    Trying to book directly with international airlines and hotels was nearly impossible. Thankfully, Expedia solved all my problems! I was able to complete all my overseas reservations immediately through their platform. I am so grateful for their fast service, wonderful prices, and how much easier they made my trip planning. Best of all, I don't have to check multiple websites anymore because Expedia summarizes everything in one convenient place to track.

    This morning I called Expedia about a reservation I had coming up this fall. I spoke to one person who truly didn't have a clue what I was asking and decided to call back and hopefully get a better agent. I truly did - the agent's name is Sharath and he was just awesome. I explained my situation - I was trying to book an earlier flight out of Fort Lauderdale for my cousin and myself back to Denver on November 8 and needed to know if there would be a rebooking fee. Within a small amount of time Sharath had talked to United Airlines and had me all booked at no extra cost. Sharath is customer service at its finest. Thank you Sharath for your wonderful service.

      I have two frustrations with Expedia. I like all the options for flights on their website; however, It is very frustrating when adding filters the screen goes away and comes back in a few seconds. I wanted to check a number of boxes but must wait for the screen to come back on AFTER EVERY FILTER CHECK!! Really, this is the 21st century, please update your server. When I look where to send this message directly to Expedia, I went to contact us but that site sent me to another customer service port and neither allowed me to express my frustration. The site is cumbersome, slow to react and difficult to locate and utilize a simple customer support messaging.

      I've used Expedia multiple times and have generally had good results. Travel options can be easily compared using the platform, and combining flights and hotels frequently results in significant savings. The majority of my reservations were simple and trouble-free. When I changed a reservation, I had a small problem, but the customer service team was quick to respond and fixed the problem. Even though there are no perfect services, Expedia is still a dependable and easy option for booking travel.

      Travel Credit from American Airlines does not show up online even though there is a tab to click on to view your travel credits. Expedia says you have to call to use the credit but they cannot guarantee the price you are seeing. Their agents are not very smart. When I asked one of them for their badge number, they told me for privacy reasons, they could not provide it...Privacy?? From a badge number???

      I would strongly recommend never using Expedia. I have been dealing with an ongoing ordeal trying to get a refund for a canceled flight, and I still have not received my money. I have contacted Expedia multiple times, and each time I am given another excuse or told to wait longer. Despite repeatedly following up and even having documentation confirming that I was supposed to receive a refund, I am still left waiting with no resolution. Save yourself the frustration and book directly with the airline or organization whenever possible. Expedia is happy to take your money, but getting it back when something goes wrong is an entirely different story. Their customer service has been extremely disappointing, and it is incredibly difficult to get a clear answer or speak with someone who genuinely cares about resolving the issue. I will not be using Expedia again, and I would not recommend them to my friends or family.

      Expedia confirmed my hotel reservation and then cancelled it without following up with an email or phone call. It wasn't until we were at our destination, ready to explore when the hotel told us there was an error on their end and Expedia refused to give them my information to contact me. Because of this, our excursions had to be cancelled. On the spot, there were only two dingy motels left, something we were cornered into taking. The motel room we were given had a busted in door, melted down microwave, spider webs on the towel and hair in the bed. Expedia did not respond to our complaints until the next day.

      We were forced into an unsafe and unsanitized environment. We went for a vacation and drove all the way there to leave first thing in the morning. Not only did we miss our paid excursions, we wasted gas and had to pay MORE for the most disgusting motel ever. Expedia hardly apologized and instead of reimbursing me for the hotel, gave me points to use, instead of an actual refund. I will be using my points and never using them again. And expedia will get multiple phone calls a day leading up to my trip ensure they have not cancelled my reservation.

      We booked a trip to Jamaica with another family. Each family booked at the same time in the same house. We both stayed in the same hotel the night before our flight. The flight got cancelled and rescheduled to the next day. We both called Expedia at the same time from the same hotel room to make a few inquiries. The family with us was issued an immediate refund no questions asked for the night we would not be able to make to the resort. My representative was rude and and I was told a waiver would have to be sent to the resort. I was denied a partial refund. I have no understanding of why they were issued an immediate refund of $400+ and I was denied. Neither of us purchased travel insurance. I will NEVER use Expedia again.

      We booked a package deal with Expedia going to Lake Tahoe Reno, Nevada. This was in April taking the trip in May. Well the day I made the reservations they charged me for the airfare half price just to make sure I had the money in the account and then the next day they charged me the full amount of the airfare and never took off the original amount and I've been trying to get my money back since I noticed that this happened which was about 20 days after the trip by reviewing my bank account. I talked to Expedia about it. They told me to talk to the airlines or my bank. So I talked to both my bank and the airlines and they all said that it's expedia's responsibility cuz they're the ones who charged the trip.

      So here I am back at Expedia still to this day and they're saying that they'd see no such amount taken out were charged only the correct price of the airfares. It was both Southwest and Delta. So, they're pretty much refusing to return my money which added up to $500 and I don't know what else to do about it. Besides take them to small claims court because nobody will listen to me or believe me that this happened. I even sent them copies of my bank account statements and screenshots. This Injustice has pretty much consumed a lot of my time trying to get it back for all this time with no results. I'm sick of going through this to get my money back, so if anybody has any ideas on what I can do please let me know. I'd appreciate it. But beware of Expedia. Thank you for listening!

      A deeply frustrating and unacceptable experience with Expedia. British Airways cancelled my original booking and confirmed a refund of £1,346.58. I then spent weeks trying to understand why the money had not reached me, including contacting British Airways and my bank. I eventually discovered that Expedia had used the refunded funds in connection with a completely separate flight booking that I had never requested, authorised or even known about. Only after I contacted Expedia on 12 August was that booking cancelled. Expedia then confirmed in writing that £1,306.28 would be refunded to my original payment method within 7–10 business days. That period passed without the refund reaching me.

      I had to repeatedly contact Expedia, explain the same situation again and again, deal with contradictory information, unusable telephone numbers, and spend a significant amount of time chasing money that should never have been used in this way in the first place. Eventually, after further escalation and a phone call on 26 August, Expedia finally processed the £1,306.28 refund. However, they refused to offer any compensation despite the unauthorised booking, the prolonged delay, the stress caused, and the considerable amount of time I had to spend pursuing this matter.

      The most disturbing part of this experience is not simply the delay. It is that my refunded money was used for another flight booking without my knowledge or authorisation. For a major international travel company, this level of handling is extremely concerning. Very poor customer service, very poor internal controls, and an exhausting experience from beginning to end. I would strongly advise customers to monitor refunds carefully and keep written evidence of every communication.

      We paid €19,408 for a villa at the French Riviera that had mold, dirty/damaged furniture, a non\-functioning kitchen, and an unsecured exterior bedroom door upon arrival\. Despite providing photos and videos, Vrbo dismissed the mold as “moisture,” claimed the unlocked exterior bedroom door and overall dirty condition were still “livable conditions,” and refused a full refund — which is nonsense\. The entire process took 6 days of my vacation, going back and forth with Vrbo support, only to be repeatedly dismissed\. Some property reviews also appeared unverified, which was surprising given Vrbo’s link to Expedia\. Due to the condition of the property, we had to leave and pay for alternative accommodation\.

I either paid the full amount for both tickets, or the cost of the 2nd trip wasn't the amount I was told. On my card statement it shows up as paying for the full amount for two flights. I called to see why and was 1st told there was no record for the 2nd flight although I was charged for it. I had to hold twice for the agent to find the charge, but rewrote her narrative to the price of the charged flight costing a lot more which I was not told. I repeatedly asked and was repeated told the price was only $100 more. Now I'm being told it was over $500! Are both lying? I don't trust Expedia any longer.

      We decided to stay elsewhere and canceled May 12th 2026 WELL IN ADVANCE of the cancellation policy Expedia claims you'll get a full refund for if done before Sept 6th, 2026. Expedia charged me a separate charge for the $266.06 trip insurance and then pays that to their 3rd party. Rip off company Generali Insurance and they have this little bullshit clause about Free Look and give you 15 DAYS to cancel to get your trip insurance refunded.

      Delta Airlines has completely failed us. We had a March 2026 trip booked to Cape Town through Expedia flights with Delta, hotel with Radisson Red Waterfront. Because of the ongoing war, we had to cancel a trip we’d been planning for over a year. Radisson Red immediately refunded us and put our safety first. Delta Airlines did not. Delta issued a credit that:expires in six months, can only be used for Cape Town, and cannot be extended or changed to another destination.

      This is absurd, especially given the current war situation. My husband called Expedia to request an extension or a destination change. Both were denied. Expedia made it clear that Delta’s policies are the problem. Delta’s lack of concern for passenger safety is unacceptable. Their policies prioritize profit over people, and their customer service shows zero compassion or flexibility. We are irate, disappointed, and completely unsatisfied. Delta Airlines has shown us that money matters more to them than the safety of their customers.

Apparently, they sent an email; they are still awaiting the response since I called back 72 hours later as they suggested.

Asked me if I want to book anything else and cancel the $1,000 worth booking without any refund. Seriously? Who does that?

      I understand that policies exist, but charging a customer for a room that was never occupied and refusing to make any exception shows a complete lack of customer service. I still stayed at the hotel and paid for another room, yet neither Expedia nor the property was willing to help resolve an honest mistake. This experience has left me very disappointed. The lack of flexibility and the conflicting information I received from customer service make it difficult for me to recommend booking here.

      I will never use Expedia again. My flight was canceled due to bad weather, and I tried to get help from them with rebooking or a refund. However, they lied and told me the resort didn’t want to make any changes. Still, before I called them I had already contacted the resort and the resort told me I have to make Expedia because I made my reservation through them. I contacted experdia, they left on the for a good amount of acting like they trying to help and come back on the line and told me that they are sorry that the resort don’t want to change or refund the money and lost all the money.
