I run a non profit for adults with disabilities. I made reservations 10 months in advance in order to keep the costs as low as possible for this group for a vacation I was planning for them. A few weeks before their vacation, I was sitting in front of my computer working and I started receiving cancellation notices for their rooms. I immediately called Expedia and they told me that someone had called in and cancelled the rooms. I explained that would be impossible if they verified the account because I am the ONLY one who has access to this account. I said I needed the rooms back and when they went to retrieve them, they were no longer available. They stated I would need to rebook at a different property.
As if that wasn't bad enough, a property of equal quality cost me $190/night/room instead of the $90/night/room I had paid. They told me they would launch an investigation. I told them that I would expect to be reimbursed for the additional charges I was now needing to pay for my rooms. I DID NOT CANCEL MY ROOMS AND THEREFORE NEVER SHOULD HAVE NEEDED TO BE BOOKING ROOMS AT THE LAST MINUTE. I received a call back the next day by a supervisor who informed me that they had listened to the phone call and that a man named Gary, who claimed to be my husband (that is not my husband's name), had called in to cancel the rooms AND because he was supposedly able to verify my email address and my account information (which I believe would be impossible - it's not a published number) Expedia went ahead and cancelled the rooms.
Expedia believes that because I received a refund for the rooms that I NEVER cancelled that they owe me nothing. I had to rebook rooms and pay over double the price. Instead of paying $1700 for my 6 rooms I am now paying over $3000 for my rooms. I have spent over 3 hours on the phone with Expedia when I am the victim. If your credit card gets stolen and is used, the credit card company acknowledges the fraud and covers the charges. Apparently Expedia doesn't protect their customers in the same manner.
What makes this the most troubling and upsetting is the fact that their story does not make a bit of sense. I currently have over 20 reservations in my Expedia account. Why would someone call in and steal my identity to cancel 6 hotel rooms on one reservation. It makes NO sense. When I asked to hear the phone call, I was told no. This leads me to believe that what happened, the only thing that makes any sense, is that Expedia mistakenly cancelled my rooms, but because admitting their error would result in a large reimbursement to make right their mistake, they came up with this ridiculous story. I keep escalating my concerns, only to wait on hold for long lengths of time to have someone get on the line to say they are not able to help me. Their only solution has been to give me an address to write a letter to their legal department. Not acceptable.

Expedia left us stranded in San Juan. We went on vacation and for our return they booked the flights too close making it impossible to connect to the flight. There were 6 of us and we traveled from Vieques, PR to San Juan, PR. Our flight landed in San Juan at 1:36 PM and our United flight began boarding at 1:37 PM. By the time we got from one end of the airport to the TSA with a security escort it was already 2:00. We went through expedited TSA and ran to our gate and the flight had already closed and left. We spent $8000 on this trip for flights and hotel. After being put on hold for hours we waited stand by for the next flight. Sold out, the next one out of San Juan was Monday night so 3 of us took that one. I left behind my 3 daughters for the next day to fly out.
We incurred hotel expenses, meal expenses, cab expenses. I asked Expedia to pay for these because they improperly booked the flight home and after 12 hours of holding (2 hours at a time since the 8th) they said that they would reimburse the hotel charges that were incurred. $400. I will never use Expedia again as they will leave you stranded with no help. 2 days in a strange city after vacation. We incurred parking charges for our cars, missed work, missed another flight and just the all out frustration of being put on hold on a daily basis and after a couple of hours of holding the phone disconnects. Never again because there is no help or customer service there. The call center is in another country and you cannot understand most of the time. I cannot tell you the frustration I have been going through just to finally speak with someone.
I sent in my hotel charges that they claim they will refund but nothing else for the 2 days that we were forced to stay. It is sad that they are getting away with this so often. Especially after reading all the complaints it is all so similar to what we have endured. I will use a travel agent next time. Will see if I truly get a refund also. They have to verify the expenses. That will be 24 hours and 48 hours for a response, then 5 days for refund. I am sure I will have to go through rounds of calls again.

I booked a round trip flight for my husband and I on Expedia. The time I booked for our return flight was 2pm. A couple of days before our trip, I was pulling up our itinerary, and the time of the return flight was changed to 5pm. I was not notified of this change. I called Expedia and someone answered fairly quickly. I explained the problem and they said there was a "special department" to handle this and I was transferred. After 45 minutes and no one answering, I hung up. The next day, my husband called, was told the same thing, and was on hold with the "special department" for 30 minutes.
He then called back, explained the problem with customer service, said he wanted to speak to a supervisor, and insisted that he not be transferred. He was transferred into oblivion again. He ended up calling the airline directly - American Airlines - and they were WONDERFUL. They said they could see that the flight had been changed and had no idea why. They switched our flights, with no extra charge, to an earlier time. We will not be using Expedia again. Customer service is awful. I did a review for them that they emailed me about their service, and I was honest. It's been a week and I haven't heard a peep. They don't care.

I booked with Expedia. ca online and never received a confirmation after 24 hours so I thought it had not gone through as it has happened before. I then rebooked. After rebooking, the charges came through on my credit card for the previous booking too. I called to let them know and ask them for a refund. They charged me a $75 per ticket cancellation fee even though the error was theirs and I had still never received a confirmation.

On June 7, 2016, I attempted to book flights for family vacation from Toronto to Halifax. An internet interruption during the booking process returned me to payment page for paying twice, I refused and logged out. I checked my email and didn't see any confirmation letter, so I thought I didn't book the flight through Expedia. On the second day, I booked through CheapOair successfully. On June 9, Expedia took money from my credit card account. The flight is non refundable. I am out of $2,000 or $1,000 if I use flight credits. Either way customer service is helpless.

We were requested by Expedia to call back regarding our flight. Since we had a bundle deal, we have since tried to contact Expedia regarding the hotel, more than 9 times at international rates. The only thing we got was that we were constantly being connected to someone else, even Expedia Canada, so we told this story more than 20 times now. And as soon as someone is trying to give us some information, we get disconnected, never to be contacted again. Expedia changed our flight the second time (this trip) and we got saddled with extra costs for our stay, without any compensation from Expedia. I am a gold plus member and very dissatisfied with Expedia.

So I booked a round trip flight to visit my boyfriend for his birthday through Expedia. The last leg of my flight was on Cape Air, an 8 seater plane. I had never flown on a tiny plane before, and didn't know what to expect. Let's just say, when I finally reached the end of my fight, I was kissing the ground. I decided I never wanted to put myself through that again. The flight made me extremely sick.
I called Expedia to say that for my returning flight I would like to cancel the first leg and just take my second and third flight to my destination, that I would just take a bus to Boston instead of fly there. The first woman I spoke to told me that it was not possible to cancel one leg of my flight without cancelling the entire trip... HOW DOES THAT MAKE ANY SENSE? I was not looking for a refund, or even to change my flight at all, just wanted to keep myself from getting sick. So I asked to speak with a supervisor. She transferred me to another woman, after 20 minutes of waiting, and this woman tells me that I can change my flight but it will cost me at least $200. So I contacted the airline directly. The airline told me there is nothing they can do to an Expedia reservation and all changes needed to be made through Expedia. I will never ever use Expedia again...

I booked the 6 identical flights for a family event. Later, I had to 1) move one flight day and 2) cancel one of the 6 flights for someone who couldn't attend. So far, I have spent a total of 7.5 hours on hold and counting. Not kidding. In almost every case, I have had to call in more than once to do the same thing as their agents just dump the request and won't complete them. They don't appear to care if you're dissatisfied. Airlines often have poor service but I have never had such a poor experience with any company as I have with Expedia.

When looking to make a booking from Adelaide to London and return from Munich to Adelaide in Business class (as a treat!) we experienced sinister and fraudulent activity by Expedia call centre personnel located in India. In short, having spent 3 hours on the phone, we selected our itinerary, provided our banking details and noticed the staff member was rushing through the booking (however 3 hours on the phone!) and would not take such information as our frequent flyer number, confirm along the way that our seat requests were possible to be held and at the end of what should be a simple booking to complete provide confirmation that our itinerary and seats have been booked... When we're quickly transferred to another member of staff who had no idea why we were transferred nor did we understand only to find that the seats were not booked due to the airline not accepting the booking!!
In parallel we reviewed our banking statement online and witnessed the charges for the flights which have now been confirmed to being denied by the Airline being applied to our bank. We placed a hold on the cards and stop payment due to fraudulent behavior and misuse of our credit card information to protect our finances. So we were in the middle of a booking which ended up not being confirmed by the Airline however Expedia took the money anyway!! It was then explained that a refund would take up to 72 hours. Our flights were for the next day's travel and with our cards now on hold and close to being maxed out due to the cost of Business class we now cannot travel on the day needed.
The staff in this office also confirmed that we would not be charged for the tickets and due to ticketing not being issued there would be no cost for canceling!! Canceling a booking which was rejected by the Airline I might add! In all a terrible experience and one that comes with a warning - DO NOT BOOK THROUGH Expedia.

My wife and I recently traveled to Italy and bought travel protection plan at a cost of $159. While there, we had a death in the family and needed to return immediately. Called the number on the protection plan after purchasing an international phone to talk to Expedia and the doctors. Called Expedia 4 times, and each time was put on hold and then the call dropped, eating up 60 of our precious 90 minutes on the newly purchased phone. On the 5th try, they finally claimed that the return flight in our package was virtually worthless and that the airline would charge $300 per person to change flights so we were better off just buying another flight. I explained to them that a one-way return flight on our currently booked flight was $2700 each while the new one-way flight home was $988 so how could that be??? They said there was nothing they could do but could help me book the new flight completely at my own expense.
Never once did a single customer service representative ever acknowledge the loss we had suffered or the frustration with their service. After more than 15 years of only using Expedia for all our travels, I will never use them again for the way they treated us and their deceptive advertising. It's clear to me now that travel insurance is an oxymoron and Expedia does not care about its customers. Go elsewhere - there are plenty of options! If I could have given 'No stars', I would have.

I planned a trip and needed just one extra night. I booked through Expedia. An emergency came up out of the blue and I had to cancel my trip and my week in St. Maarten. I was able to get most of my money back through the week I had in St Maarten and my flight. The one night I booked with Expedia, was terrible! Never book with Expedia! I was charged the full amount with no one to contact or no one to call me back. I get business. I'm a business owner and I understand a penalty. But to rip the customer completely off after the customer is trying to contact the customer service department for 2 days!!!

I booked a trip through Expedia that included airfare and hotel. The confirmation email that I received from Expedia explained that I would have an extra charge of $20 per night from the hotel for resort fees. At the end of our stay at the hotel I was billed $30 per day for fees. When I contacted Expedia with the issue they claimed that the resort fees were always $30 even though I have it in writing that I was to pay $20 per night. BEWARE OF EXPEDIA'S FALSE PRICING. I will never book through Expedia again. I have had much more reliable experiences through other booking companies.

Recently booked a hotel via Trivago and ultimately through Expedia. The price advertised is NOT the price billed! If fees and taxes can be generated on the billing page why can't consumers see them on Trivago and Expedia? Not so long ago airlines used similar techniques to attract business until public outcry had them list REAL prices for their fares. I would keep away from Expedia and use hotel websites where you will be advised of fees and taxes ahead of time so real comparisons can be made.

I booked my package deal for 2 people from Chicago to Punta Cana (flight + hotel) for a total of $2,170.20 and I checked the price again less than 36 hours, it was $1,882.92!! $300 difference! When I called up Expedia to help me with the variance in the package amount, they said only hotel can be cancelled, but not flight. Instead I will get a flight credit which should be used within 1 yr, same carrier and same travelers + $200 reissue fee!!! Here I called Expedia to work on the variance (savings) of $300, instead they suggested me an option to pay $400 ($200 per person) extra for re-booking my flight. This is ridiculous as I am not asking them to cancel the package, but give me the better deal on their own site. Customer Service isn't trained to answer the questions to the point, instead keep repeating the same message like a tape. I will not recommend this site in future.

Travel tip of the day: NEVER USE EXPEDIA. Reserved a hotel that was perfect and then a few weeks later I received an email stating that the hotel is no longer available. Called the hotel and they have new owners and are renovating that weekend. After two hours on the phone with the rep, I finally was able to book a replacement hotel. It was decent, but extremely far from the venue I will be attending and so I decided to go a different route with a different company and cancelled the second hotel reservation. I was assured that I would receive a full refund.
Weeks go by. No refund. So I call to check up on the status. Result? Expedia decides to play the blame game, going back and forth from saying that the hotel has my money (I called Hampton Inn and they see the cancellation and confirmed that they were never issued my money from Expedia) to blaming my financial institution, saying my bank is holding the money to make sure this isn't a money laundering scam (went in and spoke with an account rep, and as suspected, there is no hold on any payments going into my account).
Additionally... Expedia's service rep informed me that the cancellation was never marked for the first hotel, so I will be paying either a cancellation fee or the full rate for a hotel that no one - not me, not anyone at all - will be staying at because all of the rooms are under construction. After speaking with multiple customer service reps about the issue and receiving numerous reference numbers that don't seem to matter when I provide them to representatives in the future calls, I finally receive an email that says a refund will be issued within 15 days. Yay! And then I look closer... It is being issued to a completely random unknown credit card.
So I'm sure someone with this Mastercard will be thanking Expedia, but after this 2 month long battle and this new hiccup of me scrambling to recover from a serious financial blow a day before I depart for a long awaited family vacation, I will be far from praising Expedia. I now know why Expedia is one of the most complained about sites out there. For all of those wishing to have a wonderful stress-free vacation, I highly advise you to book your vacation through a different company.

This is a lousy company that includes Orbitz too I think, and they do not care about you as a customer when it is time for them to pay you.

If I could I would not even rate it 1! Called Expedia on June 4, 2016 to get refund for one person in group of six that I booked for airline tickets to Toronto. Experience was terrible and waste of time for two hours on phone. They start by saying that yes you can get a credit refund for canceling flights. Then they proceed to help you cancel flight. Even though I booked round trip airline tickets on their site, Expedia split the ticket into one way departure and one way return. Now l know why. It's to rip customers off on booking fees. Receive email from Expedia regarding canceled flight credit voucher which will give traveler up to one year from date booked to reuse ticket ($219.42) through Expedia with rebooking fee of $200. For the return flight they sent similar email with credit voucher of $199.36 with rebooking fee of $200, which is more than the return flight.
In summary, ticket that I paid $418.78, plus additional $27 for travel protection plan, plus $41 through Air Canada for seat assignment per traveler, so the bottom line is I have to rebook with Expedia to replace this flight and I will only be credited $19.42 toward another flight. Bad costumer service too for leaving me on hold for over a hour and fifteen minutes with no check-in as to what was happening. Will not be using them again.

I have booked through Expedia for more than a decade. Since our recent retirement those bookings have included parties of 4 and 5 who travel with me and who have been assured repeatedly by me that it is worth a few dollars more to have a reliable agent (Expedia) to intercede should problems arise. This has been my first experience with actually having problems and much to my dismay Expedia has been notably unreliable and unresponsive.
# 1) THE AUTO: In Portland our booking through Expedia could not be located by the agent. I had copies of the confirmation which included the number and a price for the rental. The agent at Enterprise could find no record. With the print out of the confirmation in front of her she proceeded to redo the paperwork. A delay; ok, that was no real issue. However, once I had signed the table, then and only then did I see the price which was $400 higher than quoted.
We have traveled enough to know that local taxes and fees occur (in Europe) but the price quoted by Expedia said quite specifically INCLUDES FEES AND TAXES. We did not include any other options yet there was a $400 increase in price. The issue is NOT the local fees. The issue is that my information from you was grossly inaccurate. The response from customer service was a resounding “Oh, well.” So Expedia scores poorly on reliability and on customer care. Unfortunately, that was not the end of it.
# 2) Traveling through northern California, cell service is spotty. We were unable to complete a reservation in Roseburg at the Best Western Garden Villa inn (Aman **, general manager) while on the road. My husband took my phone with the Expedia price into the office. He was instructed to complete the reservation via Expedia. The confirmation was long in coming so the clerk, in an attempt to help, checked us in using the Best Western site.
When my husband came to the room he expressed concern regarding the process. And behold, despite the delay in booking, the charges were immediate, $83.37 from each agent. I went to the office, and was told to contact Expedia to cancel and they (Best Western) would approve the cancellation and refund. Three calls; two disconnects and no results. Aman ** assured us that he could complete the refund process for us but to be patient since it might take 3-5 days. Well, it has been 20. The charges are on my card still.
Let me add that the reservation day was in error when the confirmation came through. I would have accused my husband of just having fat fingers on the phone EXCEPT that precisely the same error occurred to the couple with whom we were traveling. Separate site (Expedia and Hotels yes I know it is the same company), separate phones and separate cell carriers. That most assuredly indicates that the error occurred at the server. Both couples were charged twice. Neither has been rectified to date. The point is simply this, $83.37 will not break the bank. But what it will do is jeopardize the future business. In the last decade, I have booked exclusively through Expedia because I felt at ease traveling with their support. It appears that was a misapprehension and it also appears that exclusive relationship is about to end.

I recently booked a hotel room in Germany through expedia.ca for my boss. I booked over the phone and the agent called the hotel to make sure there would be 2 beds and not 1 double. After confirming the 2 beds, I completed the booking with the Expedia agent. The agent assured me that the reservation get submitted to the hotel within moments of the booking. Two days before the check-in I emailed the hotel to ensure that the bedding specification was confirmed only to find out that Expedia did not send the booking to the hotel.
The hotel had no record of my booking, so I forwarded the hotel my Expedia confirmation email. At this point there were no longer any 2 bed rooms available at the rate which I booked. Expedia refused to correct their mistake and said if I would like 2 beds on the reservation I need to pay 50 EUR more per night. The biggest issue is that I have already paid over $1800.00 and may not have a room that can accommodate the people traveling. I will not book through Expedia again. This has been a horribly expensive mistake made by Expedia.

Update 2nd June: After waiting over 8 weeks for a refund, I contacted the airline who Expedia say have my money. The airline informed me that Expedia have the money as the airline processes refunds in 3-5 working days, not the 2-12weeks that Expedia claim. I was advised to consider using the small claims court or at least contact the Airline Ombudsman. So it seems Expedia are lying and hanging onto the money for as long as possible, blaming any hold ups on the airline who have already transferred the funds. As usual, Expedia hold the party line, refuse to even look into what is going on and continue to repeat '2-12 weeks, it's the airline's fault' ad infinitum...
Flights booked and paid for in full on 26th February, and additional cancellation insurance purchased. A week before the flights are scheduled the times are changed completely. A voice message is left for me with no detail other than 'call this number'. The number begins 0207 for a national rate call to London. It is impossible to get an answer from this number in less than 30 mins. So far I've had to call 9 times, totalling 6 hours. During the second call I was told explicitly that 'The airline has issued a refund.' Despite this I am still waiting for this to be credited to my account 5 months after paying for the flights. Each person I speak to simply says 'It can take 12 weeks' with no other explanation. To top it all, I discovered this morning that the 0207 number I was asked to call is diverted to a premium rate line and I've been charged £33.48.
Net result of dealing with Expedia?1) Still waiting for £498 to be refunded for flights which were useless to me because the times were changed.
2) There is no way to find out when this money will be returned without spending at least 45 mins on a premium rate line to someone who gives no information beyond 'Wait for 12 weeks and if you don't receive a refund call back.'
3) 6 hours wasted on phone calls which have cost £33.48. Net gain by Expedia? £531.48 in the bank for providing no service whatsoever beyond paying below living wage to someone in India to read pre-prepared statements from a card for 6 hours.
UPDATED: Posting on this forum gets your issue immediately under the noses of the 'escalation' team, who called within a couple of hours of this post. The only thing they succeeded in escalating was my level of exasperation. A completely pointless call as the person tried to justify not refunding the money by saying behind the scenes the money is transferred to the airline rather than Expedia. As far as I'm concerned, and legally under consumer law, my contract is with Expedia and not the airline. If I book a flight through Expedia then I expect Expedia to deal with anything arising from it. They are happy to take the booking and the money, so I fail to understand why they do not refund it if they cancel the booking.
The person told me exactly the same story that transpired in the other 9 phone calls - nothing had changed. I still have to wait an arbitrary amount of time which could be up to 12 weeks, and if I don't get the refund call them back on the premium rate number. Regarding the premium rate call charges, they will only investigate if I supply full copies of my itemised phone bills with details of every number I've called, when I called it, and how long for, for the last three months... A complete and utter waste of my time and that of the Expedia representative. I could actually hear embarrassment in his voice as he repeated the same tired lines.

My daughter booked a flight from Guatemala to Mexico with Expedia. It said that there was a 24 hour free cancellation. Twelve hours later she tried to cancel the flight. First of all the numbers they give you to call can't be called from abroad so we asked a family member in the U.S to call for us. Five hours later he was still trying to get some information. He was initially told to call the airline and cancel through them, but they told him he could only cancel through Expedia. After another 40 minute wait the rep told him he couldn't cancel even though it said on the site that he could.
He asked to speak to a supervisor and was put on hold for another 45 minutes then he hung up and redialed and was on hold for a further 30 minutes after which he was transferred to the supervisor and left waiting for another 50 minutes. He hung up. They called him and put him on hold again. Next was my turn. I called Expedia in England. They put me through to the U.S. office after a 15 minute wait then after another 30 minutes the rep finally told me that the 24 hour cancellation policy actually doesn't mean squat.
If you book a ticket with Expedia with a 24 hour cancellation promise, all it means is that Expedia will cancel your booking BUT THE AIRLINE WON'T!!! So you lose all your money! What a con! I am so disgusted with Expedia. They deliberately mislead the customer and their customer 'service' (if you can call it that) leads a lot to be desired. It's obviously not based in either of those countries and it was difficult to have a clear conversation. I will definitely warn everybody off booking through Expedia after this. They are crooks.

Thought I bought a ticket on Expedia, but was billed for TWO tickets, on different flights, different airports, same time. Spent an hour on 2 calls to Expedia in India trying to straighten it out (cut off once, of course) and then to my credit card company and now have to plead with United Airlines for a refund. Very frustrating and annoying, and probably expensive as well. One star is one too many.

Unethical company. So to be clear with everyone: I called Expedia on March 9th to cancel a trip to Puerto Rico which was 9 days off. I waited 1 hour to get to speak with a service rep. who then put me on hold for an hour to get ahold of a supervisor, who then took an hour to cancel my trip for my 2 hotel rooms and flight. I asked that they retrieve the service voice recording to show that the Sale Rep stated no less than three times that the trip could be cancelled with 7 days notice. And to have this escalate to an officer of the company to call me back. They stated they would have someone get back to me immediately and the recording would take 5-10 days to pull and they would follow-up with me. They did neither.
Now things go further downhill. I get my AMEX bill and they only cancelled one of the rooms on March 9th. I am now considered a no show at the hotel. It gets worse. They never cancelled the flight and now JetBlue considers me a no show. In the service notes read by the service rep is documented to cancel the whole reservation. How do only then cancel part of the trip?? Who would you say is at fault here? What would most companies do in this situation? They would reimburse me (you) for the cancellation and take ownership of their mistake.
Expedia's response is to say I did not show up for the Hotel and Flight and I am responsible - of course I did not show up because I cancelled the trip. What do they do next? They ask me to stay on the phone to call the airline and hotel to ask on my behalf if they will reimburse me. Have you ever heard of a company calling one of their vendors to ask for them to reimburse the customer for their mistake and blame the customer for their issue. I went through the same absurd discussion with their corporate service department with similar wait times. Can anyone help me here or tell me how to turn on the common sense light for the Expedia service department?

I booked a package for both tickets and hotel from Hong Kong to Samui 3 weeks ago. The total was 3000 USD for 2 people. Expedia sent me a confirmation letter confirming the tickets and hotel room are all set. I received an email 10 days after I booked the package saying the tickets got cancelled because my credit card did not go through for THAT PART. BUT the hotel rooms are booked without any flight tickets. They have charged us $2000 USD for the hotel. And said if I want the tickets I will need to pay an extra $2000 USD because the price went up! Which is ridiculous! Since I have booked a PACKAGE and they have sent me a confirmation right away but told me only half was booked and the other half did not after 10 days by email!!
They refused to give me the same deal and left me no choice. If I wanted to book hotel and flight tickets separately I would not be choosing a package right?! I ended up finding a slightly better flight tickets deal online since the hotel room are non-refundable but needed to pay $3500 in total for the whole trip instead of $3000. SAD.

I am writing this email to tell about my unpleasant stay at the hotel booked via Expedia. I booked the room from Expedia on April 22, 2016 at 10:03 AM for the date May 28, 2016. As per my itinerary my room type was Standard Room, 2 Queen Beds. I reached hotel around 11:30 PM and asked about my room. They gave me keys to the Room Number 161. When I entered the room, I saw that the room has only 1 King size bed. I told to hotel staff that this is not the room which I booked. So they replied me these were the details they received from Expedia "and now we don't have extra room for you."
I don't know how they can modify my room type by their own without asking me. I immediately called Expedia to resolve this issue. They put me hold for approximately 2 hours and transferred my call to different persons who were repeatedly asking my issue but no one was there to resolve my issue. After lot of discussion with your hotel staff and Expedia I was pissed off. Finally, I asked them extra comforter at 2 AM and I slept on the floor because of which I didn't get proper sleep. It affected my health. It was really very bad experience and I regret to book the room via Expedia. Hotel Details: DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Buffalo - Amherst. Confirmation # ** Itinerary# **.

This review pertains to Expedia's refusal to help us after they booked us for the wrong nights at Best Western, Henderson, NV. On Expedia's website, we booked the nights of March 17, 2016, departing March 20. When we arrived, the hotel had no reservation for us. Upon checking, they discovered Expedia had booked us on March 13 for 3 nights. Expedia never sent me an email confirmation, and hence all I had was a screen print from Expedia that gave the reservation confirmation number and the name of the motel. Neither Expedia nor the hotel was willing to make any financial accommodation. Since no other hotels in the Las Vegas area had any available rooms (unless we were willing to pay around $1,000/night). We wound up paying $728 for 3 nights in a Best Western.

I booked flights with Expedia return to New York and l also booked flights from New Orleans back to New York to catch return flight back home. The flight times from New Orleans changed by nearly 3 hours which Expedia didn't tell me. When l printed my boarding passes l realised we would miss the connecting flight back to the UK. I then spent nearly 3 hours on the phone to Expedia customer services being given a total runaround. During this time the flight prices from New Orleans back to New York tripled. I was forced to buy new flights, Expedia just quoted policy to me and were totally unhelpful.
I have sent numerous emails and messages over the last 2 months and just keep getting fobbed off or ignored. What has completely shocked me is that even though Expedia sells itself in the UK as Expedia.co.uk it doesn't actually have any presence here; l am dealing with a call centre in India so l can't even take them to court. How do they get away with this? I was forced to spend nearly 700 to buy replacement flights which is totally down to incompetence by Expedia.

Purchasing travel protection through Expedia is a joke. It in NO WAY helps you. I paid 50$ extra for our trip to be covered in case we needed to cancel. When we decided to cancel, they only refunded part of our trip, and gave us no options to cover the rest. This should be illegal to charge people extra for something that is false advertising.

My cancellation fee from the airline was more than the cost of the ticket so I had to pay them more money to not go home. Then I called the travel protection insurance that Expedia provides and it turns out they don't cover trip interruption/cancellation for Military leave. So I had to eat the cost of the ticket, the cost of the insurance, the cancellation fee, and the rebooking fee and after all that I still need to purchase another ticket to go home to see my wife and kids. Expedia has some great deals but your travel plans better be concrete and make sure you read all the fine print. I will never use this site again.

I booked a hotel 3 hours from home to attend my daughter's triathlon. I looked for deals through Expedia in hopes of finding a great deal for myself and family. I found a hotel within budget that sounded great. I talked other family members into also attending and making the same booking through Expedia. We booked on a Tuesday, check-in was Friday. We used the Pay Later option (at check-in) in case I had to cancel for any reason. Expedia says there is a free cancellation policy if cancelled in 24 hrs. We did not cancel and we were excited to be able to go on this mini trip. Expedia site stated this hotel had a casino, nightclub and all these wonderful amenities that were NOT offered. This hotel was in the middle of a field, around nothing.
I called Expedia MULTIPLE times, kept being disconnected after hours. Talked to MULTIPLE "managers". Finally spoke to a manager that reached the point where it seemed to be close to being resolved. She verified Expedia site did INCORRECTLY have the wrong information posted. She spoke with the manager at the hotel. They both verified there was NOT a casino or nightclub at the hotel and never was. The Expedia "manager" stated they were not responsible for refund because they gather their information from the hotels directly. So the hotel was responsible.
The hotel stated they were NOT responsible because they would not and did not give them false information and the reservation was not booked through them. The credit card was taken from Expedia and they aren't paid until we actually are checked in. But per hotel policy we had to cancel 24hrs in advance in order not to be charged full payment. So it boils down to neither taking responsibility for the false information posted on the Expedia website. Three days later, hours and hours of been placed on hold, speaking to multiple "managers" and countless complaints with hotel. I was told by Expedia the hotel manager who initially was present when we checked in has agreed to refund us in full.
I've determined Expedia will NEVER issue a refund on Pay Later bookings so it's pointless dealing with them, period. Their representatives lie, barely know English and don't understand half of what you're trying to communicate with them, you go in circles. The best thing to do is just pressure the hotel to refund you. It's the only chance you have to get issue resolved.

I asked the lady from the hotel to explain to Expedia that I was in Mexico therefore did not want to be tied up on the phone with them, she said she would let them know to make alternate arrangements.
When I arrived in Toronto @ 10:00 pm I called Expedia only to discover they had not made any alternative arrangements and there were no hotels available closer than 15 kms. The phone time took @ one and a half hours. By the time I was put back and forth between personnel and one time I was completely cut off when I was supposedly getting transferred.

I would like to bring to your attention that I missed my connecting flight at London Heathrow airport to Paris France due to the original itinerary allowing only 1 hour and twenty minutes to make the transfer from Terminal 3 to terminal 5 to board the British Airways flight to Paris. This was impossible to do because: Virgin Atlantic Flight from SFO was on schedule but it was a wide body airplane with 200 plus people on board. It took app 15 to 20 minutes to exit the aircraft at the gate. A shuttle bus was required to go between terminals. This required app 10 min walk to catch the shuttle and then another 10 min shuttle ride to get to the other terminal.
At terminal 5 another 5 plus minute walk to get to the LINE for passport checks... this took app 40 minutes due to only 3 windows open and one window had a problem as the same people were at that window the whole time I was in line. Once at the passport check... the agent wouldn't allow me to go farther as "I was late for the flight and I still had to go thru security."
I had to go to British Air ticket agent to rebook for a later flight. They put me on a standby but said I probably would not be able to get out that evening and would have to wait for the next day. This was totally unacceptable as I had a hotel booked for that evening in Paris and also a very early flight the next day to go to Geneva. Another British Air agent changed my itinerary to go to Geneva from London on a 5:40 pm flight. I had to pay $560 for this change and also book another hotel room for Geneva which cost $180. I feel that Expedia should have been aware of the issues in making the connecting flight and that an hour and twenty minutes was not enough time to do this and therefore I should be reimbursed for my additional expense of $740.

I apologize for this rant but PLEASE BEWARE: Country Inn & Suites By Carlson, O'Hare South in Bensenville, Illinois is one of the worst hotels I have ever been too, with some of the most disrespectful employees. I booked a hotel for Thursday night (5/26/16) at this hotel on Tuesday for a surprise Birthday trip for my husband. It says on Expedia that they have cribs available, but I also called to verify that it was an actual crib like they advertised. The person who answered reassured me it was an actual crib.
We arrive at the hotel at 3:30 pm, get to the front desk to check in with Sonny and he assures me the crib will be brought up to my room within several minutes. We get to our room and these two women drop off a PACK N' PLAY (WHICH IS BROKEN BTW) and I call the front desk to let him know we must have a mistake because this is not what they advertised and not what I was told. He then goes on to tell me that they are the same thing and that he will do his best to "look" for a crib that I like. For anyone who has a child, you know the difference. Not only that, but my daughter will NOT sleep in a pack n' play even for a nap let alone a whole night.
I would have also brought my own if that were the case. We leave to go downtown about 40 min, later from arriving and I tell Sonny that I have to know if they will have a crib in time for when we will put her to bed or we will have to find another hotel. He calls 10 min. after we leave the hotel and assures me that he found a crib at Walmart, that the hotel is going to purchase it and it will be in our room for when we get back. He then WAITS to call 2 HOURS later and leaves a voicemail saying Walmart made a mistake and that they are out of stock so there is nothing they can do.
We were out to eat so my phone was in my purse and I did not receive the voicemail until 8:30 pm. By that time we were heading back to the hotel. We arrive at the hotel at 9:30 pm. to meet a new women at the front desk who tells me she is the manager and will be able to help us. First she was nice, but kept pushing for me to just cancel my room with them and they would figure something out afterwards. I told her several times I did not want to cancel, I would like a hotel with a crib and I want to be compensated the difference with the hotel because you FALSELY ADVERTISED. She calls Expedia who even tells me that I should not cancel because it is the hotel's fault and they have a department who specializes in relocating guest who were mislead by the hotels.
WARNING: EXPEDIA IS THE WORST TRAVEL COMPANY AND I WILL NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH THEM AGAIN. I was transferred over to Irene in the relocation department who talks with me and after several minutes tells me that this is the hotel's mistake and that she will find a hotel for us within the next few minutes because my husband is driving my 10 1/2 MONTH OLD daughter in the car around the parking lot to keep her sleeping. Irene tells me that she needs to speak with the woman at the front desk to verify everything then we will find you a hotel. The women at the front desk starts accusing me of lying and saying that they have a crib and I'm taking up a hotel reservation that they could be making money on. This is when I start to get upset.
I start telling the women at the front desk that she is falsely advertising the hotel amenities and is accusing a guest of lying. She put her hand in my face and goes "You need to sit over there in the lobby, I am doing my job." ARE YOU KIDDING ME. Irene calls me back on my cell phone and I go outside to speak with her because I do not feel comfortable in this hotel anymore. While I am outside speaking with Irene, the women at the front desk has the nerve to go by the doors and try and eavesdrop to what I am saying. Then I go back inside to tell this women that "Irene stated that you have to compensate for the difference, this is your hotel's mistake."
She has Irene call her on the hotel phone and goes into another room and I can hear her yelling to the woman calling me names, accusing me of doing this because I am younger, and saying that this isn't her problem. IRENE FROM EXPEDIA calls me back and says she can no longer help me after promising me another hotel and hangs up on me. Keep in mind, I am 4 1/2 hours away from home, my husband is still driving my daughter to keep her asleep because it is now 10:30 pm and we have nowhere to sleep and do not have an additional $190 to whip out for another room. I call Expedia again and get a hold of a women named "Judy" at Expedia in the relocation center and she apologizes for the misunderstanding and guarantees me that there will be a room for us at another hotel.
I tell her that there is a hotel at the Holiday Inn and they have an actual crib but it would be 139 for the night and 51 for the valet but that was the only other hotel I could find. While I am outside talking to Judy in the parking lot quite a distance from the hotel door, the front desk women sends an employee to stand by the bushes to eavesdrop on what I am saying and give me dirty looks. Judy tells me she has to call the hotel to verify my information and then she will come back on the line and find us an hotel with a crib.
After 10 min. of being on hold she comes back on the line and states that the women is saying I am lying and she does have a crib in our room. I tell Judy this is ridiculous and I will not be accused of lying and will be more than happy to take pictures of everything. She says that will no longer be necessary and that she can no longer help me because this isn't her problem and she will transfer me to customer service and they'll figure out something. Here I am bawling my eyes out frustrated and no one will help me, they won't even give me a refund yet at this point.
I finally get a hold of Monica in customer service at Expedia and she "apologizes" and says she "understands" and she will be able to help me. It is now 11:30 pm at night, my husband is still driving in the parking lot because if she stops our daughter will wake up and start hysterically crying and then want to nurse. Monica promises she found a room at the Holiday Inn Suites in downtown Chicago and is going to refund our money for this hotel Country Inn & Suites and comp our room at the Holiday Inn.
All we will have to pay for is the $51 for the valet. She tells us this is our only option but first she has to put me on another hold ANOTHER TIME to just speak with Country Inn & Suites to get my refund and then she will be back on the line to book the hotel so we can drive over there. Monica DOES NOT get back with me until 12 am and when she goes to book a hotel it tells her it will not let her because it is "too late" in the systems. SHE PUTS ME ON ANOTHER HOLD and get back on the phone then tells me "unfortunately since it is too late now, we can no longer get any rooms and we don't have a place to stay that night."
She "apologizes" and states she will put a $200 coupon on our account for another hotel with Expedia another time, LOL. We are forced to drive home at 12:30 at night back to Michigan and we do not get to enjoy my husband's birthday which was the whole point of this trip. That money they refunded me for my hotel will take UP TO 15 DAYS to go back into my credit card so it's not like we had the extra money to order another room especially at 12 am at night in a city/state we aren't even familiar with. TODAY I call the Holiday Inn and the women at the front desk told me that they could not book the hotel on the computer, but if the MONICA would have actually called them and booked it over the phone we would of had a place to stay that night. I WILL NEVER BOOK WITH EXPEDIA OR ANOTHER COUNTRY INN & SUITES AGAIN.

Oh how I loved sitting here reading all of the horrifying reviews about flight changes and hotel issues and PRAYING that was what I was going through right now. But it's not. Instead I have a whole other problem to deal with. I booked a reservation through Expedia two weeks ago for my trip to San Antonio that is supposed to be happening in a week. During this time, I chose to pay all expenses at the hotel and gave them a credit card number to hold the room. YESTERDAY, two weeks after booking and a week before the reservation, there was a draft on my account pending for $301.76 from Howard Johnson. There was a line of numbers behind the name of the account, and my hotel fees were only $295 and some change, so this charge made no sense.
First I called the unhelpful and extremely rude desk clerk at the hotel I had booked with, only to be transferred to the manager's voicemail. I have left him two messages since this time and have not heard back. The term 'credit card fraud' was even mentioned in one of them. Next I call the customer service of the hotel. The awesome gentleman there told me he was not seeing that they collected money and I should call Expedia. Here's where the fun begins. Not one person I have spoken to with Expedia had known enough English to help me resolve this issue, and I'm almost wondering if that is the cause of 90% of these problems. I was told that their records showed I had cancelled my reservations at the hotel directly, I had not.
Their records also showed that they had not taken any money from my account, no duh. But now I have charges and no one knows where they came from. I quickly called my bank. WAY TO GO BANK! They traced the HJ account back to being a FALSE ACCOUNT. My debit card information had been STOLEN from the Expedia website!!! So my bank is working on getting the money back. My card has been locked. I may not receive a new one before the time I'm supposed to go out of town and I have spent 6 hours on the phone with Expedia already. I have no hotel because though Expedia says reservations were made, apparently they weren't, not really. And to be completely honest, I'm pretty sure nothing will be done about it. It is so tempting to say I'm likely going to be looking into a lawyer and a news channel that want to take this site down for good.

I purchased online, the Expedia advertised "Deal of the Day" to Puerto Rico San Juan on Thursday May 19, 2016. The deal stated: Purchase hotel room, receive flight for free. We paid $1489 for a trip to the Conado hotel in Puerto Rico. On Saturday May 21, we read a news report that Zika virus was in Puerto Rico. I called Expedia Sunday, May 22 to inquire about the cancellation policy. We were informed that the price of the hotel could be refunded, but the airfare was non-refundable. I informed the agent that we purchased "the Deal of the Day", which stated that "purchase the hotel, airfare was free". I requested to speak to a supervisor. I was placed on hold FOR HOURS!
In the meantime, an Expedia agent called Delta airlines and cancelled our flight, without permission. I called back today, Monday... Left on hold for 2 HOURS! The "Supervisor" advised me that in fact, I CANCELED our flights, and they did not have any record of a "Deal of the Day" stating the flight was free with hotel purchase. In conclusion, Expedia is doing false advertisement, and stealing money from consumers. We should be entitled to ALL of our money back, the hotel refund policy is a full refund if canceled by July 3, 2016. I spoke to the following supervisor who refused to give me her supervisors name: ** - Corporate Care Center, Las Vegas Operations center, 101090 Covington Cross, Las Vegas NV 89144.

I recently booked a vacation package with Expedia and for unexpected reasons had to cancel. I purchased the Travel Protection and was able to get my hotel refunded and a credit for the Delta Airlines tickets. I have since tried to use the Delta Airline credit to rebook a new flight but found it to be impossible to book without long hold times and doubling prices. The only way to use the credit is to call an Expedia customer service representative to book the new flight. I called back to back days and each time found a reasonable flight that the credit covered… only to have an “ERROR” occur when trying to finalize the booking. That then resulted in 3 hours of “on” and “off” hold times for each call.
During the extremely long hold times different levels of supervisors and managers would come on and attempt to complete the transaction. However, each time a new representative came on the call… THE PRICE OF THE TICKET INCREASED SIGNIFICANTLY. At the end of each call the price of the ticket had more than doubled, completely wiping out any credit I had in the first place. The price was so high that I literally could have gone on the website and purchased a different ticket (or maybe the same flight) for the price of my credit.
This happened on 2 separate calls over 2 days which indicates to me that both Expedia and Delta Airlines are scamming customers that have credits and forcing them to pay extravagantly higher prices. I am so frustrated and disappointed that I have decided not to travel and will not use Expedia or Delta Airlines again. Unfortunately that means I will lose my credit but I am confident that to use the credit it will actually cost me more in the long run. My advice is to avoid Expedia and Delta at all costs. So much for “Travel Protection” and “Price Guarantee”!!

I am 20 years old. First time buying a flight on my own without my family's help. We always buy from Expedia. But after this... Never again! On Sunday May 15th I booked a Roundtrip of 5 days for two travelers on Expedia. I filled out the information, went on with the payment page and continued to book. Error. I looked at my bank. Nothing was wrong. I tried again. Error. So I refreshed the page because I was thinking my wifi wasn't connecting correctly. Error. I went back on to my bank account and found out I was charged over $1000 for a flight that was only supposed to be roughly around $800. I called Expedia and talked to 3 different reps. One guy told me that the charge should fall off in 3 days. One lady told me the reason it's giving me an error is because Delta does not want to pair up with United... If that's the case then why is there flights all over Travelocity and their page with Delta paired with many different flight agencies.
The 3rd woman told me she should separate United and Delta and that way it would be cheaper but that made my card decline. I only had enough money to buy this one flight and now I can't buy any other flights because my card is now negative. Expedia then sent me to the department that could help me take the transaction off except they were closed. Monday May 16th. My mom raised hell with Expedia and they repeatedly screwed us over and gave us countless excuses. I then went over to my bank and they faxed a reversal transaction document to Expedia but the Fax # they gave us was a fake number. Today is now May 21st and my account is still pending 1009$. Please do not waste your time with this company again. I will no longer be visiting Expedia again.

I intentionally booked a one way flight that was more expensive than layover/stop options, and paid more for the convenience of a one-way flight that arrived earlier. Expedia notified me of a flight change and the only options were to do a layover flight (arriving 2 hours later than I needed) or another one-way flight (arriving 5 hours later than I needed). I opted for the layover flight. But I noted to Expedia that when I initially booked, the layover flights were FAR cheaper than the one-way flights. They refused to provide a discount or refund and only offered a $100 coupon that expires in a month for the next trip I would book through Expedia. Needless to say, I will not be booking through Expedia again and instead will have to own up to the fact that I am paying FAR more money for a cheaper, later arriving and less convenient flight. Their policies are illogical and fail to meet any standard in customer service.

Expedia made the changes and charged me $400 plus change in flight fees and change in hotel fees. Expedia charged my credit card for the airfare and then added 406 more dollars to each ticket. There was no hotel confirmation number. It just said "confirmed". That should have been my red flag. My husband and son got to the hotel, no reservation. 6 hours on the phone, several hang ups, Expedia later, I said "I want my money back". They said "we have to charge you 145 for cancellation."
I was livid at this time and told them to make me whole in this transaction. They hung up on me. I called my credit card and disputed the hotel fee, the airline fee and the refund of $400.00. I used expedia in the past with no problems. But when a problem arises there is no relief provided by the company. Expedia blocked my account so that I could not provide documents to the credit card.

Expedia is the absolute WORST company to buy airline tickets from. I bought a ticket to Hawaii and am no longer able to go on my trip because of a MANDATORY class. Although I read the refund policy, I would have thought they would try to help me solve the problem and potentially give me a refund because it is a situation I have no control over. My ticket was for July. July is prime time travel time, so my ticket would obviously be repurchased by then. I went through three levels of "management" (I don't think I ever actually spoke to a supervisor) and all they did was read off of a script. What kind of customer service is that? Reading off of something that I had just read online. I was put on hold multiple times with a total call time of an hour and a half. Then, it sounded like someone was about to pick up the phone and they hung up on me.
I gave them a callback number in the beginning if I were to be "disconnected" (aka hung up on) and do you think I got a callback? NO. Never buy from Expedia. Terrible company, terrible customer service. What a joke. I would give them zero stars if you didn't have to at least put one.

Bottom line I cancelled the trip and they burned us out of 1200.00 for fights even though they said we would get the money back...
There is no US based customer support so if you use them and have issues have fun trying to understand the reps. If they can't help you they transfer you then they hang up on you. You call back same thing over and over. Every rep tells you a different story "Yes you will get your refund, no you will not". If you have 3 hours to be on hold and talk to these people then use them. After hours and hours spent trying to get my refund I still didn't. They also charged my card other expenses that were not authorized by me. We also emailed the CEO and nothing back from him. Maybe he uses the same customer support? Thankfully Chase was able to help me out and dispute the charges for me after we already spent hours trying ourselves. I then booked the trip through applevacations.com, they are US based and actually answer the phone with limited hold times.

Mother's Day weekend my husband and I booked a getaway for ourselves and our daughter. I received a confirmation from Expedia. We went to the hotel to find out that the reservation did not go through. The hotel did not have a room for us, not to mention every hotel which suited our needs was booked! There was nothing the hotel could do whereas this issue fell back on Expedia. I contacted Expedia in which they found another hotel for me. I might add this hotel was not near as nice as the initial hotel I had booked. I thought we deserved a discount of some sort for their mishap. They refused over and over and would not take credit for their mistake.
Finally we went to the second hotel, to find out when we got there it could take up to 5 hours for the process to go through on Expedia's end. At this time it is 7:30 and my daughter's bed time is in half an hour. I was fortunate I only lived 40 minutes away and told the hotel clerk I am not interested and I am heading home. On my way home I contacted Expedia again, requesting my money back. They refused continuously, not to mention the customer service agents were exceptionally rude. They continued to insist I HAD to stay at a hotel. After 3 1/2 hours of arguing with them and calling several different agents, I finally got my money back.

I am a gold plus member with Expedia, that means I have book many trips with them. I was on their site on Sunday attempting to book a trip to Playa Del Carmen, Mexico for my husband and myself along with my sister and her husband. I found the resort and flight package I wanted but the system froze on me. I took a picture of the screen, logged off and then back on. When I logged back in, the prior price had gone up by four hundred dollars. I immediately called Expedia. The agent found the resort and quoted me the same price for the dates we wanted. This took me over an hour. When he was reading me my itinerary he said the wrong resort. I questioned him and he quickly corrected it. After I hung up, I waited for my confirmation email. It never came. I called Expedia and they resent it to me. Didn't receive it. This went on for 5 more calls. Each time they confirmed my email address.
I finally got an agent who said the first agent had typed in my email address incorrectly and that's why I didn't receive the confirmation. He said once it was entered he couldn't change it. It took him a half an hour to manually type it all in and sent it to me. When I received it, my reservations were for the wrong resort!!! I once again called Expedia. At this time I have been on the phone with them for 3 hours. I was told that they would have to listen to the recording of my initial reservation and was put on hold for an hour and 15 minutes. When the account manager came on she said Expedia couldn't honor the price for the hotel I wanted and that I would have to pick another resort. I asked her if she had listened to the call and she said, no, it wasn't a priority reservation. I told her I had a picture of the screen showing the price, but that didn't matter. I then picked another resort we had stayed in before. She couldn't find it.
At the same time I was on their website and was looking right at it. I could have booked online. After many attempts at trying to talk me into other resorts, she told me I should just cancel the hotel reservation and attempt another day. I said "That would be fine, but what about my flight?" "Oh well, that we can't cancel." So, they wanted me to forfeit the money I spent on the flights... She then found the resort I requested and changed my husband's and myself. While she was changing my sister's reservations her computer went down. She said she would have to call me back when she got out of a meeting and we would continue. At this point, I have been on the phone with them for 6 hours. When she called me back a while later, she told me that the resort was now full and that she would have to book my sister and her husband at another resort. WHAT!!! Then she said, "Wait a minute. It may have gone through."
Well she couldn't confirm we had a reservation and told me that it could take a couple of days before the resort would be able to confirm. At this point, she attempted to send me an itinerary, but once again couldn't because the first agent put in my email address incorrectly. Are you kidding me. She had to manually input it as well. Long story, wasted day, 7 hours total. She gave me a $200.00 hotel voucher from Expedia. I tried to use it the next day and it was declined. So much for gold service...

On our honeymoon, back in September 2015, we booked a $932 flight through Expedia to get from Corfu to Paris with a layover in Prague. Then the plan was to get my dress and our wedding luggage in Paris and then catch our flight from CDG to SFO home! When we checked our luggage in Corfu, we were told our luggage was booked straight through to CDG. We arrived in Prague and had a 6+ hour layover, so we wandered around the airport a bit and happened to stumble across our luggage in a far corner of the baggage claim. We gathered it up and went to speak with someone, who told us "sometimes that happens", but that we couldn't re-check it until the kiosk opened.
We went to the kiosk at 6 AM as soon as it opened to re-check the luggage for our flight to Paris, but we were told by Czech Air that "there's no ticket for us". I showed her my Expedia printed ticket, which said clearly on it that "this was an e-ticket that could be used for boarding". In fact, the only reason we went to the check-in kiosk at all was to re-check our luggage which was supposed to have gone straight to Paris in the first place otherwise we would have tried to get on the plane with those tickets we had! We were told firmly that Expedia had made a mistake and that there was no ticket issued for us on their side, and that we should never have even been allowed to get on the plane to Prague because there wasn't a ticket for that either, and they didn't know how we got on that first leg.
I stood at the kiosk and tried to explain to the lady that we needed to get on that plane because we were picking up my wedding dress via courier at CDG and then catching our transcontinental flight back to SFO. Meanwhile Kevin stepped aside to call Expedia using the only possible option: our cell phones. We had already lined up the maximum international roaming plan through AT&T, but calls are still $1/min. and Expedia kept us on hold for literally hours that morning, blaming Czech Air for the problem and saying they had nothing to do with it. Expedia said there was nothing they could do for us and that our $932 flight tickets were simply lost somewhere in the communication, but that they wouldn't do anything about it. So I called. I got someone else who said that they would try to get to the bottom of it. We heard nothing back. Obviously we missed that flight, and our intercontinental flight home as well.
Evening came, and we had to get a hotel. We had to take an Uber to the hotel, at which point we had no idea what to do. My sister got on Twitter to say that we were stranded in Prague and couldn't get ahold of anyone to help. We immediately got a call from "Addison **" in the Tier 3 department, who stated that she was going to help us, that she'd get us home, that let's not worry about itemizing the consequential damages at this time but that she would take care of that after we were safely home. She outlined a flight that would leave the next morning at 11 AM through Lufthansa. We said, "YES, YES, YES get us on that flight", and she said she would call us back when it was confirmed. Evening turned into night and we had not heard back.
The next morning, I woke up early and packed up everything. We took another Uber, got to the airport and called Expedia again because we hadn't heard from them or gotten any email with our tickets for the Lufthansa flight, so we needed to get our tickets from them to get through security to catch our flight. After again being put on hold, we spoke to an extremely caustic male individual who stated that there was "no way" that Expedia would ever give us a return flight home and literally said that he did not believe me and accused me of making up the entire story. He said he had no record of any phone call with anyone in Tier 3 and that there was absolutely no flight booked for us out of Prague. We tried to get ahold of someone else to no avail, and eventually watched our second flight change from "on time" to "boarding" to "closed" to "departed" on the ticker.
We went to McDonald's to cry over some fries. Finally, my cell phone got a call. I spoke with a woman whose name I don't remember who told us she'd get us home on a different flight. I explained that my dress and wedding luggage was now stranded in Paris and to please check if we could layover through CDG so we could pick it up. There were no flights through CDG in their price range that they were authorized to cover, she said, so we ended up with a flight through LHR with a 10+ hour layover and a second layover in Chicago. We said OK, just get us home. I tried to get confirmation that she would be covering the consequential damages because of the missed flight from the day before, and she said she could not promise anything that wasn't already promised by Addison ** yesterday.
We took the flight, and had to get another hotel for our 10+ hour layover in London. We went through Chicago. We eventually got home. Months later, we had to have personal friends take taxis to pick up our stranded items in Paris from where they had been stored for a few months and then check them in their luggage back with them to Seattle. Then it had to get shipped back down to us in San Francisco. We submitted all our records to Expedia for reimbursement as soon as we got home. This included the two nights in hotels, the Ubers to get to the hotels and back to the airport, the minutes used on international calling to get ahold of someone to help us, the storage for my dress and luggage, and reimbursement for my friends' expenses in recouping my items in Paris and the shipment from Seattle to us in San Francisco.
Expedia says that they will not cover anything besides the first item. Not the Ubers, not the storage for the dress or luggage, not our friends' fees to pick up our stuff or check it back, or to ship it back to us. Not our hundreds and hundreds of dollars of AT&T fees to get ahold of someone to get us out of Prague. Why? They said that "their records show that they specifically booked us through London so we could pick up the dress". As you all know or can see from my profile picture, our wedding was in PARIS, not in LONDON. The London layover was chosen because they never booked us on the promised Lufthansa flight, and it was the only one left that they'd pay for.
I tried to explain their misunderstanding back in November. They have refused to respond to my messages since. That last communication was in November - six months ago. Expedia has completely stopped answering my calls or emails to Addison or anyone else in Tier 3. They have never reimbursed us for even the hotels that they did say they'd cover. They say that if we had wanted reimbursement we should have gotten it authorized before we accepted the flight in Prague (this statement comes after Addison told me specifically that we should worry about just getting home and they'd pay for everything after we were back). They have just gone completely radio silent in the hopes we'd go away. I've even offered to take some of the compensation in Expedia points if that was easier for them to get authorized. But nothing. I'm fed up, and I thought all of you should be aware of how they treat people.

I paid for insurance and had to cancel my trip since my grandmother died. Expedia told me they would give me credit for the trip. What they don't say is you are not paying the prices on their website, you are paying top dollar for what the airline is charging. For example, Expedia is $323 to fly to Arkansas on United Airlines on Expedia's website. What Expedia does is charge a $200 dollar flight change fee plus they go to the United Airlines website and charge you their top fee. So the flight was $875 after paying the penalty fee plus United Airlines fee.
Now if you went directly to United Airlines it would only be $675 so why would I pay the highest fee. I think it's a gross misrepresentation to let the customer think she/he is protected by paying insurance when in truth you will pay more. Remember you are not getting EXPEDIA'S WEBSITE PRICES. I believe in working with company's that have integrity and this is not Expedia. I will no longer give them my business.

First she tried to charge me more than the price I was getting online, which she claimed she got resolved with a manager. Then after getting alerts from my credit card company on my phone that $1050.00 was charged she says we can't book trip for 5, we have to do 2 separate bookings/itineraries, I then said "forget it." I asked her to reverse the charges to my card and she said she couldn't and had to transfer me.
She dumps me off to another rep who had no idea why I was being transferred to him. I spent over 2 HOURS on the phone with the 2nd rep keeping me on hold for over 45 minutes and not checking back with me. Issue still not resolved, I am going to have to call my credit card company to dispute charges. THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND I WILL NEVER USE EXPEDIA!!!

I had a trip booked and needed to change the date. It took me OVER 3 HOURS on the phone to do this. The trip was booked by my daughter using my info. I had no trouble accessing the itinerary, but trying to get to a person who could actually THINK was the most frustrating experience I have ever had! All anyone could do was read from a script and when there was something they didn't know they informed me they would need to call a supervisor! This resulted in SEVERAL intervals of being put on hold because they do not have the authority to actually make any changes. Someone else with a brain must do it. It would appear there are very few employees at Expedia who actually possess this trait. PLEASE, do not waste your time with this company. I use Hotwire 95% of the time and have had very good customer service interactions with them.

My friends flew from Germany to Malaysia to visit me and booked a hotel via Expedia. I visited them there and was shocked about that hotel. Apart from the fact that the location was horrible, the cleanest and the overall of that hotel was a total nightmare. On the photos from Expedia, the hotel looks really nice but the reality is a drama. I offered my friends to move into the apartment of a friend. As my friends hardly speak any English I dealt with the girl at the reception of the hotel and she told us they understood that we would not like to stay here but my friends would have to pay for the one night they had stayed there. Fine, fair enough. My friends got in touch with Expedia the same day and the girl on the phone told them that she should enjoy their holiday and come back to Expedia once back home.
So they did – they wrote a report, they sent the photos to prove the accuracy of their complaint. The German department of Expedia offered a voucher of 100 Euro to compensate the financial damage with the argument that no one else has complained about the hotel. I checked it on TripAdvisor and the hotel has incredible bad reviews – actually out 22 reviews it has not one single review with 5 stars!!! As I myself was the witness when my friends checked out, I as well wrote to the German lady in charge at Expedia – she simply ignored my email! She did not even mention it in one word, closed the topic by repeating that my friends get the voucher of 100 Euro out of courtesy from Expedia.

I am so upset with Expedia and the way they handle mishaps. I booked a trip to Cancun for 7/17/16-7/20/16. The flight out to Cancun from JFK was at 10:30 am. And the flight coming back to JFK from Cancun would be at 4:00 pm arriving to JFK at 8:40 pm. That was the perfect time slot therefore I went ahead and booked the trip with the approval from my job to have those days off. Now I receive an email from Expedia stating that the airline (Dynamic Airways) had made changes to the flights. They even changed the airline name to "Denim Air". I am livid at this point. The times coming back to JFK has changed to leaving Cancun at 10:28 pm and arriving to JFK at 3:00 am. How am I suppose to get to work by 8:00 am and have a productive day. Please tell me how I would be able to manage that.
I voiced my concern to the Expedia representative and all she can tell me is that it is the airline policy that I cannot change the flight to a different airline. I must stick to this airline. The only thing they can offer me is a full refund. I don't want a full refund I want to go on this trip but with a better flight coming home so I can have a better work day the next day. That is the whole point of a vacation. The fact that Expedia allows this to happen is just ridiculous.

I have been on hold for 2 hours with Expedia. I booked a trip months ago, 2 weeks before we are due to leave there is a change in flight times. I need to be back for work and school, so the flight is no longer an option. Expedia told me that I can get a refund for the flight and book a new flight (2 weeks before departure the prices have doubled) so now that is out of my pocket, or stay on the flight that gets me home a day later!
I have been a member of Expedia and although not their direct problem, they should provide customer service and also help find comparable option since the changes were not my own doing but the airlines. The airline and Expedia should make up the difference in the changes. If I change my flight, I am expected to pay a change fee. Why shouldn't they provide the same thing for the customer? So, I am either out the total of my trip or I can come up with an extra $1000 for the difference in getting a flight that would get me home on the day I originally planned.

Kept us on hold each time. Was at the airport at 12:30. Plane was leaving at 4:59. Finally we had to tell Delta to cancel so we could get our luggage. When we got home we were notified that we would not get a refund due to the fact we cancelled. I'm retired and this was my retirement savings. We had insurance and they still would not fix my name and we could never have made it if they had fixed it at 4:45.

I have been using Expedia for years and have never had a problem with them until recently. I was in Puerto Rico last month and I had booked several tours through Expedia's website. Several of the tours were cancelled due to poor weather or not enough people signing up (not Expedia's fault) but since the tours were cancelled by the tour company and weren't because of us, I assumed Expedia would automatically refund me for it. That wasn't the case. The money was not refunded a week after the tour was cancelled so I called Expedia. I was told that the money would be in my account in 5 business days. I never received an email confirming the refund and I waited 6 business days and I still hadn't received it so I called them back again. I did get the email confirming the refund this time but it says that it can take up to 15 days for it to post to my account! 15 days! That will be more than a month after the tour was cancelled.
I am also fighting with them about another tour we had booked and ended up missing because on Expedia's site, it said that the tour company provided round-trip transportation. We were waiting outside our hotel 5 minutes before it said we would be picked up and after 20 minutes, no one had come. I called the tour company only to find out that they only pick up from a select few hotels and they would not come back to pick us up even though we were only 8 minutes away. That was the first time we had heard anything about having to go to another hotel to be picked up. After getting home, I've tried calling the other company to refund me the money for the missed tour because of the miscommunication between the two companies. They told me I needed to talk to Expedia about it because they're the ones with my money.
I've tried getting my money back for this tour when I called Expedia about the refund for the cancelled tour and they are refusing to do it. Since I haven't had this issue resolved through the phone, I decided to leave a review on Expedia's Facebook page. They responded to my post within a few minutes and told me to send them a private message, which I did. I told them about the problem and how we missed the tour because Expedia had the wrong information on their website. They tried telling me that during booking, it listed zones and said what hotels were the pick-up locations for each zone but offered to call the other tour company to try and get me a refund.
I responded saying that nowhere during the booking process, in the confirmation email, or my itinerary did it say that we were supposed to meet at a different location and that I would like them to call the other company because whenever I've called them, they've told me I need to talk to Expedia about it. It's been almost 19 hours since I sent that last message and I haven't heard anything else from them. This is some of the worst customer service I have ever had and I will not be booking any more trips through them.

When I rebooked the lower price, made all the selections and entered my credit card and went to confirm, the price jumped from 7575.14 (I have the print out) to 9910.10. So unethical, as a senior citizen traveling with our grandchildren, it makes us doubt the integrity of anything we try to do. They also said they couldn't get the same hotel accommodation so I had to change that only to get off the phone and find it on their site!!! They said they couldn't let me out of the hotel reservation without a penalty, so I called Germany direct and they changed it no charge.

I booked a two-way flight for my boss via Expedia. I needed a business class seat only for one way, going back to Toronto. The Expedia online booking only gives you option to choose either all economy seats or all business class seats. I purchased economy seats first and called Expedia customer service IMMEDIATELY after I received my booking confirmation by email, only a few minutes after I did the online booking. The voice prompts advises you to call the airlines directly for any changes in booking. I called KLM right away. KLM said Expedia has not "ticketed" my booking yet. I called KLM again the following day to give Expedia that time to "ticket" my booking. Only to be advised by KLM that I have to call Expedia directly because my booking was done through an "agent."
Clearly, Expedia website and customer service voice prompts had misleading advice! I called Expedia and waited patiently for over 15 minutes to talk to a call rep to explain everything only to be transferred to their ticketing department, and wait again. And then to my utmost shock, I was advised that there is an exorbitant change fee of $300 (per ticket!!!) to upgrade the seats. They will say it is airline's policy, not theirs. And it costs more to cancel the booking. Because you have already paid for the booking, you do not have any choice but pay for the changes! HIGHWAY ROBBERY! With Expedia, if there are changes that need to happen, you are screwed! You are better off dealing directly with companies you want to purchase a product or service from.

The price was pretty decent, so I decided to go on the hotel's website and see how much I was saving by comparison. Turns out I wasn't saving anything... I was actually paying more than if I would have purchased direct. So I took a screenshot of the total it would have cost me and filled out the online form. I checked the criteria checklist and I was good to go. Two days later I get an email stating that I did not meet the criteria because the cancellation policy was not displayed. So they went to check the website...
Two days later and told me the price was a hundred dollars more. I am completely disgusted. I will never use their service again simply because I will always have it in the back of my mind that I could get a better deal elsewhere. I should have checked them out online beforehand instead of just going by word of mouth. Turns out other people have had bad experiences too, just like me.

Booked a flight and hotel combo over the phone.

After I received the email confirmation that same day I realized Expedia's agent book us in the wrong flight despite I told him the exact flight number we wanted to book in three different occasions during our call. The flight combinations the Expedia's agent booked for us will not give us enough time to make an international connection (including customs and immigration). I called Expedia to try to fix the error caused by agent Bruce just after two hours of my original purchase. I spent two more hours on the phone with Agent Dwight, Supervisor Ram (Who was totally rude), and Manager Gene. Finally Manager Gene said there was nothing he could but to cancel the flight portion of my reservation. He also mentioned that the money would be refunded to my credit card in no more than 72 hours.
Since I didn't receive an email from Expedia confirming the reservation cancellation that day. I had to call again and ask an agent to send me an email confirming my reservation was actually canceled A week later and over 6 hours on the phone with 4 different agents (actually I am on hold right now), Expedia has only refunded half of the fare (2 tickets).

I'm not sure if this was Delta's fault or Expedia's, but in any case, I missed my flight to Cancun to my best friend's wedding for a "name mismatch". Let me elaborate this, I'm from Spain, where you have two last names, not one and usually 2 names. Apparently Expedia didn't understand that, and wrote my middle name and last names together as one. When I got there one hour and 40 minutes in advance (ok, I wasn't there 2-3 hours before as they recommend) and tried to do the self check in, the machine didn't want to let me check in, because it looked as if I was a different person. I had to stay in line for 40 minutes and when I got there, and convinced the person who was attending me that ** was the same person as ** (she had to check with her supervisor to make that decision), the check in for Cancun was already closed.
They wanted me to reschedule for the next day, which made no sense since the wedding was right at the time I would be landing, so I asked for a refund. And that gets tricky. Every time you ask for your money back, it gets tricky: both companies try to blame the other; Delta claimed that because I did it through Expedia, Expedia should be accountable for that. I called Expedia who had me on hold for 30 minutes and to tell me that it was actually Delta's fault and now I'm on the phone right now again with them (I'm on minute 28) trying to figure out who is going to give me my $530 back. My advice, never use Expedia. Go directly to the airline and if something like that happens, it's the airlines fault, they can't blame on somebody else, and clearly Expedia is not reliable to amend their mistakes.

My daughter and grandson in another room and my son and his wife with their 2 small dogs in the third room. That was the plan and the reason we booked with Days Inn is because Expedia said they were pet friendly. When we got to the hotel there are signs everywhere "No Pets Allowed". We had just driven 4 hours to get to the hotel only to find out no pets allowed. Days Inn said they have never allowed pets and they have asked Expedia several times to have the pet friendly removed. I realize that Days Inn shares some of the blame since their follow through sucked.
I started wondering how many others like us booked Days Inn through Expedia and had this encounter. On the bottom of our itinerary from Expedia it listed "additional hotel services". Under that was a pet deposit of $100 and a pet fee of $20 per night. Where did Expedia make up those prices from? Expedia did credit us for the room my son could not use, but he was now in a different hotel. Just saying, call the hotel first to make sure they are pet friendly. Don't believe Expedia.

The only place to possibly squeeze the bed in was RIGHT in front of the door... a serious fire hazard. We immediately contacted Expedia because the advertisement was false and there was no way a roll away bed would fit in the room.

We ended up being charged more for the one night at that hotel than we were supposed to pay for all the nights we would have stayed there. Expedia did absolutely nothing to stand behind us and support us moving to another hotel. I will NEVER use Expedia again!!

I booked a flight on Expedia, then they send me a confirmation email. However, when I tried to check in on the flight date. Staff in check in desk told me that the flight has been canceled. I called the Expedia customer service, asked them what happened to my flight. Attention, they just said they have no idea what happened, and refund me immediately. See, they refund me even I did not say a word, and when I ask them to be responsible for this. They ask me to wait, after 30 mins, the customer service came back and told me that it is me that canceled the flight!!! What the **!!! I never canceled the flight, and if I canceled it, why there is no email!!! They just do not want to take responsibility and pass the all ** to customers.

0 stars is more like it! I reserved a room for one night while traveling through Memphis, TN. I reserved the room one month prior to traveling. It was a non-refundable reservation so Expedia charged my credit card upfront. Five minutes after making the reservation I realized it was the wrong date. I called, spoke with a woman who told me she would switch the date but the room fee was $30 higher because my rate was no longer available - AFTER FIVE MINUTES?? After finishing with her I went back to the website out of curiosity and the lower room rate was still available... first lie.
Upon arriving dead tired at our hotel the other night we were told there was no reservation for us. I only had the Expedia itinerary number, no hotel confirmation number. I called Expedia from the lobby and got the same woman. Must be a tiny operation to speak with the exact same woman a month later. She blabbed her way through her excuses which boiled down to the fact that she had not made a reservation at the hotel which was now sold out. I was astounded as I could not believe they just didn't make the reservation. I would give anything to put them out of business - what if this had been a remote location with no other hotels. I HATE THEM! Please do not use Expedia - it is not worth it.

I booked a flight through Expedia to Vietnam, which I unfortunately had to cancel. Cancelling the flight was a simple and easy process, and I was given a credit voucher to use toward a future flight (with some stipulations), minus an airline re-booking fee. Not ideal, but I figured it was fair since it was my fault that I had to cancel, it is only fair that the airline would impose a penalty. My husband and I decided to plan a trip to Mexico to celebrate our anniversary, and decided to use my credit voucher toward the cost of the flight. Expedia only lets customers redeem credits by booking over the phone, not online, so I called.
Two hours later I'm still on the phone battling to redeem the voucher for money that is rightfully mine! First I talk with a representative who just barely speaks English, and we literally can't communicate. I thank him, hang up and call again. This time I'm connected with a woman who is helpful but completely clueless. She asks me 10 times for the flight information that I want to book (not exaggerating), while putting me on hold in between asking. She then comes back and says she can't find the flights in their system. I tell her that I'm looking at them on my computer screen on Expedia's website. She puts me back on hold, comes back 15 minutes later and tells me that she found the flights, and the price will be $2800 per person. I tell her that is impossible as the website is showing the price as $490 per person. She puts me back on hold, and her supervisor comes on.
He keeps repeating the price and asking me to refresh the website and that I will see the price increase soon. A price increase of $2400?? No. I suggest that we walk through the booking process over the phone together. He does it with me, and I realize that he's entering my flight until "multiple destinations" instead of "roundtrip." I explain that multiple destinations will make it more expensive and I want a roundtrip ticket because I'm just flying from point A to point B. He selects the roundtrip tickets and gets a price of $490 per person, like I did.
WHY DO I HAVE TO TEACH THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE AGENTS TO USE THEIR OWN WEBSITE?? He puts me on hold, comes back and says that their system is showing $2800 per person. I say I will only pay the website price and I expect Expedia to honor that price. He suggests that I just book through the website to get the cheaper price. I say if I do that I can't use the credit, which is my entire purpose for calling in the first place. I'm now back on hold waiting for a manager. I'm literally on the verge of tears. I think they're purposefully making it difficult to redeem my credit. Expedia you have lost a heretofore loyal customer for life!

I recently booked a hotel in Japan for October, 2016 -- six months ahead of time as part of a two-week trip. I also purchased Expedia travel insurance to cover cancellations. I had to change my itinerary and no longer needed the hotel so had to cancel. Even though it stated "no changes or cancellations allowed" on the hotel information on Expedia, I persisted. After all, I wasn't going to be there.
I called Expedia Customer Service --800-397-3342-- three times and spoke to different representatives over several days. They reportedly contacted the hotel, and finally, got the reservation cancelled. Canceling online was not available with this particular hotel. All the representatives were very professional and courteous. I am very pleased that they were able to cancel this for me without charge. Mind you, the customer service page online was BLANK-- or non-existent --during this time. Nor was the customer service phone number on their site. That's a black mark for Expedia. But the phone service was good once I finally got it, so in the end, I am pleased.

I was only refunded for 1/2 the trip. After more than 5 hours on the phone with them which including 3 different people and multiple dropped calls (2 of reps did not speak English very well) I'm told I only canceled one leg of my trip as clearly shown if I paged down 3 times on the screen showing my status. I tried to tell them that since the top line of my status says canceled, shows both my travel dates and the total $ amount that anyone would think this trip was canceled. I emailed them the screen 7 times but it never got to their system (even though it got to my other email accounts for testing). I even faxed them a screen print but they could not read it.
I told them their website is designed wrong and is showing misleading information (I'm in IT and know why it is wrong...) - they did not care and continually kept quoting to me that I was acting as my own travel agent and should read all of the information and very clearly told me I would not be getting a refund. I asked to speak to someone higher and was told there was no one and I was put back in their phone queue that dropped me after another hour. I'll keep pursuing other means to lodge a complaint. I had an issue with them before but gave them the benefit of doubt but now I wonder how can such a large company treat customers this way and get away with it!

I booked a flight for my mother through Expedia from the U.S. to Europe. A day before the flight I received a message from one of the airlines that the flight has been cancelled due to a strike in Germany. I called Expedia and after being placed on hold for about 45 minutes the Expedia agent simply hung up. After reaching Expedia again I was informed that all flights are confirmed and still valid.
Several hours later, I received a call from my family in Europe asking if I have rebooked my mom's flight since all the Lufthansa flights have been cancelled. I called Expedia and the agent was completely unaware of the cancelled flights and insisted that the flight would go on. In the meantime, I have reached the airline and the airline confirmed that the flight has been officially cancelled more than a day earlier due to a strike. Upon my insistence, the Expedia agent went on Lufthansa's website to confirm the information. Minutes later I was placed on hold for another 40 minutes. The call was disconnected by Expedia while I was on hold. All in all I had to call Expedia five times and the last time I was told that the flight was valid and that my mother should proceed with her travel. Have I trusted Expedia, my 80-year-old mom would've ended up stranded in Frankfurt.
Eventually I called the airline directly, the airline and I was able to rebook the flight within minutes. How was it possible that Expedia's call center and its so-called customer service didn't know about a massive Lufthansa strike that has been prominent in the news already for days? Expedia's own system was showing flights as valid even a day after they were cancelled by the airline. Expedia's gross incompetence and complete lack of customer support makes it perhaps the worst travel booking agency in the world.

Myself, my boyfriend and two other friends booked a trip to Mexico through Expedia. It was a nightmare from the start, but losing our trip and $4000 was the biggest nightmare of all. The original date which we booked happened to not work for my boyfriend due to school (which isn't a reasonable reason for the trip insurance we purchased), so we called and asked about canceling and rebooking on another flight ($250 a person). That alone was a lot of money, as I work full-time and my boyfriend is a student.
I told them that I would have to think about it, little did she tell me that I didn't have long to think about it because in a couple days it went from $250 a person to half once it was 45 days before our trip. So when we decided that we were will to spend the $250 each and called back to rebook, they told me I could do so for $900 a person, trying to fly on another Air Transat flight wasn't a option because they only fly a few times a year out of St. John's NL. So instead of losing $1800 they said if we booked from another airport and got ourselves there we could switch flights for three days earlier than our original flight for a extra $100 a person. Not including the cost of plane tickets from St. John's to Toronto. So we switched our vacation to start out of Toronto and then booked flights with Air Canada the day before to get to Toronto.
Unfortunately every flight on Friday April 22nd was canceled due to zero visibility fog. We needed to be in Toronto for 3 am to check in for our Air Transat flight. So when it was obvious there was no way for us to get there on time I started calling Expedia. Having to talk through them in order to talk to Air Transat when I was upset was making the situation more frustrating. The only options that after paying $4000 that I was given was to get our own flight to Mexico, and then come back on the original booking, or pay a extra $244 a person in order to book a one way ticket to get on the Air Transat flight out of Toronto the next morning to the same resort. We did not want to fly on a different airline and then have to get a cab from the airport to the resort in Mexico. We also did not have another $500 to lose a day and then possibly not be able to get to Toronto the next day either.
They told me that because it was 24 hours before our trip it was nonrefundable so they were doing me a favor even giving me any options. We paid you $4000 for a vacation we weren't getting because of weather. The supervisor of Expedia offered me a $200 travel voucher "out of goodwill." I would never book through them again. Nor would I fly with Air Transat ever again.
Air Canada went out of their way to try and do everything for us because our flight was cancelled. She tried everything to get us to Toronto so we wouldn't miss our flight. She was also mind blown that Air Transat wouldn't put us on the flight on Sunday. Then when there was no flight that would get us for our Air Transat flight she totally refunded the money we had paid for the flights with them.
I work hard for my money, but having to save for this trip and booking time off of work made this vacation very important to us. Losing $4000 (not including costs of items for the trip) and not getting a vacation, and having to go back to work on Monday instead of being on a beach in Mexico was definitely not what I paid for. Expedia and Air Transat showed the worst customer service I've ever experienced and I want other people to know what happened to us so it doesn't happen to other people.

I booked the extra cost exit row for both legs of my flights as I am tall when I first booked a couple months ahead of my travel dates. But when I went to check in, I could not book in online as I apparently had not paid for the seats. So in calling the WestJet agent we were told that our agent, the normally competent Expedia, had "forgotten" to charge us for the seats. I did a little digging and their contract clearly states that Expedia has not any control over the extra charges airlines charge for things like seats. Wish they had told me in bigger print, so I could have used a different service. So the WestJet agent had to cancel our booked extra cost seats, so we could check in online. I guess I will not be using Expedia again in the future unless they grow up and make it possible to pay for my extra charge seats, like other travel agents do.

I have yet another example of Expedia's abysmal customer service. On Saturday 2 April I made a booking through Expedia for return flights with Ryanair from London to Malta for my family and I. I received a travel confirmation from Expedia in relation to those flights on the same day. Shortly thereafter, I received an e-mail from Ryanair confirming our return flights from Malta to London. However, I didn't receive any e-mail from Ryanair in respect of our outbound flights. Accordingly later in the day on 2 April I called Expedia to find out whether there was a problem with our outbound flights and was told that it sometimes takes a while for the ticketing to be confirmed and that I should wait for 24 hours before getting back in touch.
As I had still not received a confirmation from Ryanair, on Sunday 3 April, I called up Expedia again to speak with a representative. After several frustrating calls, I was told to wait for a further 48 hours to see if Ryanair confirmed our outbound flights and, if no such confirmation had been received, I should make my own booking with Ryanair. When I expressed concern about waiting for this period and the impact that this might have on the price (and availability), I was told that Expedia would compensate me (within 7 days) for any increased cost, as well as the additional credit card booking charges. I had been led to believe that this process would be straightforward and efficient. I also asked why Expedia couldn't go ahead and action the original booking, but the Expedia representative was unable to provide any sensible explanation.
As I had still received nothing from Ryanair by the afternoon of Monday 4 April, I decided to go ahead and make a booking with Ryanair direct. However, given the intervening period of time since my original booking through Expedia, the cost of those flights had increased significantly. Given the increase in cost, I sent an e-mail to Expedia on 4 April, with a copy of the travel confirmation that I received from Ryanair in respect of our outbound flights, requesting compensation on account of the increased cost of our flights (and a refund of the £20 credit card fee that I had been charged at the outset by Expedia that I had not been advised of).
Later in the day on 4 April, I received an e-mail from an Expedia representative (called Alam) confirming the reservation of our outbound and return flights. This e-mail dishonestly suggested that our outbound flights had been successfully booked through Expedia as per the original Expedia travel itinerary. This was categorically not the case.
On 7 April, I received an e-mail from another Expedia representative (called Dipenti) indicating that the claim in my e-mail of 4 April could not be processed as the e-mail from Ryanair was not considered sufficient proof on account of the fact that it is editable. As explained to Dipenti in response, I had received no other communication from Ryanair in relation to our outbound flights. Accordingly I re-sent this e-mail as an attachment, together with a pdf copy of my credit card statement showing the payment made by me on 4 April direct to Ryanair. Later in the day on 7 April, I received an e-mail from yet another Expedia representative (called Deepti) saying that two attempts had been made to call me to discuss my claim. This was an outright lie (my mobile phone was with me throughout the day).
On 10 April I received an encouraging email (from Dipenti) indicating that my refund would be processed within 5-7 days. However, despite several further emails to Expedia asking after the whereabouts of the refund, no refund has been forthcoming. I am presently dealing with, you've guessed it, another Expedia representative - Hemant. I have no hope of getting my compensation any time soon and am therefore considering making a legal claim against Expedia through the small claims court. My opinion is that Expedia does everything they can to frustrate customers' attempts to obtain compensation/refunds. Interestingly, the Expedia representative that I spoke with on 3 April said that the problem that I have experienced occurs in "only" one in twenty bookings. Given this terrible statistic, my experience (and those of others) should serve as warning of Expedia's poor service and utter disinterest in customer satisfaction!

Why do I have to pay to get a credit? I asked why they can't just cancel our departure flight and they blamed it on the airline saying that is their policy.
We called the airline direct who was very nice and accommodating and they said if Expedia contacts them they can cancel our departure flight and leave our return flight. We called Expedia 4 times explaining this and they played the part as they would indeed do this for us however anytime time we were close to succeeding they hung up on us even AFTER giving them a number to call if we are disconnected (they never called back when disconnected). I 100% believe with no doubt that when they are feeling pressure they just hang up so they don't have to deal with you. Everything costs money with them and they don't care to try to help.

Moreover, I even told the customer service agent that I still needed a reservation for Sanford, such that they still would be breaking even at best. To no avail, I was still thrown under the bus.

After reading the numerous complaints about Expedia, I'm not sure how they stay in business. My problem is way too long to type here, but in a nutshell, there was a price difference of $1,000 from website to customer service rep. I ended booking through the rep and was told two completely different things. First, the price was wrong, then I asked if transportation was included in my fee and the girl assured me it was. After a few days and the extra $1,000 charge, I called Expedia to get a breakdown of the fees, and the rep told me he would have to transfer me to a supervisory (just an F.Y.I., these reps are very nice and did what they could do), I was told there was something wrong with the special I should have got and that was why I had to talk to a supervisor.
Anyway, an even longer story short, I was told numerous times I would need to talk to corporate after they listened to the recording of that day. Not once did corporate call me back and when I finally got to speak to corporate, they told me the documentation (not recording) agreed with what I was charged, then I asked about the transportation which was not actually included, and she told me they didn't have any documentation to prove this.
So after not getting anywhere with this conversation I decided to write letters to the four top executives at Expedia, within three days I received a call from a Jammal ** in the executive resolution department stating they were working on it and would have an answer to me in three business days. Six weeks later, I'm still waiting. So I tried an instant message on Facebook, they contacted me and said if I don't hear back from Jammal by the end of the day to let them know, well that was about three weeks ago, nothing again.
So in the meantime, I sent follow-up letters to the executives again, this time, they must have my address posted up and that I'm some crazy person, all of the letters were returned unopened, return to sender. Weird, they were there three weeks prior, all the execs just got up and moved apparently. My last try on social media was Twitter, got a reply two days ago asking me if anyone has responded, again I said no, and again I sit and wait and wonder how they stay in business.

I tried to book a holiday to New York and received no confirmation email and was kicked out the website when entering payment details. Telephoned Expedia to be told no bookings. Proceeded again and tried booking again. On checking my online banking 2 payments had been taken as the original holiday had been booked and checking it appears I had input an incorrect digit on my email address. Contacted Expedia immediately only go be told non refundable airline tickets!
Took 7 days to investigate and be told my mud take so no refund. Sent further emails and made extremely costly phone calls and kept being promised response within 24/36 when in fact each time it took over 7 days. I contacted the airline myself who informed me that the Tucker's were non refundable but were transferable as long as used within a year. Expedia did not have me this choice and again told me their policy Is non refundable and it was not their mistake but mine for entering an incorrect email address. I would like to point out that the email address was non existent and they would have received a non deliverable message! The customer service I have received is utterly disgraceful and never in my life have I felt so upset and have been very ill regarding this matter whereby I have list a substantial amount of money that we work very hard to earn!!

On February 5, 2016 I booked a trip from Atlanta, GA to Cancun, Mexico from April 11, 2016 through April 14, 2016 through Expedia. Twelve hours before my flight was scheduled to depart from Atlanta, Spirit Airlines sent me an email informing me that my flight was canceled. I called them and they only offered me a flight which would get me to Cancun the following day. Since that was unacceptable I called Expedia and asked if they could find me an alternate flight since I booked the trip through them.
Their customer service was terrible and kept putting me on hold, then ultimately hanging up on me. After 3 hours of trying to get their help with no success I decided to cancel the trip. I received a refund from Spirit Airlines but haven't gotten anywhere with Expedia regarding the hotel portion of the refund. They keep telling me that I did not give proper notice to qualify for a refund. I finally got through to a manager named Daphne on Sunday but still have not received my refund. I feel like they stole my vacation and my money. I plan to use every resource known to man to share my terrible experience with Expedia.

I booked a flight in February to depart in April and return a week later. I also booked hotels. I noticed that the return flights and hotel were showing on my itinerary when I checked at the beginning of March, but could not see a departing flight. I called customer service and after 6 hours of holds, back and forth they confirmed that they had charged my credit card but had not been able to get me on the flight that I had booked through them. They did not contact me, I contacted them because of the missing itinerary. They then informed me that the flight costs had gone up and that I would need to pay the difference to get on the same flight. I spoke with a supervisor and they agreed to reimburse the difference, but I had to pay it up front to get a booking. I did and they reimbursed the difference, however, once again they did not actually put me on a departing flight.
I have now spent a total of 11 hours on the phone and at least 2 hours on email requests and responses and still do not have a confirmed departing flight a week out from my flight. They did however fully charge me for the departing flight. I have also just returned from a trip where I had booked a hotel through Expedia and my email said I did not need to reconfirm. I happened to choose to reconfirm with the hotel because I was arriving late. The hotel told me they were full and that Expedia cancelled the booking because they were full. It would have been nice for Expedia to contact me instead of me having to contact them in both these situations. Additionally, although I had paid them, they made it my problem to find another hotel (choosing to reimburse me for hotel and let me deal with finding my own place in Atlanta during spring break at 9 p.m. at night). Do not book with them. They are not cheaper. They have cost me hours of time.

I recently booked a car rental through Expedia to pick up a car at Manchester airport in the UK. We had been asked by Expedia to pay $110 up front in car insurance, but when we picked up the car, it was apparent that we were being charged the insurance again. The rental company said they have this problem all the time with Expedia's insurance not being recognized. The result was an extra $140 which I have been trying to get refunded. But this is only the beginning. Today, I have spent four and a half hours on the phone trying to get this resolved. I spoke with 3 reps, the final one being a Tier 3, which I guess is someone who has the ability to make executive decisions. They agreed they should refund the previous insurance payment - but they had no record of the paperwork so asked me to email it, which I did.
We then proceeded to be on hold for a further hour waiting for their email address to 'receive' my email with attachments. They gave me no less than 4 email addresses to try. It ended with the rep saying that their incoming email takes so long to arrive - often more than 2 hours - that it would be best if I called back tomorrow. I could have cried. All that time on the phone and still no physical results. Meanwhile, I have resolved to never use Expedia again, which is a shame, since I have been using them for years. I just cancelled a future booking with them as a mini-protest. I believe they have been going downhill lately and certainly based on this round of customer service, I would never recommend them.

During that time I asked on multiple occasions if she could call me back when she had made the change and I was told "no - you will have to start from scratch if you hang up". At the 1 hour, 45 minute mark I asked to speak to a supervisor. The agent told me that a supervisor would tell me the same thing. I said that I would still like to speak with one so that they could explain why this change required such a long time to make. She put me on hold for another 25 minutes!

I recently made an accidental double-booking of a hotel overseas. Upon realizing my mistake, I called Expedia and spoke with one rep who assured me she would call the hotel for me to cancel the second reservation. The hotel did not have anyone who spoke English at the front desk, but the rep told me that the hotel would have an English-speaker on shift in a few hours and promised me that she would have someone call the front desk later that day and then get back to me via email. No email.
I called again the next day, and spoke with another representative. He said he couldn't do anything yet and to call back in several hours because this was an issue under the "Expedia department of reservations" and they weren't open yet. So I did just that, and called back. Eventually, I managed to connect with a representative in the department of reservations who was able to successfully cancel my reservation, with a full refund. The refund was promised the next day, but did not show up in my account until nearly a week later (though this may have been the hotel's issue, not Expedia's). So, in conclusion: yes, they were effective and eventually procured my desired result. But it was a hassle going through their chain of command.

I tried to find an address for complaints and problems, but I don't find it listed on their site. I have been a consistent user of Expedia and Expedia-aarp sites for many years. I had been moderately satisfied with the service until my most recent experience. I live and work in Europe, and I travel for business frequently. I had booked a Novum property in Berlin on their affiliated Expedia-aarp site. The room information offered several options, pay now, pay later and FREE CANCELLATION. I selected a room from July 12-16 for my upcoming trip under FREE CANCELLATION since I knew that my schedule for business might change.
It did, and imagine my surprise when I tried to cancel online only to find that I'm being charged 90% of the room fee for 4 nights when I'm well in advance of the cancellation date. I find this practice where the small print holds all the details quite deceptive, and as a result I will avoid EXPEDIA sites in the future. Two of their agents with whom I spoke did a very good job trying to get the hotel property to waive the cancellation fee ($219.00 USD), but the hotel refused. I am most unhappy with Expedia, and I will post on social media my situation so that other business clients aren't duped by this false claim of FREE CANCELLATION.

I was very specific and repeated several times throughout the call that I did not want to make any changes to my returning flight that was set for April 24th. Unfortunately, Expedia's telephone agent made a mistake and as he changed my departing flight he CANCELLED my returning flight. (After I had paid for an upgraded seat in Virgin America, which I now have lost). He was not able to fix the issue so I had to wait for TWO hours on the phone while he communicated to the support team.
Then, I got to speak to a supervisor, who very honestly explained the situation and took responsibility for the agent's mistake. He gave me a case number **. However, he committed to calling me in two hours (meaning at 11:00 p.m. NY time last night) or writing an e-mail if he couldn't reach me on the phone, which he didn't. I woke up this morning with no solution to the situation.
In a nutshell, I waited two hours on the phone (which was very upsetting), I spoke to a supervisor who promised a solution in a two hour time frame and it's the next day and still no solution or no communication from anybody. I have to reach out to Expedia for them solve their mistake instead of them reaching out to me. I have to have the uncertainty of what will happen to the money I paid for my TWO WAY ticket or even the uncertainty of my trip because nobody from Expedia is giving me a solution. I am attaching the receipt but this receipt is incorrect. It has the value of the one way ticket that I have now after their mistake and not the value of the two way ticket that I actually paid, which was evidently higher.

My last two bookings with Expedia, have not been good at all. The first when I booked a flight from Kingston, Jamaica to Brisbane Australia with Expedia i.e., was told I would not see my luggage until I arrive in Brisbane! I had to collect at Gatwick to transfer to Heathrow airport, and in Sydney to check-in to Brisbane... Not very happy considering I was travelling alone with 5 suitcases. I was told that I could check my luggage in online, which is so not true... you can only do this if you book directly with the airline.
Have just booked a flight with Expedia.com to book a holiday package from Brisbane to Fiji. Two days after booking there had been a flood. Contacted Expedia, who contacted the Hotel, to be told that the hotel is ok, but you would not be able to reach as the road from the airport to the Hotel is flooded, so Hotel advised to cancel and refunded the money. But when it came to my flight with virgin, they said they would not refund but would give a credit. So I suggested another destination, in which there was nearly a $300 fee on both tickets to reroute! Example package to Bali hotel and flight $800 per person advertised on their site. So when I asked if I could use my flight for this package as it was still virgin - they said costs $1,200 each for the flight and $500 for the hotel... but I said the package is cheaper at $800. Their response was, "But you're not getting the package, as we are using your credited tickets."
So tell me... if I purchase a holiday package from Expedia, I am looking at a package... they should go together. The Hotel was good enough to refund as there was no way I could get there despite there being nothing wrong with the Hotel. The Airline could also get me to Fiji, but the package did not include a boat, so there was a missing link, as I was not prepared to fly to Fiji to stay at the airport for 3 nights. So I should be entitled to another package at the same cost with no penalty. So now there is a problem, the so called package deal becomes two separate entities, Expedia passes the buck - we are just the middle man, but they are happy to collect your money. Do not use this company.

Booked flights to Perth Oz in January 16 for travel dates in Sept 16. The return flights through Expedia were £968 each - flying with Emirates. On the Expedia website it stated non-refundable and non-transferable. Checked with Google difference with non-transferable and non-changeable. Non transferable was can't change names on tickets and non-changeable was can't change dates. Our trip I'd to see our son who has emigrated to Oz. We then received a call from son confirming he and wife are pregnant and the due date was a week after we were due to travel back to UK. As you can imagine a change in dates was needed and as it is well over 6 months off.
This is where the heartache has started. Contacted Expedia who confirmed they do not make any charges for changes and this is on their website. The new dates we wanted were in November now 9 months off. Expedia are selling these tickets (exactly same flights just 6 weeks later) for £649. They could have been more a chance we were taking. Emirates direct are selling the same tickets for £667. When I called to change the dates I was quoted £200 each ticket admin charge to change the date and then the price of the new ticket was £1007 each - that's £1207 each. I have tried to talk and message Emirates as Expedia are saying it's not them and Emirates will not even discuss or confirm they are making these charges as my tickets were bought from Emirates.
They will however happily take money from me for upgrades or any extra baggage allowance I want! There was nothing on the website for both companies that I may be charged an increase in flight price or that I have already a ticket therefore am not eligible for the first time customer price of £667 or £649. I get an admin charge but the rest is an outrage. By the way the supervisor from Expedia call center advised me this was how Emirates make their money and ABTA confirmed they would not allow this to occur with any company registered with them. Expedia is not with ABTA - never saw that one spotted the ATOL cert. Be careful using these 2 companies. I for one will never use them again and it has already impacted on what should be a lovely time waiting to see my first grandchild later this year.

This is to confirm that my stay at the Beach Walk hotel in Florida was horrible, unacceptable, beyond level of advertised 4 star Hotel and below are the reasons I had to change hotels after 2nd night. I complained to front desk on the first day of the stay about my experiences. They advised me to contact Expedia, who was the provider of the reservation. I expressed my complaints to Expedia and had asked them to relocate me to another hotel nearby. Two days in a row (on 12/29/2015 and 12/30/2015) I spoke to Expedia representatives, who assured that they will contact me within 24 hours. No response were made by Expedia, so I was forced to rebook another hotel on my own. Both of the conversations were recorded and upon request I can provide my conversations with Expedia.
When I arrived home, I contacted Expedia again and was issued a credit for unused nights in the amount of $1770.45. Few months later this credit was reversed for unknown to me reasons. I can not be a hostage of the situation and be trapped in the position, where I book a 4 star hotel with serious room and service issues, who just rob people by using "no cancellation" policy. On the first day I spoke to front desk and asked what the cancellation policy was. I was told that I should give them 24 hours notice, which I did and stayed there for 2nd night beyond my wishes. The rest they advised me to settle with 3rd party provider. Expedia DOES NOT respond to my inquiries, nor calls me back. Once Expedia issued the credit, I received an e-mail from them stating that the case has been closed.
So why, 3 months later it's been reopened again? I called again, and as before, did not get respond from Expedia. If hotel does not address these problems, Expedia should protect the customer since they were the agents, who advertised this Hotel as 4 star Hotel. They are in the power to charge back the hotel for inadequate service or maybe they are in conspiracy with the Hotel and simply do not want to lose their commission on the deal? If this case is not resolved in a civil manner, it will be brought to the Attention of the Federal Trade Commission, as well as Better Business Bureau and heavily noticed in social media. Below is the list of the issues with hotel:
Dirty rooms, filthy windows, A/C unit in room covered with inches of dust. Inoperable safe, nonworking TV - had to sleep with TV ON since remote did not work and I did not want to tamper with equipment at night. Shower room without rubber mats and door handle (broken handle was just laying inside the vanity cabinet), making it hazardous for anyone who takes showers in the cabin. Shower head not installed properly, exposing the hole in the wall. NO shelvings in shower cabin, making it impossible to use soap without bending down on the slippery floor of the cabin.
No towels on the second day, had to ask several times and wait for 5 hours for them. Sheets on beds were dirty and not properly made. Sticky refrigerator inside. No garbage cans and mirrors in the room, only in bathroom. Upon discharging from the hotel the lines of dissatisfied customers were so long, it took us over an hour to check out. I believe all these facts, which I prove by attached pictures, make this cancellation reasonable, valid and refundable beyond the "cancellation policy".

On 13 March 2016, I booked a flight Liverpool-Barcelona and hotel package by telephone. I did this because I wanted to be absolutely sure there would be no mistakes. My travelling companion is a pensioner with health issues so I wanted to be sure we were in the city centre. I made this clear over the phone to the agent who dealt with my booking and even asked him to double check that we would be in the centre at the end of the call. He reaffirmed that we were central. It was only when we got into a taxi late this evening at the airport that we found we were actually staying in an industrial estate more than 20 km outside the city. The taxi fare alone cost 80 Euros. I just rang and spoke to someone called Amar. He put me on hold for so long I hung up.

I called Expedia over 1 week ago asking to have them correct 1 letter that was misspelled in my middle name. I was told it would be corrected. I called several more times telling them it had not been changed. I was told again it would be corrected. Here we are less than 14 hours until depart and it's still the same. I've been on the phone for over 5 hours going back and forth with them and finally they tell me that the airline we are flying with can change it for $25.00 and I tell them why wasn't I told this over a week ago?
Anyways I tell them fine and give them cc # and they tell me all 3 cards are declined! REALLY! My husband's had no limit on cards. Anyways, we call cards and they tell my husband it's on Expedia's end. I tell Expedia they are doing something wrong on their end. So here we are almost 6 hours later and they tell me they are going to try something different but I'm still on hold. SMH... SMH... Whomever does their training needs to be retrained also!!!

My fiance and I were booking a trip to Key West. We made our flight reservations through Expedia online on March 9th, 2016 because it was showing them $40 cheaper than direct airline websites. It also stated that we could change the flight and get full refund within 24 hours. My fiance had a last-minute work meeting come up so we had to cancel it on March 9th and instead booked one to leave in a couple of days. We booked our next flight on March 10th.
After we returned from our trip on May 23rd, I got online and noticed we still had not received our refund from the first booking on March 9th to my credit card. I called Expedia immediately on the 23rd and the manager apologized and said we would be getting it refunded from 5-7 days. Now it is April 2nd and I checked my account again and it still hasn't been refunded. So I've called them up again and been passed around to several different people and have been on the phone for 2 hours. They said there was a delay in the payment, but they will submit it again and we should be seeing it within 5 business days. I also said my bill to my credit card is due on April 4th, so now it will not be paid on time. They said they are issuing a $100 coupon to go towards another Expedia booking, but it can only be put towards a hotel or package. What a mess this all was. I wouldn't book anything with them again.

A Nightmare!!! Waking up in a cold sweat. I admit that I double booked a flight on Expedia so I called to cancel one of the duplicate flights. No big deal. I even purchased cancellation insurance with the round trip flight. I expected a 10 minute phone call for Expedia to issue a credit and cancel the extra flight. But NO. It was 5 Hours of hold time spread over two days. Their prices are great but their customer service is a minus ten. Very nice people but completely incompetent. Pray you have no problems when you book because if you do, say goodbye to your weekend.

I have purchased advertising from HomeAway.com for many years but am at my wits end with the current changes they are undergoing since the Expedia 2015 purchase. I rely on this ad, which I pay hundreds of dollars for, to generate the income that keeps my beach house afloat. So now this money-hungry, greedy outfit decides they will start charging folks who are interested in my property a hefty service fee and block my contact information so renters either pay up or pass me by... and it seems they are passing by. Of course HomeAway says it's my fault that pay-for-service is the industry standard and I need to educate renters of what wonderful perks they get for this fee...
However, I don't hear from renters anymore! I have visited my own listing incognito and have found Expedia now tags each time I visit and drops pop-ups for Expedia, Priceline, etc. on my computer for discount hotels in the area of my rental property! Heavens! How can this be legal? I feel like they have created a monopoly and are going to damage this industry.

For anyone who wish to place an order with expedia.ca, especially if you buy plane tickets, be cautious with your credit card since they are freezing twice the amount for a certain time; I was told this could take up to 5 days. Nobody will warn you on this eventuality when you buy. Moreover, I found unacceptable the way their employees are handling this situation; they are very rude, some of them barely speaking one of the current languages, and even yelling at you.

I purchased a package to Cabo San Lucas, but had to cancel for half the people who were going. I called well in advance of the trip, and was told everything would be handled. I received a credit voucher for the flight that same day. I NEVER saw anything about the hotel cancellation. When we got to the hotel, they told me they never received a cancellation from Expedia. I called as soon as I got home and have been having daily run-arounds ever since. Apparently the room was never cancelled and they have no record of it being cancelled. I was told this morning that they had a call from me on March 19. I called and have an email response from them on the 18th. When I called back later, all the notes and phone logs from 3/10 to 3/29 were no longer there. Beware! Double check everything!!!

On March 5th 2016 around 9:30 pm my fiance and I decided to book a room thru Expedia at the Tux Creek Inn for that night. However when we got the itinerary it said check in is no later than 6 pm and to call if we were checking in late. So I called and no one answered. I then called Expedia to refund my money bc we weren't sure about check in and no one answered. I think that is a simple request. I called Expedia over 5 times. They said they needed to get in touch with the hotel. Finally today I get an email from Expedia saying that the Tux Creek Inn denied my request for my refund. I've already filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau last week for Expedia. I guess I'm gonna have to file a complaint for the hotel to the BBB. My next step is to file a complaint through the federal trade commission. It's not right that my hard working money was just taken from me.

My Expedia account confirmed my hotel cancellation but I was charged for a no show by the hotel for $84.00. When I spoke to Expedia TAAP support I was told that the hotel was contacted and my money refunded. This never happened. I cannot get the charge off my credit card. Expedia support not responding for further questions. Contacting Expedia for a reservation is quick. Contacting with a problem has me on hold, listening to loud music for 45 minutes, at least and then they hang up on you. Expedia cannot be counted on for backing up their reservations.

I recently booked hotels through Expedia.com by talking to a representative because I had to have a handicapped accessible room for each hotel/night (6 reservations total). This rep promised me every room was handicap accessible, so I paid Expedia for the whole trip then and there on the phone. We drove 12 hours to get to the first hotel and the reservation was wrong, so I had to go to another hotel chain down the road to get a place to stay at 4:30 in the morning, out of my own pocket. I had a meltdown over the phone, after 3 hours of getting the runaround or being hung up on because each representative I spoke to did not or would not help me.
Long story short, 3 out of the 6 reservations was wrong, I ended up spending more on hotel rooms than originally planned, and am so thoroughly disgusted with Expedia that I want everyone to beware of their incompetency. They did refund 2 of the prepaid rooms, but when I called about the 3rd wrong reservation, someone named "Heba" promised she refunded my money. After waiting more than a week I didn't see it in my bank account. I just called back, again, and according to "Gia" there was no refund processed, and the previous inept representative, Heba, had not even documented the conversation. I will NEVER NEVER NEVER use Expedia.com again, and I want everyone to beware of their representatives. Be wise, and don't trust them. My handicap friend, who cannot walk and is in a wheelchair, was only able to take 1 shower in 7 days.

I've been using them for years and years primarily for one stop shopping for hotels. Never had a problem until this year. I usually select the "pay later" or "pay at hotel" option rather than prepaying for my room as my plans often change and it isn't worth hassle or lost money by paying in advance when they do. Lately, I've made my bookings as always, received the usual confirmation from Expedia, only to find that days later, my reservation was cancelled with no notice (I just happened to check). When I called Expedia, their answer to me was that "the hotel simply prioritizes prepaid guests over others."
In other words, they can't tell me why the reservation was cancelled and the confirmations are meaningless. This didn't make sense to me as I've never had a hotel cancel me or a cancellation occur without notice or confirmation, irrespective of who initiated the cancellation. So I started calling these hotels - 3 separate ones - and each was horrified. This is not a hotel's customary practice but rather, Expedia's. Lesson learned. Unless you get a bang up rate through Expedia and your plans aren't going to change, book directly with the hotel.

I recently booked a flight and hotel package to an all-inclusive resort in Cancun as a birthday gift to my fiancee. When we arrived to check in, the hotel receptionist asked me if I was interested in purchasing the all-inclusive option. Perplexed, I informed him we had purchased the all-inclusive package. He apologized and informed me that was not what my reservation stated. I immediately turned to my iPhone and pulled up my itinerary. The itinerary confirmed our stay but did not specify one way or the other. The reception agent then asked me to look for my confirmation letter that I received after purchase. The confirmation letter did indeed state room only when you scroll down. Shocked I said "I don't understand how I could have overlooked this!" The hotel receptionist was immediately apologetic and told me "don't feel bad this happens all the time."
He continued to empathize with our situation and also urged me to call Expedia free of charge at the concierge the next day to clear things up. Now at this point I'm feeling this is completely my fault but that feeling would change after asking questions during the next 24 hours. I'm not going to name any roles or names and I'll explain why in a moment. However 3 different employees all said essentially the same things, "This happens almost every day. Often multiple times a day guests are confused by the website. It's out of our hands because you booked through Expedia. All you can do is call Expedia and sometimes they will give it to you." They also warned me it would take a long time on the phone, which proved to be true. So the next day I went to the concierge and called Expedia customer service. I'll spare the details of the conversation as it was predominantly lip service and a complete waste of my time.
The call was nearly 2 hours and I was on hold the majority of the time as (I was told) the issue was being reviewed and escalated through 2 tiers of management. During this 2 hour period, my fiancee was waiting for me in the lobby and observed 3 separate parties checking in HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM (booked through Expedia). When I finally spoke to the senior supervisor I again explained (for the 3rd time), "there is clearly a problem with how you are advertising this hotel package if so many customers are under the impression they have purchased the all-inclusive upon their arrival." And when I told them some of the hotel staff had expressed it was a common occurrence, they emphatically denied it was true. In fact, rather than assuring me they would look into it or offering any kind of action on their part, they were only interested in finding out which employees gave me that information.
I told them the hotel staff was very cordial and simply trying to calm the situation and mitigate what is obviously a common problem. I went on to tell her about the 3 parties my fiancee observed having the same issue while checking in just in the amount time we have been on the phone. With that, the conversation ended abruptly. She became defensive and told me there was nothing she could do for me. In my opinion the details of what you are purchasing should be clear. Not hidden in the fine print and not misleading. I'm not claiming that Expedia did anything fraudulent. I'm only saying if customers are continually confused by what you are advertising, there is a problem. My chief complaint is how it was handled. They denied the problem existed in any way which is clearly untrue and more disturbing offered no solution.
They were only interested in which hotel employees were leaking that information. I can only assume to put a stop to it and ensure they were reprimanded. To me this is terrible business practice. I would like to point out I did a query on the same hotel today and to Expedia's credit they have since changed the ad so it is now very clear. Too little too late for me and my checkbook unfortunately. I refused to let this ruin my fiancee's birthday gift and coughed up close to an additional $1000 for the all-inclusive. I will be more cautious moving forward. I will also be hesitant to use Expedia anymore for my travel needs because of this experience.

I tried to make flight and car rental reservations on Expedia. They had a computer system outage and my booking was not successful. I also checked my account on their website multiple times and confirmed that it hadn't been reserved. I decided to book by another method. Even though their email and website showed that the reservation was not made, they charged me for the flight and car rental. I spent over 3 hours on the phone with their "customer service" on Easter. They were not able to provide the 6 character record locator for the flight. I wouldn't have been able to check in for my flight.
The customer service supervisor would not speak to me, the customer. Any customer service supervisor that refuses to speak to the customer is not executing the central mission of a customer service department. In addition, their computer system wasn't working and they couldn't receive the documentation that showed their error. Yet, they expected me to show them their email! I was treated badly, given no respect and frustrated. I'd like to tell EVERYONE about this experience with the hope that others will not have to deal with this type of treatment.

Expedia makes it so easy to book your travel plans until you actually need to speak with an actual person. "Your reservation is confirmed. No need to call to reconfirm" is what my Expedia email read. I am not that traveler so I called to reconfirm the room. During my six-hour drive to my destination, the same date of arrival, I called Expedia to let them know that I would be arriving late. I was placed on hold for 25 minutes as Expedia could not find my hotel booking despite my confirmation code and my telephone conversations leading up to my travel day. Expedia advised that they never booked a room for me. The customer service reps had very heavy accents making it difficult to understand. I learned that Expedia customer service is based in India. I spoke with 5 different reps, all of who asked for a phone number where I could be reached if we were disconnected. I spoke with 5 because of disconnected lines.
Most frustrating was I received NO call backs. I had to call back every time, working through a relocation department, a "blue" team who said that they would handle my situation and call me back if our lines would disconnect. There was no rooms to be had as it was Spring Training in Arizona and the city was at full capacity. I had my family in tow with nowhere to sleep. Given my late start, I had to find a room on my own in the middle of the night. I will never use Expedia again and will advise others to find another way to book travel. They don't care once they book the travel. I was left high and dry having to pay premium rate and take a room across town from my event as I had children on board.

I got a reply from them denying my claim for the reason that it didn't meet the criteria that the low price I found was not available to the general Public online, available from an English language website both of which met by CheapOair.
