    When coming to a booked room, the room was not accessible and the landlord not available. When contacting Expedia, I was told to pay again for a new room elsewhere, and promised an SMS with the address of the new room. The SMS never came, and neither did the reimbursements for the 2 rooms successively booked and not made available. My complaints were not even responded to. I wonder how such scam can take place, and how can Expedia spend money on advertising whilst behaving like low-ranking mafiosi.

    Horrible, horrible, horrible company. After a death in the family, we decided on a much needed relaxing vacation in St. Helena, California and booked it through Expedia, with Travel insurance. But with circumstances beyond our control, we were forced to cancel our trip one month prior to our flight. When I contacted Expedia, they informed me that I would receive a voucher for a future trip, booked within one year. I stated to them that the contract from the purchased insurance, stated that I would be reimbursed by the same means as the original purchase. Also the hotel that I booked through Expedia, AUBERGE DU SOLEIL charged my credit & debit cards just shy of $15,000 after the cancelation, and were very defensive and rude about the brain fat on the part of Auberge Du Soleil. What a nightmare. Thank you for nothing Expedia, I hope all of your vacations are enjoyable as mine.

    They put me in a hotel in south Florida where the AC did not work and the room smelled like vomit. I tried to talk to the front desk and they said I didn't pay them I paid Expedia and call them. When I reached out to Expedia they pretended to care but then said too bad call the hotel. You would think that they would care about my awful experience, but they did not. I will never book with them again.

    Tried to book a flight for a seminar. I thought I was choosing one set of flights, but by next online page it reveals another set. I attempted to fix immediately with their “You’re in luck” link to change flight for free within 24 hrs. However when I click, the next page said “sorry this flight can’t be changed”. I called directly twice to make a change, however operator on the other line would not adjust nor cancel the flights. My money! Refused to give me what I want to spend my money on, so I insisted with two phone calls to cancel. They refused twice. Fortunately, my credit card company is helping me with this dispute. I refuse to pay for something I neither want or need. Tricky website and unethical business practices.

    I purchased a round trip ticket to Nashville back in May. I was cautious about not wanting to get bumped off, so I upgraded my ticket when I booked through Expedia. I upgraded with Expedia to be able to select my seating. When I checked in online with United, I realized that Expedia never upgraded me. I contacted them the week before and it took them the week to respond. By then I had already got on the flight and was in Nashville. When I asked them to refund me, they said because the date of the flight was over already, they could not do anything. In short, Expedia gave me a cheaper ticket, because the more expensive one was unavailable for United. They pocketed the difference, and in the end offered me the option to deactivate my account when I said I would never do business with Expedia again. I will never use Expedia again.

    I booked a flight a couple months before the actual departure date and of course, the airline I was booked on cancelled the departure flight. I was never alerted about the flight change via Expedia and had to make the call in myself to figure out what flight I was being changed to (I found out about the flight change because we are going in a large group and someone else got the notification about our flight cancelation). Either way I called in and was told I was booked from a direct flight of less than three hours, to a connection flight that would take 7+ hours and get me in over 9 hours after when I was previously scheduled to arrive. While on the phone with a travel agent, I asked what my options were as I have never been in this situation before. She advised me that I could either accept the change, make another change with the same airline, or cancel the flight.

    The same airline no longer had any direct flights so I inquired about booking with another airline that did have a direct flight and still got in at approximately the same time I was originally supposed to get in. She told me that this would be at a cost of short of $700. I inquired about how I would be paying that much on top of everything else I had already paid and she said it was because I was cancelling my flight and going with another airline. I kept on asking how I could understand how I wouldn't be getting anything back from the airline that originally cancelled my flight and she said it was because they had booked me on another flight and essentially that was all they needed to do. So rather than paying an addition $700 (full price of paying for new departure tickets) I had them switch my flight to another connection flight with the same airline.

    A friend, two days later, ended up being able to cancel her flight, got a refund, and only paid an addition $100 for the new flight, no connections with a different airline. I called Expedia back to inquire with them about how I was told something completely different, was never being offered or told about a refund and I would be paying a cancelation fee when a friend who also booked via Expedia was never charged this. I ended up stuck on the same connection flight because it could no longer be cancelled. Not even a week later I found out my flight coming home was cancelled and again had to call Expedia to verify the flight change. When I called to inquire about the change on flight home, the woman advised me that there were changes done to my departure flight. I told her that I already knew about it and had spoken to an agent a couple days prior and it was already rebooked.

    She advised me that no it looked like new changes and asked if I wanted to accept the change or cancel it. I asked her repeatedly whether it was in fact a new change and if it was actually able to be cancelled. Every time saying yes and knowing that I had already discussed this flight with another agent a couple days prior. Long story short, she books me on the flight I always was trying to book on... Charges my credit card then says she needs to transfer me to a supervisor for the cancelation. He then says I can't cancel the flight because I already made the change.. Go over everything with him about how the travel agent was the one that assured me it was a new change and I could cancel and now I've paid for two flights to the same destination and clearly can't be on both and would have never booked the new flight had I known I couldn't cancel my other flight.

    He transfers me to a manager who then tells me she will recall the voice recording of the phone call and I could call back in three days (72 hours) time to see what they may or may not do for me depending on what they determine from the call. I could not believe that after all three phone calls and 6+ hours of my time that her answer was to call her back again in three days time... She then proceeded to hang up on me because I told her I was "** irate and annoyed with the situation" and that her only resolution was telling me to call back in three days time and till then I'm sitting with an addition flight charge.

    She had before hanging up on me told me she would send me emails about everything.. which she never did.. So I was then forced to call back and FINALLY got someone who understood the issue, realized that telling me to call back three days later was not a solution and cancelled the flight that had just been booked and refunded me my money. The agents there seem to have no clue what they are doing and the 'manager' absolutely does not know what customer service is or how to address issues. Out of all the people I spoke too, only two of them were competent and ended up helping me with all the issues that their own agents caused. I hope someone listens to the phone call conversation and address this complete embarrassment of an issue so no one else has to deal with it.

    So I came to the wrong airport and missed the flight. Which is my fault, and I always take the blame. But when my assistant checked the details she realized we never got the right confirmation Email and never got the text message that I asked to get from Expedia. So because I had few flights going on there was some confusion.

    Things like that can happen and I called Expedia from the airport to try and figure out what to do because I needed to get back to NYC urgently. They made me wait for 3 hours on the phone "investigating the case" and eventually they said that they did send the Email and that it was all my fault. Of course they couldn't send a prove for sending that Email and they also couldn't provide with an answer for why the text message wasn't sent... They also didn't help me book another flight ticket, nor compensated me for their bad service. I was stuck in the airport for 4 hours due to this call and eventually had to book a flight with another company.

    I booked a flight with Iceland Air through Expedia expecting them to act as a travel agency. My flight got cancelled and Iceland Air told me to contact Expedia because, obviously, I booked through them and the contract is between me and Expedia. After 2 weeks of "trying to reach Iceland Air" I don't hear back from Expedia on any updates.

    Taking the initiative myself, I phone back Expedia for any updates to my case. After 6 hours of being on hold back and forth between agents, all I got were several dropped calls and a "promise" from the agent that they will phone me back if the call dropped (THEY DID NOT). Then an agent came to a resolution for me to purchase a $1,161 one-way flight from London to Vancouver and I will get refunded such that I only paid $420 for it. Fine by me BUT I still don't have a refund from my original flight of which was $410. So now, I'm out over $800 just because my useless travel agency can't seem to reach the airline which is what you use travel agencies for!

    Last time I am using Expedia. I was a huge fan until 2 recent incidents. After my booking in business class, and getting a confirmation, I went to Air France website and realized that I was booked in premium economy, it took numerous calls to Expedia to finally admit their error. Just recently, regarding a name addition on my ticket (to add my maiden name), I was told by someone in their corporate headquarter, that they would take care of it and that Delta allows it. I wish I recorded the conversation, because they are denying what they said.

    I spent over 20 hours on the phone in one week and I am now directly dealing with the airline. As recently as 2 days ago, I spoke to a supervisor in their US headquarter office (ms Bandall), who told me someone from the executive corporate office would call me back within 24h, and I never got a call back. Pay the extra few dollars and stay away from Expedia unless you have 4h spare time a day to speak to some useless people from the all around the world working for Expedia.

I requested a change in dates and in spite of the hotel agreeing and sending me an email to that effect (which I forwarded to Expedia), all I got was automated responses informing me that they were 'trying to contact the property'. I made phone calls to Expedia, write several emails but just received these meaningless replies. Anything is better than Expedia - seriously DO NOT use them.

    My wife and I booked a trip through Expedia.com in June 2019. At check-in, on the return leg of our June 2019 trip my wife and I were shocked to learn that NO carry-ons were allowed without a charge. We were forced to pay an extra $70 to board the aircraft. When we arrived home I wrote the following letter to Expedia. "My wife and I traveled this week with a Expedia booking. In the return leg of our trip, United Flight UA6076 from DFW to IDA, June 4, we were met with a shock at check-in, where we learned for the first time that NO carry-ons were allowed. We were forced to pay an extra $70 to board the aircraft. Our family has traveled the world over the last 25 years. Never have we been charged for carry-ons. This policy alone is outrageous, but the fact that the cost was hidden until check-in is over and above, unethical.

    Naturally, we complained to the United senior staff at the airport. Their response, “Did you book through Expedia?” I said, yes. He then informed me that he receives frequent complaints such as mine, and that, had I booked through United, I would have seen a clear pop-up at the flight booking page indicating this extra cost. But, he added, Expedia buries this point in the body of text on their website.

    To this day, Expedia has never responded to my complaint, despite several follow up emails. My family has booked through Expedia countless times over the years. I admonish you to do right by us and reimburse us for this cost, and also to make the appropriate changes to your website so that no future patrons have to go through this. We would like to continue using Expedia, but cannot emotionally or financially afford to go through this again. Thank you for your consideration." This is inexcusable treatment of customers. Our family will booking all future travel directly with those companies providing the service, and highly recommend that others do as well.

    I booked a flight with Expedia from Singapore to London but because of Visa I could not catch up the onward flight. I called up Expedia, told them about that, after 2 days asked them for refund. They said they can't for return flight so I said ok leave as it is. Then I book another flight, reached London thinking my return flight is already there. In Expedia dashboard the flight was shown and the agent also never mentioned anything nor we received any email. I reached London airport to find out as per airline policy the flight is canceled and I was not informed.

    I called Expedia from airport just realizing that they are not available since it was early morning in Singapore. I ended up paying $500 dollars more for the same flight because of uninformed status of my flight and also the agent decide not to inform us though we called them when the flight was already cancelled by Emirates. Raised concern to Expedia and their reason is, "You never ask, we never told and the emails might be lost somewhere."

I called in the third time and demanded to speak to a manager when I see the ticket status changed from ticketed to on hold.

I reminded him that after several attempts dealing with the receptionist (first complaint started before mid-night) I had to leave at 2 AM and lodge somewhere else, but the guy didn't want to hear reasons, even that I submitted them the invoice for the same night in another hotel. So, I told him that I was recording our conversation and that I would use it as evidence on a Small Claim that I will initiate in Court of Québec, to recover my booking money plus moral and financial damages, up to $15K.

    We purchased an all inclusive trip. When we they finally found our reservation the hotel said it wasn’t all inclusive. Spend 6 hours on the phone with Expedia didn’t do anything except make me angry because they were rude and no help. I purchased the trip protection which was a waste because we wanted to shorten our vacation but would have cost us an extra $800 because Expedia makes their own rules to what the protection plan actually protects worst company to deal with and their corporate manager Jamie ** is so rude I am just at a loss of words.

    First, when you book through Expedia, you have to realize the itinerary they give you is just an estimate and not a confirmed price. Their itinerary says it is the price you'll pay, but that is not always true. Itinerary says: "The total price includes all mandatory taxes and fees." When problems arise, their customer support says: "The price that Expedia quoted to you is just an estimated base price, other fees and taxes are not included." They are completely contradicting what they say in their itinerary. You should also know, when problems arise with the quoted pricing, Expedia will not stand behind their quote. I have 6 emails from Expedia responding to my issue. Each message is one meaningless excuse after another refusing to address the pricing issue.

    Keep in mind that after 24 hours of booking with Expedia, their customer service is virtually useless. I had an issue with a flight that I booked for my mother, where ALL the passenger information entered was for her (date of birth, phone number, address, last name, even payment information belonged to her) EXCEPT for the first name, which I mistakenly entered as my own. It was a 5 letter mistake. Expedia completely refused to help me and said it was an issue to take up with the airlines. Both airlines for the round trip reassured me that only Expedia could help with an issue like that, or even better, they could’ve helped issue my mother a new ticket under her name. They refused to do any of it, and refused to see me and my mother’s IDs to verify correct names and dates of birth. They said that the consequence was mine and that I need to learn to be more careful.

    I understand that policies are in place, but I researched them enough to know that a third party like Expedia can help you in this situation if they choose to. I explained that I do not have the money for a new flight, and Expedia made it abundantly clear that they care a lot more about keeping my mother’s money and meticulously conning us than they do about the customer. This ticket now sits wasted under my name and my mother’s information, and will be an empty seat on the plane. Also for reference, I never received a confirmation for this flight after booking (which would’ve helped in noticing the name mistake) and had to call Expedia 3 times just to resolve getting a confirmation sent. They took blame for this issue and still refused to acknowledge my issue because 24 hours had passed.

    We have used Expedia for years and have been satisfied until this last trip. The cruise was cancelled.

We have never had this kind of a problem with a very expensive trip. We cannot cancel any of the reservations for refunds for hotel and airline tickets. We buy trip insurance through Expedia and it is totally worthless, no resolution if you have a problem. Expedia washes their hands of the issues and tells you to call the insurance company.

Their basis for the price increase was mandatory insurance coverage - which was clearly declined through my booking with Expedia and not needed, nor authorized.

    (c) Spoke to their local Market Manager seems least bothered about this issue and simply redirected to Assistance.

    (d) Tired of sending the payment proof more than 10 times and no response.

    Without our fault why should we suffer and beg to Expedia on every communication to please acknowledge and open our hotel to booktable. Are they doing favour to our hotels???? OR getting benefit from hotel of their margins???

    Tried to book flights but the page said there was a payment problem. Checked my account and $5000 are gone. Called Expedia, they told me they haven't received anything. Wouldn't even hold the price for me until it's sorted out. Have spent 3 hours going back and forth with them and my bank. People on the phone were unapologetic and unsympathetic and offered no compensation for this significant inconvenience. Would pay more money not to deal with them.

    I booked a $1,900 trip, airfare for 3, for my family. The airline cancelled the flight. Expedia notified me that I had options, which was to rebook at a higher cost with multiple stops, but I opted to receive the full refund which was through Aeromexico. However, I was told it would take up to 8 WEEKS to receive a refund. Multiple conversations with Expedia customer service and supervisors were unsuccessful attempts to receive an immediate refund. So Expedia/Aeromexico keeps my $1,900 for 8 weeks, and I will spend $3000 booking new tickets.

    I would expect, at a very minimum, a full, immediate refund, plus a credit for the additional money I will spend to book new tickets. Also I spent hours on the phone, mostly on hold. I will never use Expedia or Travelocity to book travel again. Don't waste your time or money. Go directly to the airline or hotel sites. Avoid the Expedia fees, terrible communication, hassle, completely useless service, and risk of losing your money.

    We booked with Expedia to go to Greece. Our flights were delayed, we were sitting in a plane for two hours and then we landed in London which is where my partner and I were supposed to have a connected flight... It got cancelled. The airline who is partner with Expedia had no compassion of the ordeal they were putting us through. The airline was only moved when I caught an anxiety attack and decided to give us voucher for food and hotel. We were expected by our love ones and reserved hotel on the 18th but we never arrived. Called Expedia customer service and lasted on the phone with them for 2 hrs with no resolution. We also got disconnected and no one had the decency to return my call.

    Somehow Expedia hijacked the Marriott Vacations site as I called the 800 number listed on the site when I needed to speak with someone. I went through the entire booking with the Expedia agent and all was well. After the fact I considered insuring the trip and shortly thereafter I received an email to sign up for the waiver within 24 hours of booking. After several attempts at accepting the offer and receiving a “We are unable to complete your booking. Please try again later.” I finally called and was advised I had to agree to insurance when the trip was booked. I was never offered insurance when I booked the trip.

    That being said I called back to cancel and rebook with the insurance as I saw the same rooms and flights available on the website. I was shocked when upon completion of the reservation I was quoted $11,600 with insurance when I booked the exact same trip yesterday for $9,100 without insurance. Insurance was $500. I was advised by the agent “Michelle” that prices are “subject to change.” I immediately declined and as she was going through the refund process I booked the SAME flight and hotel via Marriott Vacations for $9,500 with insurance. I’ll be dipped in ** before I ever consider booking via Expedia and I look forward to flaming them with all my friends and family and perhaps several online rating sites. Thanks for nothing...

    I recently made a booking to Bulgaria, I used a very known airline search engine, in that engine I specifically removed the Airports I did not want to travel from as it takes too long to travel there. I selected a specific flight, reason being I am traveling with another colleague. There was a link available saying click here to add an Expedia hotel, which I did. I searched for the hotel I wanted and added that, assuming that my previous search criteria and selections were still available. I progress to payment, and after payment I received confirmation of the hotel and the airline, however the airline was specifically the one which I deselected as I can't travel to that airport.

    Raising the issue with Expedia (the party that took my payment), they came back relatively quickly cancelling the hotel but stated they needed 48 hours to discuss with the airline to cancel. They were good in keeping me posted. However I just received a call from their escalations team saying they investigated and their research show I selected that specific airline. They refuse to refund me the money. Upon asking the agent from Expedia the name of the person I could contact to further escalate the issue, her response were that she is the last person in line to escalate to and the outcome is final. I obviously did not agree and again asked who I can contact. To my surprise her answer was: "You can google who you want to escalate to." So fellow consumers, I decided I am not going to accept Expedia's answer - we need to protect our consumer rights! The answer and attitude from Expedia is just not acceptable!!!

But because I didn't check over the confirmation that was emailed to me after the reservation was complete, (received confirmation and immediately saved email) I was at fault.

    Mind you, the Expedia representative at the call center and the 1st supervisor that I spoke with cited that they could see that an error occurred with the reservation and it was considered a "site error" and no fault of mine and transferred me to the corporate rep to change the name on the ticket as indicated on the original reservation. I asked the Corporate rep to send via email the info that she was looking at to me and she then referred me to Expedia's legal department.

    I had my family vacation to Las Vegas and I booked a hotel through Expedia for 3 days. I booked a single itinerary. But what happened Expedia booked the itinerary with the hotel in 2 different bookings. Expedia showed me a hotel rate per night and did multiple booking internally. This made me difficult at the hotel. When I checked in to the hotel, the hotel representative informed me, "You have only booked for 1 day." Then I asked them to check again. They said, "You have another reservation which is the next day." The hotel provided me room for 1 night and asked me to check out the next day. And check in for the new room.

    The next day I went out and checked out carrying all my luggage. The hotel said that the check-in will be only at 3 pm and the room was not ready. I have to wait in the lobby carrying my luggage till 3 pm and wasted my vacation days at Las Vegas. I booked for a Grand Canyon trip, but due to this issue, my trip got canceled. I was waiting at the hotel with my wife and kid for morning to 3 pm to get the room. It was a horrible experience for me.

    After the vacation, I called the Expedia customer service and they took my concern to the manager and the call last for 2 hours to get the manager. They kept on putting me on hold. Finally, I got the manager on the line, and his name was Chris. He patiently listened to my concern and asked me what you are looking for. I did not receive any kind of courtesy or apology for this. After listening to this I said I need compensation at least half the price of my booking. He did not agree and he said he can give me some $100 voucher.

    Comparing my difficulties on that day canceling my precious trip to Grand Canyon and losing one whole day at Las Vegas was not enough for me. If Expedia has courtesy they made the multiple booking internally without notifying me. Actually, Expedia lied or tricked me while booking a single itinerary. This is not at all acceptable and I suggest not go with Expedia anymore, rather there are other booking sites with good reviews. Expedia is Horrible. Don't go for that.

I relayed my confirmation number and the person I was speaking to said Expedia doesn't deal with confirmation numbers. I was transferred several times - once to an individual who put me on hold to call the very number I called. The third person I was transferred to - Fouad - attempted perhaps 5-10 times to send an email to my work and personal account. Finally the email goes through.

    I spent a whole day away from my job dealing with this issue so I asked to speak to their Supervisor. Alex answers the phone and says he's sorry but it was my fault essentially. I should have called earlier. He said I booked this trip at the end of May and it was my fault I didn't deal with this sooner. I have no words.

I figured since I already have a flight coming home on the 8th, I didn't need to purchase another. Come July 3 (the original departing flight) my entire trip was CANCELLED!!

    I called prior to check in to make sure they were informed of the situation and the only thing I got was "you bought basic economy so you don't get a refund or credit. You bought basic economy.... if you don't make your departing flight then how can you get on the return flight?" What if I missed my flight and ended up driving and still needed a way home?! What if I left earlier because something important came up and I was too expensive to change the entire trip?!?! What if my grandmother died!? All this to say, I am very disappointed, dissatisfied, and infuriated by Expedia's customer service. I've been a member for a long time but this is the last straw. I'm taking my business elsewhere.

    When booking our Sicily vacation we did not have any problem. My complaint with Expedia is that if you do have a complaint they ignore you and refer you to a third party. They never assist you should there be a problem with any of the services purchased. Our first problem was encountered when we received an additional charge on our prepaid car rental from EuropCar. They had tacked on a Roadside Assistance Charge that was never discussed nor utilized. When we contacted Expedia we were told that we would have to resolve this with EuropCar who said that was in the original booking that I signed.. That certainly was not the case.

    Our next problem was encountered when an Alitalia representative booked our baggage only to Rome on the return trip home instead of booking them through to our destination. We purchased the Trip Insurance that was to cover baggage loss or delay. Because of the incorrect booking, the baggage was delayed in Rome and never reached us for 3 days later. We had to purchase additional personal items due to the delay and filed a claim with AIG, Expedia’s insurer. The amount was only a little over $200. After weeks of going back and forth with AIG without any answers, we requested to speak to a supervisor. His response was that there was a clause in the insurance contract that states that coverage ends when you reach your destination.

    There appears to be a hole in that logic in that if you have a delay in receiving your baggage, you are defeating the purpose in covering the additional expense once you arrive at your destination. Again, talking to Expedia was worthless since they refer you back to AIG. The lack of concern by Expedia regarding our difficulties with services or coverage that they provided plus the multitude of complaints registered on the internet, leaves us with only one conclusion “DO NOT USE EXPEDIA IN THE FUTURE”. Many of what Expedia should be providing is being offered by the carriers without the same hassle.

Somewhere in the booking process it indicated that it was a shared room, but nothing else. I tried to look into the details but was assured by the private bathroom and private balcony, and studio description. It also says very clearly: Room for One Guest.

    Only when the hotel wrote to me and had a backpackers address I asked whether it was a shared room. Expedia tried to have the hotel reimburse or change the booking which they refused. But they do not assume any responsibility of misleading information and even possibly false advertising. A private bathroom is supposed to be private, not shared with another 5 persons. Same for the balcony. If it was a shared room it should have been clearly stated all along the purchasing process. Moreover, despite feeling cheated I offered to pay for any price difference to sort the problem, but since the hotel will not reimburse the money, Expedia is not assuming any responsibility and will not change the hotel.

    I am having a bad customer-service experience with Expedia but I am quite sure about how it will end. It began on April 04 (2019). I booked two nights at Bay City Motor Inn - in Bellingham. Since I chose Free Cancellation, my Visa account was charged right away. It showed on my following statement. Fast-forward to May 04. We arrived and checked-in at about 20:30. I was asked for my Visa (supposedly) to establish a damage deposit of $100. (U.S.) The next day and a half went alright as we did not 'linger' in room very much. It was a decent but 'dated' room. So, on May 06, about 10am, we checked-out. Counter person again asked for my Visa (supposedly) to credit any previous deposit. I got a receipt for both transactions but just stored them - as I do for any other commercial receipts or cash-register slips. A couple weeks went by and my latest Visa statement arrived.

    I checked over the transactions, as I always do, and there was a Debit for $104.39 ($144.35 CDN) that stunned me. It was from the Bay City Motor Inn. I looked for and found any papers that were processed and available to me. I noticed then that there was NO charge created on May 04 but -- a charge to my Visa was indeed processed on the May 06 paper. I contacted Expedia within two days later and waited another two days for a response. I did get sympathy and a request to send them a copy of my Visa record. I did this and waited several more days. Then, (Expedia) replies to tell me to call such and such toll-free number as they do not deal with such issues via Email.

    Okay, so I wait until next morning (well into June by now) and call the number. I was advised by recording that the daytime customer service requests are rather heavy so perhaps advisable to call at usual slower times of day. (Midnight to 5 am won't work for me). I tried again after 22:30 next night and, after recording advised a 2 minute wait time, I ended up waiting 25 minutes for a 'rep' to answer. The person listened to my complaint and then proposed (he) would contact the Motel - while putting me on 'hold' - again. I waited another 10 minutes and rep came back on to tell me he could not 'reach' the Motel, but would contact them some time overnight and then report back to me (via Email) for sure within a day. Well, it's been about a week now and not a 'peep' from Expedia. I (yet again) emailed Expedia to report my dissatisfaction at being 'ignored'. I got a reply soon after (again) telling me to call the '800' number.

    I sent them a fresh email to offer my increasing dissatisfaction and suggested they start acting responsible and professional and get me results. All I expect them to do (minimally) is to get an answer from Bay City Motor Inn as to exactly what the extra (unauthorized) charge was to my Visa. I have never been charged extra in all our travels throughout Canada and USA - until this past May 06. If this experience turns out bad - as I am now convinced it will - I will go back to Booking or Hotels (dot ca.) Thanks for reading, everyone.

The room and the motel were VERY USED UP and I noticed things like the security outside door was broken, the room was missing things, the toilet seat was broken etc. I went online with Expedia and searched the motel and found out that the room now sold for $115.00 + taxes..

    Early the next morning I contacted Expedia by chat and was told that there was nothing that could be done.. After hearing this I went back online and searched for the hotel again and now found that the room rate for Saturday the 29th of June 2019 was $97.00. I will not be doing anymore business with Expedia or its subsidiaries. This borders on theft by swindle no matter how they want to EXPLAIN themselves.

    I could not reserve two different room types (single and larger double) online on same reservation - so I phoned. The agent booked me two rooms and read back the dates (2 nights). Next morning my confirm reported two nonrefundable reservations for one night. I called to complain and correct. They refused me the same price. I was stuck with nonrefundable 1 night - of course I wanted 2nd night at the same hotel rather than switch hotels. For some bizarre reason it took one hour to book over the phone. Wasted a huge amount of my time and were unable to get me the price I had paid - (Luckily was only $10 increase). DO NOT USE PHONE SERVICE!!! They do not honor their mistakes.

    Wanted to vacation in Cancun Mexico and booked Hotel GR Solaris Cancun which is an All Inclusive Resort through Expedia website. When I showed up at the hotel for check in a few months later, I was asked to pay US $700 in addition to the price I paid online in the Expedia site. The reason the Hotel gave me was my son turned 13 between booking and check in so the rate is different. I called Expedia customer service 2 times and they put me on hold for 5 hours overall between the two calls before they came back with a reason that I entered my son's age incorrectly. This is in spite of the fact that nowhere in Expedia's Website it is mentioned that the Ages of the guests should be as of the check in date and not as of the booking date.

    After I came back from my vacation I followed up with Expedia again. I called Expedia, was on hold for close to 2 hours. At the end of the call the customer service supervisor offered a $200 voucher. I refused to take it as I feel that it is Expedia's mistake and they should refund me the entire $700 difference as their website should have unambiguously prompted me for ages at the time of Check in instead of just prompting for Age. I am seeing a lot of reviews here that indicate that Expedia is not owning their mistakes. Maybe all of us together bringing in a lawsuit against Expedia is not a bad idea. The long customer service hold times itself warrant a lawsuit besides the poor booking experience.

    I am traveling to Ottawa at the end of July and wanted to pay up front for my midsize car rental. I was initially given this option when I was on the phone with Expedia. I then decided to go for an economy car to save a few dollars so I canceled the reservation for the mid-size and made a new reservation for an economy car. I then called Expedia to pay for the economy car right away. The guy I spoke to explained that payment is not due till I picked up the vehicle and that Expedia does not accept payment over the phone, only their website. I thought this was strange because when I made my first reservation l, I was offered the option to pay over the phone by Expedia.

    So I called back again and spoke with a lady. She didn’t want to help me either. She put me on hold for 10 minutes and said “there are no economy cars that accept a pre-payment”. I know she was lying. I also know the first guy I talked to lied as well. Additionally, their phone number options don’t work. I tried 1866 307 7601 and 1 800 409 9154, calling each number several times. I can only imagine how frustrating this would be for clients who have emergency travel issues. I hope that management reads this and provides correct information to their employees. This is the first and last time I go through Expedia. Don’t waste your time with a company where the employees don’t know what they are doing and you can’t even reach them. This happened July 1, 2019.

Yesterday when I arrived to my Hotel, the clerk behind the desk had the same problem with the family in front of me. They also booked through Expedia and the Hotel had no info at all. Once the clerk was ready for me and he found out that I also booked through Expedia and he couldn't find me, I thought he was going to start crying. He said that it happens all the time now and there's nothing that they can do until the owners decide to stop taking Expedia orders.

    Booked a room at a hotel a few months ago for 2 nights for a concert that was happening in Wisconsin, so our room was already prepaid. We only stayed one night, also had insurance in case we needed to cancel.

I knew it was a scam so I had gotten into an argument with this supervisor from India.

    I hung up on her, she kept calling back, after my girlfriend had answered the phone, this Supervisor informed her that because of my attitude on the phone she's going to charge us double. We canceled the card to try to avoid this but she had already charged the card 277.00, the hotel had verified this even though Expedia kept denying it.

    We actually had our reservation at a hotel in Sydney, Australia fraudulently stolen. We received a notice of a change in the reservation. It indicated the dates moved from March to February. We clicked the reservation and found that the destination was not Sydney, Australia (on the main web page) but a non-existent hotel in the Dominican Republic. The reservation indicated the change was made by a Spanish speaking family of 4. We called the hotel directly prior to calling Expedia. The number was bogus. Now comes the bad part. Recognizing our account was hacked Expedia shared with us the reservation was changed over the phone in Spanish - they had the tapes. They also had the fact I was calling in the middle of the dates for the hotel in the DR.

    We lodged a claim. They came back and said that they had done nothing wrong and I would have to pay for the hotel. I attempted on numerous occasions to escalate to their legal department to ensure the fraud was reported. They would not connect me. I was transferred from a call center in the Philippines to a call center in India to a call center in Ecuador.

    I am convinced that this is an inside case of fraud over multiple unaudited call centers. How did they get my account details? Not only did they allow the fraud with sub standard security protocols they did nothing in the middle of the fraudulent activities. They have refused to send me copies of the tapes. Having done the booking through American Express 2 attempts for payments made after my complaints were refused. Use American Express - good anti-fraud protection. Do not use Expedia. It is an unsecured site with highly questionable anti-fraud practices and atrocious customer service. Neither your reservation or your money is safe with Expedia.

    In March 2019, we booked a car rental for Apr 24 – 27 in Hobart, Tasmania. We had written agreement with confirmation number and just before we left for our holidays, We were assured that our reservation was confirmed. Upon arrival at Hobart airport on April 24, 2019, we went to Bargain/Fox Rental Counter and we were rudely told that there was, no reservation and that they cannot help. We requested for an alternate car and the front desk associate - Leith was extremely rude and told us that we had no reservation. We asked him if he could call Expedia and he was again very rude and unhelpful. We explained that we did not have any mobile that was working in the Tasmania/Australia and if he could call Expedia but there was no help.

    Finally, we managed to get Expedia’s Australia numbers (800-319-4834 and 800-220-8176) and tried to call using the public call box. We were unsuccessful to connect to Expedia on the Australian numbers; one was not in-service and the other one kept ringing. Then, we tried calling on our mobile phones. We called the North American Expedia number (1-866-307-7601) and we got through to support line. After several mins, we managed to leave a number for the support staff to call us. Vady called us back and we spoke to him. He confirmed that our reservation was valid and that he would be calling the car rental company. Unfortunately, Vady kept us on hold for over several mins (55+ mins) until we got disconnected.

    We called the support line again and the hold time was over an hour. After waiting several mins, we finally spoke to another associate Oliver. He also checked Expedia records and confirmed our reservation. He then put us on hold for another 50+ mins and the line again got disconnected. We once again tried calling (3rd time) and this time we spoke to Travis. Once again, the same situation occurred. By this time, we had wasted over 3 hrs and we were frustrated and upset that Expedia was unable to confirm with car company right away and that they didn’t try to call us back.

    By this time, we had already incurred several long distance and roaming charges. Since there was no call back from Expedia, we decided to rent another car from another car rental company. It was an upsetting situation which cost us a lot financially. We were unable to join the group for our tour due to delays, we had to re-rent a more costly car and we had spent several dollars on long distance calling to Expedia.

    When we returned home, we wrote several emails and called Expedia several times but the only resolution they could come up was a $50 voucher for Hotel or package booking when we ended up paying for over $500 extra for a car rental which was supposed to be $200 for 3 days. Even then they said that they would deposit in our acct but nothing came through. To-date (June 2019), the problem with Expedia is not resolved. Their customer service is terrible, they leave you on hold for several hours and cannot seem to be able to resolve any issues. On our Aussie and NZ trip we booked 9 car rentals with several other companies and 1 rental with Expedia. Every car rental company and reservation was great and we had no problems except with Expedia.

    Don't use Expedia for anything. They have no regard or empathy for customers and it is extremely hard to get hold of them. Emails are either never read and replied. Phone calls take forever. They do it purposely so you eventually give up. Read the kind of problems people have encountered in the past. We were shocked and surprised at their customer service provided with a company of such a caliber. We will never use Expedia ever again.

    Where do I begin? Let’s try from the beginning and try to be as short as possible. I booked a trip to Punta Cana for Aug which include flight and hotel from Expedia. With all the recent new of people dying in Dominican Republic my wife and I elected to change our family vacation elsewhere. We called Expedia and we had so much difficulty just cancelling our trip. Every time I called which was like 4 times for multiple hours, I got a "Sorry we can't cancel the flights."

    Finally my wife had to call and get really loud with them and they finally cancelled the Hotel (which we got our money refunded), for the flights we got a credit to travel within 1 year anywhere in the USA or international as long as the new flights were same or lesser value and if I selected to book more expensive flights I would have to pay the difference, which we were perfectly fine with. Now this is where it got REALLY REALLY bad with Expedia customer reps, supervisors and Corporate office.

    A day after we cancelled the Punta Cana trip and being awarded the flight credit, my wife and I decided we were going to travel to Orlando (Disney World) with the family and we called Expedia with the flight information at hand. Then the representative tells me that the flights need to be International flights as the original flight was international which was not what they told us as I previously explained. Well, I was not very happy as I felt they were not being honest and they were just giving me a hard time.

    The representative put me on hold for about 2 hours and call got mysteriously disconnected and I never received a callback. I called back about 4 times and each time I would be put on hold for hours and then guess what? I got disconnected. 1 of those times I did get a callback but again they were not honoring the credit of the flight. The following day, I asked to get transferred over to Corporate and I thought that all was going to be resolved as the representative was finally taking the new flight information but then he put me on hold and guess what people, I was put on hold for over 3 hours and I finally elected to hang up.

    Expedia customer service has to be the worst I have dealt with ever. I then started researching about these types of incidents with Expedia and I basically found out that they had done this type of "put on hold and hang up" to other customers and in one of the post I saw how they were able to solve their problems. I had to call my credit card company where I went to explain what happened and which took 5 minutes for them to tell me that they will refund me the money that Expedia was not honoring. 5 MINUTES people!!!! Expedia should be embarrassed for treating their customers like this and people should just try to stay away from booking with them.

On rebooking, apparently they only cancelled the first flight of a round trip, we got charged $60 to rebook the one they properly cancelled, and their solution was to give us the "phone number for the 3rd party insurance company" to see if they would refund some of our money, but since it was a "no-show" they couldn't help us...

    All in all, even though we cancelled in plenty of time, paid for extra insurance, and spoke to very nice service agents on the phone for over 2 hours, their system is too convoluted for them to help us in any way. I had always chosen to book with Expedia so things were all safely in one system. Unfortunately, that system defrauded me by offering me protection, only to deliver a "phone number for a 3rd party insurer".

Unfortunately Jet Airways suspended all their domestic and international flights from April 17, 2019.

We request you to kindly get in touch with your travel portal team or travel agent for a refund".

I got one from Expedia and I got one from Orbitz. I think they're owned by the same group at this point. The ads offer me 50% off on hotel reservations. They also said to be another 20% off if I booked the hotel and car together. Well that sounded like a deep discount so I thought I'd check it out.

    This is a short review. They both lied. Within an hour before I saw these ads I had already booked a car and hotel separately. In all cases and all combinations the car and hotel booked separately was cheaper than booking them together. On either Expedia or Orbitz the 50% off on hotels was simply nonsense!

I tell to each that I have on the phone (2 calls by day) that data protection and security were violated, that there is a fraud but they just send me templates to contact another department. Conclusion: Data protection is inexistent at Expedia and fraud is encouraged by all the teams.

    Expedia is a great website to book hotels. The website is easy to use and I find the reviews to be accurate. Whenever I've had to make an itinerary change they are very easy to deal with even with last minute changes due to reasons beyond our control. We've been delayed and had to change accommodation to a different city and their customer service is very easy to deal with and very professional. I have never been disappointed.

    In full disclosure, I take full responsibility for not checking my email itinerary. With that said, I have booked tickets through Expedia several times with no issue. My husband and I are traveling to our daughters military graduation in Great Lakes, IL. Filled out all fields with correct info, i.e. names birthdates and gender. When it asked me to sign into our account with Expedia, the site overwrote my information with my husband’s, the owner of the account. So my husband has 2 tickets in his name. The only reason I know this is because I NEVER use my husband’s full middle name. He used it only to set up the account years ago.

    Again, I take full responsibility for not checking the email once booked. When calling customer service, I was told there was nothing they could do and I needed to contact the airline. Airline stated I needed to contact Expedia. Called Expedia, was left on hold for an hour and a half and was finally told I should call back in the morning. In fairness, I was given a choice to remain on hold for another hour or two. Tired, disappointed that all anyone wants to do is pass the buck and not truly help anymore. I kept being told due to policy, there was nothing they could do. That is a true cop out.

    Fox Rental Car was the worse rental car experience I ever had in Miami. They have hidden cost, poor inventory and unfair service. Literally I felt assaulted. I reserved a car for three days with a due at pick-up of $92.90 and I ended paying to Fox Rental Car $161.25.

    Second, they give me a car with more than 60,000 miles, yes, 60K miles. Third, the employee was demanding all the time and forcing to assume all their tariff cost under penalty for any single issue may occur to the car. They forced me to leave a secure deposit of $118.26 to be reimbursed at drop-off the car. Employee, named Dennis, didn’t care that I hold a full coverage car insurance in addition to the collision insurance I took with Expedia ($30 cost). I felt assaulted. The company is not located in the Car Rental Center, so you must take two shuttles to get there. It was 2:15 am and their shuttle was not in the parking lot and nobody answer the phone, so I had to take a Uber service to go to the company to pick-up the car. I not recommend this company.

    On the recommendation of Expedia in an area where we were not familiar with hotels the Expedia representative recommended a hotel on Long Island NY. We requested a location near a hotel where we attended a wedding and explained we needed a room for a couple in their late 20’s. Upon arrival at check-in the counter was behind a bulletproof glass. License and credit card information was submitted under a plastic shield. A warning was posted on the check-in counter which stated “Per New Your State Law, vagrants may not exceed a 28 day stay”.

    We found out that the rooms could be rented by the hour. We were unable to view the room before check-in. Room was filthy, floors were sticky where no reasonable person would take shoes off, odor of cigarette smoke and stale liquor stenches were in the air, the air, door lock did not work, flies were dead on the floor, towel rack was broken and property was unsafe. Needless to say due to safety reasons, no one stayed at the hotel.

    Expedia was aware of the Hotel condition and safety concerns as cited by their own site reviews and rating of a 1 ½ star. Expedia knowing the foreseeable danger ignored the warnings of the reviews, never verified the condition of the property, and proceeded endangering their clientele. Furthermore Expedia refused to provide a refund stating the hotel would not provide a credit. Stay away from this travel service.

    Booked flight + hotel + car rental and even added travel protection package & collision damage plan for a trip to Orlando, FL. I was given an itinerary # with a summary where it showed a round trip for four travelers: 2 adults, 2 children; but then, I was charged more than summary amount on bank account. Their initial excuse was the children were not added to the plan, which is false because they were also listed on the itinerary and the airline had tickets ready for them. I was told that the price changed while I was booking...and that was the reason for the extra charge.

    So basically, while you are filling out your information, the price will go up half a thousand dollars! They couldn’t come up with a more ridiculous excuse. A month after my booking and back from the trip, I sign in to Expedia again, clicked on the itinerary and still shows original amount. Why on Earth do they claim that it's supposed to be more? 2 1/2 hrs on the phone going back and forth with multiple representatives and "Corporate Specialists" to finally be told they won't honor the original price. Another thing, when picking up the car rental I noticed that I would be saving half the money if I'd booked directly through them.

It has been 3 months I have not received my refund yet. They are repeating the same story to check with ETIHAD's accounting department (Case ID - **) and ETIHAD said to check with Expedia. I talked to one of the customer representatives today she said she will call ETIHAD behalf of me and will find out the status and kept me on hold and said if the call will drop she will call me back.

    Never book a flight with Expedia. I had to help my parents with the flight reservations and we never had problems with Expedia before. But IF you ever run into flight changes or any situation where Expedia could lose money, they will just blame the airlines and say there's nothing they can do on their end. In the end my parents had to book a new flight a day before their date of departure (paying an extra $3000) and I incurred a $300 international phone call bill even though I dialed their international toll free number or called their number with my local area code.

    What happened was my parents' flight was cancelled by Air China (transit point before flying into Seoul, South Korea) a week before its intended date of departure. I called on behalf of my parents asking if they can find another flight. They kept putting me on hold, saying they need to call Air China then Asiana. So I stayed on the line, on average waiting for 3 hours. Then Expedia would get back to me saying Air China won't pick up or that call hours have ended and ask me to call again tomorrow. So I did that for 4 days straight. Same thing happening over and over until eventually my parents gave up and had to cancel their flight with Expedia and book a new ticket because there was only 1 day left.

    It's one thing had Expedia notified my parents of the flight cancellation on Air China's part. I purposefully withheld information so that they don't twist the truth around. This new Expedia agent I was speaking to was not aware of when the email from Expedia went out to my parents. He was under the impression the email went out 2 months in advance which is when Expedia found out about the cancellation by Air China. But for some reason, Expedia didn't bother letting their customers know about it until a week before the departure date. So I argued Expedia holds some responsibility for negligence but they just said things like this happen in life and they we should speak to Air China directly. But the problem was that we bought the tickets through Expedia not Air China and so my argument was that it was the miscommunication between the two of them that's the problem so my parents should be compensated. This did not happen.

    I asked them, "Then why would anyone book through you guys when all do you do blame your business partners and don't take any responsibility for anything?" They just kept saying sorry but that there's nothing they can do. It's quite clear in my opinion that Expedia's business model is a dying one. They're essentially an incompetent travel agency who moved all of their business online and don't have any direct line of communication with the hotels and airlines they claim to work with. They're just the middle men who takes fees from older people who aren't as proficient in the travel game. I was able to get my parents a $100 voucher. Funny part is, it was only applicable to the hotels booked through Expedia. This was completely useless of course. But I figured my parents may use that so negotiated to get that. This voucher also expires in a year btw.

    Also, when I called back about my phone bill, they said there's nothing they can do (obviously being the useless company they are). I had called the customer service number that started with my area code. When I called asked why my phone service provider charged me a $300 dollar international phone calling bill, they said sorry but that's the provider's problem not theirs. I'm very careful about international calling but to be sure, I asked the guy if perhaps this call is also international even though I'm using the proper area code. Hilarious enough, he said yes it's international and that I'm calling India. I said, "How am I calling India when I called a number that begins with a South Korean area code?" He said, "I don't know but this is India" and that I'll be getting charged for the current call too. Then he had the audacity to ask if he can put me on hold when I asked to speak to his supervisor.

    Btw, their supervisors are also a bunch of useless "I'm sorry but we can't do anything" people. The whole company is based on blaming their business partners and will not take responsibility for anything. Never use Expedia. They'll run out of business soon since they actually hold no power over anything. But avoid them if you can because they'll rip you off at any corner.

They make it absolutely as difficult as possible. I don't believe this is by accident, but rather by design - and for a few hundred bucks - not worth it.

    You need to call, and get directed to their Price Match submission page. With approval, you can submit your claim including PDFs showing before & after rates. They will run you through multiple requests for different information and each time, there is a different name attached to the email thread on their end along with a new and different request for information. This went on for 2 weeks, until finally they offered a refund. Gaaah! Never again.

They won't even send a bank cheque to my home address or take my account details. To make it It gets better, I was just told they don't have a customer complaints department that customers can directly contact and talk to. What a load of rubbish.

As a longtime customer of Expedia (for several years I was a GOLD member), I was surprised to recently realize that the first time I needed their assistance I was not able to receive it. I used EXPEDIA's service to rent car on April 25th 2019 in Rome, Italy (Itinerary: **). The rental company was Dollar (serviced in Rome by Hertz). All went well of my side – I returned the car with even more fuel than what was in the car when I took it. However, I soon discovered that the rental company has charged me 100.83 Euro because I "neglected" to fill the fuel tank.

    On May 8th I sent an email to Expedia with the relevant documents showing that the car was returned with even with more fuel than received (I received – 6/8 fuel tank, I returned 7/8). Meaning that the charges by Rental Company are wrongful. Since this email, Expedia has been dragging their feet in any possible way and finally on May 31st I got an email explaining that Dollar "have denied your refund request" and that EXPEDIA "act only as an agent". I am now wondering why should I bother with EXPEDIA services if they are not able to protect and represent you? This a big disappointment for me since you expect the full protection in case you are being "rubbed" because of a transaction brokered by EXPEDIA. Haim **.

    I booked a transatlantic flight (Brussels to Halifax with Iceland Air) through Expedia.be. The flight got cancelled but Expedia took no ownership of the problem whatsoever. They didn't even try to book us on another flight. You think you put your trust in a big company but they handle unforeseen circumstances as a bunch of amateurs. Do yourself a favour and DON'T BOOK WITH EXPEDIA! They will leave you hanging if things go wrong and will take no ownership of anything.

    DO NOT USE EXPEDIA: REPS LIE ALL THE TIME AND REFUNDS ARE A LIVING HELL! I bought a $4000 trip from Expedia, then tried to get a refund about a week afterwards when I found the same flights for $1000 elsewhere. I had to spend 12 hours on the phone with the Expedia reps to get my money back as a credit (only usable through Expedia, for the same airline).

    During that time the Expedia reps tried their absolute hardest to get me to stop pursuing a refund by giving me misleading information, long wait times, and occasionally outright lies. I was only able to confirm that a refund was possible thanks to the American Airlines phone reps. Now, every time I try to use this credit with Expedia, they give me the same runabout for 2 hours. I have been blatantly lied to multiple times in this process regarding: The existence of my Expedia credit, the amount of credit remaining, the eligibility of a certain flight for use with the credit, the credit rollover policy, and American Airlines policy.

    I always book all my vacation or hotel stay with Expedia. I recommend all my friends to use Expedia. I like that when you book a car rental or hotel if the price drops you get an email from Expedia on the price drop.

    Sometimes it's not even worth it since the prices are the same as when you go on the website of the hotel you will be staying at. And sometimes if you find a great deal it is worth using the app, it just depends on the day and luck I guess.

    I booked a hotel room and when we arrived at the hotel were told there were no rooms available. We slept in a Walmart parking lot that evening due to this. The staff was not helpful and when I contacted Expedia they were rude. I had to speak to a supervisor to obtain a refund.

    Very easy to place the travel booking on-line and the round-trip price was very reasonable. There really were no extra services offered and on the return flight there was a 2 hour layover which resulted in a very long travel day.

    Overall I've used Expedia numerous times. I like how they create an itinerary page where you can reference your travel plans. Very useful. I like how the site shows you how many others are reviewing similar flights to give you an idea how popular a destination is at a specific time.

    The website is not very user-friendly so navigating to find what you want can sometimes be a little difficult and the prices are almost always easier to beat with other competitor websites so I very rarely use it.

    DO not book any airline flights via Expedia. Once you book, you cannot make any changes including upgrades. I made a mistake of booking European travel on Expedia instead of directly with airlines. One of them was Norwegian. The only class available on Expedia was economy. I booked it then contacted Norwegian for an upgrade to premium. They said that seats were available, but because I booked with Expedia, the third party had to upgrade my seats. After spending over 2 hours on the phone with Expedia they were unable to change my seats. Furthermore they refused to either provide credit for future travel or a refund. I had to buy brand new tickets for $1200 instead of paying $58 for upgraded seats. I am following this up with Consumer Protection Agency and Federal Trade Commission.

    We booked and paid Expedia for 4 nights hotel. Booking was made through Air Canada which uses Expedia for its hotels. Upon arrival to hotel: "We are sorry but we overbooked, the hotel and will try to get another... You booked through Expedia and we honor other reservations first." Three hours later they found another hotel (midnight had come and gone). The lesson: beware that Expedia reservations are the lowest priority for chain hotels. AND there is no solution as Expedia and the chain say: "Take us to small claims court" or arbitration. Try to find a human at Air Canada or Expedia. GOOD LUCK. Moral: Book through hotel websites.

    The booking was fine, and I realize it's what Expedia is made to do, but I way overpaid for my entire trip. I'm an inexperienced traveler. As my trip unfolded I realized I could have had a much better trip at half the cost. I think research needs to be done on Expedia's part to ensure their customers aren't being taken advantage of. As an example; I booked a round trip fare to and from our hotel at a cost of $130. I soon discovered I could have merely could have got a taxi or Uber for $10 one way. I realize I, myself, should have done more research on my trip, but, as I stated earlier, I'm an inexperienced traveler. I felt I was taken advantage of.

    I booked a Hotel on Expedia.ca May 21st, the option selected said free cancellation until May 24th. May 22nd I attempt to cancel the reservation however the cancel option is no longer available. I call Expedia and their customer service claims they can't reach the hotel. I email the hotel directly, May 23rd the Hotel replies to me that they can cancel as long as Expedia contacts them directly. I call Expedia immediately to inform them of the Hotel's offer, they deny my request to forward them the email and instead insist they need to contact the hotel directly and must wait 48 hours for a reply (this is strange to me since they replied to me within 24 hours, however I take it as the May 24th cancellation deadline is no longer on the table). May 25th I call Expedia to follow up, system is conveniently down for maintenance and service agents can't look into the issue.

    May 26th...system is down for maintenance again, I am told to call back in 4 hours (02:00 am local time). May 27th I call Expedia and am told the hotel has denied the cancellation and refund (they will not forward me the e-mail proof as was promised by the initial call), instead I am told to email the hotel directly but they refuse to provide me an email address to include them (possibly avoiding a paper-trail in their mischievous way of obtaining commissions). This company habitually misinforms their customers for profit, their phone lines and website are set up in a way to entrap callers & browsers into selecting options which lead to extra costs. There are other business that offer a better experience with comparable deals.

    For their customer service personnel, Expedia uses people from a country where they speak very broken English, and have an accent which is so strong that it is very difficult to communicate with them in English. They booked us in the WRONG hotel, and then refused to provide a refund. Because we have a choice, we will not use Expedia in the future.

    I have been using Expedia for my travel needs every week for well over a year. I finally had a slight change to one of my reservations and tried to make a change to my reservation one week in advance. I purchased the $19 Protection plan Expedia offers when I bought the ticket originally. The only way I could get my money back was to file a lengthy claim with Travel Guard, the insurance company and jump through hoops to make it happen. Since the amount I would be getting back was only $65, I let it go. Not worth the time and effort. Just keep in mind that Expedia will not help you even if you purchase the Travel Guard. It is a waste of time and money. The worst part for me is I bought this "insurance" multiple times and used Expedia for a year before I needed to make a change. And when I finally need their help, all they could give me was a phone number to the insurance company. I'll be going directly through the airline now.

    We booked 3 rooms through Expedia a week before our trip. The email from Expedia stated "hotel reservation confirmed, no need any further action". Then at 5pm arrival at the hotel to check in, we were told our reservations were not shown in the hotel system! We immediately called Expedia and the agent talked back and forth to his manager. We waited for one and half hours but the Expedia was not able to find us any hotel. We are a large group with seniors and toddlers. This totally wasted our time and ruined the trip. It was the first time we used Expedia and definitely would be the last as well.

    I booked a trip on Expedia for a friend and I to go to Israel. When I went to book it, it said, "You got double points if you booked through the app." That wasn't the whole story. You needed to book through the app & join membership rewards. I told Expedia what I'd done. They said, "No problem. Join now and we'll still honor the double points." After I got back from my trip my points didn't show. I kept getting told they'd be credited but Never happened. Finally they said they'd give me some credit. Not what the company told me. That was 2 roundtrip tickets to Israel plus 2 domestic flights. I won't use them again.

    I attempted a hotel booking. Expedia emailed a confirmation which showed the wrong date. I immediately called. Even after close to an hour on the phone they did not get it corrected. The customer service person sounded like a scammer. I doubt that they will refund as promised, and when I went to the hotel desk they gave me a different story. It was so alarming I had to cancel my credit card. STAY AWAY!!! Expedia will fail if it continues this way.

    My wife and I booked a trip to Lebanon. In the beginning, all went through but after one week money was sent back to credit card and we called Expedia and one agent claimed that our previous booking has fallen and we have to make a new one. We asked him many times if he was sure what he’s saying and said yes. As a result, We proceeded to book again and for our surprise after another week we realized our credit card was charged again previous reservation and new one. We called them again and they said that we shouldn’t have made two reservation because now airline doesn’t want to cancel it and they don’t want to get us back the money. They literally charged us twice a reservation. And we are due more than 6000$ on debt by their fault. We’ve waiting for more than a week to be contacted by head office. Very disappointed. Never ever will use the app again.
