    Dont ever book with Expedia. Not only did they cancel our connecting flight they then want you to pay them to phone in to reimbursed. And there is seldom anyone there. We had to stay over in the connecting city and then bus instead of fly. 24 hours later. Best to go with your local agent. But never with these greedy people.

    Contacted this vendor and explained in detail where and who would be staying in the room. The reservation was for July and I booked it in March, so plenty of time in between. I happened to be in the area today and saw the hotel that I had been booked at. Well it was miles from where we wanted to be and NOT on the beach!! I called to cancel and asked the agent to search the correct area. He found a Marriott Villa just 1 mile from where we want to be and was $189 per night. At least that was what he told me. He said that I could pay when we arrive at the hotel in July, and that my confirmation for this new reservation would be sent out to me.

    Hours went by and no confirmation for the new location! Called back again, and of course got a different agent, he disconnected me after a 10 minute discussion. Then I called again and asked for a supervisor. She disconnected me after 15 min. I called again, and again. Only to hear "SO sorry if you didn't get a confirmation number. You will have to pay what the prices are at the moment!!! Really, so the 1st guy put me in the wrong location, then the one who cancelled it promised me "the perfect room" but he didn't make the reservation??? WTF!!

    We booked a trip to Mexico through Expedia. The first leg of the flight to Atlanta was delayed by the previous day's weather. We were going to miss our connection to Mexico City. We asked Expedia to work on changing our booking so we could get to Mexico the next day. We decided to take the delayed flight to Atlanta and spend the night there; there would be no other way to get to Atlanta for several days, otherwise.

    While we were in the gate area, Expedia canceled our flight to Atlanta. We don't know why. Our luggage went without us. That's lost, now. Diana, the woman who was 'helping' rebook the Atlanta to Mexico portion of the trip dropped the call. There were 3 fake call-backs (I assume their system makes three attempts); each was an immediate hang-up on their end. We didn't discover that they'd canceled our flight until we tried to board the plane. This scuttled the vacation. We called them when we returned home. Expedia offered to rebook flights at triple the price--last-minute rates. Aeromexico gave us a partial refund on the return flight. But since, it wasn't their fault, they held onto the lion's share of the fare. We lost the hotel fee. Total loss for this non-vacation was $1,400.

    So, our experience is that booking with Expedia was simple enough. But, when there's any complication, they became like the DMV, except that they wouldn't accept responsibility for any of it. They're not the airlines that they represent. Once they (Expedia) canceled our flights (which they were not supposed to do), they were helpless to reinstate them. They blamed the problem on every other thing. This was our Expedia experience as we saw it: vacation canceled, luggage sent out into oblivion gone and $1,400 lost.

    You simply cannot trust that their bookings are real. Not one, not two, but three "completed" bookings which were (and still are) very clearly listed in my account history as well as in "My Trips" either vanished or had un-openable vouchers. I secured my airport to hotel shuttle over a week in advance. But I noticed a few days before the flight, the link to the itinerary gave nothing but error messages; a vague message that "We cannot complete your request at the time, try back later". Because the shuttle was still listed in "My Trips" I tried accessing it by entering the itinerary #. Both on the app and on the regular site, and still no good. That time the error message said that the itinerary didn't match my email account (which was nonsense and literally impossible). So with a ghost booking sitting in my account but with no actual proof of purchase the whole thing was unredeemable.

    And really, I'm not even sure the booking was real since the driver never showed up. 2nd failed booking was for a 4 hour food & wine tasting tour I'd set up for Portugal. The day before I went to try the voucher to print it, and sure enough the link gave me the "try again later" error message. Entering the itinerary # didn't work either. I couldn't even show to to the tour and explain my problem to the tour company because meet up location was inside the voucher. I had to call customer service (not free outside the US and Canada) because their online support doesn't handle anything regarding refunds or itinerary changes. The automatic email you get in return says they will try their best to get someone in touch in 24 hrs. My activity was to start in 1 hr, so that wasn't going to work. After explaining my situation to the rep, her system crashed before she could even acknowledge she understood the problem.

    I waited 20 minutes because now the support line needed support from another dept. She even told me that that person in her dept wasn't at work yet so we needed to wait for him to arrive. The call cost me $90 at the hotel. The rep actually called the tour company and asked for them to return my money as if the booking was their fault. They obviously refused and told her that this falls on Expedia, just as I'd tried to explain. Once both me and the tour company explained that the faulty links were the problem they said they'd handle the refund.

    Sadly I'd also purchased a bike our via Expedia so we had to do this trust exercise once again the following day. I had a printed our voucher this time, but once I arrived to the activity my tour group had gone because Expedia listed it for 3PM when it was actually 2PM. The owner of the bike company saw my printed Expedia voucher with the huge 3PM booking time splayed across the reservation and shook his head. He said he has problems with Expedia all the time, you can't trust their bookings and clearly he is correct.

    First of all, I've been customer with Expedia since 2004. My family and I TRAVEL AT LEAST THREE TIMES A YEAR, and always with Expedia. This time, I booked the trip to Italy for Christmas vacation. Two weeks later received email from Expedia that my flight is canceled, and I need to call as soon as possible to confirm new flight, which Expedia. I called and had very bad luck to speak with unprofessional agent, name Heshem. He put me on hold for three hours... wasn't able to help me, and suggest me to cancel my trip with my money back guaranty. I told him, I don't want to cancel, I took vacation from work... and planned the trip, all I'm asking is to find similar flight I booked original.

    Then he put me on hold for another two hours... I hung up, and called again Expedia, and thank God, very nice agent, name Dana helped me for 5 min. She found similar flight with no hassle!!! After four hours agent Heshem called, and said that he is sorry and he wasn't able to find similar flights... and I told him that "before you call customers check my profile first, everything is fixed already, and it took 5 min." I dealt with him whole day with no result... Horrible... Horrible... Horrible... Will never spend my money here anymore!

It took me close to two hours to find the hotel where my reservation was made. I had to call every Hampton Inn and Embassy hotel in Jax.

    I'm writing to WARN CONSUMERS, who work hard to earn their MONEY, not to go with Expedia when booking anything. Expedia has now ripped me off for the THIRD time, spent $700 on a CONFIRMED hotel room, for 2 different rooms. When we called Expedia to make a small change, they had advised that one room was booked, yet my booking clearly states that I had booked TWO rooms. I find the customer service representatives like to err on the side of incompetence. When asked to make a small change such as switching dates over to extend one room booking, the incompetent Expedia rep failed to communicate that he was CANCELLING the other room altogether, but where was the refund for such cancellation? So now, we're out 1 room plus $400.

    They offered to rectify the issue by booking 2 rooms, but in 2 separate hotels, which completely defeats the purpose of why I had booked 4 months in advance, so that we could have 2 rooms at the same hotel. This is not the first time this has happened. If you book through Expedia, it's guaranteed you will not have good customer service and any changes you need to make will not be done. Save your pennies and go with another service provider or go through hotel directly.

    I booked 5 tickets on Turkish Airlines from Dubai to Lisbon and paid online. After 6 hours and a half I received an email that my booking was cancelled! I called their office in USA and stayed on the line (I paid) for 1 hour and 28 min with the supervisor who blamed my bank for not authorizing the amount and the only solution he offered is to re-book the tickets for higher fare!!! He did not want to believe that the amount was blocked and authorized as confirmed by my bank. The same issue happened after he charged my card (again) while I was with him on the phone to make the new booking! My card was charged $4,062 first time and the second time it was charged $4,326.10, yet the ticket was not issued! He then started to call the airlines to see what is happening but there was no answer. The last resort for him was to contact the ticketing dept at Expedia to see what the problem is and he said he will call me back.

    He wrote to me after 2 hours (when I sent a complaint message to their Facebook account) and informed me that the tickets were issued finally at the original fare and they paid me $140 to compensate me!!! I still have both amounts blocked on my card and the timing of the new tickets is different (5 hours layover instead of 1.5 hours in my original booking) let alone the 5 hours stress, phone calls and emails I spent with the customer service who was just trying to blame my bank! My advice to everyone is to avoid booking on Expedia and similar websites. We think they follow international standards but in fact they just fool people by their slightly cheaper prices. I will book only through the airlines' websites from now on even if I pay the double. It was the worst experience ever and I was about to risk the whole trip!

    I bought a package on March 26 from Expedia to travel on 28 March. Got email confirmation as usual as have used Expedia in the past as well. My credit card was charged as well. On 28 March at 1 am, few hours before travel, got an email from Expedia saying my tickets are not there. I called the Customer Care number provided only to be told by very rude agent (somewhere in Philippines) that it is what it is and all he can do is book again for about $400 more.

    He first told me that money was never charged to my Credit card for which I gave him proof for. Then after putting me on hold for over 40 minutes at 1 am in morning, came back to tell me that Expedia cannot do anything and is not obliged to provide me with they got paid for. Asked him to pass the call to supervisor and he declined. Called again and got another agent who passed me on to Customer care agent who was actually embarrassed and admitted it is Expedia's fault but unfortunately does not have the ability or authorization to make it right. Bottom line is Expedia will take your money and may not deliver the product. I am in process to explore what my options are in this case.

Lucky I took screenshots of the round trip. After spending an hour more with customer service and trying to figure out the problem thru language accent obstacle, the lady was able to see the problem and book my round trip.

    Hotel Oui Go DON'T GO!! - I weighed whether or not I would write a review of this hotel, as it had mostly great reviews, but in all honesty the way my husband and I were treated at this establishment was deplorable. We booked the hotel for one evening, as we were passing through the area. The hotel was pricey considering all it was, was a room and a light breakfast, but it was only one evening, and we didn't get away much.

    My husband is retired from the military very recently. He was medically released, as he has Rheumatoid Arthritis, and PTSD. He has a service dog for both these conditions. She aides him physically, and mentally. It has been very difficult for my husband to be out in public for many years, but since he's had his service dog, he has been slowly acclimating to public life. She is NOT a pet, and it not treated as one, as she has a very important job to do. When we checked in that evening the gentleman working the front desk notified us that pets were not allowed in the hotel. My husband told him that she was a service dog. The gentleman then said, "Oh OK that's fine then." We checked in, went for dinner, came back to our hotel and went to bed.

    As every evening, my husband's service dog sleeps on her pillow we bring for her beside my husband. She is trained to wake him from the night terrors he experiences from being overseas. She does her job well, and is very trained. She is trained to stay in one spot all evening, not jump on furniture, urinate or defecate except when outside. When my husband went down in the morning to take his dog outside, he was informed when he was coming back in, by the owner Mr. Alex ** that she was not allowed in the hotel, or up in the room. My husband informed him that she was a service dog, and she was allowed in, and was checked in the night before with no problem. He also informed him that we were told the night before that it was OK. He told my husband that pets were not allowed in his hotel. Mr. ** failed to understand the difference between a pet, and a service dog.

    We came back down for breakfast, and packed our bags, and went downstairs to check out. Mr. ** asked how our stay was. I told him it was fine, except for the treatment about my husband's service dog. He responded by aggressively saying, "Don't get me started on that, my partner will talk to you." His partner then said the room needed to be inspected, and so I told him I would go with him. All this was done in their lobby/breakfast area in front of all of the other guests. His partner Mr. Gilles ** and I went upstairs and inspected the room, twice. He could see nothing wrong with the room, of course. My husband's service dog is once again fully trained, and we of course would never leave a mess behind.

    We came downstairs where I told Mr. ** this treatment was deplorable. I asked him if he would treat someone with a guide dog in this manner, and proceeded to say that my husband's dog was a pet, and was not allowed in his hotel. I asked why we’re permitted to check in, if this was so?! He responded by saying that animals of any kind were not allowed in his hotel. He said, "Whatever you want to call it, it's still a pet, and it's not allowed." I informed him that he was indeed wrong, that service dogs are not pets, and have the rights that pets don't have. He also said that people with wheelchairs wouldn't stay at his hotel either because of all the stairs.

    I responded telling him that he was being rude, and that my husband served our country for his freedom, and to berate us in this manner in front of his other guests was inexcusable. He then proceeded to tell us that he was going to charge us a fee for cleaning up the room. I told him that a pet fee is for damage done, as my husband's service dog had not damaged anything, he could not charge this fee. We were also checked in the evening before without any issues. Mr. ** was so aggressive that my husband phoned the police. Mr. ** then followed me outside, still aggressive telling us that he was charging our credit card for damages. There was no damages to charge for.

    The police officer told Mr. ** as much, that he could not charge us. We then walked away with Mr. ** still yelling at us down the street, until the police car rode beside us to our car. Never ever in our lives have we ever been treated so poorly. Mr. ** should be ashamed of his behavior. It was disrespectful, unprofessional, and deplorable to say the least. We would not have stayed if the evening before if we were told that he would not accept a service dog, which is illegal.

    Here is the law: A MEANS TO PALLIATE A DISABILITY. The Quebec Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms protects all people with a disability who use a guide dog or a service dog. A person accompanied by a guide dog or a service dog has the right to access, without discrimination: Public places such as businesses, restaurants and hotels; Public transport and taxis; Work places; Recreational facilities such as campsites or movie theaters.

    My husband has a legal disability. He has the paperwork, cards, and his dog wears her official vest. I had to handle talking with Mr. **, as my husband cannot deal with such hostility. Thanks to your treatment, more than likely my husband will not be able to go anywhere for a long time coming. Shame, shame on you Mr. ** for such disgusting behavior. His staff, however, were courteous, polite, and very respectful.

    Room booked was already given away on arrival with card on file and charged. Options due to Expedia were to pay cancellation through Expedia and directly book through hotel for additional cost and to wait until next morning for Vacancy. App difficult to make any changes to additional information. Cancelled future booking through app due to this inconvenience, app failed to delete and was charged a full nights room and cancellation fee within same trip. Was reimbursed $200 credit by Expedia which I used a portion of and when went to use remaining credits informed any remaining is forfeited. Then was not re-credited remaining amount.

    When trying to leave a 1-star app review conveniently kept deleting comments due to name being taken or password error instead of editing option. First time Expedia customer, I will be sticking with Priceline & other agents if any as I have never had any issues in all my traveling years and I will not use Expedia ever again for these many factors. Saving money with Expedia did not happen, it costed our family money and a full night's sleep on the streets of Orlando without paying double. Expedia was still paid by above hotels at their customers' expense and they didn't make it right. Horrible customer service and portal.

    I purchased multi-city plane tickets for my family to Europe. It was not a cheap package but I knew that I didn't want the traveler insurance that Expedia offers because my mother-in-law always purchases through a separate company that also includes health and emergency medical services. When I got my confirmation I didn't think to check that the insurance package was not on my itinerary because I was sure that I had not purchased it. When I pulled up my itinerary to coordinate travel plans with family a couple weeks later I noticed the extra charges. I called Expedia and explained the situation, that I thought there had been an error somewhere.

    At first the representatives were pretty nice but when I got transferred to the supervisor Rachel, and then Lead Supervisor Jessica ** they were immediately rude and condescending. They told me that because it had passed 10 days there was nothing that could be done and it was my fault for not thoroughly reading the confirmation details. Keep in mind there was still plenty of time before my trip, it's not like I called the day before to cancel. When I said that I truly believe that there had been a mistake, she told me they had a screen shot of my computer with the insurance box checked. I don't think this is true in any way so I asked her to email me the screenshot, to which she replied it was proprietary information and she couldn't share it with me.

    In the end, after over an hour and a half of wait time and rude representatives, they just said they wouldn't do anything about it. This is actually the second (but by far the worst) issue we've had using Expedia. I won't use them anymore. Too bad, the reason I pulled up my itinerary was to start booking hotels for our two week stay in multiple cities for my in-laws and my family. Needless to say, that won't be happening with Expedia.

So we arrived at the said hotel on the 24th of March my wife's birthday. Unfortunately we found ourselves in a foreign country without a room and nowhere to go.

    We rang Expedia only to be passed between departments and left on hold indefinitely. I rang again. The lady was helpful and told us she would organize a room for us at the same hotel. Problem we're already at the hotel. It's full and 95% of the hotels are there. Just to add insult the next day we received a text reminding us to check out of the hotel that had canceled our booking. In no way possible is it ok to not notify people when bookings are canceled. They ruined my wife's birthday. We will never use Expedia again.

Fridge, microwave, mirrors all had gunk on them and I promise you when I went downstairs on March 9 2017 to tell the front desk (because they were not answering the front desk phones from my cell or my room phone!!!) **, had the audacity to tell me to change my own sheets and pillow cases or get a full refund.

    When I came back he had called the police on me because he did not want to give me my full refund like he had asked. How dare Expedia know this information, see all the videos and photos I took and posted to twitter, all the emails we exchanged to take over 3 weeks to tell me they wouldn't refund me my money. After I was told they would and explained the thug at the front desk, ** called the police on me because he did not want to refund me the money he promised me!!! I will never ever ever do business with Expedia again!!! After!!!

    On March 3rd I had to book a flight for the same day because of a family emergency--actually, 2 flight segments from Sacramento to Ft Lauderdale, FL, with a change in Dallas. After booking the flights, Expedia told me to select seats, and provided seat maps for each leg of the flight showing every available seat requiring a fee. Given this reservation was being made less than 12 hrs before departure, I didn't question the fees and booked the seats. When I got a confirmation email about my itinerary, I saw only one seat selection had gone through, so I went to American Airlines' site to reserve the second seat, and it was then I discovered there were free seats available on both flight segments.

    I contacted Expedia and was told they would not provide a refund on the seat charge; that if I didn't want to pay for the seat I simply shouldn't have reserved it on Expedia. Bottom line--they offered up a seat map showing no free seats were available--I was basically scammed into paying for something I could've gotten for free.

    A group of us bought a package deal from Expedia to Cancun. To start off the trip, our plane was delayed for 6 hours because of mechanical issues and we almost had to stay at the airport overnight. Anyways, we missed the first full day at Cancun, and got no compensation for it. When we got to Cancun, our hotel was overbooked, so we were transferred to some rundown hotel. The first two rooms they try to put us in, had people in it already. Not to mention, we had to share one king size bed for three grown men.

    When we came back to our original resort, we waited in line for 2 hours to get our room. We did not receive any compensation or anything from the hotel. Once we got to the hotel room, we found again only one king size bed. We went and complained because when we booked through Expedia, we made sure we had two separate beds for 3 adults, but they said "sorry, we have no more rooms available". So we did not have much of a choice but to go along with it. The whole week was difficult to sleep, and I ended sleeping on the ground a couple nights. Also, on the Expedia page, it said that hotel had different entertainment and night shows, but that was not the case. Anyways, this was one of the worst experiences and I will not recommend booking through Expedia to anyone else because you will not receive what you are expecting.

    I rarely write reviews, but I feel obliged to state that this is an unethical company. I have been seeking a medical refund since June 2016, and have consistently experienced delays, denials, obfuscatory emails, and now (today) an outright lie in response to my legitimate attempt to understand their refusal to comply. Alitalia customer reps were "shocked" today when I indicated that Expedia had said that they (Alitalia) had "denied" me a medical refund. Alitalia stated that no such denial had taken place.

    I also shared with Alitalia an email from Expedia that stated that the airline had insisted on "Hospitalization Documentation." Again, Alitalia reps (I called twice, just to confirm) stated that "hospitalization" is not necessary if you have a letter from a physician. And that Alitalia doesn't even play a role in decisions about third-party flights that were never initiated. That in fact it is Expedia's right and obligation to follow through on the refund. After two hours on hold with Expedia, and three supervisors having summarily passed me along, each insisting that Alitalia had indeed turned me down and that they don't have the "agency" or money to refund me ("the ticket is with Alitalia," they said, "call them"), the line was disconnected and my call was dropped. I dutifully called Alitalia again, just to confirm what they had initially stated, and they once again indicated that Expedia had been authorized to follow through with a refund. That "no denial" was on record.

    I recontacted Expedia, and after a subsequent period on hold was once again hung up on without having an opportunity to speak with a representative. I then contacted Expedia HQ and tried to find out the appropriate legal contact to initiate a legal case, and the answering service to "leave a message" repeatedly disconnected. I have 10 pages of documentation since I began my much-documented and legitimate attempt to receive a medical refund last June 2016. I don't have a large salary. I work as a librarian. It is profoundly disheartening to come up against a company that actively obfuscates, delays and disconnects in order to avoid the rights of their customers.

So I went ahead and called to be told it was cancelled because I forgot to add birthdays and gender in the traveler info (even though I remember clearly that I did) so I went ahead and gave them the info for him to tell me the flight is no longer the original price I paid but $300 more, that is exactly the amount Expedia said I would be saving by booking with them.

The service from a man named Randy **, with an India like accent, was the absolute worst I have ever received in my life.

    If I can convince one person to not use Expedia I will be happy! We booked one airline fare for March 20th to March 30th but then called back and booked two airline fares from April 20th to April 30th, canceling the first airline flight. "No problem," they said, "Your refund will be on your credit card in less than a week." Well now it is a month later and through numerous telephone calls we still are being charged for three flights! As someone else mentioned, they simply hang up the phone on you when they don't know the answer. We have been on the phone off and on with them for hours with no resolution.

    We are still hoping for a refund of the first booking as they promised but we are going to try to fight it through our credit card. Obviously we would not have made the second booking if they had not cancelled the first, but now we have three tickets with two passengers and no resolution in sight. My strong suggestion is BOOK THROUGH SOMEWHERE ELSE. We didn't think we had a problem as they said they would refund. Liars.

    I booked a vacation to Aruba on 03/16/2017 for my daughter's sweet 16. The trip, scheduled for 07/5 - 7/12/2017, included flights and room at the Hyatt hotel for a family of five. During the reservation process, I entered all the required information to include proper ages of my teenage kids. With that being said, Bjs booked me an executive suite that allegedly could accommodate my family. On 3/17/2017, I began re-check the hotel to ensure everyone would be comfortable. I called BJs travel and spoke to "JACK", who put in a request for a roll away bed. He said it should be good... I then went on the Hyatt website and discovered that there is no roll away beds. I called Hyatt and they transferred me to the actual hotel property in Aruba. I spoke to the Representative and was told that this is misinformation. The room will not accommodate my family comfortably. The room had one king bed and a pullout TWIN couch.

    I then called BJs travel (SUBCONTRACT TO EXPEDIA) back and was told they can't help me and that it went through Expedia. I spoke to "Christie" at Expedia who was of no help!!! One option, cancel everything and re-book for two rooms. OR, keep the executive suite and book a second room, and when you get there tell them you have two reservations... I explained that wouldn't be good because then there is no guarantee we would have connecting rooms or rooms on the same floor close by... Absolutely ridiculous direction! I canceled my daughter's sweet 16 trip because of the incompetence of your travel department! You have made this a disappointing and frustrating process! To top everything off, I had to make an additional call to Allianz to cancel my insurance... more frustration and time wasted.

    If I would have went according to this itinerary, the trip would have been a terrible surprise showing up and not having a place to stay because they couldn't accommodate my family! I must say, my wife and I are disappointed and extremely upset with BJs and the customer service. I didn't expect this and I felt they did nothing to fix this, but to do it all over online.

    On March 14, 2017, I booked 10 hotel rooms on Expedia TAAP for my clients. I discovered about 15 min. later, that I had booked three rooms incorrectly. I attempted to correct my error and was told by the computer that the three rooms were NOT cancellable. As a 30-year full-time travel agent, I knew this problem was solvable and I called customer service at Expedia TAAP. I reached India. I explained the issue over and over before the agent seemed to understand that I needed help, not the cancellation policy explained. He finally, at my request, transferred me to a "supervisor". Johnathon listened and seemed to understand that the hotel needed to be contacted, on my behalf, and the issue fixed before more time went by. The date of the hotel stay was mid-September, 2017. I was on the phone with Expedia over 2 hours. Johnathon said he was unable to reach the hotel but would follow up and get back to me. He never did.

    Today 48 hours later I called Expedia TAAP again, reaching India again. I again related the entire issue to Steve this time. I ask for him to send me over to a supervisor, now, rather than using up a great deal of time to find out he, Steve, was unable to help me. He refused. I ask to be transferred to a US agent, he refused. I was put on hold and after over 1 hour I was disconnected. He said if we were ever disconnected he would call me back and took the number, he did not call me back.

    THE ISSUE is that Expedia actively pursues travel agents knowing we are "agents" and will be expecting service when service is needed. However, they offer no service at all to agents. I am expected to cover a $400 hotel booking error, that was only 15 min. old when I first ask for help, because they refuse to offer back up to agents. Agents need to be aware of this and not do business with them. Our clients expect "service" and "help" and Expedia TAAP offers none of the above. I have made every attempt to contact them to no avail. I contacted the hotel directly and they said because this is an EXPEDIA contract I must go through Expedia. I cannot solve this issue without Expedia and Expedia is not concerned, they after all, will make their money! See how this doesn't work??

I’ve successfully booked a flight ticket from Cairo to Ottawa with 2 stops, the 1st one is in Istanbul and the 2nd stop in Toronto. But when I arrived to my 1st stop in Istanbul I discovered that my 2nd flight to Toronto got cancelled 2 weeks ago, and the Airline operator told me that Expedia was supposed to send me a notification and that there is nothing she can help me with, and that I should call Expedia to figure out what should I do.

    Unfortunately Expedia who didn’t send me any sort of notifications to let me know that my flight got cancelled, couldn’t help me either. So I had to call the customer service of Air Canada, who eventually helped me by getting me a ticket from Turkey to London, then from London to Toronto, then from Toronto to Ottawa. Of course I arrived Ottawa extremely late and I missed my appointment and the people I was intending to meet, as my trip was supposed to take around 18.5 Hours to get to Ottawa, but it took almost 28 hours instead. That’s why I’m never going to book any tickets from Expedia anymore and I don’t recommend it to anyone else. My Itinerary # **, my Expedia booking reference # **.

    Expedia is the worst company I have ever used. First, they double charge me for my tickets. So one charge has gone through and the second charge is on hold. I try to get the hold removed and Expedia agrees there's a hold and says it will be removed overnight. Next day it's not gone and Expedia says "too bad, it only went through once. Also, you never called us." So I had to send proof I called them?? 8 STRAIGHT HOURS OF CALLING LATER, all Expedia has done is confirmed they refuse to do anything despite the bank and both airlines saying the fault is at Expedias end.

    Expedia is still pretending that they can do nothing despite being told they need to send the merchant's code or something. So because I'm two solid days of phone calls into this I gave up, admitted I understood that they refused to remove the unnecessary hold for "3-5 more business days" as I assume it's a pyramid scheme, and then asked for some kind of compensation for being lied to, condescended and hung up on by their employees. To which they said "sorry that happened but no we refuse to acknowledge that you were actively lied I and then mistreated". They are scam artists.

    This is a long story, but here we go. Do not use Expedia. I attempted to book a flight to visit my friend. Expedia's website glitched and did not confirm my flight, but charged my bank account 4 TIMES, completely clearing out all the money in that particular account. I called Expedia customer service to get this resolved. The representative I worked with was unfortunately quite incompetent and could not figure out what letters I was saying for my email address, let alone what I was asking for, which is to confirm the one trip I want and help me cancel the rest so I can get my money back.

    She told me I needed to make a new reservation with her, over the phone, with a different credit card, with no regard to the fact that I couldn't use my preferred card BECAUSE EXPEDIA TOOK MY MONEY. I reluctantly agreed because I didn't know what else to do. We tried this, and it didn't work. The website still had that glitch apparently. She tried again, it didn't confirm again. Now I had 2 MORE charges on my credit card for the same damn flight, and it kind of feels like she did that on purpose. While still on the phone with her, I went straight to American Airlines and booked my flight, no problem, for less money. Expedia charges about $90 in fees just FYI.

    Anyway, I still had to deal with Expedia and the 6 charges on my account for nothing. She tells me there's nothing she can do, wait a few days and "see what happens". I told her, as politely as I could, that I can't wait a few days when I have $0 in my checking account and my bills are about to come out of that account and now will go unpaid and it's because of Expedia's crappy website and they won't fix it. She literally did nothing.

    I call back the next day and work up to 3 managers beyond a general representative because no one could help me. This guy does finally help, he faxed a letter to my bank requesting that the funds be released. They were, but now I'm waiting for a new debit card a week later (which I didn't ask for) so I still can't actually access my money. I got a voucher through Expedia, only to find out I can't even use it for a flight to see my family, another thing they didn't tell me. Apparently it's only good for hotels, the one thing I don't need. Nice way to act like you're helping me out, Expedia.

I then booked a new flight online, like I had previously, to then find out that because I did not call up to book my flight that I was unable to use my credit. I was extremely upset because the only reason I booked the new trip was because I did not want to lose my $700; however, no one told me when I called up to cancel my flight that there was a specific process I had to follow in order to use my credit. So now, after this experience I call up to book yet another trip only to find out that I can not use my credit on a bundle trip. Even though Expedia was able to separate the charges and credit me for my canceled trip they were not willing to apply my money to a bundled trip. The only way I would be able to use my credit I learned was to book a flight and hotel separately.

    For the trip I was trying to book that means that Expedia expects me to pay double the price of the bundled trip just to book the flight and hotel separately! Basically Expedia is telling me to just piss my money away and that I might as well not even use my credit and just throw that money down the drain because it is cheaper to pay for the bundle than to even use the credit. I will never book with Expedia again. The customer service was terrible and would not work with me to help me use my credit ---- moreover I should have been explained to at the beginning how to use the credit.

I replied that I could not provide them with that information because it was not in their final booking confirmation and that they surely could see the error if I gave them the Booking Reference Number...

    They said that although they could log into my booking details with the booking reference, they could not see the details of the 'original price' as I saw it and that I needed to email them all the booking stages, which of course I could not do because by then they did not show on the PC!! However, they were not interested and at the end I decided exhausted after even talking to their Manager, I decided to quit. I am very sad and disappointed and the whole thing reminds me of something similar that I watch in RipOff Britain when the Travel Agents gave on their web pages lower prices than the final ones after payment had been made.

I have been on the phone with a foreigner that barely speaks English and can hardly understand me for a total of six hours in a two day period!

    It has been the worst experience I have ever had with any company! I don't know how they are still in business! I usually give people a second chance, but this has been such a headache, that I will stay as far away from Expedia as I can. After 4 days of being on the phone they have finally agreed to refund my money, however, my trip is still not booked! The refund will take 10 business days and Expedia took one click to charge my card 4 times! Do not waste your time with these people, they do not care about their customers!

    6 weeks before our travel date, I booked a flight for myself and my daughter from Guatemala City to Flores. It departed at 6:30 a.m., which meant we had to get up at 4:30 (having arrived in GC the night before at midnight). We get to the airport, we wait a long time in line, only to discover, there was no flight booked in our names! We were traveling with other family members who had to leave without us. I called Expedia and they told me the airline had canceled our tickets - yet there was no communication from Expedia to me about that. I've sent an email complaining and have received no response whatsoever. Like everyone else here, I'm done with Expedia.

    Never again will I book through expedia.com. When I created an Expedia account through my cellular phone I used my nickname, when it was time for me to book and add my payment information I added my government name as well as my payment information but the website did not give me the option to update my name on my ticket because it automatically used my login name instead of my government name which does not match my login name. I don't understand why Expedia will accept a payment from me with my government name that does not match my login name but it automatically puts my login name on the traveler's ticket. As I tried to explain the supervisor ANNA which I believe is her "American name" is that I was not given the option to change traveler's ticket name. I was only given the option to add the additional travelers' names for the other tickets. It automatically put my login name as the ticker holder.

    I was told by the airlines that if I like to change the name on my ticket that I will have to go through Expedia. I contacted Expedia and they're telling me that I cannot change my ticket name to match my payment information. So I'm currently SOL with a ticket, hotel, and my money back. All I ask is for them to change the name on my traveler's ticket.

    Expedia is not clear and honest about cancellation policies. They clearly stated that any fee would be charged if I canceled before midday the day before my arrival day to the hotel. I did exactly that, canceling by 11:10 am the day before my arrival, and they still charged me the cost of the night. Even when I explained to them that I will book again, same hotel, just for the next week, they said that it was a hotel policy to charge the whole cost of the night if cancellation wasn't done two days before. I tried to work something out with the hotel and they brushed me off saying that since I booked through Expedia they could do nothing about this. So they just took $75.00 from my credit card.

    People need to understand that Expedia is merely a "broker" of services between the buyer and the company that sells their services to said buyer. They are not an airline or hotel service. They only link you up with an airline & hotel. Also, they own many of the other website on the internet that many frustrated people say they will be going to since Expedia caused them some type of grief which I find funny... but anyway, the only real complaint I have about Expedia, and it looks like I'm not alone, is their customer service. Their customer service, if you even want to call it that, is horrible! These poor people don't even comprehend the English language in some cases and the language barrier is such a big deal why their customer service stinks. To sum it up, here is an analogy for you: Me - Expedia service rep, what is 2 plus 2? Expedia service rep - The color red... they are just bad and it's not even their fault.

    False advertising. I have used Expedia several times for work and personal travel and have generally had few complaints. But this is because most businesses listed are honest. When I had a recent experience where a hotel misrepresented their amenities, Expedia tells me "well, we called and they won't refund your money". They have not offered to desist the company or any action that would make me feel better about the $380 lost or convince me to ever use them again.

    We rent a car in Costa Rica for 11 days though Expedia. The email confirmation certified that I had only $177 left over to pay on a good price rental car. First, we arrived and the car we asked for was not there. The guy wanted us to take a crappy car instead. And next HUGE fees were required added to the $177. For a "insurance" they asked us more than $700, telling us that it was indispensable and we won't find any other car available anyway. Of course we find another car somewhere else in 5 min, where they told us the 'insurance' fees were only optional. So basically I paid for a service, that they weren't able to provide and that they lied about and now nobody want to give me my money back. You have to harass them but it's never the right person.

    I recently made a 2 night hotel reservation with Expedia for a hotel in California. When my husband could not make the trip I attempted to cancel within the standard 48 hour cancellation time frame. First I called Expedia and they said this hotel does not allow cancellations and I will still have to pay. So I asked them to call the hotel and request that this be refunded. They agreed to do this and put me on hold. After waiting for 30 minutes, they returned to the phone and said the hotel would not reverse the charges and that I would be charged the full price.

    Frustrated I hung up. I then called the hotel directly and spoke to the same person that Expedia had just spoke to. I told her what Expedia had just told me and she said that she did not tell them that I could not be refunded. She said that she told the that I would be refunded for one night. So I asked her to hold and I conferenced both of us in on the line with Expedia. I reached the same person at Expedia and explained that what he told me was not true. He apologized and said he was just confused. I then asked him to ensure that I would only be charged for one night. After waiting another 30 minutes and being put on hold several times, he said I would only be charged for one night. He said that my card had not actually been charged yet and sent me a new email with the one night charge.

    Today I received my credit card statement and was charged for the two nights. I am now on the phone with Expedia again. They keep putting me on hold and telling me that they will process the refund but I have spoke to two people and they still have not completed my request. The are trying to wear me down and exhaust me to the point where I will just give up. I have been on the phone for over 45 minutes and I am on hold again right now. The most recent supervisor, Elaina says that I must talk to someone higher than her. I asked for a confirmation email that I am being refunded but am on hold again.

    They lie and they are scam artists. When I originally made the reservation, I thought that I was calling the hotel but was somehow redirected to Expedia. This company needs to be investigated for fraud. I have now been transferred to another supervisor, Rocky. I have explained that I have now been on the phone for 1 hour and 3 minutes. I asked her to complete the refund and to not put me on hold. She keeps saying that her screen keeps loading and she is having difficulties. She offered to call me back but I am not confident that she will do that. I am on hold again. She came back and now says she has to wait for a manager, but she will be back.

    Came back and says she is one the other line with her manager. I have now been on the line for 1 hour and 15 minutes but on hold again. Rocky just came back and said she will be back to update me from time to time and put me on hold again. Ridiculous! Finally after 1 hour and 21 minutes with the Philippines, I received an email that says I will get a refund. I am not completely sure that that will happen so I will follow up with my credit card agency in 5 days. Never use Expedia.

    I had a prepaid booking with Little Hoian Central Boutique Hotel & Spa in Hoian. Expedia had charged my credit card ahead before the stay. I was told on check in that Expedia had sent a message to the hotel to say that my booking had been cancelled by me. Fortunately the hotel was not full and the local staff at the hotel honored my booking. I called Expedia's helpdesk (which was no help) asking them what had transacted. I spent a good 15 mins with the call centre and was treated as if I was the party at fault. Told the centre to work out the issues with the hotel. Later the Expedia staff asked me to move to another hotel. He obviously could not understand me.

    1. The hotel had already honored our booking. 2. We did not have a problem with the hotel. 3. The hotel is excellent. I had called Expedia to clarify the situation as I did not want to pay another charge on checkout for the hotel stay as Expedia had already collected the payment from me well in advance.

The operator then offered tickets at $370 which I declined then finally got down to $279. Even then he could not guarantee the price until I had given him my credit card details. I declined.

    In November 2016 I accepted to keep 2 tickets on hold as credit for my family. While on the phone the person explained I had two options, to keep the ticket on credit and pay a penalty of USD 200 or to get a refund paying a penalty of USD 500. They explained if I decided to keep the credit it had to be with the same airline and that I needed to contact them before June the 23rd/17 to reissue the ticket. I asked if it could be possible to use the ticket from a different origin - destination as long as it's still with the same airline, and they confirmed it was possible.

    Today after 2 weeks of heaps of calls talking every time with different and incompetent people, and explaining the same thing to each of them all over again, and after several emails going back and forth, they don't know if the ticket can be reissued. There is no one accountable. The customer service team just don't know how to provide a decent customer service experience, and they have no idea of what they're doing. The last email I received was from another person I haven't spoken to, saying the issue has been escalated and that it will take 5 to 7 week days to review.

    As a result and since I can't wait for them to provide a decent service, I had to buy the ticket with another company, spend more money since the fare has increased in the past weeks, and waste precious time on the phone and writing emails. All of this due to the lack of competency of Expedia. But the nightmare it's not over! I have to wait until they decide to answer. I don't want to book any other flight with them.

The airline website at the end of the process said it could not complete the process and to check with the airline. We did not want to wait that long. We were on the phone with WestJet as that was the airline we were scheduled to fly although it was a Delta co-share flight. There was a problem and we were told to call back to Expedia and/or Delta as there was a problem with the ticket. Over the next 4 hours we were on multiple cell phones with Expedia, Delta and WestJet trying to sort the issue out as each was blaming each other for the problem. Four hours into the long waits on hold with the various parties, we determined (based on info from WJ) that Expedia was the ones with the power to fix the problem.

    We called once again to Expedia and asked to speak to a Supervisor and basically had to explain the whole issue from the start. We explained we had been on hold for the whole afternoon, never sure if we had been disconnected or if anyone was even looking into our problem. We asked that while he worked on the issue, he let us know every 15 minutes that we were on hold that we had not been disconnected and he was resolving the problem. Over the next hour plus, he did come on line one time to give us an update that they were working on a resolution. After over an hour, he came on the line and had 2 alternative flights that they could book us on. The previous flights we were booked on were not available to us. That is a whole other issue as I had spent a lot of time ensuring we had those specific flights.

    The slightly positive resolution was we (4 of us) got booked on flights in exit rows although we arrived 2.5 hours later than our previously booked flights. We spent from noon to 5 PM on the phone of a vacation day in a hotel room ensuring we actually had flights home the next day. While I have had generally good experience with Expedia, this is not the first problem, but I am sure it is the last with Expedia. I will NEVER use Expedia for any bookings ever again.

    Very poor customer service. I booked a round trip flight for 3 business associates.

When I spoke to the representative, they asked for my itinerary number, email address, and phone number... all of which I provided. They informed me that the email address and phone number were incorrect. Apparently, they somehow connected my reservation to some other account. I was told that they could not make the change until I provided the correct email address and/or phone number.

    The credit card used to pay for the reservation was in my name, yet they still would not make the change, stating, "without the correct email or phone number they could not disclose any information". This makes absolutely no sense at all... I was not asking that they "disclose" any information... I provided the credit card number and all the booking information. They clearly sent me the email for the booking because I have the confirmation. I spent an hour and a half working on this, including speaking with two Expedia supervisors, without ever resolving the issue. I book a fairly high volume of travel for work and will not be using Expedia again.

    People working for Expedia are from outside the US and most probably PAID to wear you down so that you give up in the end. Here's my 10-cent from the latest: I was on the phone with them for FIVE hours trying to claim a credit. They put me on hold 9 times (actually, that's when I gave up counting). In the meanwhile, I cooked dinner, took a shower and answered their ** questions from time to time like a robot because I was trying to indulge their repeating idiotic issues. First off, they tried to tell me that my credit had expired. Tough **! That didn't fly with me because I've already called the airline and they confirmed I had 5 more months to go. Well, that didn't work out very well for Expedia now, did it? So they put me on hold for another hour and then they magically "found" that the credit was indeed, still available.

    OK, now let's move on to the next step: booking a new flight. I have already found the cheapest ticket, they found one $200 more expensive and claimed they couldn't see the one I found. Here's the funny part: "Now we're adding your credit..." and actually ended up with the price I have found!!! So basically they would've totally wasted my credit!!! I told them I can book my own ticket, just give me the credit number or something if they "can't see" this particular much lower price. Un-** believable!!!

    At this point, my husband snapped but I started laughing because I could only imagine how many poor suckers they fool on a daily basis... unfortunately, we had a higher-than-expected IQ and we didn't wanna give up! They finally agreed that there was a cheaper price and applied my credit to that one. Ohhh, but this isn't by far the end of the horror story, there's more to come related to the credit card charges, but I don't wanna take up much more of your time.

    I found out it's actually just as cheap to book directly with the hotel/airline company if you're shrewd enough. I'm also filing a report with BBB. The more we notify the right agencies, the more chances these useless creatures will eventually succumb to their stupidity and greed. Good luck to everybody out there dealing with Expedia!

    I have been a customer for Expedia since 10 years now. Usually when I book online there is no problems but the moment I call to change a booking or adding an infant the disaster start. Last February I called to add a kid to my sister booking. I spend 30 days trying to do that. All the agents are clowns, have no idea how to do it. They keep telling me it is done but not sending me any ticket, then I called the airline and I was shocked that there is no booking. So I kept on calling and explaining again and again for each agent I talk to. Then finally I got a ticket but guess what!! They made a mistake with the baby gender so I had to call again to fix it. It took another month for them to figure out how to fix it. Good thing I did the booking early otherwise my sister's kid will not have a ticket on time.

    Then they told me there is a penalty for changing the ticket and they have to cancel the wrong one and issue new one. They promised to refund me the penalty later. So here we go, my sister went to the airport. She discovered that the ticket have been never reissued and the gender mistake still there. Good thing the officers let her in the flight. But Expedia charged me twice already for the ticket plus the penalty so again I called to get my refund. They transfer me to their supervisor. I spent 3 and a half hour on the phone waiting for supervisor then she told me they will not investigate and they will not be responsible to pay for their mistake. After fighting with her and nearly got a heart attack, literally I got chest pain and a very high blood pressure that day. She agreed to give me back the penalty only, though they promised earlier to pay the new ticket in case if it is their mistake. But instead I was charged twice for two ticket.

    No refund until now. I really did not have time to sue them but I swear one day I will. I called 13 time each time, spend hours and my phone bill was more than 150 dollars. And we are not done yet. I had to add another baby in the way back home because my sister got her second baby. Again the same thing and the same ignorant uneducated people, they told me they can't add the baby because of frozen system. And I should go to the airport and book. In the airport they told me there is no such a thing called booking at the airport for Expedia and I have to do it by phone again. I had to call those horrible people and of course I had to pay extra because it was the last min booking. I have all those agents' name and supervisor and all my phone bills that show the hours spent on the phone. I hope my complaint will be heard and action to be taken against this company.

    I ordered a round trip flights with Expedia and was disappointed in when it quoted me a price, but then forced me to add on fees as I was choosing my coach seat. If there are no seats available on a flight that do not require additional fees, then that should be divulged in the original price.

    I booked a room for one night at Comfort Suite and it says on the website that it's a Pay When you Stay and I would not be charged the whole price of the hotel. They charge me 1/2 price and which is ok for the room hold. My booking is not until March 4th and it's only February 14 and they charged my card with the full price. They told me that it's the hotel policy but that's not what it says on the Expedia website. They are blaming the hotel for it while their website is deceiving.

    It takes 2 minutes to book a trip - but 5+ hours of waiting on hold & 17 phone calls to get a refund. This was an absolute nightmare. Airline cancels my flight - I never received an email (which would help) but instead, a phone call from a mysterious unknown number. Upon returning the call, I was told that there were no flights available on Friday the 10th (my trip was feb 10-12) and my only options were arrive Saturday night (half my trip gone) or on Sunday. Logically, this would not work out so I inquired about a refund. The real nightmare begins...

    It is 5 days later and I have FINALLY gotten my email in regards to the stated amount of refund. A tip - DO NOT use this company and save yourself the stress by using the airlines or hotels direct. Your purchase is better protected and you won't have to deal with arrogant & rude customer service. The clerk is coughing into the phone? How rude is that? Ask me for my information 2/3 times while I'm on the phone? Basic customer service teaches you MANNERS but also to NOT agitate a customer further with simple questions that you have the answers to on your computer. WORST customer service BY FAR.

    My name is Kaveshnee from South Africa. I planned to holiday for Malaysia in June. I went online to look at hotels in Langkawi. I found Dayang Bay serviced apartments and resort on the Expedia site. Was hesitant to book as I was not sure where I wanted to stay so was reassured to book as the booked said free cancellation before May 27th 2017 and that credit card details was only taken to secure booking but will not be charged. There were no charges made to my credit card.

    I booked this morning at approximately 00h15 and cancelled the booking this morning at approximately 06h45. I then received a email to say that I will be charged a cancellation fee from the resort. To my understanding free cancellations before the stated date means if you cancels before the mentioned date you will not be charged for the booking. In future I would rather pay a agent to do my booking as using these sites are very risky. Expedia could not tell me if I will be charged as they could not get a hold of the hotel. Waiting for a reply. They said it takes 72 hours. Please be careful putting your card details out there.

    I found a hotel on Expedia.com for $50 per night. When I clicked on it, it took me to the payment page, but the rate was $80. I called into Expedia and spoke with a customer service rep. She said I could book the room at the higher price and they would refund the difference plus $50 for the inconvenience. She said to book the room through her, so I did at the higher price. I submitted the price match immediately. I received an email saying that they would not honor the guarantee because it was 24 hours until my reservation, not the required 48. Why would customer service not inform me of this? I've contacted them a couple of times and the answer is the same. This will be my last booking with Expedia.

When I called to cancel, after being on hold for almost 90 minutes, I was told... "You can cancel, and will get a credit but you have to fly on the same airline from the SAME COUNTRY?"

    I made a reservation in Sept 2016 for a car in Liberia, Costa Rica for Feb 2017. On checking the reservation, Expedia ignored my time of arrival at 1600 hour, and set my arrival time at 1030 hour. When I asked Expedia to correct their records, they asked me to cancel my reservation and rebook at the much higher current prices. This is the second time Expedia has screwed up car reservations. The last time was for a car reservation in Guayaquil, Ecuador. The Avis agent at GYE contended I had no reservation. I am now using Booking.com for my travel reservations, and contacting rental car companies directly.

    I booked a trip to Puerto Rico to celebrate an early valentines day, through Expedia and selected the option All-inclusive and Wyndham Garden was the only Resort that showed up. I went on to booking the trip since it said all-inclusive and the price was pretty decent, however, when we arrived at the resort and headed to lunch the next day, it was brought to our attention that it was not all inclusive. My wife and I were very disappointed, as we picked this resort solely because Expedia listed it as "all-inclusive". I reached out to the company to get a refund as we were trying to save money however they stated they could not offer a refund. This issue increased what we were trying to spend initially since we had to rent a car to get to the resort, which was an hr away and we had to pay for food, which was very expensive. It would have been much cheaper if we had stayed in Old San Juan and bought our own food.

Had I booked the trip with them they would have given me my money back since I gave them a six-month notice and since Expedia never told me the tickets were nonrefundable. They should make it right but they won't. They want to keep my money and the tickets and after four hours on the phone with them said they would give me nothing. I told them, "This was a scam.

    I booked flights through Expedia in Sept to fly in Dec. Three weeks before the flight, I received an email from Expedia saying the flights had been cancelled. I called the 800 number on the email and the recording acknowledged that their information showed that my flight had been cancelled and that my credit card would be refunded within 24 hours but that it may take up to a week to process through the banks.

    When my statement came and the refund did not show up I started calling. Expedia claimed that I was due no refund because I didn't show up for the flight. After about 4 hours total on the phone (try being put on hold for 45 minutes at a time while they "spoke to the airline"), taking a photo of the email they sent, demanding to speak to a supervisor, they eventually told me that I would have to deal directly with the airline. One problem: the airline really never cancelled the flight. Expedia just told me they had. ABSOLUTELY THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED!!! If Expedia is not an offshore scamming operation, they should be because they operate just like one. If you are considering using them, throw your money in the trash and RUN AWAY FAST.

If this had worked, it would have been great. My request for the guarantee was DENIED since the hotel site books in USD. It turns out that the Expedia guarantee will only work for another CAD site, i.e. something like hotels. ca. It feels terrible to be paying $500 more, just because I booked through Expedia. ca.

I have now been sending texts for over a week now, without satisfaction. They admit the prices dropped, as reported and offered a A$100 token, which could be used on future trips (not this one).

    I was grateful that I had purchased the 'travel insurance' for each of our tickets. We canceled our flights with Expedia and were issued a full credit voucher with United. We were told we'd have a re-booking fee of $600, BUT that we didn't need to worry because with the purchase of travel insurance the insurance company would issue a full refund for our re-booking fee. Well, today I went to rebook through Expedia (which was honestly an ordeal). He had me give my cc information so he could charge us the $600. Then I was told I'd get an email with our Itinerary. The email has still not shown up. So tomorrow I'll have to call once again to Expedia to get my itinerary sent to me. I called the insurance company immediately after we re-booked to get our 'full refund' and was told that unless one of our travelers was sick at the time of travel, and we could prove they were sick WITH A DOCTORS NOTE, I would then have a claim and could submit it.

    Honestly I was left speechless. We are choosing not to travel to that area because of a risk to our health and for someone to tell me that 'unfortunately that isn't something they cover' literally blew me away. I will not be booking with Expedia for a VERY long time and when prompted to purchase their pathetic, restricted, useless travel insurance I would DECLINE!! I will be sharing my story on all of my social media to warn people of the absolute joke it was, not to mention, a waste of time and money to book through Expedia and buy insurance. I plan to dispute the $600 charge and will be submitting a formal complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau as well as with USA.gov travel complaint department.

    I booked a flight on Expedia and found it cheaper on another site. I was told it had to be booked before price matching. It is the exact same fare class, date, and flights. Then, came up with an excuse that the other place doesn't offer 24 hour refunds. This is unrelated to the flight and a service that Expedia adds. Of course no other place offers that - but that is not what I am trying to match. So... let's think about this. With that being the case, NOTHING WILL EVER be PRICE MATCHED by Expedia. The whole thing is BOGUS!!! The bad thing is that they won't guarantee until booked, but they take over 24 hours to respond so you lose the opportunity to buy it from the other site. BUM DEAL!

    I made a reservation for 5 rooms at a hotel in New Orleans (Bourbon Orleans) via Hotels.com (an Expedia company). I cancelled the reservation & made reservation at another hotel. Same weekend. The first reservation disappeared from my account. The new reservation appeared. I called to verify that the cancellation had happened because I did not receive the cancellation notification. I was reassured via customer service that there was no reservation on my account. I checked multiple times during the period of end Oct - early January - no reservation showing for Bourbon Orleans (only for the new reservations).

    Now I have been charged for the 5 rooms at Bourbon Orleans. There still is no reference to a booking in my Hotels.com account; I got no prompts before I was due to check in from the hotel or Hotels.com (I did get those prompts for the replacement hotel via Hotels.com). Hotels.com recognizes that the hotel does not show on my account. However, they will not refund me for their mistake. They cancelled on my account, but did not cancel with the hotel. I am contesting the charge with my credit card company, American Express. I have made several calls to Hotels.com. They offered me vouchers (for future reservations!) for less than half of the erroneous charges. The hotel has confirmed that the reservation was through Hotels.com, but they will not reverse the charges. The loss to me is ~$1250.00.

    Expedia has been horrible to work with online. They did not have the correct airport codes come up and flights were incorrect and almost made us lose a whole trip. Return flights were booked with confirmation and funds were accepted but they did not have a record of the return flight making us have to call in again and be on the phone for an hour to resolve. A small coupon was issued for the inconvenience and when the coupon was going to be redeemed the website did not process the coupon. We had to call customer service who had to cancel the reservation and create a whole new reservation to apply the coupon and was informed the website was going through "maintenance" which is why the coupon didn't work although this was not disclosed anywhere on the site and we then had to wait for a refund to process. Will never use this company again.

    Recently booked a flight to Seattle. While I was booking I went ahead and screenshot my final window screen on my computer which showed how much the total trip was going to be. After I put in all my information and click submit, the next page showed that it was confirm but the price went up!! Instead of charging $581 to my card the total was now $620. Of course I couldn't do anything about it then because it already went through so I called Expedia customer service right away. A girl named Crystal picked up the call and had no customer service experience at all. You need some manners and learn how to stop talking over people Ms. Crystal. She was saying some crap like she had to go back and look at my step by step transaction and that there was a little window that popped up in the color of "green" to say that the price went up. Uh.. I have a copy of my screenshot at the END right before I CLICK submit for it to go through.

    Oh and she also had the nerve to tell me that "she can't help it that the airlines bumped the price up" and couldn't do anything to help me. Well Ms. Crystal you just wasted 10 minutes of my life putting me on HOLD for something that you can't do. Oh and how about she said it's going to take 3 business days of almost a week to get my money back on my CC. Well hello... I booked a flight cause I needed it. I booked it cause the price was good. Not for you all or the airlines to bump the price up. Do I look like I have 3-7 days to get my money back to book another flight!! I don't have all the money in the world. I'm so pissed.

We called Expedia ca where we booked our replacement trip after cancelling 1st trip and were told one is not connected to the other and if we wanted to cancel we would be out of pocket another 600! dollars.

This was the second time they had done this crap. First time I went to check in and the room they booked wasn't even available and my fiancee sat on the phone in my truck for 2 hours trying to get it all straightened out.

    BEWARE! Booked a vacation with their "Bundle Deals" Airfare & Hotel at 12 noon. After further reading the reviews after booking I decided 7 hours later (well within the 24 hour change period) to switch hotels. Once the hotel was switched I asked the customer service rep the total of the change only to find out I was no longer getting the "Bundle Deal" because I would've had to cancel everything (hotel and airfare) at once to receive it.

    I was never informed of this prior to her charging my credit card and after being switched to 2 supervisors all which kept saying "I'm very sorry for this." They didn't even listen to what I had to say and spoke to me as if they were reading from a script. I was told I couldn't cancel anything at this point as the hotel was non-refundable. The difference was $389.19 that I got taken for. It's disgusting that a large company like Expedia could get away with this. Avoid them at all costs. I will from now on. I rarely if ever have given a bad review even if service was "just ok", but this was highway robbery!

    I cancelled two airline tickets due to medical reasons in February 2016. I was told by Expedia via email that they will refund the money back to my original form of payment (credit card) within 6 weeks. Months went by and I never saw the money deposited back into my account. When I called, they told me that the money has been sent already but it hasn't. I continued to wait for the money but never saw it. I called several other times and each time they would tell me that it was already sent. They asked for my credit card statement for the last two years, which is ridiculous but I complied and provided my statements to them indicating that no money was returned. After seeing my statements and acknowledging that the money was not returned, they told me that EVA airlines cannot find the flight information about the cancellation.

    When I called EVA airlines. They in fact were able to retrieve my information and that the money from the cancellation had already been refunded to Expedia. This has been ongoing for over almost a year but each I call, I keep getting put on hold for hours only to be disconnected. In the final letter sent to me, they said that there is nothing they can do and suggest that I have the credit card company chase the money. I called the credit card company and was told that they cannot do anything because it is out of the time frame allotted to dispute a charge. At this point, I'm out of options. I would not recommend anybody to deal with this company again. They are not reliable and definitely not an honest business.

    I had purchased 3 tickets for my aunts and my mother to Mexico for vacation. When we went to check in for our flight I had no problem (I booked my flight separately as I wasn't going to be staying as long as they were), and handed over my bag. My aunts, no problem, they got on just fine. My mother, not so much. Her last name, due to marital status, changed. Her passport reads her married name, but her ticket read her previous name. We tried to reason with the attendants at the check-in counter that it was her and even showed her license with her 2 last names. They told us, since her name on the reservation didn't match the name on her passport, we would have to call Expedia to change the reservation. Ok, no problem, we called and were promised that they would work on this, expeditiously. NOT. The representative kept putting me on hold and promising that the name change was almost done.

    We paid a hefty fee to get this done. When the name change was finally complete, it was 2 minutes after check in was closed!!! No kidding, 2 minutes! We tried to check in, unfortunately the attendants wouldn't let us check in, even though they were helping us with figuring out the name change. So, we missed our flight, my bag was checked and on its way to the underbelly of the plane, and my mom still had hers. So, I did the next best thing, get on the next flight. Yeah, right! The next flight was the following day, and it was full. Only thing available was the next following day. I try to book it at the counter, however I can't, because I need to go through Expedia, since they were the ones handling my travel plans. I get on the phone again and explain my situation, and get put on hold AGAIN! This is ridiculous, after 35 minutes I hang up and try again. I want to speak to a supervisor and get placed on the line with one within 10 minutes.

    We agree to get me on another flight, for a fee (of course, right?). "Ok, let's book me and my mom too, with the correct last name." "Sure no problem. Let me just put you on hold." 30 mins...1 hour..."Thanks for your patience", yeah sure, uh-huh. "It'll be a few more moments, we're on the line with the airline to get you these tickets." Ok, no problem. Another hour passes, "Ma'am, we see that your mother's return flight was cancelled." "I'm sorry, what, why?" "Well ma'am, when she failed to check in, it was a no show." "She didn't forget to check in though, we were there, just waiting for her to get her name changed on her boarding pass!!!" "Ok, ma'am, we're on the line trying to fix this error. Please stay on the line for a bit." My call drops...(they try to reach me and leave a voice mail, of the hold music! 3 hours later! I'm at my wits end, I want to just cancel this bloody trip.

    "I want all my money back, my fees you've (Expedia) been charging me along the way!" I'm about to cancel, when a very compassionate representative tries to help me out. Convincing me to keep my travel plans, she transfers me to her supervisor. I just want this phone nightmare to end. But hour 5 is creeping up on me and I'm still waiting. This is one of the worst experiences in my life! Now, I have to get my aunts to bring me my luggage back.

    I had booked a flight and hotel and had to cancel due to unexpected circumstances. I called Expedia and after three customer service reps and two customer service supervisors and five hours later I still wasn't able to get anything resolved the first day I called. I contacted the airline direct to confirm what I was being told by Expedia and was given completely different information than what Expedia was telling me. Airline was willing to waive the cancellation fee, but Expedia said airline wasn't willing. I confirmed again with airline and they said decisions were up to Expedia as this was a non-published fare.

    I had follow on call with Expedia. This time they said they would change the flight reservation but I had to make the change while on the phone per the airlines, then later while waiting for Expedia to come back to me after being put on hold again they said "ok airline will give you to end of the day to make a change." I again confirmed with airline if this was the case and was told this is an Expedia decision. On my second call with Customer Service Supervisor I was asked for my number and was told I would get a return call if disconnected. Well after over an hour and a half I was disconnected and never received a call back.

    I called Expedia the next day at 11:15 am and the Customer Service Representative said they tried but they can't credit the full refund as they don't have authority. I asked who does have authority and they said the Customer Service Supervisor. I asked to again be transferred. This customer service supervisor they said they can't waive the cancellation fee due to policy. I was then told they would change the flight but it would be a change fee of $200. I was just told the day before that they would change the flight for a cost of $90.56. How do you get two different stories from Expedia within a day. They seem to try any tactic to keep you from cancelling or changing a flight.

    I was then told they would transfer me to the Corporate office. I waited another 10 minutes and another Customer Service Supervisor came onto the phone. This time he told me that I didn't change the flight yesterday and I now wanted to cancel the flight after the time period given to change the flight had passed. I told him I was on the phone last night with a supervisor who was checking with airlines, got disconnected and never got a call back as I was told by the Supervisor and now this Supervisor is saying it is my fault that nothing got completed yesterday. I told him I thought I was being transferred to Corporate office, he then said "hold on. I'll transfer you to Corporate office."

    I waited another 16 minutes and got transferred to Corporate Customer Service. Corporate Customer Service was now telling me that there would be a $200 cancellation fee for each ticket and I would be refunded $662.80. I told them yesterday I was told by a number of Customer Service representatives and Supervisors that the cost of the flight was $1,153.36 so why is it now different today and I'm being charged another $90.56 on top of the $400 cancellation fee. The Corporate Customer Service person said "it was because we don't reimburse taxes."

    I said "so I paid for a flight including taxes and now I'm not being reimbursed for what I paid minus the cancellation." She said that is policy and then went on to say "you were told that you could change the flight but it had to be done by 11 pm last night which you didn't do that." I said I was told that I would be called back if disconnected and now it is my fault that I didn't call back again after spending over five hours on the phone waiting for Expedia to talk to me. She said "you could have called back prior to 11 pm." The Corporate person now again put me on hold and said they would call the airlines. Once again I waited on the phone for another 38 minutes. The corporate representative came back and said there is nothing they can do and I'd be charged the $200 cancellation fee per flight.

    So in total on the 2nd day I spent another 2 hours without resolution. In total for 2 days I spent over 7 hours on the phone with Expedia (most of it on hold). Worst customer service organization I have ever dealt with. Expedia will tell you it isn't them and they can't do anything and blame everything on the airlines. However, it is Expedia's decision. Every time I called I complained about length of time I was on hold and was assured it wouldn't be as long this time. Every time I spent hours on hold. I would not use Expedia for airline reservations as it is impossible to get anything done after flight booked.

    Yesterday, 1/10/2017, I booked hotel reservations for the Marriott Dadeland, Miami, FL. I thought that I was on the Marriott website, but was actually on a Reservation.com website, which apparently is Expedia. This in itself is deceiving, as Expedia makes their website almost exact to the hotel website. Expedia advertises low room rates if you pay for your reservation in advance, so I accepted that offer. After the charges came through on my credit card I called Reservation.com and asked for a breakdown of the $136.11 taxes and fees charge. The agent instructed me to call the Marriott directly for a breakdown of the taxes and fees, however the Marriott does not have access to Expedia invoices. I did receive tax rate information from the Marriott. Total taxes that should be charged for the 3-night room stay should be $94.39. There is a difference in taxes of $41.72.

    I made several calls back to Expedia/Reservations.com and they are not able to provide a breakdown of the taxes and fees. I am being charged $242.12 for each night (advertised charge was $242.00), plus $136.11 in taxes and fees, plus $14.99 service charge - the total comes to $877.46. If I booked directly with the Marriott total charges would be $820.75. Expedia/Reservations.com advertises low room rates, but does not disclose the additional taxes and fees that they charge and do not provide a breakdown of those fees.

    I looked on their website and there are multiple complaints similar to mine, and also from individuals that have endured a worse experience than mine. There are also several articles written on this particular SCAM - why are they allowed to continue to conduct sneaky business in this manner? I intend to dispute the additional charges with my credit card company for the additional taxes and fees until they disclose the actual charges. I also plan to write to their executive leadership and board of directors about my experience and to inform them of the filing of this complaint.

It took 3 hrs of back and forth calling and me beginning to cry hysterically and threaten to sue them for them to just end up refunding my credit card that will still be later charged but Affirm and not refunding Affirm as they were suppose to. They offered ZERO compensation for the unacceptable refund fiasco and continued to tell me that I wasn't basically making it up. After sending them screenshots of the total amount paid how it was paid for they still insisted it wasn't correct.

    I can NOT believe how poorly they handled this. Even after having proof of Affirm the loan company paying the full amount they still refused to refund me the correct amount. I also sent the screen shot showing where when you pick the Affirm option they pay ALL of it in advanced. They offer a service they have no education on.

Itinerary #: **. On August 29, 2016 my flight was canceled due to problem with flight company under name Dynamic Airways. I tried to rebook to another flight but Expedia offered me a double amount from the original package. They did not even try to match original deal. So I have to cancel complete package.

    I called Expedia and canceled the flight and they told me that refund will be issued from Dynamic Airways in 4 to 6 weeks for the amount of my tickets for $1,004.28 (each ticket $334.76). Also I had to cancel the hotel because I could get to it. No flights were available, only very expensive that I could not afford. Expedia start play with with me that they cannot cancel my hotel but after multiple calls they finally cancel NY hotel and I got a refund.

    So I waited patiently for my flight refund and after 7 weeks I called Expedia and told them that I did not get anything. They told me that in their records Dynamic Airways already issued a refund in September and should contact Dynamic Airways directly because this is not Expedia problem. I did contact Dynamic Airways and they told me that they try to issue a refund in September but the computer system had a problem, and should wait for refund in December.

    I called Expedia multiple times and spoke to a different managers, and even send my bank account statement showing that I did not receive any refund for the flights. Their answer: "That is not our problem anymore. Contact Dynamic Airways." Ok but I did not book a trip with them. Expedia did. They is my travel agent and they should take care of their customers. I also tried to contact Dynamic Airways but they not answering. I left multiple messages and no respond.

When I was looking and searching for a care I put date 1/6 to 1/11 just to look for available cars. Then I found on Expedia an offer for $82 weekly rate, and at the bottom of the screen a reservation button that I hit to reserve for one week without going back and changing the date. So when I went to pick up the car from Budget they did not want to change it to a whole week instead of 1/6 - 1/11, and advised me to pick the car with the wrong reservation date 1/6-11 and call Expedia to change to whole week from 1/6 to 1/13.

    I called Expedia to change the dates for my car that I already picked to one week from 1/6 to 1/13 so I don't have to cut my vacation and travel prematurely on 1/11/17, but they couldn't change it. They advised me to a screenshot that shows your advertised weekly rate of $82 to customer service as a proof of my claim in an effort to make you change it to one week from 1/6 to 1/13 instead of 1/6 to 1/11. I spent 2 hours on the phone with Expedia customer service and sent 5 e-mails without any help.

He said the Philippines. He said that I had to pay for the room again. So, I asked him why I should pay for it, since it was their system that screwed up!? So I told him to go ahead and charge my card, and I will never use Expedia ever again, and I will let everyone know not to use them. So he said he sent me 2 receipts in my email. The funny thing was, they were the same receipt from the original transaction! This guy was a real dumbass!

    Where do I begin? To demonstrate how frustrated I am, this is the first ever review I have written. I tried to cancel my reservations because my itinerary changed. It was unbelievably difficult to cancel my hotel reservation. First when I called the customer service number (as given on the website), I waited over ten minutes. Finally got an agent who explained that she couldn't help. Then she said she would transfer me to the appropriate agent. Instead I was transferred to another automated system where I had to wait again. The new agent's accent was impossible to understand. She clearly dragged it out and attempted to prevent me from canceling.

    While waiting on the phone, I tried to cancel online. After 15 minutes, I could not find any way to cancel. BTW, I am a savvy Internet user. Again, I felt that the company made it purposely difficult to cancel. This borders on misrepresentation. As a person who has a busy schedule this wasted an unproportion amount of my time. Beware! If you try to cancel, you're screwed.

    I booked a hotel in Thailand. I used Expedia because their price was the cheapest. At the time I was comparing with another company and talking on the phone to that company. I told them that Expedia were cheaper and the person I was speaking to asked me to check if the price included local taxes, as this was Thailand where the Tax is 20% so it is important. The email confirmation said it did include the Tax but I decided to check by telephone. My call was directed to Bangalore where I was told that the price did not include the Tax. When I explained I had an email saying it did include the tax the lady told me it definitely didn't. She was going to check and I waited 10 minutes on the phone. No one rang back.

    Expedia appears to be operating a racketeering business with the major airlines and hotels. Although I understand a non-refund policy on a airline ticket, however a non-refund or credit when an emergency situation arises and there has to be a change to an airline ticket it totally unreasonable. Emergencies are quite normal. In my case I purchased a Delta Airline ticket for my God-daughter's graduation from Army basic training in San Antonio. Initially I was told that the graduation was Sat 1/7/2017. I later learned that the graduation is actually Friday 1/6/2017. The fact that I was denied an opportunity to change this reservation or given a credit is a very poor business practice. Ripping consumers off like this is totally unacceptable.

    We booked a flight/hotel package through expedia.ca a month or so before the actual vacation for the two of us (a couple) from Vancouver to Honolulu, Hawaii. Hotel was booked for 4 nights and 4 days at Hawaii. Flight had a transit stopover of 1.5 hours at Seattle before boarding the 2nd flight to final destination. I got an email from the Airlines (Delta) six hours before the departure time of 6 am that the first flight is delayed by 1 hr and 15 mins. Hence I may be missing the connection! It asked me to review the other options and book through Delta website asap. The best available option is a very similar route (with a 1.5 hrs stopover in Seattle) departing late in afternoon at 3 pm and reaching Hawaii at 10 pm (10 hour delay from original plan!). I was reluctant to re-book this since the same thing can happen again but I did so due to other limited options of traveling a day later.

    Lo and behold, I got an email again. This time 4 hours before departure that the first flight is again delayed. The other options provided will effectively cut one day of our vacation at Hawaii! During this difficult time of figuring out what to do with Delta, we tried contacting Expedia and requested them to re-book us through any other airline or hotel if possible. All I heard from customer rep is that IT IS MY PROBLEM WITH THE AIRLINE AND HE CANNOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. When I asked him "Since Expedia brokered this deal for me, can't you figure out any alternatives for me with the hotel booking to compensate for my lost vacation time?" His response was "so, am I supposed to help you for airline's mistakes?" He then puts me on hold for 30 long minutes and came back and said "I talked to hotel and without paying another $1000 or so for a night, nothing can be done about your lost time."

    I agree that it's not their fault that the flight got canceled twice but the manner in which they react was very rude and indifferent. The attitude was as if he is the customer and I am the one trying to beg him for a sale. I realized then and there that I will not be using their services any longer. I would rather pay a couple of hundred dollars more and get a better service from a quality service provider than these cheapo deal brokers who don't know how to treat a dissatisfied and a helpless customer.

    My girlfriend and I booked our vacation flight from the US to Denmark over Christmas Holiday. Our flight was cancelled twice, and 32 hrs later we finally boarded our flight. Not their fault. What was so utterly exhausted us was not receiving any updates or information (our apt was sitting waiting for us, at 250.00 a night). Any call we made went to customer service in the Philippines. Their agents in the Philippines were unable to speak English clearly. Every question we had resulted in them having to make a phone call to the airline, and eventually come back to us 45 min later, with virtually no information. It took us 15 HOURS on the phone over 2 days, to find out nothing. The airline couldn't answer any questions or help us because we booked through Expedia. Expedia couldn't do anything for us, because they don't speak English, and have the skills of chimps.

    It really put a damper on my one and only trip to Europe. I finally got a supervisor who spoke English from the US, and after 15 hours on the phone, he did nothing to help us, either. Frankly, if you book through them there is NO benefit to you-you actually shoot yourself in the foot if there is a problem. I'm actually shocked that a large company is able to survive in this day and age, offering such crappy service. A rep from the airline suggested we never use them. He said that he's been "an agent for 25 years, and has never seen anything like it", regarding their service. He said that his airline had been trying to "help for days, re: This flight, and none of the Expedia people had even the basic skills to use a keyboard". Why it took so many hours on the phone was just Ridiculous. They would take info from us, put us on hold forever, then come back on the phone to repeat what they had said earlier.

Each time different people asking the same question that I must do cancellation online. Why I wanna trouble myself to keep on calling and sending emails if I can do it online? Then they change topic that they can't trace my booking and they have make a report to their service team.

    After few emails sent to them, I forward them the root cause of the whole incident with the date and customer service's name. No response and they just kicking me like a ball. At last, Car Trawler concluded by sending a mail to me that I failed to pick up my car and therefore no refund. Expedia is a scam! Thanks for the great cheated lesson. No more Expedia.

    I totally agreed that Expedia do not have trained professionals who can 'help' you as they claimed. I have yet given the full details of a flight date change due to a health emergency for my air tickets and they are quoting me almost 10k SGD for not even checking the fare difference. I am utterly disgusted with the immediate 'no' for their response. And after calling and waiting for 6 hours over 2 days I have to top up fares that is as good as paying for new tickets. Expedia is ripping people off. Their customer service is almost impossible. Not in English and with an accent. They are most unwilling to help. Even calling the airlines directly, they have better assistance and willing to change the ticket dates and waive off any penalties or charge. The airlines have mentioned that there are plenty of seats on the airlines which Expedia lied almost immediately that there are none left on the flight!

    I will bring the case to consumer council and ensure that Expedia do not cheat people with lower hand means of quoting and re-quoting airfares that varied from 10k to 2k in the end. The customer service are impossible to reach and when reached impossible to help which throughout my call with them have at least reassured me 7 times that they are helping me. I am having the feeling that they are much more in distress then I am.

    This is an utter disappointment. It was my first trial with them and it will definitely be my last. I am a blogger/reporter and will report this case and may write short columns of whatever media coverage I can lay hands on to consumers not using Expedia. It is most terrible. It have very much inconvenienced the consumers and nonetheless created more distress. Inflexible and their statement of changing dates just by paying a price difference refers to a price difference of business or first class (but you are still traveling on economy).

    Customer service are not collected or calm but a lot of emotions and have given me lecture on my likes or dislikes. When asked for their full name, they mentioned it is company policy that they cannot mention their surname? I am in awe! I am truly disgusted I truly am! Whatever means I can or word of mouth, I will insist and spread widely, Expedia is definitely NOT the option for you!!! As it made me feels like I am dealing with robots void of empathy. They are not equipped with trained professionals but probably outsourced their customer service in some third world countries which cannot relate to issues posted and dealt by them.

    Expedia feels like a scam and unorthodox merchant. I'd rather purchase directly from an airline which they are much more able to deal with issues at any level and at any time. Since you will pay the heavier price ultimately, why waste your time on this kind of agent which does not advocate or represent your needs. Utterly disgusted.

On the last call I was asked to wait for two minutes and I never got called back. I tried calling the number back after about one hour of waiting and got a recorded message informing me that the number was inaccessible to incoming calls. I had to call Expedia again and explain the situation again to another attendant to try and solve the issue once and for all, but I found out that they had no record of my previous contact and also that I would be charged two cancellation fees of $197.43 each, which adds up to almost $400.00 AND NO HOTEL RESERVATION for New Year's Eve.

    I expressed my dissatisfaction to Damon, my second attendant, and he said I would be contacted by Expedia within 48h, as they would TRY to cancel one of the cancellation fees. I lost hours of my day trying to solve this issue and I could have used this time to book another reservation elsewhere. Instead I was told to hold on and wait to see if Expedia could solve my problem - and they didn't.

In that month I couldn't use my ticket so I canceled it and got the credit for next flight ticket. So when the time came to buy air ticket I thought I would be able to use my previous credit to buy a new one, so I called the Expedia told them I would like to use my credit and buy a new one. They said I can use my credit but I have to pay $200 to used that credit. I was totally pissed, the ticket price goes the same price as buying a ticket without credit and I had to buy it because I needed to get a flight ticket. No one really told me when I use my credit I have to pay additional $200 to use previous credit if it's so why they are even selling flight insurance... Besides the booking experience, the flying experience was bad also, they was flight delay for 6 hours and the transit flight didn't wait me so I had to sleep at the transit place.

    Next day I flied with another flight and when I got to airport and baggage claim time, my luggage was not there. It was not with the plane. I had to wait to get my luggage one night and got it only after next day after noon time. I was in same clothes from the beginning of the time started flying, the whole day, the night I stay at transit city, the next day the whole day and the whole another night.

    I saw flights I wanted at a good price of about £620 per ticket. I went through the Expedia booking process, checking all my details were correct before submitting. When I got to the confirmation page, I had been charged £1340 or £670 per ticket. I had no warning that the price had changed during my booking, and promptly phoned Expedia. When I re-ran the search on Expedia, the original price was still showing. I would've been happy to keep the tickets if they refunded the difference in fare ie about £100. But I was told I had to cancel in the next 20 mins, and then rebook. Then the woman who I spoke to said the flights had gone up to £4000 for two and maybe I should not cancel and agree to pay £670 per ticket. This sounded like a big con to me, so I cancelled. One hour later, the flights reappeared, so I contacted Expedia by phone and paid £618x2 as I originally wanted.

    Two days later, I had been charged £618 x2 for the tickets I wanted, and also £665 x2 for the flights I had cancelled. Expedia assured me these would be refunded. However, my account was overdrawn even though I had funds to cover these payments, and when I contacted my bank they said that Expedia had placed a further £1290 on hold! This figure was bizarrely one of the cheaper fares and one of the expensive fares ie £618+£670. My bank said the transaction would not go through as they had no authorisation code, but nevertheless I was £900 overdrawn, ruining Xmas!

    Expedia assured me the £665x2 would be refunded within 5 working days. However, one week later, it hadn't been. When I called them, they said that it transpired that the refund hadn't been processed before their midnight deadline. Consequently, they would have to re-listen to the recorded conversation to confirm that I had been promised a refund, before they would process it! The following day one of their representatives called to say that they had contacted Lufthansa to request the refund, but Lufthansa were only willing to repay the taxes of £205.

    Expedia said they would refund the rest inside 7 calendar days, but the amount from Lufthansa may take 12 weeks to be refunded. Two days later, Expedia had refunded their share, and offered a £50 credit to spend with them – they agreed to increase it to £75 but the voucher is only valid for a year and has to be used with them, which I am unlikely to do following my experience this time. It may be March before Lufthansa return the rest of my money, which is clearly ridiculous. That was my experience of booking with Expedia. I travel fairly regularly and have had no such problems booking direct with airlines. I tried Expedia as they offered the best price for the open-jaw, multiple-airline itinerary I wanted, but the experience was quite dreadful as you can see.

    Where do I begin? Avoid booking anything with Expedia or you might not get what you booked. Be very careful with their buggy website or you'll have to deal with their customer service. I recently booked a flight with Expedia and decided to book a hotel because they were offering me discounts on hotels because of my booked flight and ability to use points to pay for it. Sounds like a great deal right? Except the website is very misleading. You click on any changes for any reason while using your points and you'll be put back into the normal $ site. It asks you for your Credit card for the purpose of the reservation but in fact it is putting the entire charge on your card instead of using points. Buyers beware.

    Dealing with customer service is a chore and requires a lot of patience but no results. I spent almost 2 hours with a representative who obviously can speak English, but seem to be reading off a script and not understanding very well. He finally understood the problem but was very unhelpful in convincing the hotel manager to reverse the charge and rebook the same room with points. In fact, after he told me the hotel manager was not able to do it, I talked to the manager and he said he could. Just needed Expedia to send him email to authorize it.

    So in the process of trying to fix all of this, I noticed that my flight info has changed. Expedia went ahead and changed my flights without informing me because supposedly the airlines changed the schedule. At least I was able to cancel and rebook. The moral of this story is avoid Expedia like the plague. You might not get what you booked and you most certainly won't get any help from customer service.

    While on a 7 day vacation in Mexico from Dec 12th to 18th, Expedia sends me an email on Dec 16th with this subject "URGENT: PLEASE CALL Flight change for MY_NAME" claiming that my flight has been cancelled by Air Transit and I need to call Expedia ASAP. I called them multiple times and was put on hold for over 45 minutes. I then tried the request call back option, Expedia automated system was quick to call back and put me on hold again (ARE YOU SERIOUS).

    This continue the whole day and I decided to email them and ask for options, there was no response for 2 days to my emails. We checked with Air Transat and they confirmed there was never a 2:00 pm flight, not sure what Expedia has sold us but Flight TS269 from CUN on Dec 18th is supposed to depart at 8:00 pm. With 2 little kids in my group and without a room for half day, it was terrible. I wasted 2 days trying to get in touch with them (will get a huge bill for roaming charges). EXPEDIA YOU DROPPED THE BALL AND LOST ME AS A CUSTOMER FOR EVER.

    In Jan 2016 Expedia had a trip from Boston direct to South Caicos for $5,000+ for 2 weeks. When I discovered they made a mistake and it was not a direct trip but stopped in Providenciales. I called and canceled my trip. Expedia said they would give me a full refund. However, they only refunded me for the Hotel and kept $2,400 of my money in an Expedia JetBlue account. I have only used half of the money. They refuse to refund it. The Wash. BBB did no good. Last week after 6 hours on the cell, they said they booked me a new flight and it turned out to be bogus. JetBlue had no listings. Do not deal with them. They are not reputable. The airfare was way overbooked. Plus they kept Travel insurance money for $392. I am going to small claims court and sue them for Treble damages.

    I am very disappointed at the service of Expedia. I made a call from Melbourne to book my ticket home to Singapore. My flight leaving 16 December 2016 @ 1220hrs. After made a booking I call 2 hours later to add weight to my baggage, and was told by a staff by the name of Swayam wait for a moment and he made me waited for 1hour 17mins. Finally I hang up. Call back again. Speak to Nichal and was told he will transfer me to the flight department Kiren from the flight department assist me and as normal ask me to hold on. Then this time I tell him don't ask me wait for a moment. The last time a moment turn into 1hour 17mins. He said he try and I still have to wait for 12 min before finally telling me that Expedia could not add the baggage. I would need to do it at the airport or online.

    My perspective was why are Expedia employed inexperienced staff to handle customers? The service is very bad I really think emirates and Qantas should assess outsource company before allowed them to collaborate with you. I would never booked a flight with Expedia anymore. Expedia office in Melbourne has a very bad customer service don't really understand English.

    Never been so disappointment. Can say Expedia ruin my vacation my honeymoon. Me and my husband plan this vacation for a year saving money dollar to dollar.

    When we finally found the perfect deal to Cancun Mexico in price 3023.57$ for a couple (hotel+flights) when I tried to book it the price automatically jump to 3187.57$ under headline - "Your price has changed." Tried again with refreshing page and same 3023.57$ changed to 3187.57$. When I called to support they didn't could explain it! Barely speak English (even the manager). After 2 hours on the phone with them we agreed for another deal for 3189.47$. Booking this deal took another hour. When finally booked I got the email and then I see the guy that verify with me couple times the names made a mistake!!! My name is Daria **. My husband name is Leon **. He wrote it ** leon and Daria Leon!!!

    First of all the name should start with capital letters. He wrote ** leon only. Second name he wrote Daria Leon. Then he knew my husband first name is Leon because he spoke with me and say "tell Leon I am sorry about time"!!! After I notice that is a problem and told him he became extremely rude to me and said that now we need to cancel it. And he transfer me to customer service. It took another 40 minute. When I tried to tell the lady on the phone that I don't want to cancel just to correct HIS mistake she wasn't be able to help me.

    When we finally cancel everything step by step she told me "perfect. Now the money will return to your account in 5 BUSINESS DAYS"!!! I am so shocked that I have no words. I just start cried. Now I have no any money on my account to book another vacation!!! Only in 5 days!! I spent on the phone close to 4 hours for nothing!! I have all screenshots about the jumping price.

    Based on my experience, Expedia is professional in selling problem rather than solution. Last Sunday, I bought a ticket on Expedia and find no record on the airline's official website, so I call Expedia's customer service. Guess what, they said the ticket is not confirmed due to the price change, and want me to pay additional $300. Fine, as far as you can solve the problem, I can bear it. But guess what, they rebooked me a coach ticket with my payment for premium class!!! Fine, I call again, and they assure me that the ticket will be booked, but guess what again? On day 3, with no surprise I found my ticket was canceled with no new booking, and I get this information from the airline's customer service rather than the Expedia.

    Expedia just lie to my face again and again, I guess if I didn't call the airline I will never know the ticket has been canceled until the day I try to board the flight. So I called again, and with no surprise, the "expert" asked me to pay the surcharge of $1300 to fill the gap. Expedia, would you like to answer my question here: Is this your way to do business?! By frauding people, lying to their face and force them to pay extra money at the last minute? I guess I am not alone, and hope my experience here can help some other people to avoid this dirty website.

    They up the prices on hotels like crazy... Then you get to the hotel and you get charged $30 more cause Expedia doesn't give you an idea of just how much the extra hotel fees are. I've never had this issue on other sites. Never again will I use them. I was just in a rush and didn't think about checking here first for reviews. Expedia did at least tell us valet would be $14.

    Booked with Economy Car thru Expedia, when I was taken off-site for the vehicle, I was advised there were insurance charges, I was advised I could "go back to the airport" for a different rental. The contract was written up by Signature even though the Expedia contract was explicit with Economy and no insurance. The service, was slow and horrible with no happy faces, everyone taking pictures of the vehicles to ensure no additional charges. This was with travelers from San Diego, Dallas and Toronto, basically to bad about your insurance, (they probably don't even activate their own anyway). They are probably all in on the deal but since we fly from 2000 miles away, who are we going to complain to?

    Need to cancel or change a reservation, apparently cannot. It wasn't mentioned that I couldn't in any of booking information. Expedia keeps me on hold for 30+ minutes so I hang up and call the hotel to cancel. They say I must do it through Expedia so I call Expedia again and go through their incredibly long, automated process only to be told I'll be charged the full cost of the hotel to cancel and that it is a hotel policy to do so. I'm not going to pay $130 for a hotel room I'm not going to use so I call the hotel again and they say, that is not their policy and that Expedia has to make any and all changes.

    Now, I'm just trying to change the reservation so I sit on hold for 15 minutes with Expedia because I am told that the hotel cannot make any changes to my reservation since I used Expedia. All I want is to actually talk to someone so now I am waiting for a call back from Expedia which I almost guarantee isn't coming. Last time I use Expedia.com and I caution everyone else to never use them again as well. Their customer service is non-existent and even when things are their fault, they won't accept the blame.

After all that was done and paid for Expedia sent and email and text stating that my room was booked as well as a confirmation number. So as I arrived at the hotel I asked the front desk about my reservation and the hotel told me that they saw my reservation and IT number through Expedia. So about ten minutes later I received an email from Expedia stating that my reservation was canceled. I immediately call Expedia and spoke with one of their representatives and he told me that it was canceled by the processing department and that he could not see any notes. So I asked him to transfer me to his manager or supervisor. The supervisor told me that they refunded my card and that I would have to wait 30 mins to an hour for the processing department to call me and explain why they canceled my reservation.

    I then explained to her that there is no problem with my card because I paid for my reservation and that it is my card so there should be no issue. I also let her know that I called my card to check my balance and it is not refunded so she said there is nothing she could do because they flagged my card and refunded that money back and that it could take up to 3-5 days for me to receive my refund. Well here's the issue that was all the money I had and they took it. I will never ever, ever, ever book anything with Expedia. They are heartless!!

    IT'S THE WORST! I bought a ticket with Expedia, immediately from my purchase I see it on another page (skyscanner) at $206 below what I pay, I look for the best price guarantee and I see that all the requirements that they request to match you that price I gathered. It is a page in English, the prices are in dollars. It is the same flight, leaving the msmo day and at the same time, of course I put the claim.

    I found it strange not to receive a confirmation and called again the following afternoon. The girl who answered told me that it was too early that she had to wait more than 24 hours. I said I want to know why, but I cancel it right now because within 24 hours there is no cancellation penalty. She told me not to Worry and wait. Passed 2 more days and I did not receive a reply and I send the receipt again and also call again for the second time, but they answered that I did not qualify because they had already passed the 24 hours. I told him how it can be if I send it the same day and It is more. When 12 hours have elapsed I call because I found it strange not to receive an automatic response email and then the man who answered me told me that if it was true he was seeing that I called and he gave me the case number and that please resend it.

    I did it again, but to make the story shorter now I was told that I send the best price guarantee for another page? The truth is that it is a shame that they play with the money of the people and with the time or of a MISLEADING ADVERTISEMENT!!!

    EXPEDIA ACTUALLY OUTRIGHT LIED ABOUT OUR FILE WHEN THEY REALIZED HOW IN THE WRONG THEY WERE. They changed the details of our file once we escalated our complaint to legal status. The story is as follows. We booked Expedia flights for our NonProfit Health work in Africa. Realizing that our outgoing flight was severely delayed, we called Expedia from Africa to request them to move our next booking ahead. Agent did not understand English and made us repeat the most basic information 7-10 times, claiming that they could not see the information in our file. They took our credit card details 5 times in order to process the flight change, and assured us that the flights would be changed. This call lasted over 1.5 hours then ended abruptly when our plane was taking off from the runway.

    In London, we approached BA desk to find out what flight we were moved to, and they informed us that Expedia did not change the flights. We missed important international meetings relating to our work in Africa, were forced to take taxis and trains to other airports in order to get to our next destination and pay for hotels when one would have been required. This is the clincher.

    Upon coming home to Canada, calling Expedia to get a resolution, being told by several agents that they could see the first agent wrote in the file that they were going to change the original booking and wondered why they did not etc, speaking to a supervisor in El Salvador who promised to call me back within 24h after listening to the original phone call from Nairobi, me calling three days later starting the whole story over after not hearing from them, getting to another supervisor in India who said that yes she could see we had called from Nairobi, then that new supervisor (after keeping me on hold for over one hour 18 minutes) stated that Expedia was not going to honour the refund I had been promised, using a made up and nonsensical excuse, at which point I asked for their legal department and had my call rerouted from India to USA.

    A very abrasive, defensive man got on the line and said that there was no record of our call from Nairobi to Expedia, and that we only reported the issue after we had already missed the flight. EXPEDIA ACTUALLY OUTRIGHT LIED ABOUT OUR FILE WHEN THEY REALIZED HOW IN THE WRONG THEY WERE. He did not deny that Expedia had no accountability to its customers and that there was no legal recourse for its customers. He refused to give me a contact name, phone number or email address for a legal representative of Expedia and instead was dismissive and rude, telling me that if I chose to go that route, my lawyer would have to figure out how to contact them.

    In this case, Expedia is in fact stealing money from a NonProfit Organization that works with mothers and babies in Africa. Their behaviour is criminal, they have zero capacity to troubleshoot problems and quite frankly, they think that their customers have no rights. We will no longer be using Expedia to book flights; any potential savings are utterly outweighed by their total disregard for consumer rights and their lack of respect towards their customers. They are the epitome of what is so wrong with corporate America!!

When I called them I spent over 20 minutes on the phone, mostly on hold because I refused to let them tell me that this booking was non-refundable. If you say that you are providing a service and do not actually provide a service, then there is reason to refund your customer's money. These guys are crooks and thieves.

This after talking to the manager saying I should come and upgrade personally so I have to go home from a seminar I am attending on that day just to do that.

They required a physician to fill out a form stating the details of the condition and dates, which we did.

The flights have been confirmed and I have e-ticket I couldn't board on the plane on my return 11/29/2016 to Dnepropetrovsk from Tampa. Layover was in Toronto Canadian Airlines staff prohibited me to board because I don't have a Canadian Visa. But, when buying tickets were a warning All passengers traveling to the US must provide valid travel documents and details of their full US destination address for US Immigration., same in Expedia travel confirmation. Nothing about Visa for Canada.

    Immediately at the airport, I asked representatives of United, and being advised to contact the Expedia. I spent about 6 hours on the phone with Expedia. The first representative I spoke, 2 hours before the departure of my aircraft, promised me change my ticket, then after 1.5 hour musical pause reported that she will call back. But she disappeared completely.

    I called again and went through the whole story again. And again Because, next representative also promised to help, but warned that tickets will be $320 with an additional charge. But call being dropped and she also did not called me back. A third representative informed me that I missed the plane, so he can't help me at all. I asked that woman to speak with a MANAGER. She kept me on hold for over 40 minutes and got back on to transfer me to a supervisor. Last, after long arguments and explanations redirected me to the representative of United. United changed my tickets for 3 days later with an additional surcharge of $314. As a result of such negligent attitude to customer service Expedia and United, I lost 6 hours of prepaid phone time, forced to pay an additional unplanned stay, will late for work for 2 days, that is absolutely unacceptable to my work. And for all this I overplayed $314.

    As conclusion I declare that Expedia company which was requested about providing of traveling service - took money for service which was not actually not provided in full capacity and even force me to pay additional money for possibility to return to point of departure. Also Expedia not managed to neglect negative effects made by their fault and made me to negotiate with United Airlines on my own even with taking into account that United Airlines was not seller of service.
