    Tried for two days to book a family vacation through Expedia for Maui. Found hotel, flights, car online tried to book multiple times online, filling out information many times, only to end up in error. Called Expedia. They were glad to help, except the end result was thousands of dollars more. The excuse is, no longer available, prices went up... Yet when I continually try to book online, the price is pretty well the same, +/- a few $$ only. I feel they do this on purpose, so when you call they charge you thousands more, this is terrible and should not be allowed! Very frustrating. Also when I call they say they can't book car, hotel, flight together, car has to be separate. I don't understand, I can "book online" all 3, yet Expedia customer service cannot! Doesn't make sense!

    Booked flights with them and when we came to get on the plane it cost us a further £230 to put 2 suitcases in the hold - no hold baggage included with their flights! They conceal this from you until you arrive at the airport so be very aware of booking anything with Expedia. Also no gluten free food on board and I am a coeliac... no food there or back. I would never use Expedia again!

    Worst service I have ever experienced in my entire life. We booked a flight from London to Jeddah for 4 passengers which cost us £3180. We got to the airport 3 hrs prior to our flight, we were denied checking in as Alitalia airline agents said we need to have a transit visa to stop in Milan and Rome before getting to our Final destination which is Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. We phoned Expedia customer service team and was transferred from one department to another accumulating to around 3 hrs of phone conversations with their shift manager called Anthony and one other called Ejaz.

    At the end, the manager rudely said they will treat our case as a No show and our £3180 is gone. Ridiculous right!! I thought the same... We had to get Alitalia airline Supervisor named Darren at the airport to speak to the said Anthony and confirmed that this was not a case of no show and that we got to the airport 3 hrs before our flight, even at that, Nothing was done. Total rip off. DO NOT BOOK WITH EXPEDIA FOR YOUR OWN GOOD.

    I booked an international flight and in the booking process, added flight insurance, mistakenly. Immediately, I realized I had trip insurance and did not need it, and contacted Expedia (difficult process just navigating to talk to a person), who said, "no problem," and she would reimburse the amount ($224), but it take 2 business cycles (months) for the reimbursement to show on my account. Wow, eh! Contacted them after trip and after 2 cycles (because the reimbursement was not showing), but told that there was no record, and transferred to a "supervisor" who would investigate and get back to me in 48 hours.

    Keep in mind, I had a record of my trip insurance to confirm it was all legitimate. Now, a different supervisor, today, says, "it will take 12 days, not 48 hours" to go back over the original recording to confirm reimbursing of funds ($224) happened. So, they milk some interest on my small funds and employ people who are completely powerless to make decisions. Obviously, I will never deal with Expedia again. Like one of the other reviewers noted, it is challenging to understand them, language-wise, but I understand, and can easily accept that. But the cost in time and staff hours (talked with five different people) for my $224 refund is crazy absurd.

    We ordered a car service for roundtrip pickup from SLC airport to our hotel via Expedia. The car service didn't show up and could not be reached by ourselves or by Expedia. Yet Expedia refused to issue us a refund. We spent an hour waiting around at the airport and roaming on our phones. We also spent more than 2 hours on the phone with Expedia (of our vacation time) and still Expedia refused to refund our payment. I am still in awe that a US organization can accept your money for a service, did not provide the service and still refuse to issue a refund. And this is happening in a developed country where there is consumer protection???

    My sister passed away a couple days ago and my wife and I need to get from Arkansas to California for my sister's funeral services. We don't use credit cards so I put $1,300 in my checking account cash so I could purchase tickets from Expedia. I went online, pick my flights and went and put in my credit card information and hit confirm, about 5 seconds later a screen came up and said that my flight have been sold out press here go back and pick another flight. After I did that and hit confirm it said that my credit card information was not good.

    I rechecked everything and had picked a third flight just to make sure and hit confirm and I got the same ordeal. I opened a second window on my computer and check my bank account to make sure that the cash is gone through and there is a notice on my account that United Airlines had put a hold on $811.60 from my checking account and I have absolutely no confirmation number, No Reservations, no itinerary, nothing. I called Expedia and they could not find any information at all for me. No email, phone number, name, anything. Told me to call United Airlines. I got the same exact thing from United Airlines. They had no information on me at all.

    I went down to my bank and went to customer service and there was nothing they could do. The following day we called United Airlines again. 45 minutes on the phone after being transferred four times they told this, "If there was no action on the account the money would be returned in 24 hours." Well it's been almost 48 hours and the money is still not returned and we don't have the money to get to California to go to my sister's funeral. I will never use Expedia again or United Airlines and we're thinking about getting a lawyer.

    I booked a travel online to Cancun and my name is hyphenated. The online didn't recognize the hyphenation and deleted it. When I called to ask them to correct it, they made it sounds as if that was my problem and want to charge me to make a change or contact the airline directly. I contact the airline and I am told to pay an additional $200 to correct a problem caused by Expedia. Keep in mind I am not changing the name, adding a different person or asking them to correct a problem that was clearly caused by their website.

    I've already wasted a huge amount of time on this but I wanted to share. I booked on Expedia for flight and hotel. When I clicked to confirm, the site message was that I had possibly entered something incorrectly, so please correct and try again. Thinking it may be syntax or a hyphen, I tried 4 times. Eventually I used my wife's credit card and it went through.

    I called Expedia to check why I had 4 charges against my card and was told it was pre authorization for the flight part and that it would drop off after 3 days. 17 days later and it has yet to be reversed. Expedia asked me to call my bank. They have no information. I called Expedia and was on the phone for over 1 hr - they eventually told me I had to speak to Korean Air. I called Korean Air and spoke to a manager - he said they had no record of any charges against my credit card number!?!

    Basically it seems like Expedia use any opportunity to use "pre authorized" funds to boost their cashflow and then try to avoid returning it. I'm guessing some people don't even notice the charge and miss it and they profit from it. Basically they are fraudsters - I will never use their site again. I would advise anyone reading this to avoid doing so too.

    So we book a flight and hotel to Orlando, Florida to enjoy our spring break and check out Disney World. We didn’t get a direct flight and our layover didn’t get us to Orlando until 12:30 am, the flights were smooth. When we were waiting for the layover we called our hotel to let them know we’d be showing up at 1:30 am because of the flight and they said it was fine and would still check us in, they were also able to confirm our reservation. So upon getting to the hotel we are checked in and our credit card information was taken down, we got our room keys and went up to the room. THERE WAS SOMEONE ALREADY SLEEPING IN OUR ROOM!!! We were double booked and the hotel didn’t have any other rooms. Now imagine a pregnant lady at 4 in the morning looking for a hotel from an entire day of waiting at airports and being on planes!!!

    So the hotel said there was nothing they could do except give us a refund and that we had to call Expedia. Expedia basically told us to screw off and that we had to go get a hotel out of pocket, and the refund takes days to process so we were limited on what we could do and on top of that all the hotels in the area were booked as well. Then Expedia tried to tell us that we canceled our vacation 2 days prior to departure... If that was the case then why do I have confirmation emails for both the planes and the hotel 24 hours and 30 minutes prior to even arriving?!? And how was I able to get onto both planes and check into my hotel if everything was canceled?!? I told them I wouldn’t be 3,000 miles from home in a state I don’t even know if I had canceled!!!

    I was literally on hold for an hour and a half before they could tell me, “Sorry there’s nothing we can do.” An hour and half wasted!!! They told me to call corporate in the morning to see what they can do! I’ve been trying to get a hold of them but the phone just keeps ringing! I have wasted two days of precious vacation time just trying to talk to Expedia!

    Do yourselves a favor and don’t book with them! They didn't even care that we're out at 4:30 am on the other side of the country, they didn’t care about our safety, or our vacation experience. Their first priority was figuring out where they went wrong and calling the hotel back and forth to see what happened... No, "Oh these people and this pregnant lady needs somewhere to sleep." For crying out loud. This vacation sucks!!! Now we’re all out of money and stuck paying all these fees and extra hotels and the refund won’t even process until we’re back home! Expedia doesn’t care about their customer's vacation, time, resources or safety. The customer service was terrible!!!

I did so for over two hours.

I said this was unacceptable, that I can still see the flight I want for the price I want online no matter how many times I refresh and asked to speak to a manager and they HUNG UP ON ME.

    I was booking a flight through Expedia app. During the process it refreshed and said the price had gone up. I clicked continue and then it told me it could not process my credit card. When I checked my credit card it had already charged me for the two tickets and charged me 8 different times for the booking fee. When I called my credit card company they said I had to speak with Expedia because the charges were still pending. I called Expedia and the Supervisor on duty said, "I am so sorry we see this frequently with the app when the AIRLINE ups its prices." Really the AIRLINE! He recommend I use a different site to book my flight so I don't have this happen in the future.

    It is my husband and I anniversary trip and there is only 7 seats left on the flight. Over 400$ is pending on my credit card and EXPEDIA COULD CARE LESS! We have a three year old and work really hard to earn a living; we don't spend money frivolously. As a matter of fact we did not have a honeymoon and this is our first trip away since he was born. I will never ever use Expedia again. This is the worst customer service I have ever seen! Oh they did give me a 200$ credit after I asked how they would compensate me but it is only good if I book a flight and a hotel. They have to make sure they still make money off of me even though they screwed up!

They said, the third party (Expedia) made the change. It seems to me, that if changes are made, I should be notified, and/or compensated.

I called the hotel and was told they didn’t even have me or my room on file so I could cancel through them it would have to be through Expedia.

    The next day I called Expedia again, and again the same runaround was given for a couple more days. Expedia finally told me they’ll refund my whole amount and should be receiving an email within 24/48 hours. I never received this and am still waiting. I called again today and now they have to do an investigation regarding the phone call. I’m so angry I could spit.

    Do NOT book a flight or trip through this reservation company!!! Though some airline fares may be $25 or so less than the actual airlines, if you need to change your trip, you are not able to cancel or change your reservation at Expedia without losing most of the cost of your fare. In my situation, my flight ticket was issued through American Airlines via Expedia at a cost of $495 to and from Boston to Phoenix. Looking at American Airlines web page today, their fare is $530. The $495 fare with Expedia was so restrictive (that I didn't realize until after booking and receiving all the travel restrictions by Expedia), that I could only have one carry on bag for under the seat (not above the overhead bin) and I also had to pay in excess of $25 for any bag checked.

    In addition, I had no idea that I could not get a refund of any kind on my trip from Boston to Phoenix. The return trip from Phoenix to Boston provides for a $300 credit on Expedia, however, there is a $200 reservation fee when I rebook so in essence on a $500 round-trip ticket, I got 20% back at $100... Looking at American Airlines' website, if I had just booked through them, I would have been refunded all monies and/or had the ability to change my flight at no cost or loss. I will never book through Expedia again. It is a rip-off. Maybe a good place to start researching fares but when it comes time to book, go directly to the airline.

    I purchased a hotel flight package to Cancun for myself and 2 children with Expedia. The morning of departure 3/21/18 the flight was canceled due to a snowstorm. Spirit Airlines refunded my money immediately. After three phone calls and 4 hours later, Expedia told me the hotel would not refund my $1300 and I only had 10 days to use the reservation credit. I explained that there were no flights going to Cancun in the next 48 hours. I had to go back to work and my children had to return to college on Monday. In desperation I asked them to move the reservation to the following day in hopes a flight would become available. I was then told that they could do that but I could no longer have my original 375 sq ft room and the only option left was a 1287 square foot room for $700 a night.

    My complaint is they did not offer me a comparable room or a reasonable amount of time to reschedule the trip. Also, when I first called from the airport they put me on hold for 15 minutes and hung up on me. The second time I called was an hour (which I was on hold most of the time) I was told Expedia could not reach the reservations employee at the hotel because they were at lunch and Expedia would return my call in 2 hour's time. I explained that I could not wait two hours because I was trying to find a flight out. The third time I called Expedia that day I asked to speak to a supervisor at which time I was put on hold for 15 minutes and then 30 minutes. Needless to say, I never spoke to a supervisor. The entire time the customer service agents spoke as if they were robots, not a slight bit of compassion for a situation that was very stressful and frustrating.

    Expedia is AWFUL! I booked a flight reservation through them in January. In February, the airline (American) drastically changed the return flight. I contacted American to request a return flight change. I was told I needed to contact Expedia to make the change but any change fees would be waived because the airlines changed the time significantly. I was on and off the call with American within 5 minutes.

    I called Expedia and dealt with the most incompetent individuals who would difficult to understand because of a language barrier. Expedia told me I could not make the change without paying the change fee. I told them that is NOT true as the American representative told me they would waive the fee since the schedule change was on their side. I was subsequently transferred to a supervisor because of the ineptness of the first representation to whom I spoke. As of now, I am writing this while STILL ON HOLD 50 one hour, ONE HOUR and still counting. This is not rocket science and I do not understand why it is so challenging for the Expedia representative to make this easy peasy change! I WILL NEVER USE EXPEDIA AGAIN!

    Going on my 1st true vacation, my friend and I have been planning since the summer. Mistake #1 online travel sites (Expedia), we used Expedia to book a package deal flight, hotel and pick-up. We sat down to book our departure for March 17th and return on March 21st. Because of a prior engagement the evening of March 21st. We received our itinerary and yes, it my fault for not reading all the way through it. I only read the departure date and time from Dallas, TX. and the hotel that we were in for our five days. Even upon arrival Maria the hotel representative stated that we will be lodging with them for five (5) day until Wednesday, March 21st. We said "Yes"!

    Mistake #2: Checked out of the hotel at 4:30 am because our flight left Las Vegas at 7:00 everything going smoothly; until we go to the airport. We had our e-tickets to scan for our boarding passes. The kiosk read "Can not print. Too early to board." An American Airline attendant told us that our flight didn't leave until March 22nd at 7:00. We both sat down in front of the computer and talked about when we were coming back. Without a doubt she stated that she needed to be back by Wednesday because she had a prior engagement that she had to attend. No problem, I submit our date when leaving and returning and before I submitted we looked at the dates again and it stated Departing DFW airport on March 17th and Returning to DFW on March 21 at 7:00 am.

    Long story short Expedia called their representative and no surprise barely spoke English. Kept on say the same things over and over like he was reading a script. American Airline staff was horrible during the whole ordeal. I ended up paying $1385. to get home. Had to rent a car because we missed our bus that was bringing us back home. My vacation was GREAT, getting home was very stressful and I called Expedia talked to the supervisor and she said that my case was going through other departments to investigate. It would take 48 hours for them to contact me either by phone or email. It took 4 hours. I received an email stating no refund will be given. The return departure date read March 22nd.

Then Expedia reissued the ticket and even a week after that I cant find my itinerary on Jet Blue which is showing me internal error on entering the details.

    First I spent three days searching out a decent hotel that had a nice indoor pool because I was bringing two children and staying for three days (for my grandfather's funeral) so we needed entertainment for the kids during off times. I booked through Expedia at Days Inn in Harrisonburg. When we arrived, the hotel was falling apart... the elevators were downright scary... the hallways were something from a horror film, the man running the place was hardly able to speak English and certainly not the friendliest, and to top it off... THE POOL WAS CLOSED FOR PAINTING for the length of our stay. Of course this was never mentioned when I booked it.

    I called Expedia and spent about an hour and a half getting them to move me to a different hotel... I told the lady that the main problem was the pool situation. I needed entertainment for the kids for three days... it was the whole point in paying extra for the room. So they finally found me another room one exit down that had similar accommodations and said "they definitely have an indoor pool". So, we head to the Comfort Inn (which was a much nicer hotel) that had an OUTDOOR pool and it was 30 - 40 degrees in Virginia for our entire stay. No indoor pool. Expedia still charged me the rates for the first hotel which was about $50 more than the second hotel and never offered to refund me the difference.

    I called and asked for the difference and they told me that since I was the one that decided to change the hotel then I had to go with the rate that I originally agreed to. I told them this hotel still did not have an indoor pool and they said they had no other rooms available at any other hotel nearby that had an indoor pool so they were sorry but they couldn't do anything about it. I was left to entertain two children for every minute of this trip thanks to Expedia and I got ripped off on top of it because I paid higher rates for a hotel with an indoor pool. I will never use Expedia again and will never recommend Expedia to anyone I know. I will make sure to spread the word on Facebook as well so that people don't get taken the way I did.

I asked the rep at that time about the refund of the $800. She told me it would be processed and should be paid in approximately 10 days. 3 weeks went by and no refund.

    I called Expedia back to check on the status of the refund and the representative said there was nothing in the system but she would process it and it would take 10 days to receive my refund. I told her that was told to me before and she assured me it would be processed. 3 more weeks have gone by and still no refund. I have called Expedia back now for the 3rd time.

To my surprise this turned out to be the most excruciating customer experience. I had to call 3 times with a total time of ~2hours and with no result. The customer service would put me on hold and/or tell me that they will call me back but never did. I had to take a long taxi ride back to the airport on my own accord and rent another car. This cost me hundreds of dollars in phone bills and taxi ride. The false information from Expedia put me in a potentially dangerous situation as I was directed to a sketchy part of Istanbul with my entire luggage and with very little options.

    Additionally, this affected my rest of the itinerary as my schedule got delayed by multiple hours. I had also booked a hotel for the night in a different city from Expedia (my plan was to drive to that city using the rental), so I called again to accommodate for the car rental mishaps into changes in my future itinerary, and again Expedia blatantly refused to help.

    This was the worst experience of any service I have ever had. Apart from Expedia putting me in an unsafe situation, the customer service was of no use and it cost me a lot of money, time and my vacation to get things right. Additionally, even after Expedia confirmed on phone that the rental location actually did not exist, there were no replies to my numerous attempts reaching out to them when I was back in US. I cannot help but wonder if this is outright negligence and bordering fraud. The reason for this review is to hold Expedia accountable on their negligence, failure to correct/formally acknowledge their systemic problems, providing false information that put their customer in a dangerous situation, and potentially fraud.

Since I will not be there why signing a statement?

    Ok. I made a mistake. But the mistake I made is totally due to shady practices by Expedia. What happened: I ended up booking a hotel for *four* times as much money as I expected to pay. How? I first went to Expedia to look for hotels in Phoenix, where I was going for my birthday. I was supposed to go with someone who canceled at the last minute, so I was in a rush to book. I looked up hotels by review rating, and zoomed in on an area of downtown. This is a new city. I had to look up where I would be staying, and get a sense for the neighborhood. So I go to Google maps. I check out the neighborhood in Google Maps, and it looks great. It's right on the light rail, and since I don't plan on renting a car, I think I scored. I go back to Expedia.

    I enter my dates, and hover over a few hotels that are listed. One has great reviews, and lists for $496. I think it is a bargain, but look up the hotel in Google again, to do my due diligence. I travel about once a month for work, so I try to be careful. And now, since I am traveling *on my own buck*, I am even more careful. Upon entering the hotel into Google, I see an advertisement in an Expedia plug-in: $169/night. I'm like: score! This is great. It looks like another hotel I stayed at in DC, which I really liked, and which was in the same price ballpark. So I decide to book the hotel. I return to Expedia, and get all kinds of ads and pop-ups telling me to hurry for the price, that x other number of people are also looking at the hotel, etc. etc. I feel rushed, and so I rush to pay for what I think is $496 for my hotel stay.

    I check in as planned, and the room is okay, but nothing splendid. There is no kettle, no coffee, no tea. The shower splashes all over the floor, since there is no door and only a terrible shower head. The bed is as usual, the sheets are as usual, there is no included breakfast and the coffee is just meh. **THEN!** At the airport I check my credit card to make a payment and see that I am above my limit. I wonder what happened, and do not recognize the charge that put me over: $2,300. YOU HAVE READ THIS RIGHT: A TOTAL OF $2,300. I go to my email to figure out if there is a business expense I forgot. I input the amount and...find the Expedia confirmation email. Three screens scrolled later, I see that the $496 was *not* the total price, but rather the "average price per night." You can call me stupid, but I travel a lot, and there is no ** way I would ever pay this much money for a hotel, and even less for that.

    What I noticed in trying to see the price, then, is: A) There is manipulation and deception in the Expedia advertised price; B) Unlike other sites where what you see first is the *total* price, Expedia manipulates you into showing only the average price per night. This is not the way packages elsewhere are advertised. And when you compare this practice with the price advertised on Google...it is incredibly dishonest. I called Expedia several times, to no avail. I was on the phone with them for about 6 hours. I called my credit card, to no avail. I called Expedia again. I called the hotel. I called Expedia. This all went nowhere because I had "approved" the charge. 24 hours of panic later, I was no further than when I started. Yes, I made a mistake. But about a zillion other people will. You. Your mom. Your friends.

    Things I learned and will share with everyone. 1) Stay away from websites such as Expedia. Instead, use them to investigate options, and then *CALL THE HOTEL DIRECTLY. * Tell them the rate you saw, and try to negotiate 5 or 10% discount by booking with them directly. 2) MAKE SURE TO CHECK whether the rate advertised matches the total. 3) DOCUMENT EVERYTHING. 4) ASK FOR PAPERWORK about prices and conditions when you check in, and REVIEW IT CAREFULLY. Don't be the next person who pays four times what she had budgeted for her trip because of scammy manipulations. Good luck! Safe travels!

    I booked a trip from the US to Brazil with Expedia and got a message suggesting a protection plan, since unexpected things happen and they would cover me. It was a simple opt-in box. There was probably a link to terms and conditions, but not noticeable and not clear enough to the point I couldn't see it. Well, I had to change my flight because of visa issues and that's when I found out about the conditions: only in case of death/health or legal problems. The "protection" plan itself is very limited, yet communicated with such a misleading message that it gets close to a scam practice. Legally, they are right, because the T&Cs mention it, although it is not made clear to customers. Expedia is legally correct, but under very sneaky, cheap, reckless practices. Not reliable at all. Plus, there are better websites to get deals, including Kayak.com.

    (This was the only Hotel close to the Venue with 1 room left at this price). I visually see the hotel deal I want at $141 per night. It reads "1 left", so I click Reserve. A new screen comes up with my bill with Red Letters saying "4 other people are looking at this room right now". Being the last room I didn't want to lose it because there is a time limit to purchase. I saw a $100 fee for "Grounds Fee" so I called the hotel and they said I it didn't apply so disregard (?). I agreed on the high total (not having broken it down). I also had used my Expedia points and purchased insurance. Now the Timer is ticking down so I quickly enter my Visa number and click submit.

    I get the room and the receipt but when I break everything down I see I didn't get the room for $141, I paid the $161! I wrote Expedia and they just wrote that Hotels can change prices at any time. But Expedia read $141! They don't back their pricing! What is the point of going through Expedia if when you click the button you can get any ol' price and not the one they stated? For $40, Expedia has lost my business permanently.

    We had a flight to the Bahamas planned for March 7 which due to a Nor'easter was canceled on March 6 by JetBlue. I called Expedia to try to move my flight to another day or airline. With no luck. I wasted over 2 hours total with 2 different reps. They offered me a credit for the flights but to keep the return flight it was going to cost me 250 additional because to get the credit. The return flight would have to be rebooked. I left the plans as is. I got a flight that day to Virginia to North Carolina and the next day to the Bahamas. Thanks to American Airlines.

    On my return I wasted another 1 hour and a half trying to get a refund from Expedia to be told they could not tell how much my credit would be and it would take 12 to 15 days to process. The kicker is I have to follow up with them in 15 days to find out the amount and have them process the credit. Meanwhile friends who booked the same flight got a full refund from JetBlue within 24 hours and flew home on the same flight with no additional cost. I am still going through the refund process and I think Expedia is playing a game. I will never use this company again. Buyer beware.

    I originally ordered 2 tickets online. This was fine. The issues began when I called Expedia asking a very specific question, "Is there another seat available on the plane I could purchase?" The support staff on the other end clearly did not understand me and I had to repeat myself about half a dozen times; finally, I was told that, yes, there is another ticket on the plane. Great, so I purchased the ticket over the phone. Fast forward 2 weeks and I had to call them once more to alter my booking. I found out that the extra ticket was purchased for an entirely different flight! The person on the phone said he would look into it, put me on hold, and our call dropped. I received no callback.

    I called again, this time asking to speak to the person I had spoken to previously. That was not possible apparently, as the call center exists to provide a method in which the consumer becomes hopelessly trapped in a cycle of holds and inept and incapable staff. I finally got on hold with a supervisor, but guess what? I was dropped again, and no callback. I called back a third time, this time directly asking to speak to a manager. One more hold, and I am on the phone with somebody. I told him that I would not have bought the ticket originally if I knew that the flight would be different. Expedia informs me that there are no refunds as is the airline policy. I told them I refused to pay for this ticket as this was their fault.

    I will cut the story short, but essentially I was on the phone for a total of 2.5 hours before I was able to move the ticket to the same flight. Why was this so apparently easy, while trying to rebook flights so expensive ($600 for two people!), I do not know. Expedia is a middleman between yourself and the proprietor of the actual service. Please cut them out of your travel plans, even if they are convenient. Their system is set up to make it difficult to make changes without making charges to the consumer. They clearly make money, which is their convenience fee. 1/5 stars, would not recommend, will never use again.

I agreed to another flight and Expedia reissued the e-ticket and said the flights were confirmed. I arrived at the airport to start my trip 3 hours early and WestJet could not check me in. Apparently Expedia changed the itinerary but did not change the e-ticket. That meant we could not get boarding passes - even for the first leg of our flight!

    WestJet called Expedia for us and explained the problem and we were put on hold twice - the first time for 20 minutes wherein Expedia came back on the line to say there was no problem and another after WestJet explained exactly what the problem was and exactly what Expedia needed to do to fix it. We were put on hold for over an hour!!! With 4 minutes to go before we missed the flight, Expedia “fixed” their problem and the boarding passes were issued. My urgent email to Expedia in the meantime was answered 36 hours later. No apology, no explanation. WestJet said this happens all the time. Our trip was almost ruined and Expedia has yet to explain itself or apologize. My advice DO NOT USE EXPEDIA and if you must, try to check in a few hours earlier than you usually would because there could be a problem Expedia has caused.

I am not joking. We purchased insurance, but it looks like when if the outbound is cancelled by the airline, Expedia will not change the inbound without a fee or return full credit - so the insurance is also useless.

I contacted Expedia by phone with the itinerary number I had and they informed me that I had booked a room at the Casino Queen in East St Louis, Illinois. I ended up having to stay in the Casino Queen because all other hotels in the area were fully booked. After many conversations with customer service agents that I could hardly understand, I finally gave up trying to get my money back, very disappointed and angry with Expedia's lack of customer service.

    I booked a hotel for one night and immediately after booking my plans changed and I instantly called. The operator in the Philippines said they will talk to the hotel and will write me about the outcome. I have heard nothing in the affirmative or the negative. Customer service takes so much time and is terrible. They don't care about their customers. Nobody has any authority to do anything. I tried to cancel within the hour at 3:30 PM EST, check-in time is at 6:00 PM EST. I am out $150. I will NEVER book Expedia again. We have to vote on this company without dollars. After being a loyal customer from whenever they started, Goodbye Expedia!

    Used Expedia to book hotel rooms on the way to and from a visit to family. First reservation made for one night I got charged by Expedia and also charged by the hotel. Expedia says they spoke with the hotel and the hotel had a glitch and will refund my money. On the return trip my requested date got screwed up and was for a week out. Expedia called the hotel and, in front of me, the hotel staff said they would not charge for the change. Official rules did say not refundable. Expedia staff said something about a $15 charge from Expedia for the change.

    Frankly, I blame the Expedia website for the error in the date booked. I was clearly booking for that day and not a week in advance, there was no 'confirmation' reminder in the process. I managed to use Open Table to book a restaurant for the correct day but they have a reliable interface! So I've not stayed two nights but been booked for four nights. Spent a couple hours on the phone trying to get this fixed. Fraud is how I would describe the service provided by Expedia.

    We 1st had an issue with an incorrect name on the ticket, Expedia tried blaming it on the airline and tried telling us we have to go through them, then said there's nothing we can do, we had to pay 450.00 to correct. The airline was adamant that we had to go through Expedia. Finally 3 wks later the mess was figured out and corrected. We then called to confirm our shuttle with the resort, were told we had to go through Expedia. Expedia called to book, said it was booked, gave a confirmation number.

    When we arrived, the confirmation number didn't exist and no shuttle was arranged. On our return flight, they only allowed for 1 hr 30 min between connecting flights. The plane was late on deplaning, we had to go through customs, the airport shuttle was closed, we had to take a bus to our terminal that was closed, had to go back through security, ran to our next flight, was 5 min late and told we missed our flight and had to wait until the next morning. Expedia should take into account all that is involved with connecting flights.

    Booked a hotel/flight for 2 to travel overseas. Two days after my booking I received an email from Expedia stating that they can't confirm my flight and to contact them. After getting on the phone with an agent I am told that the airline is fully booked and won't accept my flight reservation. However, I can pay additional $400 to get on a different flight (as if) or they can give me a refund I can rebook myself (the price went up significantly in the last two days so no) or I can get on a flight where it will take me 24 hours to reach my destination and I would have to sleep at the airport an entire night to return to Los Angeles (the destination is 8 hours away from me).

    I call the airline and they tell me that there are 17 seats left on the flight that I booked and they are not sure why Expedia won't let me get on it. Call Expedia back again and after 1 hour on hold they offer to once again change my flight for a fee of $1800 per person. After a total of 6 hours on the phone with Expedia on my only free day I am told that someone will contact me back within 24 hours. Still waiting and my trip is less than 2 week from now.

    I recently tried to change a wrong name on a flight ticket. The first telephone operator told me I couldn’t and I should cancel the flight. On hearing this I contacted the airline who said I could do it but would need to go through Expedia. I telephoned Expedia and the second operator told me she would make the request and get back to me... I heard nothing. Called again and was told it would be escalated. Heard nothing... over 12 hours had passed. Called Expedia who advised me that it couldn’t be done and I would have to cancel. Explained again that airline had said I could. Was told it would be escalated. Received email at one midnight the night before I was due to fly requesting copy of passport. Passport sent and acknowledged. No further contact received.

    Called Expedia in the morning having to explain everything again and was told I should cancel flight but I would have to pay a cancellation fee almost equivalent of what I paid. I had to rebook and have had several emails informing me that they did not receive my passport, then that they had received it but as they had refunded me £122 of my £650 flight the complaint had been resolved! I’m now taking the matter to the Ombudsman.

    Booked a trip including airfare, hotel and insurance but had to cancel due to hospital admission.

Followed Expedia insurance link (on electronic confirmation of purchase) and was directed to insurance company which stated process and copious documents required - these were done and submitted.

    A few weeks later they sent email declining payment as they said not covered. Then contacted Expedia customer service (an amazingly difficult process that took days) and explained what happened, submitted documentation and waited for resolution - they also declined stating that my insurance was “vacation package” and doesn't cover medical reimbursement. I explained to them that I chose the insurance package that they had offered and simply followed the link that they provided to claim. Long and short they refused to honour their own process (stating that “more than 60 days had passed since my purchase and they couldn't verify what happened at time of booking” and clearly demonstrated a lack of integrity and disregard for their customer - the result is that they, or any of their subsidiaries, will no longer get any business from any ALL of my company’s business (4 of them) as I can no longer trust them.

    I made a reservation through Expedia.com, the very next day I canceled the reservation...more than 9 days in advance of the date I would have went to the hotel. Expedia then prompted me to a page with a confirmation of my cancellation so I went on with my life. The day after I would have traveled to New Orleans I got a survey from Expedia asking me to rate my stay. I then pulled up my account and noticed my reservation had never been cancelled. Long story short, after more than 3 hours on the phone with them over 2 different occasions, I was still charged the full amount for the reservation and they claim it was my fault.

    That was my first time doing business with them and I will never do business with them again. Awful, unfair experience. Oh. Let me add, Expedia tried blaming the hotel. I told Expedia numerous times it isn't the hotel's fault, it is Expedia' s fault. It was probably a computer glitch on their end and I was charged for it.

    I hate I have to give them 1 Star! After this years heart attack, defibrillator put in and approval from Doctor to fly with good heart care, my daughter and I decided to plan a mom & daughters vacation. We decided to take a short, inexpensive vacation. We got online as lots of time before we’re able to find good vacations at good rates. But this time with Expedia, only to regret this decision! But when we tried online to purchase the price went up during booking. So I called the agent asked regarding this issue. She assured me I would get the first cost and offered booking it for me, I told her we would just finish ourselves. She said to hurry it’s almost sold out and I needed to book with her.

    We weren’t ready to do just yet wanting to know more and still on phone deciding amongst ourselves. So we continued to do booking ourselves and realized there was no shuttle fee on the excursions page, as there are with other travel company bookings we’ve used. Not knowing much about this resort and location I called back. Another person told me it’s all covered in the trip getting there. I repeated and said we are flying in international and asked how far is the resort and if we needed to pay an extra fee to get there or how we do this? She said not to worry just contact resort and they will set up shuttle service. It’s all included.

    Next day I got up to a fraud alert from my bank of fraudulent charges, I called and verified them of charges, only now regretting that decision! So it reminded me to call resort and get shuttle pickup arranged, because we booked late the night before and was tired and decided to look up resort info tomorrow to do this. When I called the resort, they said, "No we are located on separate island. You have to take international flight to main island, then another flight to our island and then we will shuttle you here from our airport. You need to make those arrangements yourself."

    Thankful it’s not been close to 24 hours yet, thinking we can cancel this vacation and pick another one we were going to book, where no extra cost involved and to another resort located close to airport. Since such a short trip we didnt want to spend it mostly traveling. I called Expedia, (this ended up being 4 HOURs) after on hold for 20 plus minutes each time, explaining I verified all that and arranged with agent last night. So when they said no it wasn’t included and verified what resort said, after Expedia lying the night before to get me to buy it. I told them I wanted to cancel. They said I could not and I would need to get that info and arrange extra flight myself. So I told them I want to cancel the trip because it was not been but 10 hours and not 24 hours yet, they said they could not cancel because the resort won’t allow it. I asked to speak to someone else. Another 20 plus minutes waiting.

    The next girl told me she could get me contact info to local airport and go ahead and book it and I could pay and they’d reimburse me. I said I prefer to cancel altogether. I didn’t want added cost or travel time and that is why I asked ahead of time. I then asked to speak to her manager another 30 minute plus wait only to get the rudest person. He explained she could not reimburse me. He told me I should of been smart enough to know that I would need to take another flight to get there. I explained, I asked these questions, not knowing if island was attached, and was told it was in one price and resort covers it and resort just needed time of arrival.

    He said anyone would know this, I told him he was rude and wanted to speak with his manager. He told me it was on the page under where the room choice was? I asked, "Why there? Why would it not be explained on flight page?" After 3 plus hours total trying to cancel or find out how this extra cost is going to get paid for I got to wait another 30-40 minutes to only get someone who I explained the flight times were only 2 flights a day and we would be travelling for 2 of our 4 days. He agreed to help me get another flight to island the next day, still same situation. This would only cost us more but the only airline only offers 2 flight times a day that don’t match Expedia times that are in package sold for no extra cost.

    Also I even asked if I could just change resort and get a resort closer to main airport to avoiding losing so much vacation time and just change resorts. They refused that also. He offered again to change flight day for an added day but we would have to pay extra night for stay and still would make no difference for all day at airport time? Why bother to only add more money at my expense.

    We decided to make the best of it and thought we will call and check in first thing with Delta and get better seating (at our expense), they explained we could not upgrade, even on an empty flight due to Expedia don’t allow it. Delta, we have flyer miles can’t even add this trip to our miles. Delta was nice and very apologetic. Expedia's agents should be better educated and honest instead of just trying to scam, cheat and lie when people’s moments of excitement for vacationing with family and friends of what could be good time for people and use it to their advantage. Lesson learned! People beware. Don’t use this app or call or believe anything they tell you! Shady! I deleted my app and will Never travel with them or Hotels.com owned by Expedia!!!

    Expedia notoriously publish low rates at Hotels where there is ongoing construction, renovation or a remediation issue at the site; or, there may be an ongoing construction adjacent to the immediate area where it may be problematic to access or entry to the hotel. THEY NEVER INFORM THE CUSTOMER OR MEMBER. Thus, reason for rates being suspiciously low, in some cases. The other problem with Expedia is, during peak season, they always email you with "teaser rates." When you respond to their advertised low rates, they literally switch to a much higher rate than what their link advertises. So buyer beware with Expedia's "Bait-and-Switch" tactics, particularly during hotel "PEAK SEASON ONLY." Expedia is only useful during "off-peak" season. It's better to book directly with the hotel during peak season. But, remember to always do a little homework to find out why an advertised rate might be unusually low.

When I called this year I told the agent that I had heard of the family suite at the Royalton and asked her if it had a King bed and 2 Twin beds and she said it did. It should go without being said that everyone should have a bed to sleep on. However, after I booked the room I found out that the family suites only have 1 bed and a sofa bed.

    We are paying over $1800 per person and my 3 children (2 being teenagers over 5'10") have to all sleep on a sofa bed. This is absolutely ridiculous. Expedia is refusing to do anything about this and is blaming us. I would have never booked this room if I knew that there weren't enough beds for us all.

    On January 27 we flew to Costa Rica for a family vacation (11 including 5 children). We had rented a van through Expedia at Payless. I had called Payless a few days in advance to confirm that our flight did not arrive until 9:30 pm. They adjusted our reservation and confirmed there would be no problem. When we arrived in San Jose we proceeded to the rental car desk. There was no one there. The other rental car agencies were all open and dealing with customers who had arrived on our flight from Toronto.

    One of the other agents said he would call the Payless agent for us. The agent showed up about 30 mins later, annoyed and complaining of how we had disturbed him and that he had been working since 2 pm. There were other customers with us. He proceeded to transfer us to an offside office of Payless. We waited while he processed other customers which took at least an hour. We had two little granddaughters with us (ages 4 & 6) - it was now past midnight.

    Finally it was our turn. He proceeded to tell us he didn't think he had a vehicle for us even though we handed him the confirmation we had from Expedia which stated the van rental was $381 CDN. As we went through the process he advised us that we would HAVE to take out their insurance (even though we were totally covered under our personal auto insurance policy) and it would cost over $1100 CDN. We challenged him on this issue and finally we refused to take the car and called a taxi to take us to our hotel (1:30 am). We had been travelling for over 12 hours. The next day the hotel assisted us and we rented a car from the hotel next door (AVIS) at the Hotel Intercontinental in San Jose. It went very smoothly and we were on the road to our destination within a few minutes (cost $507 USD). I have reported this incident to Expedia.

    I called Expedia Canada which I understand is in Egypt (hardly makes sense when dealing with Canadian customers) and spoke with a number of agents and supervisors (some of who kept me on hold for over 50 minutes - this happening several times) with no satisfaction. We subsequently rented a car on February 5 with Payless in Fort Lauderdale airport without incident. I have used Expedia for years to book flights, hotels, cars, vacations, etc. BUT I will NEVER use Expedia again and will recommend that my friends, family and business associates do the same. It was a very difficult situation for my family and when at the Payless office in San Jose - a dangerous location.

    I am a volunteer U-14 girl's volleyball coach. I booked 12 tickets to this year's Nationals with Expedia (on WestJet). Then I was unable to secure a spot at the Nationals. I called to try to cancel my itinerary. WestJet informed me that they would cancel/refund my tickets but that since I went through Expedia, it was up to them. Expedia refused to refund and claimed that it was WestJet policy. It went back and forth like this for 2 weeks until I gave up. Pls note that everyone else on our team (and parents) that booked directly with WestJet was fully refunded.

    I then was able to find a new team that would take over the tickets. There is a $100 name change fee plus tax per ticket. On Feb 13th I was able to get Expedia to change the tickets, after being put on hold repeatedly for a total of 2.5 hours. I was sent a confirmation for the name changes by Expedia and I have been charged an additional $1050 (there are 10 tickets on 3 different itineraries). The charge has already gone through my credit card. Already. Today 8 days later, I double checked the online itinerary and found that the names have not been changed.

    I called Expedia and they also have the same old info. I was repeatedly put on hold while they confirmed the name change went through, but the call repeatedly was dropped. On my 3rd attempt and 1 hour later I refused to be put on hold and asked to speak to a supervisor. Finally names have been confirmed and things straightened out. So I am not sure if the agents are extremely incompetent or if they were having fun putting me on hold and cutting me off. Either way, I will never use Expedia again.

    I reserved 2 nights at Days Inn, 6 landings Dr, Harmarville, PA through Expedia.com. I paid $140.00 for 2 nights. My daughter and I checked in 2/13 at 7:30 pm. At 9:10 pm we were in bed, a bug crawled on her face and she started screaming. We got dressed, gathers our belongings and checked out at 9:20 pm same night. Hotel refused my refund. Expedia would only give me $88.20 in refund, told me I’d have to get the rest of the refund from the hotel, which has also told me it has to come from Expedia again. Expedia refused repeatedly to let me post my review on their website. I guess it’s because of the picture of the bug? Of course there is No one to speak to at Expedia as to what is wrong with the review. I posted relevant truthful information.

    I did not reveal my family’s name, only names used in the review were Expedia and Days Inn, I keep getting disconnected by their computer phone 'cause my options are not available and there is no way to connect to a customer service representative for the review. This the second time I had a problem with Expedia, previously on a refund for a reservation that was canceled months in advance. I will not stop until I get my money back. I want the world to know what I experienced. I do have a picture of the bug that was on my daughter's pillow. I have contacted the local health department, ironically I work there but in a different division. Just want people to know what I’ve been through so they don’t experience the same. Btw it was room 147.

    While this post about my experience will likely not help me - it may assist other travellers. Please note: EXPEDIA is not the only company behaving less than honest - I also booked with AGODA, BOOKING.com, OneTravel - reservations made with these companies are described below. As you can see I booked several segments of my holiday through Expedia, and only chose another option when you couldn't provide what I needed. This makes what happened even more disappointing. I did not know just how much I overpaid for the room at the Privilege Hotel, until after I checked in and saw mostly young people and even a backpacker staying here. Then I checked and learned that I overpaid by 20% - this is just WRONG.

    I am so disappointed that a company I trusted could be providing such misleading information - when I booked I was supposedly saving 50% - this was completely untrue. In addition, I require a receipt that breaks out the VAT so that I can claim it on departure. Three of the hotels I booked through you - would not provide same - though 1 did. This again is a significant cost to me. Expedia did respond after several days.

    I originally contacted Expedia because I saw their hotel price guarantee. After seeing the young crowd staying at the hotel thought it was worth investigating. No disrespect to young people travelling or backpackers but I am certain, they did not pay $465 (520 Cdn - taxes and fees in) to stay there. In fairness there were many room options for them to stay and share the same amenities. On the day of check out (since I still had no reply from Expedia) I checked the hotel price for the room we stayed in - it was 10,000 Baht converted to approximately $400 Cdn per night (plus 1% fees and 7% taxes VAT). However when we booked it was advertised at significantly more thru Expedia "private sale save 56% - prices shown after $1776.21 Cdn Savings".

    How is that possible?? I recall Sears and Canadian Tire doing something similar and being investigated and charged by the competition bureau. Taxes and fees charged totalled 260.97. ($86.99 per night which is 13% GST = $60.48 plus Expedia's fees of 10% = $26.51). The VAT and fees I should have been charged converts to $32.11 per night. All of this amounts to significant overcharging - and most certainly non-disclosure - on the verge of fraud perhaps. The service charge is taxable in Canada and 13% applies - but the stay is in Thailand that is where the service takes place (as was recognized by other discount travel companies mentioned below) - charging 13% on that service does not seem to be operating within the tax laws - I need to investigate that further. The hotel would not provide a receipt (because that would contradict Expedia's charge??). Receipt for stay attached.

    Second of 4 hotel bookings through Expedia was in Chiang Mai (also not mentioned specifically in my complaint to Expedia - but referred to by reference number). Again I could not get a receipt from the hotel. It too would have been less if booked directly through the hotel. The first hotel we booked and stayed in, in Bangkok (also not mentioned specifically in my complaint to Expedia - but referred to by reference number), unbeknownst to us we booked a membership package when all we wanted was a room with breakfast included.

    This hotel was not paid in advance - we paid at the hotel - I think, that is because we chose the cancellation option, which on the date of booking was the same price as the 'no cancellation' option (note: not all bookings offered this option). This was a reported 14% savings. I called the hotel directly but there were no rooms they could offer without the Club membership option. This reservation was booked and paid for at the hotel and a receipt with a break down of the VAT was given at check out.

    The last of 4 hotels booked thru Expedia (referred to by reference number) is the Riva Surya. I have not done the math on this one but I suspect it is the same as others. There is no availability to check price guarantee. I was charged in Canadian dollars $235.48 a night - fees and taxes 83.34 - that is not Thai fees and taxes. Supposedly saved 10%.

    I booked one other hotel through AGODA. Very similar situation. I contacted them to see if they have a price guarantee - they do not. Again the hotel would not provide a receipt. AGODA receipt - paid $1942.84 included in price service charge of 10% and tax 7% - no further breakdown but it is full disclosure. I checked day of check out, this room would rent for 12000 baht (=$481.00 Cdn). What I learned was, if I booked through this hotel directly, by phone or email, I would have got the same price as AGODA but I would have enjoyed the hotels perks such as massages, drinks, meal discounts. I also think the hotel is easier to deal with if you need to cancel or there is a problem.

    I have heard it said that the hotels set aside the "problem" rooms for these bookings. I would agree with this statement - while the rooms we stayed in were all lovely, because we paid top dollar, they are just not the best rooms - maybe hidden in a corner, or by the stairs or cleaning room. So when you try to contact the hotel directly that room (that you don't know may be the problem room) is not available - but there are likely others, you just have to ask.

    I booked two flights with OneTravel. I had two quotes for one leg. And purchased an insurance package - which was included in the total. Yet checking my visa I had 4 separate charges with no. Reference. I contacted OneTravel before leaving CANADA. This has yet to be adequately explained and will require my follow up. This was our most expensive flight in a country where domestic flights are promoted as being "cheap". We flew with Bangkok Air from a Chiang Mai to Koh Samui 1 hr 45 minutes for $705.50 USD and I paid provincial taxes (what?!). Great service, crappy old plane was the worst yet. A big part of the problem with all these travel companies is that the limited disclosure received by the traveller is not provided until after the booking is made - and most bookings don't permit cancellations. This lack of transparency lulls people into complacency - "what you don't know won't hurt you" - but ultimately it does.

    I think travellers, like myself, are looking for the best way to make our travel dollar go further so we are lured by the hype of (what we think are) great prices through these discount travel companies. Everyone works hard for their money and the opportunity to travel - no one wants to feel taken advantage of. I feel this vacation cost me much more than it should have had these companies been honest. I have learned a very expensive lesson. I will book all flights, hotels and car rentals directly through the company - no more will I put money in the middleman's pocket - not because I don't want to pay for the middleman's service, I certainly would and have - but in return I expect full disclosure, I do not expect to receive misleading and false information. These companies are not acting in the best interest of their client, the traveller who pays for the service.

    In the interest of fairness - I invite a response/discussion. And will gladly update the post - particularly if I am wrong. Please note: this review/comment has nothing to do with the country or the people - both are beautiful and made our stay fantastic. I do recognize that the hotels share a role in this problem as they provide access to their inventory to these discount travel providers - and in the end, it is all about the money - for both sides.

    I used to trust Expedia as a reliable honest broker. Never more. I made a reservation for $1340 from my tablet. The next day I printed my itinerary and I noticed that I was billed $1705 for this reservation. Checking the price for this flight on the web again I still saw again $1340. I called the customer care asking how this had happened. They could not explain, just stated that sometimes the prices change. Fortunately, this was within 24 hours cancellation period so I canceled it. In email they stated that it may takes 2 billing cycles to post the refund on my bank statement.

    Altogether I spent two hours with them to cancel my first reservation, get the refund, and make the reservation as advertised on their page. I ended up paying $50 more and lost my good seat assignments. They had several levels of management involved in cancellation of my overpriced reservation. I want everyone to know about their deceptions and crooked way of wasting your time and stealing your money.

The rooms have no ADA accommodation i.e. lavatories are kitchen heights making it difficult to reach, nor do that have grab bars in the showers.

And the room amenities are tagged with sensors so that if you just pick up say a bag of chips they tag you for it at $10-14 a pop. We had no car & yet they were charging us storage fees...

    I booked a Hertz car rental via Expedia in the fall of 2017 for February 1st, 2018. The day before my trip, Hertz called me directly stating they were out of cars, and there wouldn't be one for me. I called Expedia to see if they could assist. After 3 hours of being on the phone, I finally spoke with a supervisor named Raya. Raya eventually called Hertz, but spoke with their main line (not the actual location) the Hertz agent kept "guaranteeing" there would be a car for me. Raya stated that if I got to Tucson and there wasn't a car for me, that they would book through Budget rental car for me. I would need to put it on my own card, but once I got the receipt I could email it to Expedia and they would reimburse me the difference.

    On February 1st, I called the Hertz location directly, they confirmed they didn't have a car for me. I called Expedia again and spoke with Mary. I explained what had happened. She read through Raya's notes and stated she agreed it would be reimbursed so she went ahead and booked me the Budget rental car. When I returned on February 6th, I emailed a picture of my receipt for the Budget car as requested by Expedia. I have been denied the reimbursement 2 times now. Both stating that it was not Expedia's responsibility. While I see that it's not their fault that Hertz didn't have a car for me, they did agree to reimburse me the difference by 2 different agents. I would not have booked the Budget rental car had they not stated that as it was over $200 difference, and I would have opted to take public transportation or Uber while on my trip instead.

    Hidden fees charged by vendors that Expedia knows about but they don't warn their customers about. Hertz Rental Car will add a $4.95 daily "administrative fee" at the JFK location, and possibly other locations, because their cars come equipped with a toll pass device. The daily fee begins after the first time the car is driven through a toll where it registers and thereafter is not based on actual toll charges. In addition I was also charged an additional fee of $18.25 of toll fees where I guess it didn't register.

    Expedia knows about these charges and does nothing to warn their customers about them. My itinerary listed other possible charges for equipment such as booster seats etc. that I might choose to purchase, but nothing about the mandatory daily charges that begin to accrue. The itinerary they sent to me even said: "Unless otherwise specified, rates are quoted in USD. The total price includes all mandatory taxes and fees".

    When I called to complain about the added fee they tried to pass it off to Hertz even though I booked through Expedia. I do not mind paying my fair share of tolls and did end up paying that additional $18.25 of tolls, but I don't like getting hit with the unexpected Mandatory Equipment charge after getting off a ten hour flight with two kids to look after. I would much rather pay tolls manually. BAIT AND SWITCH plain and simple.

    I recently purchased plane tickets and a car rental through Expedia totaling $600 and some change. All was good and well until I checked my bank account and saw there was an extra $640 missing from my bank. Apparently Expedia charged me double to verify my card, claiming I'd get it back in 7-10 business days. It's currently day 7 and I've yet to get it. While I'm glad I apparently WILL be getting the $640 back, I was not informed about the extra charge beforehand and wouldn't have been had I not called. My problem is, what if I didn't have the extra money in my account? $640 is a lot to give away. I understand the need to verify the card, but not by doubling the price of my ticket.

    Just had one of the most frustrating experiences of my life. I tried to book a travel package deal (air and hotel) through Expedia.com. Two hours ago I booked it and was told the booking was complete and to expect a confirmation email shortly. I thought an hour and a half was fair and when I didn’t see one I logged back in to find that there were two identical trips book with different booking numbers. I sent an email and got one back stating that they forgot to send me a confirmation email confirming my identity but they would complete everything if I clicked “Book Now”. I did and a message popped up saying they were not able to complete my booking. The total I was quoted was $1094. I called the 1-800 number to God knows where and got a girl I could hardly understand.

    I explained my problem and she takes twenty minutes trying to figure out what was wrong, making up an excuse that there were website problems and that she would enter everything back in. At the end she quotes me a price of $1294. When I said, “No way, I was quoted $1094,” she says Expedia has no control over prices and that airline fares may have risen in those 2 hours. I demanded to speak to a Supervisor. After a 10-minute hold I get a fellow named Joe who had an even bigger foreign accent. He was less help than the girl. Have five attempts to spell Beachcomber, I finally had had it and unloaded and canceled the trip. He said he sent me a confirmation email of the cancellation. I then received 5 emails from Expedia — all charged to my credit card for various amounts. I have yet to receive my cancellation email. Contacting my credit card company.

    Never ever again am I going to use Expedia. Airline changed flight in a layover and said I needed to talk to Expedia about it. Change in layover meant a 3 hour wait turned into a 16 hour wait. Expedia refused any accommodations for the night, and said that another direct flight was full, regardless of eco/premium/business class. When I arrived to airline counter and found seats were available (11 seats), they refused to pay the $50 difference between the flights.

    Representatives refuse to give direct lines, last names, or any way to be held accountable for what they say. They may sound nice when they first speak to you, but when it comes down to taking responsibility for providing what you paid for they are absent. From now on I'm booking directly from airline even if it is more expensive.

    With the thought I had cancelled a 4 day stay in Nashville 3 months ago, I received a call from the hotel to confirm my reservation that starts at 3 pm, 5 hours from the notification call. It seems I was mistaken on the cancellation (could have been my fault?) So, long story short, I was charged the night's stay and cancelled the remaining 3 nights. The problem that tortures me with Expedia is in the year that I have had an account with them, I received 3-6 email a week from them trying to sell me something (more trips, Etc.) but no reminder or confirmation of my upcoming stay so this whole situation could be avoided.

    I was under the illusion that this is the reason to book through online sources is the added convenience of notifications and such. I know Booking.com and Choice hotel, who I have used before do give you a reminder of upcoming stays. I did call Expedia to cancel my online account as there is no way to do it online. I did kind of expect an apology and some agreement that upcoming stay info should be one of their services, but no, they cancelled my account and asked if there was anything else they could do for me. Unacceptable.

    I reserved a car through Expedia at Thrifty Car Rental. Upon arrival at the rental counter, they had our reservation but no cars. We waited 45 minutes as they tried to find a car, and during the wait they never said they did not have any cars. We were able to rent a car at another rental company. When I complained to Expedia, they said, "Sorry but we can't do anything." Something should be offered, a discount on the next car rental, etc. I won't use Expedia or Thrifty again. I help arrange travel for the staff of a $100+ million dollar company. We won't be using Expedia or Thrifty either.

    If you go to website for a hotel search and enter a check in date the default check out date is 1 day later. Fine. If you buy an airline ticket from them they send you an email asking if you need a room for your trip, they default the checkout date to the date your flight leaves the entry city. SCAM. If I’m touring Europe for a year do I want to spend 365 days in Paris? We used the first method to select a hotel for one night and booked using Expedia’s Generated email. They booked us for many days beyond the one day we needed. In the thousands of dollars. We called immediately for a correction. They refused because the hotel was a non refundable hotel, Expedia is a corrupt company that will STEAL your money and not bat an eye! Avoid them at all cost!!!

    We booked our first cruise excursion through Expedia and everything went just fine until we got on the ship and found out our ship was scheduled to leave the destination earlier than originally told. This was a “2 hour Sunset Cruise” excursion, that left at 4:30pm. The ship changed their schedule to leave at 6pm instead of 7pm. We paid for the protection plan thinking we would be protected. Wrong! With no telephones on the ship, the only thing we could do is sent the Shore Excursions Group an email. We did that as soon as we got on the ship which was 2 days prior to the excursion. They replied for us to call the office upon our return. We did and were told the office would confirm the ship's itinerary change and get back to us. We never did hear. When we asked the people on the ship, they said if we had booked it on the ship instead of on Expedia it would have been no problem- that was our mistake! Never again!!!

    I made hotel reservations through Expedia for a hotel in Mexico. I received a confirmation from Expedia for the two rooms I reserved. When I got to the hotel in Mexico the hotel manager said I didn't have a reservation and that the hotel was fully booked. I got Expedia on the phone and they said, "sorry". I was on the phone, mostly on hold, for almost an hour with Expedia customer service as I stood near the hotel check in desk. Horrible experience.

I then checked my TD credit card online and noted a 4200 dollar charge from WestJet. I told the agent and she was surprised but confirmed that the booking got booked then immediately canceled. She also went on to explain that I would have to wait 3 days for my funds to be returned to my credit card. This is unacceptable. I spoke to a supervisor in customer service, and she actually had the audacity to tell me that my card was declined because I did not have the funds. What a joke!

    I used Expedia to try and find affordable airfare to fly from Philadelphia when my mother became ill. I did get fairly cheap airfare and the flight out there was ok. Unfortunately my mother passed and the funeral was set for a few days after my return trip was set. I called the airline to try and either be given a credit or have the itinerary changed. They told me since I bought the ticket through Expedia that I would need to contact them. I called Expedia and the first person I talked to told me they could work with me and just needed to send me a form to fill out to either refund the ticket or credit it.

    He put me on hold for about 15 minutes and another gentleman picked up informing me he was a manager and explained there was nothing they could do and I either would have to use the flight or lose it. He then proceeded to ask me if I wanted to pay for another ticket home after the funeral. Needless to say I did not and will never use Expedia again if this is the way they want to treat bereaved families.

    I booked 2 different flights both priced the same. I booked one after another as the return dates were different. The pricing for all flights and passengers were the same. On the second flight I choose to book the flight and enter in all the names traveling with me, pick our seats and enter my credit card number and hit book. It then priced gouged me and charged me $212.00 more for all the tickets. I called Expedia and they would not help me. I called again today and was told even the supervisor tried to look up the original transaction before the price increase and it comes up with error messages. So they have to raise my case. Then it stated on both reservations on the website even before booking 2 free check in bags. I book the flight, go back into the reservation and I have to pay $25.00 per bag. They only show the baggage fees for one airline not two.

    So we choose Expedia to save money as our family is large. We changed locations to fly into our destination to save money. We used a different airline and Expedia to save money and instead we are farther away from where we wanted to go, paying for our bags and charged more fees than indicated which equals the same if we had just used KLM or Lufthansa. The website manipulates prices and is not accurate in information or just missing.

Instead, there was a link available to do so after booking, which took me directly to the airline website and each seat assignment cost $69 extra per person!!!. When I called Expedia, they kept claiming airlines do not open seats to assign until 24 hours before departure, which is a total nonsense. Then why would Expedia advertise the ticket price includes "seat choice" when it's not available at the time of purchase???

If they had put on the website that I had to pay when booking I would have booked a different room.

    We are complaining about the transport reservation that was made almost 2 months ago and when we arrived to Germany we did not get the service although we paid 124 $ for Munich + Berlin. We had to pay additional expenses for the transportations. We were connected by Expedia and the shuttle company. We arrived Berlin at 13:00hrs and nobody was waiting for us although they should have pick us from the airport to the hotel. We try to contact their office but there was no answer. I went and ask a security person to help me and find my ride. He wasn't able to reach them. He took me to the Information service and their 2 people tried to call and get some answers about the transportation but nobody answered the phone.

    I wrote them to pick me from the airport at noon time and from the hotel at 17:30.pm. Their driver arrived the hotel at 15:00pm and not as agreed, therefore it is not my fault. He arrived the hotel and waited exactly five min., no more. The reception lady told them that we are reserved the transportation at 17:30pm. Never the less they took the funds without giving any recompense therefore I demand to get the money that I paid back or otherwise I'll demand to compensate even for the additional transportation expenses that we had. In my opinion they are not reliable as they seem to be.

    Spend quite some time to enter all the information. However, price suddenly went up after agreeing on everything, but before pressing the final confirmation button. And it is worded in such a way that people are pushed to make a quick decision to pay more for the same ticket. I ended up closed the window, and went ahead to buy from a competing company the same ticket, at the same initial price from Expedia. So, the sudden price hike was from Expedia, and not from the flight company!!! It is a shame that such a big company is cheating consumers like this!

I was told I could cancel the flight within 24 hrs. As for the hotel, the operator said he could call the hotel and cancel the reservation on the condition that I re-book at the hotel. We both agreed that if the price went up just a few moments ago, it would probably be higher when I went to re-book.

    This was the first time using Expedia. I had to go through them because this is who Alaska Air uses for their vacations. I was transferred to them from Alaska Air, upon getting a customer service rep I realized I could not understand him. I asked for someone that spoke English. I'm hearing impaired and have hearing aids through Bluetooth. He told me to hold and then he would transfer me. The next person was just as bad. I told him the same thing and he got really angry with me started yelling at me. I hung up. I then contacted Alaska Air via Facebook and they gave me a different number to call. Unfortunately they couldn't do anything. So I decided to do this online.

    This trip was to fly to Hawaii for my mother's 80th birthday. Upon booking I opted for the insurance per flight just in case (which is for a full refund if you have to cancel the trip). Trip was booked on December 31 2017. We chose to fly out on the 28th of Jan-February 4th. We were going to stay at the Hilton in Waikiki beach. I had to get a rental car to reserve it. I had to give my credit card info. After booking I got my confirmation for rental only. I tried to contact them requesting my confirmation number via email and no response. A friend of mine called them and he too had difficulty understanding them but we did get confirmation number from her.

    January 12 2018. I had to call and cancel trip. We had a family emergency. Since I bought the flight insurance I figured this would be easy but it was a nightmare. I had to call. I had to have this rep repeat herself several times and you could tell she was getting frustrated. First off that trip insurance I paid extra for? She stated I had purchased it after booking and I told her I did it while I was booking. Secondly they agreed or shall I say the Hilton agreed to refund me for hotel. According to Expedia Hawaiian Air refused to refund me and Expedia gave me a voucher. Ohh and the rental car company (Economy) they refused to refund me. See I put in my cc number and apparently that gave them permission to charge the whole balance to my card. This company is fraudulent. I'm surprised they haven't been sued yet.

They said it would take 72 hours and it took 2 week to get a response saying that they couldn't find the recording and I would have to pay another $200 to fix our flight. I'm have never been more upset with a company. Based on other reviews I have read they are a very dishonest company that I will never use again. Please avoid at all cost.

    I was booking with Expedia for years and everything was great until last couple of years. First of all it is very disappointing that they outsourced customer service to India. I am from Seattle and it was much easier and better to understand someone from Seattle than from India. Secondly this is the second time I am having problem with Expedia and I think this is a last time I am dealing with Expedia. On January 23rd I ordered trip to Yuma, AZ and I picked Hotel El Rancho Motel and clicked submit. I did a screenshot right before I submitted just in case. To my surprised I got confirmation in about 5 minutes with completely different hotel! I immediately called Expedia and said its gotta be mistake and even sent them copy of my screenshot. I was told it will be fixed but they need up to 48 hours to resolve it.

    Today, January 25th after more than 48 hours of waiting I checked my Expedia reservation online and hotel has not been changed. Again, I had to spend almost an hour or wasted again an hour and was told basically that they cannot make mistake, period! When I asked them that one of us is lying and since I know what I booked and have a proof I will never deal with Expedia again - they just said "do you have any more questions?" and that was it! Very rare I write review but in this case I want to make sure all potential Expedia customer know that even if you pick something online with Expedia it DOES NOT MEAN you will get what you picked.

    I'd rather give Expedia zero stars, but this is not possible, alas. On September 29, 2017, my wife and me were to fly from Dubrovnik to Bristol, via Dublin, with Aer Lingus. We had made the booking through Expedia. The flight was first delayed; and then cancelled (flat tyre, serious), we were taken to a hotel, courtesy of Aer Lingus. As we absolutely had to be in Bristol the next day, to celebrate my mothers 85th birthday, and there was no prospect of the Aer Lingus flight leaving anytime soon, we phoned to Aer Lingus, late in the evening. The lady on the phone was helpful enough, and agreed to cancel our flight, so we could book another flight ourselves. This we did, and we made it to Bristol, almost in time.

    The Aer Lingus-lady had also given us the phone number of Expedia, to request the reimbursement of the cancelled flights - about 480$. I talked to them for one hour (they said they had to check with Aer Lingus), and in the end, they told me that the refund would take place in about 8 weeks (X-mas 2017). I complained about this long delay, but finally settled for it. We are now a month and several unanswered emails from my side later than X-mas 2017, and I still did not see a written confirmation that I would be refunded, and of course not a single dollar on my bank account. I continue to write mails to Expedia, and have now started a kind of naming and shaming campaign. I'll keep you posted. My advice: avoid Expedia.

    Through Expedia, we booked 3 nights at Oldfields House in Bath, England. It was a horrible experience -- non-flushing toilet, no hot water, tiny room, no place to put anything, strangely aggressive receptionist. We left the next morning and contacted the manager the next day about refunding the remaining 2 days. He said we'd have to deal with Expedia which we commenced to do upon our return from the trip. We got a complete run-around from customer service and after many emails I stopped trying. The gist of Expedia's argument was that their arrangement with hotels preclude giving refunds. I asked for a copy of this arrangement but never heard back. I will never use Expedia again.

    I booked hotel in Milan last night. On the main screen it clearly said "Free Cancellation". When I went to book the room, it had many options, two different rates, had Free Cancellation options and I selected one of them to book two rooms. Upon confirmation I realized that the hotel was little too far from the exhibition center so I booked another hotel thru Expedia. When time came to cancel, it won't allow. I have spent 55 minutes on the phone last night and supervisor promised to call me today at 11 am, never happened. I called this morning and spent 24 minutes on the phone and no luck. Now I have been on hold for last 37 minutes. Shockingly they don't have the option to take information, look into the issue and call me back. I am surprised how they are staying in business with such bad customer service.

    I booked a flight and hotel to Paris with Expedia. I wish I hadn't. They have given the worst customer service I have ever experienced. After booking, I found out that the airline we booked with was less than reputable. I called Expedia to cancel. They said I could cancel the hotel but not the airline thru them. I had to call the airline directly. So I called the airline and they agreed to refund me the airfare portion. I tried to book new airfare on Expedia but they were going to charge me double because I no longer was booking a package deal. I called Expedia again and asked to cancel my hotel so I could rebook a package with new airfare. They informed me that I was not allowed to cancel my hotel for any reason. I waited two days and my airfare was still showing as active on Expedia.

    I called them and asked them about it. I explained that I wanted to book new airfare right away as flights were quickly increasing in price and I didn't want to wait, but needed to know that my previous flight was in fact canceled. They told me to call the airline. I told them that I had already done that but that on their website, it still showed as active. They put me on hold for 45 minutes then told me they would transfer me to the airline's phone number to speak with them. Again, I told them that I had already spoken to them and they had told me it was canceled but that I wanted to hear Expedia confirm this before I booked another flight. They refused to confirm it and told me it was active and I would be able to board the original flight that I already canceled with the airline. I am SO angry! At this point, I don't know if we have a flight or not. I don't know if I need to buy tickets or not. I will NEVER book with Expedia again. What a ** mess.
