    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.

      Used Expedia a few times this year for flights and hotels and overall had a pretty smooth experience. I like being able to compare different options in one place, and the prices were usually better than booking separately. One hotel booking had a small issue at check-in, but customer support helped fix it faster than I expected. Not perfect, but convenient and easy to use for travel planning.

      I booked a round trip flight from Miami to San Andres Colombia for my wife's birthday from June 23-29 With Avianca Airlines Itinerary # ** and Confirmation # **. I called Expedia at the beginning of June and spoke with Nancy, whom we told my wife needed to take an earlier flight to Colombia to accompany her friend to her Chemotherapy treatments and take a flight to San Andres from there but wanted to make sure that her return flight to Miami from San Andres wouldn't be canceled. Nancy stated, "Don't worry, since you called us directly to cancel your June 23 flight to San Andres, your return flight won't be canceled. If you had just not shown for the flight without having called us, then it would get canceled."

      A few days before leaving San Andres on the 29th, Avianca sent us a message stating, "Welcome Ivonne, do you want to make any upgrades on your return flight # 9347 to Miami." This put me at ease that her return flight remained intact. When we went to the airport a few hours before our return flight to Miami, Avianca tells us that the return flight was canceled. When I showed the Avianca supervisor the message from Avianca, she refused to take any responsibility for it. She said call Expedia and tell them to reinstate the flight in the system.

      When I called Expedia and asked for Nancy, another customer service rep answered and said there was nothing she could do. When I asked to speak to a Supervisor, she hung up on me. As a result, my wife had to pay for another flight on the 30th, where I had to pay another $50 for another night in the hotel for her, but only to Cali because everything to Miami was booked. Then, she had to pay for still yet another flight to Miami from Cali. Afterwards, I spoke with an Expedia supervisor named Annie at 1 800 270-2088 who assured me that she would process a refund of $130.00 because of the misinformation Nancy gave us. Annie told me the refund was approved July 4 and I would receive the money credited back to my account within 5-7 business days.

      It is now July 20th and I have yet to receive any type of refund for my wife's initial return flight nor the other two flights she had to pay for to return to Miami from Cali. Moral of the story is don't book anything directly with Expedia and with Avianca who you can call or go to their chat line and get AI agents that take you in circles and you never get a live customer agent.

      I have knee injury and could not walk while I was in Bangkok. I called Japan Airlines (both in Bangkok and Tokyo) and there is a rule "no fit to fly". In other word, I should not pay extra $250 fee to reschedule the flight which was paid to Expedia. When I got back to the US, I called Expedia who told me the money went to Japan Airlines, I then called Japan Airlines again was told, with no fit to fly, there should no be extra fee to be paid to Expedia to reschedule the flight. I then called back to Expedia and was told, the case will be investigated with Japan Airlines. I have never heard back from Expedia again. I called Expedia today and was told, the case was closed and told me, $250 was paid to Japan Airlines.

      I am very disappointed the way Expedia handles with this case even with letter from doctor to verify that I am not able to walk and not fit to fly. How could the case be closed without letting me know what is going on? I should not be charged $250 to reschedule the flight because I am in the category of not fit to fly per airline policy.

      Earlier this month I planned I'm taking a trip through Covington Georgia for a family reunion for my sister's husband. I booked my hotel reservation online. I know I didn't know what the time I was looking it through Expedia I thought I was going directly to the hotel. Later on my sister was saying that she didn't plan on attending so I tried to cancel my reservation. I called the hotel and cancel the reservation supposedly only to find out later on and they went back and revoked it. I've been trying to call the hotel and cancel the reservation again to get a refund. When I booked the hotel I bought the plan for a refund protection thinking that it was something where I would get my money back. If I didn't attend if I didn't go to the event. I was being told that at the time that I booked my room it was deemed non-refundable.

      I'm thinking that I'm choosing to protect your plan for me to take me but in actuality is something that takes them and makes it able for them to keep your money. I rebooked the hotel at another location because that was the problem. I booked the wrong hotel in the first place, call the first hotel back and told them I had booked another hotel and good baby transferred the book into that hotel. In the end they have been giving me the runaround. They don't. They didn't refund my money and keep telling me it's not responding. I paid these people $327 for this hotel room for that date and even though I cancelled the room in plenty of time I still can't get a refund. First of all there's no reason for me not getting my money back unless I cancelled too late second. Why should I have to give a reason and provide them with proof of that reason to get my money back.

      I live on a limited income with my pension and social security. I cannot afford to give nobody to $327 for no reason. At the end of the conversation with the hotel I made it clear that I will never ever ever book another hotel room through Expedia or at the Hampton Inn. I suggest that if you go to the Hampton inn anywhere and you can't make your reservation when the date comes or you want to cancel before that day. Do not buy the protection plan because it's a plan where they get to keep their money. It's not protecting you. It's protecting them.

Apparently Expedia then sends a virtual card to the hotel for them to process the payment on. But the amount the hotel charged was $250.00 less than what Expedia said it would be. Expedia told me that is their negotiated discount, and not an amount I get back. What a Scam. DO NOT PAY Expedia, wait to pay at the hotel after your stay. I learned this the hard way unfortunately.

      VRBO & Expedia, same company. Booked a reservation with Expedia and was told it was Vrbo who managed the reservation but Vrbo customer portal could not locate my reservation, did not have a booked reservation. The cancellation terms on the Expedia website were not the same as the ones on the Vrbo confirmation and were not received until AFTER reservation was booked.

      Cancellation terms are set by Vrbo hosts and you do not receive this information until after you booked the reservation. Credit card was charged as soon as reservation was made. To receive 100% of payment I needed to cancel before a date that was prior to reservation booking date. For example if reservation was booked on May 1, to receive your refund you would have had to cancel before April 15, the date came before the booking date. This was not a typo. Good luck complying with these terms. Host refused to agree to a refund. Don't waste your time trying to resolve issues with customer service or supervisor, do not have the power to resolve, did not understand the issue, may lack knowledge.

      ALERT: If you are offered a 50% refund you do not receive 50% of your payment, I did a simple calculation and the actual refund was 39% of total payment. Vrbo does not refund you the management fees or taxes. They keep the taxes. If you are waiting for a refund, good luck you may never see it. I'm still waiting for them to explain how they have a cancellation cut off date that is before the date I booked the reservation. Host refuses to refund the money and Vrbo follows their direction. Will never use these companies again.

      Avoid booking through Expedia. I would give Zero star or negative star! We paid a premium rate of $535/night for a 5-night stay at Lake Louise Inn because Expedia explicitly advertised "Breakfast Included." When we arrived, the hotel stated breakfast was not included. I spent over 2.5 hours on the phone with Expedia customer service while on vacation. They refused to fix their mistake, honor the advertised rate, or provide an adjustment. For our family of four, breakfast at the hotel costs $40/person daily with taxes and service fees. Expedia’s false advertising forced us to pay an unexpected $800 out of pocket. To resolve this $800 deficit, Expedia insultingly offered a $25 future credit, which I rejected. Expedia advertises amenities they do not deliver and leaves travelers stranded. Do not trust them—book directly with the hotel instead. Do not Trust Expedia.

      Expedia completely failed us and turned what should have been a family vacation into a stressful and expensive nightmare. When we arrived at the hotel, we immediately felt unsafe and uncomfortable with the conditions of the property. Rather than taking a chance, I contacted Expedia right away to explain the situation and ask for assistance. The Expedia representative instructed me to leave the property immediately while they processed my cancellation and refund request. Trusting Expedia's guidance, I left the hotel and booked another hotel for the remainder of our 3-day vacation. This resulted in additional unexpected expenses, but I followed Expedia's instructions because I believed they were resolving the issue. I even provided proof that I secured alternate accommodations and did not remain at the original property.

      After days of communication and being led to believe my case was being handled appropriately, Expedia denied my refund. I am now being charged for a hotel stay that I did not use, despite doing exactly what Expedia told me to do. The most frustrating part is the complete lack of accountability. If Expedia's representatives tell a customer to leave a property immediately, there should be documentation of that conversation and Expedia should stand behind its guidance. Instead, they left me paying for two hotels and fighting for a refund that should never have been denied.

      I had a terrible experience booking a rental car in Aruba through Expedia with Thrifty, and I would absolutely not recommend it. Before traveling, I booked and prepaid for a specific car size through Expedia, including a $98 protection plan purchased in the U.S. However, when we arrived in Aruba, everything went wrong. First, Thrifty told us they did not have the car size we had reserved, so they switched us to a different vehicle. On top of that, they charged us even more money for the replacement car.

      The worst part was the insurance situation. We were told at the Thrifty counter in Aruba that the protection plan we had already paid for through Expedia was not valid there, and that if we wanted to leave with the car, we had to purchase another protection plan directly from them. We had no real choice at that point. We were basically forced to pay again and were told to contact Expedia later for a refund. Now Expedia is refusing to refund the $98 protection plan that was completely useless in Aruba. So we ended up paying for coverage twice because Expedia sold us a protection plan that Thrifty would not honor at the destination.

      This was an extremely frustrating, stressful, and misleading experience. Expedia should not be selling protection plans that are not accepted by the rental company at the actual pickup location, and customers should not have to fight for a refund after being put in that situation. Between the wrong car, extra charges, and the insurance scam-like runaround, this turned into a complete headache and a terrible start to our trip. I expected much better from Expedia and Thrifty. This experience felt disorganized, unfair, and deceptive. I will be very cautious about ever booking a rental car through Expedia again.

      I booked a minivan through Expedia with Enterprise on February 16, 2026, for pickup on May 22, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. The reservation cost was $500.79. At approximately 1:30 p.m. on the day of pickup, I called the Enterprise location to see if the vehicle was available early. I was told it was not ready and to arrive at my originally scheduled pickup time.

      When I arrived that evening, Enterprise checked me in, completed all of the rental paperwork, and sent me to retrieve the vehicle. Only then was I informed that there was no minivan available. At that point, I had to scramble to find another rental while beginning a family vacation. After approximately 2½ hours of searching, I was able to secure another minivan, but it cost $816.71—over $315 more than my original reservation.

      That same evening, I contacted Expedia by phone. I was specifically told that Expedia would reimburse the difference between my original reservation and the replacement rental once I submitted the final invoice after my trip. I relied on that representation. After submitting the invoice, Expedia denied reimbursement and instead offered a $75 travel credit (that is only good on Expedia website).

      While I appreciate the gesture, a $75 credit does not address either the additional expense or the significant inconvenience. This was not a last-minute reservation—I booked the vehicle more than three months in advance. There was ample time for Expedia and Enterprise to identify and resolve any inventory issues before my scheduled pickup.

      What is most disappointing is not simply the additional cost, but the lack of communication. Had I received a phone call before arriving, I could have arranged alternate transportation without losing hours of my vacation. Instead, I completed the rental paperwork, was sent to retrieve the vehicle, and only then learned that it did not exist. I have used Expedia many times, but this experience has significantly reduced my confidence in booking rental cars through the platform. Customers should be able to rely on reservations made months in advance and on the commitments made by customer service representatives when problems occur.

      I booked a flight from Montreal-Calgary-Montreal with a Standard fare for both legs that included the carry on bag both ways with Porter Airlines. I had the confirmation email clearly indicating the fares and that the carry on bag was included both ways (and the itinerary on the Expedia for TD confirmed the same thing). No issues on the Montreal-Calgary leg, but coming back to Montreal I was Porter indicated that my fare was Basic, not Standard, and for that reason the carry on bag was not included. I had to go to the counter at the airport and pay CAD 80 for a carry on bag that I had already paid for.

      I had to call twice to Expedia for TD and spend over 2 hours on the phone because the agents keep saying that their system showed that I had booked a Basic fare, and I had to fight tooth and nail so that they gave me the opportunity to send them a copy of the confirmation email so that they could see for themselves that they were breaching the contract by saying that I had a different fare than the one they confirmed by email and on their website.

      They finally sent me an email and I could send them all the proof I had. it's unclear at this point whether they will reimburse me, but regardless all this is painful and it's clear that there Expedia for TD has a bug between their front and back ends, where the front ends tells you that you are booking fare X but in their back end they are reading fare Y. After this, I called to double check the faire of other bookings I had. The whole point with this is: Expedia is not a reliable booking option: go to the airlines directly and avoid the intermediary.

      I booked a 3-day solo trip to Miami with Expedia. It was the worst idea I've ever had. On the day of departure, my flight with Frontier Airlines was delayed by almost an hour. I therefore missed my connecting flight. They then put me on another flight the next day because there were no more flights to Miami that day. I didn't arrive at the hotel until 2:30 pm the following day. Despite my numerous calls to the hotel to explain the situation, and despite their reassurances that I would have my room, my reservation had been canceled upon my return. They offered to let me make another reservation and request a refund for the old one. I had no choice, which I did. But today, Expedia, through their travel insurance, is refusing to reimburse me for my hotel, claiming that the reason I didn't show up for check-in isn't valid for a refund. What should I do?

      Impossible to cancel a reservation for a car in the Dominican Republic and even worse to cancel car insurance, paid for, online. No customer service number to be found.

      I contacted Expedia before changing my flight because I wanted accurate pricing information. The representative told me that changing to a Monday morning flight would be free and instructed me to complete the change through Alaska Airlines. After following that advice, I learned the change actually cost about $200 per person. While I understand airline prices can change, I was disappointed that Expedia would not take responsibility for the inaccurate information provided by their representative or offer any goodwill compensation. Customer service resolution was disappointing.

      I usually like Expedia. It is easy to use and easy to find what I need, for the most part. I made my reservation in a hotel just 20 miles from my home as I was going to have a medical procedure and I needed to be close to the hospital because I had to be there early and I, nor my partner, can drive in the dark. However, the procedure was cancelled and I no longer need to stay. Since I am not allowed to cancel and get a refund, I need to spend unnecessary money staying in a hotel very close to my home. I will no longer use Expedia. It was only slightly cheaper than Booking.com. I have recently used them. And I was able to cancel another trip due to financial hardship.

      My review is long but I hope those thinking about using Expedia will take the time to read. I was working with a resort for reservations. When calling the resort back I somehow got Expedia. They don't identify when answering the phone, only state reservations. I asked for 'Sue', the resort representative I was working with. Expedia rep paused and said she was on another line. I have to admit there were red flags but per Expedia rep's persistence I made reservation costing $5,000. Received confirmation without any reference to Expedia.

      Few days later I called resort rep to book activities. That is when I discovered I booked thru Expedia. When booked thru resort my cost was $2,000. Trying to cancel thru Expedia is another story. After 2 phone calls, a promise a supervisor would call me in a few minutes (never did call), ridiculous cancellation fee, Expedia agreed to a full refund that will take over 30 days. I have doubts it will go smoothly but I can only hope. I found Expedia deceptive, high priced with poor customer service.

      Made a hotel reservation through Expedia. Son informs me that he gave me the wrong date for travel. Within 5 hours of making the reservation I cancel - or at least I thought I had. This was late April, 2026. Expedia will not return the $800 they snatched from my bank account. (They called me and flat-out told me so.) I will never use this company again and will tell everyone I know (and many people I don't know) about my experience.
