. Priceline customer service then said there was nothing else they could do for us. The rental agent found a vehicle a little bigger than a Nissan rogue so we could continue our trip. I requested follow up from Priceline and they sent an email saying that there will be no resolution. This company is very dishonest. We will never use them again or recommend them.

      I had a ridiculous experience with Priceline and Dollar rental car. I booked a car for travel surrounding a work trip. I could not imagine that in this day and age there is any reason a reservation for a car can’t be rescheduled other than company’s line these two are more about finding ways to rip you off instead of running a legitimate business. DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES BOOK ON PRICELINE OR DOLLAR RENTAL COMPANY!!

      Priceline is not trusted. Do not trust this company with your travel plans. They take your reservation, send a confirmation, and leave you stranded with no backup plan. Save your vacation and book somewhere reliable. My whole weekend plan is ruined because I received a confirmation for a rental but when I shows up the rental place there were no car available. Avis then proceed to tell me to call Priceline since I booked through them. When I call Priceline after waiting for 20 min the CS rep to tell me to book any their car on their website. Well that does me no good. I will be paying a high price for booking last minute. They would not help me book another booking for the same price I paid.

      I have had a very disappointing experience with Priceline. Priceline collected the payment from me but did not pay the hotel. When I arrived at the hotel, I was informed that the payment had not been received, so I had no choice but to book and pay for the room again. I immediately contacted Priceline and requested a refund for the amount that was not paid to the hotel. However, it has now been more than a month, and Priceline continues to give me the same response that they are "working with the vendor team" and will get back to me.

      Every time I call, I receive the same response without any actual resolution. I was also told via email that I would receive an update within 24 hours, but it has been more than 20 days and I still have not received any response. I have been continuously following up with Priceline, but there has been no meaningful progress or resolution. This is extremely frustrating, especially since I was charged for a booking that Priceline failed to pay to the hotel, forcing me to pay for the room again. I expect Priceline to take responsibility for this issue and process my refund immediately. I also expect a clear explanation of why this issue has taken more than a month to resolve.

      Priceline is horrible and will never use them again. I made a reservation and in 2 minutes I canceled due to the room not being big enough for our party. They charged me half of my price. WHY???? Is this how they make their commissions? I even called the hotel directly and they said since they didn't receive payment from them, they wouldn't charge for since it was canceled. HORRIBLE service.

      I purchased a hotel room at Hilton Garden Inn Falls Church, VA. When I arrived at the hotel, Priceline provided a non-valid card which looked as if the room wasn’t paid. After showing the hotel associate my bank transaction, we had to call customer service, who took several hours to complete the transaction and for me to check in. It is unacceptable to accept my funds, withdraw the funds, just to not have the corporate Priceline card not to work and constantly decline. My funds were taken, and even 2 hours later waiting on customer service to resolve my issue. I deserve a refund and comp rooms. UNACCEPTABLE and lame!

      I rented a car for my travel plans. Come to find out that the insurance that I purchased the rental company would not honor it. Had to purchase a second insurance from the rental if not I would be stuck in the middle of nowhere in a different country. Good luck trying to reach someone at Priceline at that as well.

      If I could I would give Next Car zero stars; -5 would be more fitting. I booked off of Priceline and was subjected to this nightmare rental place. They use a virtual assistance, they were nice at first, they got all my information, and then my credit card. Then they told me my insurance wasn’t valid enough; full coverage insurance. Turned around and told me they would have to charge me $1000 and they would hold it for 30 plus days or charge me $300non refundable fee. I LITERALLY HAVE VALID INSURANCE. I refused The car because it felt too much like fraud. A week later my credit card was exposed to fraudulent charges; the one I originally showed to the virtual assistant. I pray nothing else was compromised because they literally have all my info!

      Priceline will not give me my money back for the rental even though I rejected it due to Next Car janky policies! This place is making a lot of money off of people, and not providing the rental or feasible services. They are not even responding to Priceline professionally or providing information but Priceline thinks it’s okay to have their produce on their website. Priceline is clearly okay with having them just take people money because they are not doing much of anything to assist. Next Car hadn’t responded to email from Priceline or they can’t get a simple question answered over the phone.

      BEWARE, PLEASE Don’t BE SCAMMED LIKE I WAS. I called Priceline at the virtual desk on July 5th, it’s August 31 and I still haven’t received a refund for the rental that I didn’t pick a car up from next car!.On top of that, on the July 5 (same day) I had to purchase another rental car from the airport because I was on vacation. None of this is being taken into account. Priceline wants to talk about guideline & policies but they never mentioned fraudulent activity! This is not cool at all. Priceline should be ashamed for even partnering up with this company and I’m calling the better business bureau!

      I really wish that I had checked closer with. What Priceline reviews are like. I booked a room and it was unable to reach that room. Due to a plane delays, they were not interested in giving me a refund or offering me any kind of compensation. I would highly recommend not using price rate for any type of hotel stays at all.

      Very disappointing experience with Priceline. I had a hotel reservation for two nights and contacted Priceline to change it to one night. The representative told me they would call me back within 10 minutes, but they never called back. We then contacted the hotel directly, and the hotel confirmed that we could change the reservation and stay for only one night. However, Priceline refused to refund the money for the second night. This was extremely frustrating. The hotel was willing to accommodate the change, but Priceline refused to refund a night that we did not use. The customer service and communication were very disappointing. I would not book through Priceline again.

      We booked and were charged for two hotel rooms, but Priceline generated duplicate order numbers, resulting in the hotel recognizing only one room. At 11:30 PM after hours of traveling, we had to call Priceline to fix their mistake. There was a long wait just to get the call answered, followed by nearly 10 minutes navigating a frustrating and completely unhelpful automated system before finally reaching a representative.

      She told us Expedia, their supplier, needed to regenerate the correct code and promised to call us back within 10 minutes. Twenty minutes later, no call. We had to call again, endure the same wait and automated system, and start the process over. It took nearly an hour to resolve a reservation we had already paid for. Taking payment for two rooms but failing to provide two valid reservations is unacceptable. Making exhausted customers chase support late at night to fix Priceline’s mistake makes it even worse. Absolutely unreliable!

      Priceline pretends to help you but actually scams you of your money. Once you go with Priceline expect to get scammed. They will never give you a refund and their deals are through third parties that work with them that only care about taking your money. I called multiple times to ask about my case that they promised to handle but they did not until I called many times to ask for updates
