    I booked a stay in San Diego with Expedia and was completely dissatisfied. The airline was great, my car rental was great; however, the resort was awful. Mission Valley Resort is awful. Its dirty, only 2 towels in the room, old TV (no game system could be hooked up etc), broken furniture. Bedspread was dirty. Housekeeping took over 3 hours to bring towels (after calling 3 times and going to the front desk). WiFi was free but horrible. Carpet is stained. The room smelled very stale. Bathroom had cracks in the floor, no caulking around the tub, shower leaked, door had a hole in it. No mini fridges available. I think you get my drift. The pictures looked amazing but it was pure deception. VERY disappointed.

    After researching trips from NYC to Punta Cana, DR for a few weeks. Finally after doing what I thought was ALL my research I went to Expedia to book the vacation. Expedia quoted me $3,500 for two adults and I child everything included (Airfare, hotel, food, drinks, etc). I clicked continue, entered our names and my DEBIT CARD info. Once I enter EVERYTHING the price of $3500 changed to $7,400!!! Instead of clicking continue (Because I was not going to pay that much) I clicked Cancel! I continued shopping around.

    About 5 minutes later I get a text message from my bank (Chase Bank) informing me that Expedia charged me $1346.00 to my account. I freaked out and was totally confused since the trip was originally $3,500 but changed once I submitted my card info to $7,400. Why would Expedia charge my account when I clicked CANCEL??? I called Customer Service and they are the worse! Was on hold for over 40 mins and was told that the charge was a pre authorized charge!! WTH?? I didn't book with them so why would they PRE AUTHORIZE ANYTHING!!! All story short... I have to wait 14 days for EXPEDIA to put the money bank into my account which means I will have to wait to book my trip!!! NEVER AGAIN WILL I USE EXPEDIA! I was also hung up on twice by customer service for questioning the charge. Stay away from this company! Please Consumer Affairs look into this company.

    I ordered some tickets for my friends from Seattle to Cancun Mexico. We weren't able to do 7 at once so we split the family in half - 4 and 2. I had confirmed the purchased and when I went to book for the other half the rates were changed. We agreed with the price and then we were not able to confirmed so we calls to do by phone. It was challenging because of long hard last Russian last name. He spelled that to me - it was everything right. We confirmed it and then in the morning I received a email - one member had two tickets. For some reason the last name of the father changed to the last name of the grandpa, but the first name were the same. I called first time I got a lady she said: "It is impossible to changed it. We can't do that. Would you like to cancel," and I said: "Nothing is impossible. It's not my mistake - it is your mistake why I have to cancel. I just want you to change to the normal last name of my grandpa."

    Then I called again. I had to wait 25 minutes on change tickets line, and a nice and well educated Lady answer and immediately took action. At last she said: "We can try." Then she connected me with the supervisor or agent **. He did an amazing job. He called the American Airlines and he fixed the problem. Although I was on the phone for 2 hours but I am very glad I was well treated and helped. Moreover, I had to pay 25$ fees which I was not happy about that, but he gave us 50$ back discount the next trip which is very nice. Thank you so much!

    I tried booking 2 separate all inclusive packages. Expedia's web showed a price per booking which we were interested and booked 1 room, however when finishing 2nd booking, the price changed increased 3 times (by over $ 300.00) in the matter of seconds. I tried calling Expedia and resolving it (was on the phone with them for over 3 hours) and customer service in Philippines said "too bad, this is the price" and that they won't change anything. This is wrong - it's giving customer misleading information and selling advertised vacation for much higher price than you see on the screen. I want someone to help. They didn't give me customer dept in US!!!! Thank you.

    I went to the Expedia url page. I was quoted a price in Rps which was very reasonable. I booked the hotel room only to discover that the Rps price was not in Sri Lankan Rps (as I was in Sri Lanka) but in twice as expensive Rps of India. It was a non refundable price but when I called customer service they could not understand the confusion. They were totally unhelpful. Most sites distinguish Indian Rps as INRPS but not Expedia.

    Thought I was checking for availability and the reservation was made. I called within one minute of realizing my mistake and was given the run around. Asked agent to cancel the reservation, which he told me he did, but the refund on my debit card would take two weeks. Told him that was not reasonable and he said he couldn't do anything about it. I asked, politely, to speak to a supervisor and sat on hold for over 10 minutes and then was disconnected. I called my bank and they issued me a credit immediately and since the reservation was canceled, Expedia wouldn't be requesting funds. He did NOT cancel my reservation and I called a week later when I saw on my bank statement that it had been paid. I called Expedia and they confirmed that the reservation had not been cancelled and told me it would be 2 weeks before I could get a refund.

    Now I am three weeks! Agent offered to get a supervisor and he was polite, but told me I spoke to a supervisor in my previous conversation and he was not going to be able to help me unless I called my bank and did a three-way call to expedite the refund. This is all foolishness and unnecessary. I have never dealt with any company like this and will ABSOLUTELY NEVER USE EXPEDIA AGAIN - EVEN IF THEY ARE GIVING TRIPS AWAY. I hate to be lied to and I hate dealing with inept employees. My bank thought this was ridiculous as well. Facebook and Twitter will be my forum regarding Expedia.

    Got round trip flights and hotel through Expedia from GRR to CZM. Last minute flight out cancelled. Expedia didn't care. American Airlines was wonderful enough to get us to Mexico on time without incurring extra hotel fees. Expedia said hotel came with free rental car for one day, breakfast and sub ride. None of that happened. Expedia automatically put us on first class and when we tried to change seating, it would cost $500 more. Still haven't heard from Expedia about anything. They suck.

    Will never use Expedia or their sister companies again. Unless your bookings work without a hitch (including Expedia errors), then be prepared to deal with long phone calls (1-2 hours), multiple "research" journeys by representatives, unfulfilled commitments to correct problems, and in the end no real help. Truth in advertising laws should not allow them to claim a Customer Service department. Book directly with airlines yourself. Expedia has no value added.

    My hotel has sent Expedia an email 3 times (copied me) saying to process the cancellation. The hotel has informed me that Expedia has not forwarded the money $1717.16 to them so Expedia has the money and is refusing to refund it saying they cannot see the e-mails the hotel has sent. I gave Expedia the e-mail address that Expedia requested the hotel use, and the hotel used customerservicetier2.s@expedia.com. I have called 7 times, talked to supervisors 4 times and gotten the same runaround. These people are crooked.

    Dear Expedia, My friend and I booked a flight through Expedia to go from LAX to MLE as a package (2 flight tickets and hotel to Vilu Reef Spa Maldives). First problem: The agent that booked our flight messed up on my name which is suppose to be blank, blank, blank, she entered Blank, blank. HERE ARE THE AGENT'S NAME WHO REPEATEDLY MESSED UP OUR ITINERARY: **, supervisor #1,2,3 and this one that is helping me now. Second problem: The flight on the package WE chose to book was NOT booked properly. This flight was not on the scratch pad that we chose. We wanted to have a lay over in Dubai for 8 hours, NOT COLOMBO FOR 11 HOURS and DUBAI FOR 7 HOURS!

    Third problem: We had to book another flight to get the right flight. Since we paid the trip separately through an agent, THEY DID NOT mention that they booked the flights separately and charged both flights on my friends card. And the other payment was under my card which paid for the reservations for the hotel. So the supervisor mentioned that he refunded our money back, which was a lie because he only refunded my friends visa card and not mine. So he was rushing us to make a payment on a flight BUT he did not reverse the transaction. He said, "I can only hold you for a minute to come up with the payment. Otherwise, you will be charged additional for I have no control of the airfares."

    I had to contact my BANK in order to see if he refunded my money back. They did not refund my money back because it was used for the hotel! Now, on the other hand, my friend booked hers with her debit card, but they did not book my flight. Later after talking for 2 hours on the phone, the holds on the phones are added (I have pictures to prove them). They finally figured out that my friend's card was used for the flight, so they had to book my flight separately.

    Fourth Problem: My name was still messed up after talking to them for 3 hours on the phone. You think it would be fine since they messed up the first booked flight, they would change it to the new flight, but they didn't. My friend gave them the right spelling of my name and unfortunately they messed up two times. So the Agent had to call Emirates regarding changing the names, but their policy would not let them change my correct name. Fifth Problem: Emirates will not change my name because Expedia deliberately sabotaged the spelling of my name. Everything is recorded on Expedia so I don't understand. THEY NEED TO TRAIN THEIR WORKERS!

    I got fed up and told the supervisor to transfer me to someone who knows what they are doing. Mentioned I wanted to speak to someone in corporate. So they transferred me to **. Now they want to VOID the transaction and RE-BOOK this whole flight. While I still don't know if my friend and I are going to be seated together since this is a flight package.

    This is so difficult and frustrating to be booking with so many problems and it's NOT JUST ONE, BUT 5 THINGS that were wrong. I have traveled and booked with Expedia multiple times and this is the first time that they are VERY DISAPPOINTING. I am a member of EXPEDIA REWARDS. Expedia workers did not even bother to help at first, had to go through so many channels to figure things out. I am so disappointed. They did not even give us anything to ease this transaction. We booked at 12 am and did not finish correcting the problem until 08:09 PM today. No incentive for messing up people's flights and vacations. THIS SERVICE IS THE WORST.

    Book a room through Expedia for a hotel in Lansing KS on 26 Mar. My plans changed and tried to change reservation on 27 Mar. To make the change I first called the hotel in Lansing and they didn't have an issue with the change in my reservation. But hotel told me my "contract" for the room was with Expedia and not with the hotel. So I called Expedia to make the change and Expedia told me they would have to charge me over $100 dollars to make the change. Expedia told me that the charge was due to THE HOTEL'S policy. I called the hotel back and they denied having such a policy. Another issue with CS is that both Expedia reps had very heavy foreign accents and they spoke so fast that they were not understandable. I asked to speak to both of their supervisors but after waiting for a supervisor both times...the phone line/call went dead.

    Yes Expedia is lying just to get you to finalize the transaction. Before finalizing the purchase, I was offered the chance to select my seat. As soon as the sale was completed, my seat number disappeared from the confirmation page but also was not included on the confirmation email I received afterwards. It simply said "confirm with airline". I called American Airlines who said that since I purchased the ticket through Expedia, I should be talking to them because they're the ones who promised that seat number.

    After being on the phone with Expedia for more than an hour and half and talking to two people including a supervisor, whom I had hard time understanding because of heavy accent, I was told that there's nothing they can do for me. I have to wait until boarding time and check at the counter. Overall, very crappy service. The WORST I've ever experienced.

    I was very excited to book a trip for my family for a week in June when I found a conflict with my work schedule later and needed to rebook to another date. I purchased the trip insurance and thought, "No big deal, I'll just call them and get the change made." Not that easy or that fast. I've made so many calls, been on hold so many hours and hung up on more than once when I thought - finally - I'm going to get this resolved, to just be disconnected. I tried doing this at work one day but then quickly found that I was going to need several hours (wasted two work hours). I then tried again on the weekend and was on hold over an hour and 45 minutes, to get disconnected and start all over again. That day took...was about 4 hours on the phone with frustration so high that I just requested a trip cancellation to book the trip on another day.

    I then called on the following Sunday (changes or a credit to be applied can't be done online). After 4 hours on hold, again disconnected and sitting right now on my next hour of wait that I decided to write this complaint. Oh and the brief few minutes that I did speak to someone, I found that the prior 4 hours I spent on the phone to cancel did not actually get cancelled and is still active. I work 60 hours a week to spend my Sunday sitting on hold again. and again...and again.

    This has been going on 3 weeks of trying to find time to get this resolved in my spare time. The experience I have had is not something I think anyone would actually believe in the year 2015 when companies are so focused on customer service in resolution. I can't imagine this company being in business long if this is the way they conduct it. I will say, you will get right through if you want to book a new trip. In fact, the sales person doesn't even care that you have an old one existing to shove you right back into the hour and half wait line.

    Expedia lodging expenses exceeded 2 hotels customary rates for March 26 and the Best Western Sonoma Valley Inn, Sonoma CA and March 27 at the Hartford Inn, Davis, CA. With Google search engine, I used Lodging, Sonoma CA and Lodging, Davis CA. With some new technology used by Google and/or Expedia, I was "looked in" and could not access either hotel directly or get phone numbers of these local hotels. I was under the illusion that Expedia represents some of the lowest prices available. That was not the case: I paid $60 more than the daily rate at Best Western and $20 more at the Hartford. Isn't interesting that both hotels had my rate blacked out.

    I know of no publicity alerting consumers as to this manipulative practice of denying or making it more difficult to bypass Expedia's lock. Expedia has charged higher prices than the hotels and pocketing the extra. I consider this egregious and unethical. What is the best Federal and State Agencies for me to carry forward my complaint? I will not use Expedia again. When asked, I will tell my friends about my negative experience.

    Expedia surprises with non-cancellation notice, then makes it very hard to cancel. We made a hotel reservation with expedia.com. There was nothing about non-cancellability. Shortly afterward, we received an e-mail with the confirmation and the notice "This reservation is non-refundable and cannot be cancelled or changed". Sure enough, online it would not allow cancellation. (Of course we did not need to cancel -- we just wanted to cancel in retaliation for the fraud.) Nearly 4 hours later, we were able to obtain the cancellation. A company that plays tricks like that should be subject to law enforcement.

    I booked a flight through Expedia and had the travel insurance for each ticket. After booking, I realized I didn't need the insurance so contacted them immediately by phone but the wait time was over 2 hours and the automated message said "If you are not traveling immediately, please call back in 72 hours." So I contacted them via email to have the insurance removed. I received an auto-response stating someone would get back to me within 24 hours. That didn't happen, so I continued to call to no avail. The wait times were atrocious and the message continue to request customers to call back in 72 hours. When I finally got a hold of someone a few days later, they told me the only way to remove the insurance is if I had cancelled and re-booked the flight within 24 hours.

    It is incredibly frustrating because if I had known that, I would have done it. The travel insurance is only $49 but it was applied to 6 tickets so came to $300. I was shocked by the lack of customer service and responsiveness. It also seems fraudulent to not give customers a short window in which to correct a problem and then not be available by phone or email to address the issue. It's very disappointing and I will not use Expedia again for travel.

    I rented a car through Expedia for a recent trip to Costa Rica; given that I hadn't driven in the country before, I also accepted the "offer" to buy "insurance" through Expedia. When I arrived at the airport (LIR), I was informed that Costa Rica requires that all renters to purchase insurance through their vendor -- no options. You can have additional collision insurance through other carriers but they specifically said that the insurance provided by Expedia was "not valid" in Costa Rica -- although they would honor the insurance provided by my credit card (thanks, Visa Signature). Again, this was for insurance beyond the nationally required, which added $162 to my anticipated $228 rental.

    The rental company (Alamo) said I would have to go back to Expedia to request a refund of the $77 I had paid them. I wrote Expedia "customer service" which said I would need to call their 800 number. After being on hold almost an hour, I finally reached an agent and then a supervisor, both of whom insisted that if I wanted my money back, I would have to provide documentation, snail mailed to a "Las Vegas Operations Center." (What?! I rented through them -- why do they need my itinerary number to be sent to some nameless post box in Las Vegas.) If that's the case, why couldn't they put the address in an email, rather than wasting my time? Why? Because they don't want to refund the money. Pure and simple, this is fraud. And I am not amused.

    We purchased a vacation package (flight + hotel) for our family of 5 in January 2015 for a June trip to London from Expedia. At the same time, we also purchased travel insurance which we always do especially with 3 kids. On Wednesday March 18th, I called Expedia to inquire about what we may have to face financially if we decided to make a change to our travel days since we had never bundled a hotel with our flight before with Expedia. I was connected to an agent I believe somewhere in Asia. Right from the start I made doubly sure and kept emphasizing that I did not want to make any changes but needed information.

    After about an hour of incompetency, misinformation and being put on hold, I wanted to get off the phone and needed to verify that nothing was changed because I just did not trust the service I was receiving. I was put on hold again for about 15 minutes and then the agent came back and said how sorry she was, that she had mistakenly cancelled my hotel reservation (2 bedroom suite) and had tried to get it back but was unsuccessful. I was in a shock. I screamed for her supervisor and demanded that I either get my hotel room back or get all of my monies back which was a total of $9,531.15, including insurance that we had paid at once. Their grand solution to the problem was for me to use my insurance, which I refused to do and still refuse. She went to her supervisor who told her to tell me that I could get my money back minus the insurance. This is where they are morally lacking.

    I have spent countless hours on the phone with Expedia and the pattern is to call and wait about 45 mins. before someone answers the call and then I am passed from agent to agent in Asia, then after a couple of hours of screaming, being connected to an agent in the US who will appear to finally understand that I am the injured party. They verbally take ownership for the error, promise to reinstate my hotel and so far no one has followed through. I am truly shocked at the behavior of this organization and the government needs to investigate them. Their behavior is criminal and they have no regards for the customer nor any morals.

    The London part of the trip is just a portion of our trip as we are also going to Paris and thank God we did not use Expedia for that leg of our trip. They just want the insurance my family purchased for peace of mind to fix the problem that they caused without taking any responsibility. All their calls are supposed to be recorded. All of my conversations with Expedia should be available especially the initial call of March 18th. They are ruining our trip which we have already spent so much on. Expedia needs to be investigated and we will be needing lawyers.

    My husband got acute and potentially lethal (no flights possible for a few months) disease 2 days before we planned to go to vacation. I was glad at least I paid for travel protection - IT IS FRAUD. First - no refund on hotel at all (I booked hotel together with flight with Expedia). Second - they are returning only fare for my husband flight. I wonder what the person who decided that will feel if his partner will enjoy vacation while he or she is home dying alone.

    I have had the worst customer service and experience with Expedia.com with purchasing tickets. I bought a flight ticket and hotel with Expedia and they charged me twice for my flight. I called Expedia. Waited for an hour and told them my problem and the phone disconnected. I then called again. Waited for another hour. Told them what happened to me on my previous call and the person took my phone number just in case we get disconnected. As she was transferring me then phone disconnected from her end again. So I waited for 20 minutes and never got a call again. Then I called again and waited for 1 hour and 20 minutes, the person takes my call back number and was trying to connect me with her supervisor and again their phone disconnected.

    I am super distraught about me being charged twice that will take days to reimbursed. This was the money I was suppose to purchase an additional ticket for my fiance for our honeymoon and now I am at risk because if all tickets are sold out and I can't purchase tickets for my fiance, it'll ruin my trip even more than Expedia has already made it to be. I will never use or recommend using Expedia for anything what so ever. I have never had or dealt with the worst customer service I have ever had in my life. Be advised!!!

    This third party site is a total scam. Do Not, Your Being warned, Do Not Book Through Expedia. Whatever flight they book for you, go and look at the airline policy before you book with Expedia. You talk to people in the Philippines, and your fee for cancellation or changes to your flight may far exceed your flight, which they will tell you is just a lost cause. You think you're doing yourself a favor and going cheaper going through third party. Don't fool yourself. Pay the extra it takes to just go through the airline. Expedia is pointless, they can help take your money, but any changes or cancellation they will refer you straight to the airline anyway.

    I have used Expedia.com to book travel for a number of years. This time, I experienced an error when submitting my transaction for purchase while using the debit visa card. An error message/box popped up indicating that difficulty was experienced processing my transaction, and it told me to refresh the page and try again. I did so three times. I found out that 3 transactions were sent to my bank! I then immediately called my bank and requested that they be cancelled. To be told that the monies had been sent to Expedia and that they would need to return them to me.

    After numerous conversations with Expedia agents, and being provided with the reference number: ** and being told that the monies would be returned in 72 hours and this is not the case. Monies have not been returned. When I contacted Expedia.com to discuss the error and ask that the other transaction/confirmation be cancelled, the representative told me that there wasn't an issue and that the monies were merely on hold. And completely dismissed my explanation regarding the error, and instructed me relax and wait.

    I'm travelling in UK at the moment and this was money, not credit that was taken out of my account, in which I received not documentation and/or acknowledgment of this error. When I asked to speak to someone regarding the system error and for guarantee of a full refund, I was placed on hold to speak to a manager. Many, many minutes later, a recording indicated that another number was created to assist me due to the high volume and the number was listed so that I could call. After about 20 minutes, I was told that the booking was cancelled with full refund as it was within 24 hrs. I called multiple times as I never received confirmation of this cancellation as promised. I am still waiting.

    No one was even returned my first email query, in which their site states that a return email will be sent in 48 hours and 5 days have passed. The entire point of using Expedia.com in the past has been convenience. This was anything but, the worst customer experience and I'm still out my money. I will never use Expedia. I'm writing this post to inform you of their lack of their failure to assume accountability. BUYER BEWARE online customer service doesn't exist. The only saving grace is that I have started an investigation with my Canadian bank, but my time in Europe is still affected.

    Be well aware when using this company and my advice would be do not use at all. Their website is full of errors and makes bookings on dates you do not specify and you are not aware of this until you confirm and pay for other dates only to be sent email confirmations for dates that you previously may have enquired about but then later changed. Their customer service team then completely deny any wrongdoing and refuse to amend their mistakes even if the hotel themselves tell you it is okay to make the change but that they just need a simple email communication from Expedia to confirm. I would award zero stars if the option was available. To make matters worse, the change I needed them to make cost the same amount at the same hotel. Criminals!!!

Yep, the call dropped three times and the four people, even the last guy I spoke to, could not speak English well enough to deal with my query. I was so frustrated and had such little faith in Expedia dealing with my enquiry that I booked with another company and had to swallow the fact that the return leg on my 800 flight was lost.

    Beware. Be very aware that you getting what you think you are getting. Where do I start? Well we are two families with children traveling the Bangkok and wanted to find good priced accommodation in the centre of Bangkok. We searched various hotel booking websites and found Expedia to have some good hotels at reasonable rates.

    We input our information into the search options including wanting a room to fit 2 adults and 2 children. The search came back with the Novotel Bangkok on Siam Square and gave us a good rate for one room. It read as having one queen size bed and underneath said roll away beds were available. Now on most hotel booking websites such as Bookings.com and Trivago you would get a price to match your search parameters. Well not on Expedia! It gives you a price then you go through the payment screen and it's not until you get your confirmation that you find out the room was only for 2 people and if you want your kids to have a room you need to pay around $80AUD extra per night for them.

    This would never happen on Bookings.com or Trivago. When I phoned to complain I got an Indian man who was not very courteous and told me that the room was for 4 if we could fit 4 into one bed but if we want extra beds we have to pay for them. I asked to speak to a manager and then he hung up. I called back and got another Indian man who told me the booking was for two people only and the beds, which cannot be guaranteed by the way, were extra. I told him that the website was misleading and it should not give you a price if it does not meet the search parameters. I asked to speak to a manager and the manager couldn't have been bothered and told the person I had spoken to to tell me that I had to pay for my kids.

    Now I cannot get my money back and am expected to pay an additional $80 times 2 for 4 nights, total of $640 for my two children to have crappy fold away beds that may not even be available. I am so sad and angry that I put my trust in this website. Please please be very careful.

    Ok, so we booked everything through this site, first thing that happened is we get to the airport and none of our seats are together. I have 4 tickets and two small children myself and husband, how is that possible? I manage to ask people if they can please move their seats, and they were kind enough to do so. So the second thing is we get to the hotel and are given a filthy smelly moldy room. No one at the hotel was helpful, I call expedia when I get home and I get hung up on and on hold for hours. I write letter to the hotel itself and expedia, so finally they give me a $200 credit on their site.

    Well against my better judgment I used the site again to book a CA Vacation. I book a room for a hotel and now keep in mind I called to do this because I have 5 people going, not four and I know it’s usually for, hey guess what, I get off the phone with the girl and our conversation ended with you will receive your confirm via email… it never comes. I call Expedia on the phone for over 2 hours trying to see why went wrong, I'm told the girl messed up because that hotel does not even accommodate what I need. And the guy is like oh well I don't know what to tell you, I should have learned my lesson right? So I book our next hotel. Here is the next thing, I book our room and use the $200, I really did want to use the credit. So that is the reason I went with them again.

    I book a two queen bedroom ocean view, which I'm told by expedia that I will be able to have a roll away bed, guess what? Not true so the cost of the room so far for 5 days is 2500.00 and I know it’s not true because I called the hotel we booked and wanted to make sure everything went through ok, just to make sure I call and that’s when I was told about the room being too small for the roll away. So, I ask what I have to do and I'm told I have to get a bigger room, which will cost another $600-$700. I'm told that they will note the account because they can't make the change until I get there. So ok I'm fine because at least the hotel is going to place this hold for us, well I call back just to make sure were all good because my trip is in in two weeks. Guess what, it’s not, and I'm on told to call Expedia and I'm on hold so far for 40 mins. 52mins, ok so ** picks up and I tell her what the issue is, she tells me hold on I'm calling the hotel.

    She calls the hotel and gives them the wrong story, she tells them that I'm upset because I don't have two queen beds in my room. WHAT, ARE YOU KIDDING? WHAT SHE NOT ON THE OTHER END WHEN I JUST HAD THAT WHOLE CONVERSATION?? So again I explain and I'm put on hold again. She comes back and say ok the hotel has the request and you will pay when you get to the hotel it will be $625.00 more, well this is the LAST time ever that I will use this site after my trip I will delete my account. I hope that Expedia closes all together!!!

    We put in a lot of hours choosing where we wanted to stay and what travel service to use. I guess by the time we got to Expedia, we were just exhausted and forgot to do our "due diligence" in reading the reviews. I so wish we had. I booked for everyone, and entered a wrong middle name for my sister-in-law's husband. Apparently this is a monumental task to correct. She began calling the evening I booked, but had to give up for the night, and started again at 6:15 the next morning. Expedia referred her to the airline and the airline referred her to Expedia. Note: this airline was not one listed on the low-price carrier list provided where it states you must contact the airline. Expedia, per their website, should have been able to do make the change. Being unsuccessful in getting the name changed running close to the 24-hour deadline when we'd be charged for the flight anyway, we decided to cancel.

    The instructions to cancel say to use the Manage Bookings button - only, it doesn't work. Back to the phone and the exact same scenario. We did cancel the hotels and everything but the flights. When I called, I was given another number and a different booking ID for the airline (so I was foolishly hopeful), but that didn't work either. We were beside ourselves. I'm pretty resourceful, but I was at the end of it. At 7 that evening, I made one last ditch effort to call the airline. Although I couldn't cancel, the guy was able to change those 3 difficult letters to correct the name. When I looked up our reservations, they had only canceled the hotel - not the transportation, excursions, etc., as promised. Exhausted and beaten down, we chose the path of least resistance and re-booked.

    Unfortunately, by the time my sister-in-law rebooked, the room had gone up $395 for the week - and that was about 45 minutes after my booking. Any discounts for our that soul-sucking, brain-draining, endlessly frustrating experience? Nope. Well, we haven't gone yet, so after reading the other reviews, I'm scared that we may be making a return trip to this website. But we definitely will NEVER make any more trips through Expedia!

    On March 10th we booked a reservation via Hotels.com (** ) and was given a confirmation number **. My account was charged $214.20. It is important to note here that the reservation was for 4 adults and 2 children, as the number of guest is specifically why we booked a 2 room villa. I would also like to point out that the location was less than a couple miles off the Disney property. We are Florida residents and a family of 4 was visiting and we had planned to go to the Disney Parks. Check in for the hotel was 4:00pm. Saturday morning we arrived at Disney at park at the time it opened, at approximately 3:00pm I called the hotel to confirm our reservation. (I was told that my reservation was confirmed and I needed to show in person after 4:00pm to check in).

    When we arrived at the hotel at approximately 4:30 pm we were told that we needed to contact "expedia". At no time in the booking process, in the charging of my account, during my call to confirm, was it relayed to me, but upon arrival with friends in tow and a 3 year old child. (The plan was to drop off our things and get back to the parks.) It was then I was told that the hotel was overbooked and they had no room for me and my guests. When I called "expedia" I got ahold of ** , he was very condescending as he continued to put me on hold and denied and delayed my requests to speak with a supervisor stating (you will be "Wasting your time" talking to a supervisor and that "she" would not be able to do anything for me that "he" could not do).

    What he did was keep me on hold for over 2 1/2 hours periodically coming back to say that he was doing all he could: Every hotel was further and further away and not adequate to the reservation originally made. This included a Days inn with 2 single bedrooms 25 additional miles away. (This is unacceptable and given the original hotel booked which I had to repeatedly remind him, his options were in no way comparable to the original booking.)

    After much protest over this time table I finally was briefly able to talk to the Supervisor ** : who was apologetic without addressing the issue... offering a $100 voucher for "Hotels.com or Expedia", an insult at this point as the last thing you want to hear is that they are offering you a discount to the same company that has grossly mistreated you. She also offered a $25-50 gas voucher for my troubles.

    So just to provide the extent of my troubles: We made a reservation, confirmed and was billed immediately. Only when we show at the hotel to check-in are we informed that they are over booked and 'WE' are responsible at this point to contact you to find out where we might be able to stay. In tow we have a family of 4 including a 3 year old child. At about the hour and a half mark we told them (family of 4) to go back to the park as their day (vacation) should not be ruined. It was at this time and urgency that I insisted on speaking to the manager and was assured that they were "doing all they could" once again. My Wife pulled her phone out and contacted Disney's guest services.

    Within a matter of minutes we were given 8 comparable hotels in a very short distance from where we were. Each with available rooms that matched our needs. This seemed to frustrate ** and ** , when I relayed that my wife had found 8 hotels in the area that met our needs. It was then that they named a "Marriott". This was relativity close 17-20 miles and 30 min away. And on the list given by DISNEY. I ask the address and put it in to the Google maps which shows at the airport, I am familiar with the area and while still not pleased felt it was close enough. Once we arrive at the hotel Marriott at the address given, it was only then that we realized they (**) have given me directions to the wrong hotel and not the one they changed our reservation to.

    The problem has been complicated to the worst possible level as they booked a hotel even a additional 40 miles further. (Again the rest of the party is still at the Disney park) At the current location we are at least 30 min away from Disney but with no reservation and the hotel is asking us to pay for the rooms as the change was "not put in correctly" and they want to charge twice as much as our original charged and authorized amount. This is one of the things that ** had stated "NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE TO YOU". It was at this point I had lost all faith in anything that "Expedia/ Hotels.com" would do to make things right. The Marriott at this time said they would hold the rooms for 1hr while we again were to clear it up.

    I went to the hotel parking lot as to not sit in another hotel lobby and called Expedia/Hotels.com again. I tried to get back to ** to no avail and the current "Supervisor" was supposedly writing everything down of this long ordeal and promised to relay the information to the next person "who could deal with the situation" but transferred me to yet a new person without relaying one detail of the issue. It was then that I was transferred to ** . ** listened to the explanation, provided the prompt attention and applied great detail that an issue of this nature requires, she contacted the hotel and cleared things up, we even got disconnected and she called me back to assure that all was taken care of.

    By the time we got to the room it was 10:20pm. The full ordeal took approximately 6 hours to resolve and was the most horrible traveling experience I have ever had. Each of the four adults on this trip plan on writing BBB. The whole thing was handled extremely bad. The first two representatives were negative, rude and did very little in assisting or addressing the issue. In my opinion it was a joke to them and they intentionally drug out the issue and gave me the wrong address on purpose. I work in client services and happen to be the point of escalation for issues relating to our clients. In most companies an issue of this nature given the things that were done and said you would hope there would be some type of disciplinary action taken.

    Most client service departments have ways of monitoring staff via recorded calls and cameras. A further look into this matter may reveal ** non-Chantilly putting me on hold while not attending to the issue. I feel that this will be relegated to a file for complaints and not further addressed. But if this is not the case I would love a follow up to the actions taken and at the very least an apology for a bad situation made horrific by negligence.

    I was booking a trip to France for (6) people. Wanted to pay with 2 credit cards since the total was over $14K. Took over 5 hours and still not done. Because I had to use 2 credit cards, I had to pay with an Expedia agent. Requested an "English Speaking" agent, but unfortunately all the Expedia agents have heavy accents. They (3) were extremely difficult to understand. So, upon attempted payment with my credit cards, all three agents told me the same story, "sorry, the price of your trip went up" as we were making the transaction and the price is now $100 more.

    I found that hard to believe since I would open another window on my computer to book the exact same trip and the price was not changed. I even asked for the manager (who also had a heavy accent) to help and still same scenario. So, instead, after 6 hrs of useless agents, I called my credit card company to increase my credit limit and charged my trip online with one credit card - no problems, and no price increase. Expedia agents just lie and cannot seem to understand. They really could just say, "if you use 2 credit cards, you will be charged extra" instead of saying the price just went up. Horrible customer service and I had literally WASTED 6 hours talking to agents that lied and lied. My advice is to seek another travel website. This one is not honest.

    It was a simple process. I went to Expedia's website and entered the information for my arrival and departure dates to obtain a quote for a package of airfare and hotel, round trip from Portland to Newark and a five night stay in a hotel. Date of request was 2/18/15. Actual travel was for 5/2/15 to 5/7/15. Expedia had several offers for me to choose from. When I selected the offer I wanted to implement, Expedia changed the number of hotel days from five to four, packaged with an overnight flight. The packaged price (1897.52) of the offer did not change. Unfortunately, I missed the STOLEN day and gave the O.K. to proceed. Subsequently, the same day, I discovered that I could have done the same trip, booking directly, for 1772.20.

    Hardly seems fair. You get a quote for five hotel nights and Expedia removes one of those hotel nights and does not change their price. When you offer Expedia proof that you could do better, with a hotel in the same location with the same four star rating, they have all kinds of excuses as to why they cannot honor their low cost guarantee. Where did the value of the fifth hotel night go? It surely was not shared with the customer.

    If you like BAIT and SWITCH, stick with EXPEDIA. Otherwise I suggest you look elsewhere first. Before posting this, I made numerous attempts to talk with Expedia by phone. It was always someone at some offshore answering center and the wait time was anywhere from 45 minutes to more than one hour. On every call, including the last one to a supervisor, I was disconnected without a call back... they knew my phone number.

    We paid for a room through Expedia and paid 322.00. When we checked in we were told our reservation was cancelled so the hotel charged 292.32 (cheaper than expedia). Our credit card was charged twice, and Expedia rep (**) believed Holiday Inn when they told her they didn't charge me. (I offered to email a copy of my mobile bank statement) and Expedia said I couldn't do that. I asked ** from Expedia for a corporate number and she told me they didn't have a corporate number even though I found it on the internet. Finally I went to front desk and they saw the double charge so they refunded with the assistance of my bank and gave us a coupon to eat breakfast for free one day. I was never informed of having to pay an incidental hotel fee, TV was broken so they moved us to a new room.

    Got there and we were given a full sized bed even though we ordered a KING size bed (my fiance is 6'4" 300 lbs). We were too disgusted to complain anymore. It makes no sense to go through a third party company if we can't trust them to get us the cheapest rate and assist us if there is confusion between the consumer the hotel and Expedia.

I was told I needed a supervisor and got put on hold for 1.32 minutes (I was just curious to know how long they would do that). When they finally answered, ** said: "I understand you need a supervisor, I'll connect you to one." At that point, I couldn't believe it and told him so. Well, instead of "I'm sorry ma'am you had to wait so long", he said "Well, don't yell at me, it's not my fault." Honestly, I didn't yell at him, I said, "I know this is not your fault but you have to understand I've been on hold 1 and a half hours and you're now telling me you're going to be put me on hold."

    I booked a Flight + Hotel + Car package from Expedia.com. Within 30 mins of booking I realized the hotel that was part of the deal was very bad. I quickly called the Expedia customer service and requested if the package could be cancelled. The agent mentioned that since it was so close to the booking, it's not even confirmed. So it's going to be very easy to cancel the booking. I said "Great". He on the call said "He has not wiped the itinerary" and it has been cancelled. I double checked with him if I need to do something. He replied "No, everything is done".

    I then after 2 days went ahead and booked another itinerary (same dates, same location, same people as first one) on Expedia. But this time only Flight + Car. No Hotel. Now while I am on this 2nd travel, 2 days after the travel I get a call from the hotel booked in 1st itinerary to see if I had checked-in. I was shocked that I was getting that call. After talking to Expedia, they told that they had never cancelled the Itinerary. I have call records which show my call to make the 1st reservation and to cancel the 1st reservation. After talking to Expedia for 6 Hours (during my vacation / travel), they inform that it is my fault.

    This is ridiculous. I have call records (no audio, just telephone company call records) and they are making me pay for their mistake. They want me to pay for a trip that I did not take, because their agent made mistakes on their side. This has been a complete nightmare for my family and caused a lot of stress.

Then they said they could not issue the flight credit as not everyone was flying together on the new trip. Once they conferenced in Delta, they hung up again, and we now need to call back. I have $2,000 in credits that they have admitted to in an email and on the phone, but they are making it virtually impossible to use them.

    As well, they are charging me the one night cancellation fee for the hotel cancellation on short notice. I have confirmed with the hotel that they are not charging us (as we are frequent customers), but Expedia is still charging us, saying we have to discuss it with the hotel. The hotel has confirmed they are not charging us, and says they know Expedia makes it extraordinarily difficult to take care of these situations. I guess when all works out smoothly it is fine.

    I booked my Royal Caribbean cruise with Expedia because they were offering a "bogo" deal; book the 1st passenger, get the 2nd passenger at 50% off. I called and spoke to **, whom I was on the phone with for over an hour, hammering out all the details. I write notes on everything so I kept a detailed list of what was included, my cabin number, departure times and the balance I owed to Expedia. After taking such a long time to charge my credit card, ** came back and said "**, thanks for being so patient, I'm going to credit you a $200 on board credit." Wonderful! I wrote it down, along with that I would be pre-praying the gratuities I owed because I didn't want to have to pay them on board.

    My husband and I set sail on our first ever vacation together, and 3 days in we check our cruise statement to make sure we aren't spending too much while on board. We immediately noticed a $100 credit, and that $24 in gratuities were being charged EVERY DAY. We went to the desk to resolve this and were told that we would have to contact Expedia when we returned home.

    Now, I have just gotten off the phone with ** after holding for 16 minutes, telling me she sees no record of a $200 credit, and that we DID NOT include our gratuities when we booked with **. I told her how much my account was charged for and she said that it didn't match what she saw on her screen. She was very rude, and getting frustrated that I think I had a $200 credit, which is apparently impossible. I told her that my phone call was recorded for quality purposes, and that she should check my previous conversation. Conversations are only kept for 60 days, very convenient, as this is now my only proof of what I was promised and is my word against theirs. I have to find my cc statement and send it to this rude woman if I want any hope of being reimbursed for what I was over-charged.

    DO NOT BOOK WITH EXPEDIA! They do whatever it takes to get you to book with them, but do not hold up their end of the deal. I am so disappointed that the first trip I have ever taken with my husband is tainted by this disaster. We don't have a lot of money and have to be careful how we spend, so for Expedia to overcharge us and do nothing to rectify the situation is unforgivable. We will never use them again and strongly encourage you to book with someone else.

    I have been on hold for a total of an hour and a half. I originally had a terrible experience when trying to BOOK my reservation. My girlfriend and I were going on a one week trip to Playa Del Carmen Mexico. I picked a hotel and before paying online I noticed there was an age stipulation to check into the hotel. I contacted Expedia the agent I got said she would call the hotel for me while on hold. She picked up after a very brief hold time. She assured me the hotel would make an exception and allow my girlfriend to check in since she is only one year under the age limit to check in (age limit is 25 she is 24 and I am 23).

    The total of the trip was supposed to be just over $1700. She charged my card TWICE for $1017.50 (over $2,000) then she said "call your bank there must be a limit on your card." I told her there is a $5,000 daily limit on my card she says "no that can't be right I'll wait while you call your bank" So I call and there is no problem on my end. I am at work during this whole thing which last OVER 2 HOURS!! I during this time I have to get on the phone with my bank get the money refunded and credited.

    So I call back the next day to retry and I had a weird feeling about the "exception" at the hotel so I asked to have the new agent confirm. After he calls the hotel he gets back on the phone and says "Sir the hotel manager said no one from Expedia has called and that is a STRICT hotel policy they CAN NOT break!!!!" So this lady was going to allow me to show up to a hotel I can't check into and won’t allow me in. On top of that I would have had to find a new hotel while on vacation and thinking this was already taken care of. AND I would have lost the money for the original hotel!! We had to pick another hotel and eventually decided to not book the trip at all because of this experience. It has been a month and I STILL DO NOT HAVE A FULL REFUND!!! I would rather have ALL of my teeth pulled with no pain killer than to EVER deal with Expedia again.

    Besides that, Expedia asked me to send them a lot of documents that I should print from their website (why if they have plenty of access) and mail to an specific address in order to be refunded for the US$ 66,00 insurance I made with the car rental reservation. But what about all the advertisement on the webpage about "free cancellations at any time" and "no cancellation fees", especially by Expedia?? And what about the fact that the cancellation could not be completed because Expedia website was not working for hours and hours, making the costumer be charged for Expedia's technical problems??

    And what about all the bureaucracy behind the cancellation proceedings and the fact that to charge you for your purchase Expedia takes 5 seconds but to refund you they take a week or a month, considering that you send them some documents that they have provided after your purchase??

    I had to wait ten minutes on hold and speak to two different agents (giving them the same information). I was effectively "charged" valuable time out of my work day to undo a transaction Expedia failed to make but had charged my credit card for anyway! This should be illegal.

An agent finally answered but it was difficult to comprehend what was said because of the heavy accent. He hung up on me and I to call back with much longer time and the whole conversation was futile. They refused to honor the protection plan as I had hoped. They came up with many excuses for not honoring the protection plan and the information was conflicting. They offered a solution that was twice the or three times more than what I paid in the first place. Their attitude was quite rude and impolite. I would never ever want to do business with them again.

    Booked a hotel and an email confirmation came saying hotel confirmed with non-smoking room. Go to the hotel they said confirmation is for smoking room. Called expedia, the Customer service after 30 minutes said they cant help as we cant guarantee a smoking or non smoking room. Even talked to supervisor and he said they cant help as its their POLICY. So people don't use expedia if you don't want to sleep in smoking room and on top you have asthma. Even asked that question that if I have a asthma and I cant breathe there, will they cover my health, they said their policy don't guarantee anything. PLEASE DONT USE EXPEDIA. OSHA and WSIB should be after expedia for this policy. They can endanger someone's health with the policy.

    I've been a loyal customer of Expedia's for many years and booked many trip. After my recent experience, I feel totally SWINDLED by the company and will never use it again. I recently made a series of bookings and was shocked to learn that they have changed the process significantly so that it was nearly, and in some cases, impossible to make changes to or cancel my reservations. There was no option to "manage" the bookings online because I had unwittingly paid upfront for the bookings, and when I tried to reach Expedia to make a change or cancel the wait time was anywhere from 43-53 minutes each time I called.

    I can't afford to spend that time waiting to speak to customer service - which is one of the reasons I use Expedia in the first place. When I called the car rental directly they told me I couldn't cancel and had to speak to my "tour" operator!?! What is that all about. This is SO sad. Expedia used to be a great company - I will never use it again.

On the phone for 45 min and got policy excuse of not within 24 hrs of booking... 24 hrs!!! Then they used we can reject this offer to anyone at any time for any reason.

    I booked a trip on Expedia and bought travel insurance. I tried changing my flights when an unexpected event happened. I got the total run around from them. I then tried to cancel just one airline ticket, the person who was no longer able to come. Expedia again gave me the run around and finally said they would cancel it. Well, they did not cancel it. Now I am trying to cancel it AGAIN. Every time I have talked to them I have asked for a supervisor. I am either hung up on or put on hold for at least half and hour and then get the run around from the supervisor and "magically" disconnected. I will never book with them again. Their travel insurance is a waste of money. It does no good. To change my flights they wanted to charge me $1800!!!! You are better off booking everything yourself and NOT using this company.

    I called Expedia at 3:00 today to book a trip for my family. After waiting on hold and going back and forth to get all of the information correct we were finally done with the reservation and the agent informed me the price had gone up to over $300 more than what I agreed upon. I then told her I would not pay the extra $300 and she then informed me that she had already charged my credit card. Without my permission to the extra charge. She then said she would contact her superior. 45 minutes later her superior got on the phone and said I would need to call the airline if I wanted to cancel, and cancel through the resort as well. The airline would charge me to cancel the reservation, previously I had been told that there would not be any problem to cancel--just call them back and they would do it as long as it was with in 24 hours.

    I then spoke with the next superior in line and she offered the $300 difference back as if she was doing me a favor, but then said if I choose to cancel I would have to pay the airline their fees. I never agree to the charge amount with the extra $300 and now they're telling me I will also incur the cancellation fees. Then on to the next supervisor by this time it's 7 pm at night. She agrees to cancel the reservation and the Sprint airfare fees. I am not sure if she did, But we went ahead and called the credit card company to cancel. It was 8 pm by the time it was over. 5 hours of my life wasted. I will never use this company again. I don't trust them at all. There is a huge communication issue and there is a huge lack of customer service. If this is how the conduct business then hopefully they will go out of business.

    We booked air and a resort package for mid April 2015 and are forced to move to a later date. We chose May 30 - June 6th. The same package on Expedia and separately on the airline and resort site is $1,000 less than the original date. The resort has a no change fee policy on their website if prior to 31 days of arrival which we are at day 34. My wife and I spent 12 hours over 2 days on hold with Expedia and bounced from one place to another, and when we did get a representative, they calculated $800 more for the same package instead of $1,000 less minus the $300 airline change fee, or $700 less than the original package. They also wanted to charge a hotel fee, when there should be none. When I called the hotel on another phone while with a Expedia supervisor, ** is her name, she hung up on me. I also gave her my cell phone in case we got disconnected because it happened 4 times the day before.

    ** did not call back, so she hung up, plain and simple. This is the most unacceptable and aggravating experience I have ever encountered in my life. We are also up against the clock because more fees are charged within 31 days of arrival and we can't get Expedia to work with us, they just hang up. Bottom line is we can cancel and book online ourselves for less than they want to charge to reschedule but we can't get Expedia to cancel this trip, they hang up on us every time to get to that point. Additionally, there is not a customer relations contact of complaint contact for Expedia, we have $6,000 at risk and we are powerless to do anything about it.

    Used them for the first time to book flights. Did tons of research. Went to book the (3) tickets advertised multiple times as the lowest fare for flights with Jetblue. Went through the process to book and when I got to the end the fare had changed about 25 each person. But they had 2 at the lower price I clicked back to purchase 2 at the lower price. Then book the third ticket at the higher price. After booking two, and attempting to book my 15 year old, Expedia website would not allow it since now he is under 18 (JETBLUE AND OTHER AIRLINES ALL ALLOW you to book a teen solo, with age requirements from 12 on up or 14 on up). Expedia puts it at 18 apparently.

    SO I Called to complete the booking. The representative told me he would fix it and add my son to our reservations. I was on hold for a while. He came back and said it was out of his control in his job category but said his customer service agent above him had the power to make this change..."Please Hold." I said, "Sure." I held, and held and held, 15 minutes, to 25, to 32, finally 42 minutes later and now 11:30 pm, I had to get to bed. NO ONE ever responded and picked up.

    Needless to say, the next morning, the same experience except now the one fare had jumped up about 50 dollars more than the one initially advertised. When I spoke to Expedia and told home what happened and I was in the the cancellation period (24 hours per the website) and I want to just cancel and move on with booking thru American Express on Delta which is what I should have done initially, she told me to hold. AGAIN I HELD AND HELD AND NO RESPONSE. Time is money. I hung up. Am using the two flights I purchased and went direct to JETBLUE to add my son to our reservations. Chalk up to a POOR choice to use EXPEDIA. CUSTOMER SERVICE IS VERY TERRIBLE IF ANY ISSUE arises. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

    I tried to book a room in Miami, Florida. I did not receive an email confirmation so I called Expedia, the Hotel, and my bank. The Hotel said I had no room, Expedia said they could not find any info with my phone number and email. My bank said there was a pending transaction with wrong three code... I told bank not to honor the transaction and called Expedia and Hotel back to let them know I had put in wrong code and no longer wish to book room. I was assured by all that it was fine and I had no room. I had just decided to go on to Miami and get a room once I was there.

    All this happened at three am. And I called bank and both Expedia and Hotel back at eight the same morning. Well when I checked my back account again that night it had went from pending to paid. So I call Hotel again and they still say I don't have a room there. I call Expedia and they find no info either. When bank opens on the 20th I call and they give me the transaction code and an itinerary number. I call back to Hotel and the lady says that it was there for the day before but we were a no show and lost our money.

    I call Expedia and they apologize and promise to make it right and get my money back to me so we can get a room somewhere. The lady at hotel said we could not stay in the one I had paid for because it was full of other guests. This was the second night in my car on street by a parking meter in Miami hanging on the phone while Expedia and Hotel were supposed to be getting things straight for me. I had my sister and her husband who is handicapped with me. After all night on phone again I decided that I would go to Hotel and ask why I been charged and could not stay in room. The lady said there was no manager available and would not be one until Monday. I was really upset by now and I went to police to file a report about this all.

    I really felt like it was a scam, and if you are going to charge me for a room that I was told I did not have then I was told that I can't go in room because other people were in it. I did not understand why my money could not be given back. The Hotel told police for me to come back there and I would get a refund. When I get back to hotel they claim it's Expedia who has to give money back. I had Expedia on the phone and they were supposed to be getting it for me to get my family out of the car, and I stayed on the phone again with them until midnight. This was on the 21st.

    Earlier that day Expedia had sent an email to correct email address. It was about hotel reservations an itinerary number. Too bad it was just a little late getting to us. Anyway after being on phone until after midnight with Expedia again and by then I knew even though they told police they were refunding my money I knew it was a lie. We spent three days in Miami at a parking meter on phone with these people while the room was sold to someone else. There did not seem to be one thing I could do about it. I was told that they would give a full refund but it would take two weeks to get on my card.

    So I left Miami for the fourteen hour drive back to my home. Two weeks have come and gone and I have no money back yet. Each time I call Expedia. I am ask to hold while they call hotel manager. Each time they come back and say manager is not available and they have to call back. A lady at Expedia. Said manager was going to call her back in two hours and then she would call me. It's still not happened. These people have totally scammed me out of my money. The police even told hotel that if we were going to be charged for three days then why were other guest in our room. They just promised to refund to cop and then once he was gone it was back to we were not getting it back.

    I have had my bank do a fraud claim and I know I am going to get my money back. I just think it was horrible that a company could take your money and leave you in your car for three days and then still not do one thing to make it right. The Hotel blames Expedia and says we did not show up. I gave police my phone and he could see how many times I called both Expedia and hotel and was told there was none. Then when my bank was able to give those numbers to me the Hotel says we did not show. I have receipts from parking meter that shows we were there we just got told we didn't have a room. This is horrible to do to anyone and then to just yell lie after lie instead of getting us in a room and out of the car was crazy. I am talking to attorney about this and I will continue to report them to everyone I can. Ocean Spray Hotel Miami FL and Expedia are awful and they did me very wrong.

    Having Expedia make a name adjustment to a reservation (i.e., adding a middle name to an existing reservation) is a major event. 40 minute call times, an inability to find the reservation and language issues that make looking up an email a ten-minute exercise. Then another 30 minute wait to talk to someone from an airline to make the actual change. Their customer service model is broken. Being able to service a purchased product is basic table stakes and they cannot seem to get this right. I for one will not use their business again.

    I have used Expedia.com to book travel for a number of years. This time, I experienced an error when submitting my transaction for purchase while using the app on my iPad. An error message/box popped up indicating that difficulty was experienced processing my transaction, and gave me the option of calling a listed customer service number or selecting a button to either Cancel or Retry. I selected Retry and after several seconds, that same message appeared. This time I selected Cancel and logged in and started over on my other mobile device without issue. Once I received a confirmation code in the app, I went directly to the airline to book seating and baggage arrangements. When checking my email several minutes later for their confirmation, I noted 2 bookings/confirmations from Expedia.com. I found out that 2 transactions were sent to my bank!

    When I contacted Expedia.com to discuss the error and ask that the other transaction/confirmation be cancelled, the representative told me that I booked two times and dismissed my explanation regarding the app error, instructing me to contact the airline (for an Expedia.com error). When I asked to speak to someone regarding the system/app error and for guarantee of a full refund, I was placed on hold to speak to a manager. Many minutes later, a recording indicated that another number was created to assist me due to the high volume and the number was listed so that I could call. I called the number to find out that it was a number for the airline! After about 20 minutes, I was told that the booking was cancelled with full refund as it was within 24 hrs. I called multiple times as I never received confirmation of this cancellation as promised. I am still waiting.

    The entire point of using Expedia.com in the past has been convenience. This was anything but, and I was left to fix their error.

    I have been an Expedia customer for years, but have never had to make any changes to a reservation - I guess I have been fortunate that travel plans never changed. However, with a recent very expensive family vacation package, I had to cancel one of the party due to illness and re-purchase a ticket for someone to replace her. I fully understood there would be a fare difference and JetBlue agreed to waive the $150 change fee due to it being a verified illness. JetBlue was great, but I spent over 5 hours on hold and working with multiple Expedia agents and "supervisors" to get this resolved. I will NEVER use Expedia again and certainly will NEVER book a vacation package through them. Buyer beware.

    I booked a room for my daughter to visit a large University she is considering for her specialized degree. The next day we received two emails rejecting the reservation we had booked. We called both Expedia and the hotel for advice. The hotel said we had a room and Expedia said the hotel was full. Because we booked through Expedia, we believed them and booked a different hotel through their partner company, Hotels.com.

    We thought everything was fine until we found the charge from the hotel through Expedia. We wrote letters, sent emails and spent countless hours on the phone trying to have this resolved. The manager we were assigned to work with actually directly lied to us saying they couldn't reach anyone at the hotel. We had no problem reaching the hotel, which was more than willing to refund us, but didn't have the ability to do so because Expedia was the merchant account which charged us. If Expedia would release the charge they were willing to refund us. Expedia refuses to refund us.

    The hotel has since stopped using Expedia as they feel the company is no longer reputable and they and their customers have had too many problems with them. They have been apologetic and have offered us a night’s stay to offset our problems with Expedia. We are very very unhappy about this and find the company lacks integrity, decent morals and functional service.

Most of the time, you can get the flights for the same price as Expedia, through the airline. If you value your time and money don't use Expedia.

    Also, if you need to make a change and they say that the airline is going to charge you $200 for the change, call the airline yourself. I tried to change my flight and they tried this. I called the airline and they were surprised when I told them Expedia had to charge me because the airline required charge for the change. SCAM!

Expedia then said that because the change fee for our airline tickets was greater than the cost of our tickets there was nothing they could do.

Never mentioned anything that there is a change, and did not go over with us about what we have discussed, hung up the phone and that's it.

    Called Expedia back to resolve the problem, I was on hold for 90 minutes and mind you it was 11:30 pm and I have to get up at 4:30 am to go to work. When an agent was on the phone I have reviewed with him and told him about the situation, all he said was the trip that we have is non refundable and we cannot change or cancel our vacations. I have called several agent to make the situations straight but no one could help us.

    Now we are stuck with this flight and hotel that we didn't want to. Plus it is now a nightmare to me, I have been stressing over this for the past 3 days.

    What a nightmare. I booked a resort for my honeymoon 7 months in advance, making sure that it was a free cancellation since I was still looking around. I canceled the reservation one day after making it because the booking had all sorts of "taxes and fees" not noted when I initially looked at the hotel. The quoted rate on Expedia was $658 plus $131 taxes and fees per night; I ended up being billed for $1100 per night plus an additional unexplained $1400.

    Expedia had no problem charging my credit card for the reservation immediately, but when I received no credit for the cancellation I had to call. After being put on hold (code for "I'm going to hang up on you now") three times I finally got through to someone, who had to contact her manager, who had to contact Corporate. I spent nearly 2 hours on hold and still have not received a refund. I'm going to dispute the charge with my credit card company because the customer service at Expedia is a joke and I see no way to get my refund by calling the "customer service" line. I cannot believe an online travel agency funnels all requests to a call center where employees are unaccountable - what about email or chat support? Also, I found out that booking through the hotel directly was hundreds of dollars less than Expedia's "sale" price. Given how difficult it has been to get my money back - $7K of it - I will never use Expedia again.

    I'm a SILVER Status member with Expedia. I booked a trip for my fiancee and I to Cancun with Expedia for hotel and flights so that I can propose to her. Attempted to check in in advance for the flights which I was unable to do so I called Expedia. They kept me on the phone for over 2 hours and assured me that our seats were set and we were good to go. We get to the airport hour and a half prior to flight and proceeded to Aero Mexico which our flights were on. Come to find out at the check in that none of our seats were reserved and we did not have a connecting flight from Mexico City to Cancun... Under stress, we were told we would need to purchase that leg separately if we wanted to get to Cancun, so we did. While the whole process, I called Expedia again. They recommended I call Delta as that's who they purchased our flights thru and Delta used Aero Mexico.

    Delta told me to call back when I get to Cancun and they will have me reimbursed. Result of that night was we were not sitting together, in fact they sat us as far apart as they could. My fiancee had to sit next to the bathroom in the back to Mexico from Las Vegas in a middle seat next to two sick children who kicked and cried the whole way there. Obviously she was not happy at all! We get to Cancun and I had to call using hotel phone again. Sat on the phone with Delta for 30 mins before telling me that I would need to call Delta headquarters to get a refund. I then call Expedia and they again had me on the phone for 2 hours as they were trying to resolve the issue on their end and reserve our seats for the flights returning so that we would not encounter the same experience we did going there. Again I get to the airport on the day of departure back to Vegas with no seats held. We luckily got there earlier enough for them to reserve seats at counter.

    I've been trying to get my refund and some sort of compensation for my troubles thru Delta and Expedia for over a week now and nothing offered or anything. EXPEDIA has officially lost my business for good! I was billed for the flights, the whole package for two to Cancun and a $111.00 phone bill from the hotel for calling Expedia and Delta... What a joke!! I have made the decision to blog about my experience to as many as I can so that the world knows how Expedia handles their "valued" customers! I will not stop until my mission is complete!

    I booked a cruise thru Expedia. At the time of booking, I had a promotion at that time. I was eligible for up to $500 on board credit eligible for booking thru Expedia. When I used my Visa credit card, the person who booked the cruise did not told me that this promotion was eligible for Master credit card only. But when I asked about the promotion, the booking person informed me that he will send me the form to fill it and send it to Expedia to get the credit. Even after 2 or 3 days, I did not get any form. When I called Expedia to check, at that time I was told that, this promotion was only for Master credit card. This is total mistake by the Expedia person. When I called the Expedia again, the support person was rudely told me that it is for MasterCard and disconnected the phone. I am not going to book any bookings thru Expedia any more.

    Booked a vacation with Expedia for 3. Told me they'd take care of airline seating. Called 3 times to ask about this as it was not showing on AA.com. Last call on Feb 18 - was told the exact seats that would be booked. Still did not show up on AA so today 3/2 I booked directly on AA as I was waiting for 2 hrs for a call back from Expedia. Had to pay $58 for 2 seats that were never booked. When I finally spoke to Expedia rep he told me that those bookings are not confirmed until they are. Well don't you think you should call me back and tell me I need to rebook?? Was polite but told him I was very disappointed and now felt I had to check hotel reservations too as I couldn't trust Expedia. He hung up on me.

    First, I booked a hotel on a trip to Little Rock, Ar. The hotel was in Conway. When I realized it was a little further than I would have liked to be from my appointment the next day, I called to see if I could change the location. Call 1 - the lady said yes and I could change with no additional charge. I never got email confirmation on the new hotel with address. Call 2 - the person apologized and said that I could change but it would be another charge and the first hotel would be credited back within 7-10 days and my call got dropped. Call 3 - the person told me I could book another room and get my money reimbursed within 7-10 days. Two weeks later after not receiving my refund, I called customer service and they told me it was non refundable. I would have never booked the second room and just dealt with the longer drive. I sure did not want to pay for two hotel rooms and stay in one.

    On Dec. 6, 2014, I booked a tour for Ethiopia through Wild Frontiers Adventure Travel. On Jan 13, 2015, I mailed my visa application with fee to the Ethiopian Embassy in Washington. On Jan. 23, 2015, I booked round-trip tickets between Denver and Addis Ababa using Expedia. This charge appeared on my credit card statement. The booking was confirmed by Expedia. On Jan. 27, 2015, I paid the final balance due to Wild Frontiers for the tour. On Feb. 5, 2015, I paid Wild Frontiers for booking domestic flights between Addis Ababa and Dire Dawa in Ethiopia.

    On Friday, Feb. 20, 2015, I arrived at the United Airlines check-in counter 2 hours prior to boarding time. United Airlines had no record of my name, even after checking all of their data sources online and by phone. Despite herculean efforts by the United check-in clerk on her personal cell phone, by 11:30 p.m., she had still not been able to get sufficient information from Expedia to allow me to board the flight.

    I called Expedia repeatedly (a dozen times) until giving up at 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 21, as it was by then too late to catch any flights I might have been able to get had Expedia not been so inept. I had been put on hold, transferred, and disconnected every time, with Corporate Managers telling me to call Ethiopian Airlines to get resolution, and Ethiopian Airlines telling me to call Expedia as it was Expedia who issued me the tickets.

    So instead of being on tour in Ethiopia, I am back at home in SW Colorado, still wrangling with Expedia, still with no resolution. The latest advice from an Expedia Corporate Manager is that I should get United Airlines to email Ethiopian Airlines a confirmation that they were unable to find my reservation. So the buck keeps getting passed, from Expedia to Ethiopian Airlines, and now from Ethiopian Airlines to United Airlines. In my view, it is ultimately the responsibility of Expedia, not Expedia's customers, to rectify errors made by Expedia or any of its client airlines.

    Meanwhile, the tour in Ethiopia is concluding its 8th day and there remains only frustration and zero resolution with Expedia. I am a very seasoned traveler and have never before experienced anything like this. This is the first time I used Expedia, and I will NEVER use Expedia again! How is it possible that Expedia is still in business?!

    I had booked my air travel, hotel and rental car through Expedia.com. On the morning of my flight at 4:30am I received a phone call from the airlines saying our flight had been cancelled. I then called Expedia to cancel the hotel and rental car. I was told that it had to be done 24 hours in advance. Then they told me they would try to contact the hotel and see if they would cancel it anyway due to the situation. They then came back and said that the hotel wouldn't cancel the reservation. So I called the hotel myself directly and spoke to their customer service agent Samantha and they agreed to cancel the hotel but told me that they would have to contact Expedia since it was booked through them. So The agent at Expedia had lied to me about this and come to find out the same was true for the rent a car company as well. Never book your hotel and car rental through EXPEDIA.

    Yesterday I went to check in for my 7pm flight and realized that Expedia NEVER confirmed my flight with my airline. Luckily, I was still able to confirm it, but it was incredibly stressful and inconvenient. Then, when I arrived at my destination at my scheduled time of 11:23pm, I was stranded at the airport because the car rental service they booked me with closed at 11pm. They had already charged my credit card $318 for the rental car, but I wasn't even able to use it. I had to pay to rent a car with another open company.

    I have called their customer service team 7 times now and have yet to speak to a human. I was on hold for 43 minutes and then immediately hung up on when the call was connected.

    I booked a trip on Tiger air through Expedia in December for a flight to Thailand from Indonesia. I received a confirmation email letting me know my booking was complete but when I showed up to the airport 3 months later Tiger Air let me know that they never had issued a ticket for me and had no record of a request from Expedia. I had to buy a ticket on the spot for $480 (original ticket was $212) and get on the plane.

    When I returned to the States I gave Expedia a call explaining the situation (after waiting on hold for 16 minutes). The call itself took 35 minutes and the man on the phone was completely useless in trying to assist me. I explained that I wanted Expedia to make up the difference of $268 since that was the amount I was charged on top of what I was expected to pay. He put me on hold four separate times to speak to his supervisor and returned with an offer of "a $50 coupon for a future flight."

    I was insulted and asked to speak to a supervisor immediately. At this point the total call time was 62 minutes. He finally came back and said his supervisor is on the line and then promptly hung up on me. I called back only to find that the next available agent will be available in approximately 14 minutes. This is an absolute joke. I will never use Expedia again and will deter all of my friends and family from doing the same.

I think the chapters on "Thank you for holding" and "Please stay on the line" should go AFTER the chapters on "Let's find a solution right now" and "Let me try to arrange what you've asked for and call you back". You should also advise your students to take notes in class. It seems that they - in the short mandatory periodically occurring breaks after which the mentor has to redial into the session - tend to forget everything.

    I know you've done a lot for me in the past and things have been great. It's just this one time that ruined it all. After all, I'd love to be a returning customer, but that requires a valid return ticket. The one I bought from you and you took away. Farewell Expedia.com.

    On the Expedia website we found a room that said it was a 1 bedroom, King bed and a living area with a sofa bed. When we got to the hotel we received a studio, with a small queen bed and no living area or sofa bed. Hotel claims they have no rooms with King beds so this was impossible. Then the hotel tried to tell me that the request for a 1 bedroom suite is just a request not a guarantee. Really? Then why did I pay for a 1 bedroom suite when I had other options?

    Needless to say, the hotel was horrible, argumentative and not smoke free which was mentioned on Expedia. Expedia was unhelpful as they just wanted to give me a $50 voucher for the future. REALLY? I will never use Expedia again. The worst part of this whole situation was that my parents had booked the same room and they were unable to get a suite because the hotel had no other suites free.

    I blame Expedia for the bait and switch and not booking the proper room when we booked. Oh and on top of this whole thing, we were charged by Expedia AND then charged again by the hotel. We called the hotel and they said they would reverse the charge. After checking today, we were charged AGAIN. Had to dispute with our credit card to get this all fixed! HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE all around!

    I booked a flight for my wife, my sister in law and myself ($480 each). This flight was booked 2-13-14. I had searched for months and this was the lowest flights had been for several months, maybe longer. Two - Three days later Expedia had the same flight for $150 less. Where is your (fair guarantee) policy for these type of situations? I know they say within 24 hours, but, this is not fair since other airlines offer fairer and much more consumer friendly guarantees. Cheap Air and other airlines offer better and fairer guarantees that are more appealing to people. I will never book with Expedia again if they do not offer some type of adjustment on our flight. I think this is dishonest and very poor customer relations. The itinerary number is **. Please see if you can give us some consideration for an adjustment. Your policy is unfair when other airlines offer better. We are anxiously awaiting a favorable response. Thanks.

    On February 28 my husband and our two children checked in at our hotel in Singapore. We had a terrible mix up with Expedia and was booked into a hotel that only accepts families of three. We are a family of four. The hotel told us we would need to book two rooms at double the cost. Of course this is not possible for us. We DID NOT blame the hotel. We DID NOT try to sneak in an extra child. We DID NOT try to bully the staff into getting what we want.

    The hotel DID NOT make the mistake. I called Expedia to ask for help to find us a hotel that would accept our family of four. After THREE HOURS of being placed on hold and transferred three times I was hung up on. I am unimpressed with Expedia's customer service in our situation. As a result we had to book an extra room at our expense. We sent many emails of complaint with no assistance.

    Today I called after Expedia.ca requested that we call. I never asked for a refund. All I asked for was a room that would accommodate our family. If only someone would have helped us on February 28 I would not be as infuriated as I am today. I asked the customer service rep what Expedia will do to encourage me to continue doing business with them. He said nothing. Nothing.

    As a travel writer I will never promote Expedia as a way of booking travel of any sort. I am saddened that Expedia does not see me as a valued customer. I am in disbelief of how poorly I have been treated. I am however thankful that there are numerous other sites that want my business and I will shout them not Expedia from the roof tops of my blog.

    I called to book reservations for two hotel rooms. When I make it to the hotel at 2:30am I'm told by hotel clerk that they were booked. Two minute later I call Expedia/Travelocity back to cancel reservations. I was told by CSR that they had been cancelled. The next day I checked my card and the hotel not only charged me for two rooms but also charged me a no show fee. I've been backwards and forwards on the phone with both and no one give a darn about my 320.00. It takes me a week to make that money for them just to tell me to go to hell.

    In early January I booked a holiday and flights package for two for 7 days (28/06/15 - 05/07/15) to Gloria Palace Royal Hotel & Spa for £777.55, leaving from London Gatwick. I was then contacted on Friday the 20th of February to say that our British Airways flight had been cancelled due to operational reasons and was offered a different flight with a stopover in Madrid, leaving from London Heathrow. I was not happy to do this due to the extra travelling time it would result in. So was advised by the Expedia help desk to cancel my holiday completely, receive a full refund and simply re-book it on a different date.

    I was more than happy to do this until I discovered that the price of the holiday had gone up by an extra £200. I fail to see how I should have to pay more money, for dates that I didn't originally want all because our flight being cancelled. The Expedia help desk also forgot to cancel my hotel, and only rectified this when I called again this morning (Sunday the 22nd of February). I booked this holiday as it was both cheap, and still a very nice looking hotel. This would be the first holiday my boyfriend and I have been on together and now the experience has been tainted by this inconvenience. DO NOT BOOK WITH EXPEDIA!

    I booked a flight through Expedia going from SFO to LAS on Virgin America, casually noting the 'best-price' guarantee that Expedia mentioned as I checked out. Six hours later, as I confirmed my seats with Virgin, I was surprised to find that the cost of the exact same trip was about $30 less, when booked through Virgin America directly. All variables were the same, the time of departure, the time of return, the dates for each, the aircraft and the class of service, but at Virgin's site, the cost was significantly less. But I was relieved for moment remembering Expedia's 'best-price' guarantee. I made note of the difference in airfare cost, captured the information graphically, and submitted a claim with Expedia, naively confident that Expedia would do what they advertised. I was shocked by the response. The Expedia customer service agent emailed me several days later, claiming that I had filed my claim too late to take advantage of the guarantee.

    They said simply that all claims must be made and received by Expedia within 24 hours of the original booking. From my point of view, I made my claim only 6 hours after the original booking of the flight, as evidenced by the header data in the email chain that had been copied between myself and the customer service agent. In spite of that data, the agent maintained that it had been 25 hours from my original booking to the time the agent reviewed the matter, and that because the review of my submission could not be completed in the 24 hour period, that the guarantee was void. In my humble opinion, the sheer mass of offal associated with the best-price guarantee that Expedia is so proud to promote on their website, would ground an entire fleet of Boeing jumbo jets if you tried to haul it all between any two cities in America.

So, I lost the original $1200 on the flight that I had already paid them for. No ticket or refund and not even allowed to change the date for a fee.

    On Feb 20th, I booked a flight online on Expedia and needed to change the date to another date. I then called customer service and explained that I needed to make this date change. I asked the customer service representative if there were ANY fees at all to make this change and was told that there was none. I was told by customer service (CS) that she would cancel my original flight and given a new one for the requested date. I was assured that I would be refunded my entire purchase flight for the original flight and then recharged the same amount for the new flight itinerary.

    After completing the call and looking at the new itinerary that was sent to me by CS via email, I saw that I was charged another booking fee of $14. I was assured that I would not be charged any fees. I then called Expedia Customer Service and spoke with another CS agent and her supervisor and explained the situation and was told that I would not be refunded the $14 booking fee. I understand being charged $14 for the original booking fee when I booked online, but I feel that I should not have been charged another $14 for the new flight itinerary as I was told by the agent that I would incur NO fees. To me this is a deceptive practice.

    I booked a flight for myself and my two sons through Expedia. I was flying from Newark NJ to Daytona Fla round-trip on Feb 7-9. The day before our flight, I noticed an earlier flight to Daytona. Since we were going to be there a short time, I called to see if I could change the flight. They told me that it would be $200 a person as a penalty and the difference in the cost of tickets. I told them that I had Travel Protection. They said that I had to put out the $200 per person and I would get that refunded within two weeks ($600). So I changed the flight.

    While I was in Florida, we heard weather reports indicating that there was going to be a snowstorm on Monday, Feb 9. Since I have MS, I could not take the chance of being stuck in Florida, so I called Expedia again and asked about changing my flight to Sunday the 8th. The woman told me the same thing about a penalty. I once again told her that I had travel protection. She told me that I would have to pay the difference in fares plus $200 per person as a penalty. I told her that I had travel protection. I told her that I used it already for my outgoing flight. She said I had to put out the money and that it would be refunded to me within two weeks ($600).

    I made sure that she knew that I changed my outgoing flight already and used my travel protection. So I changed this flight. I paid Expedia an additional $600 out of pocket, not including the cost of the fare differences. I paid them a total of $1,200 in penalties. Now, two weeks later, I have not received any money. When I called, I was told that I would only get $600 that back. That it was not their policy to apply travel protection twice. I asked to speak to the manager and then the supervisor, and was put on hold for over an hour waiting for people.

    I was finally told that I would have to talk to a "lead" and that they would call me back within 72 hours. I said that I would rather stay on hold. I waited another 10 minutes and was told that I could not stay on hold, that I had to wait for them to call me. When I told the supervisor, Katie, that I did not want to wait around for 72 hours for someone to call me, she told me that I didn't have to wait, that was my decision. She said, "They're going to tell you the same thing anyway!" So I gave her my number and I told her that I would keep asking for the next person in charge until I received the entire $1,200. She said that was not going to happen. I have used Expedia before, but I will never use them again. I am still trying to get my $1,200 back. Is there any way that I can get help from Consumer Affairs?

    NEVER USE EXPEDIA!! Why do we read reviews AFTER we have had a bad experience? Everything I have read below is exactly how it went wrong for us. How can an American company train (or not train) their 'Asian teams' as they do? I am appalled at the way I was treated and by the tactics that they use. Either they have no idea, and no power on how to solve problems, or the tactic is deliberate knowing that you will have no choice but to give up!

    I and my husband made international calls to the "helpline" call centre for a week. I was sent from department to department, I was fobbed off, I have been cut off, I have been told to call back again and again, I have waited on hold for up to an hour and a half at a time, every day. I have been told to call the airline direct, to call The States.......... just to resolve a simple problem.

    We received email information that our flight had been cancelled one week before we were due to fly. After speaking to the airline we know what the error was - Expedia never ticketed the booking so it was automatically cancelled, but no money was refunded to us. Surely this whole process is, simply put, fraudulent. Twelve hours before we were due to fly we realised that we had no choice but to make another booking. This was almost 3 times the price due to the late timing. They have simply stolen our money. We won't stop until we get it refunded. Keep in mind, we were at no fault at any point, and they did nothing to assist or help us in any way to resolve the problem that they caused. The stress has been immense.

I spoke to a customer service agent on Feb. 17 to cancel my room. I live in Shanghai, China, so obviously this is long distance. My cancellation was urgent for professional reasons I was unable to be in Taipei. The first agent Jonathan, told me the reservation office was closed when he called Taipei but reassured me, he would get back to me via email with a cancellation information.

    I woke up, checked my email, no information or contact from Expedia. I then decided to call. I spent over an hour talking to 2 different agents who apparently tried to talk to the hotel. The first one had me on hold for over 30 minutes of long distance from China with no information, so I hung up after being frustrated and angry and tried again.

    The 2nd one was absolutely no help either. He called to talk to the hotel saying they could not speak English, which is not true because I spoke English with the hotel earlier and they told me I needed to make my cancellation with Expedia. They then gave him a number to call for cancellations and he told me it did not work. I asked him the number and then realized after hearing it, he was calling with the COUNTRY AREA CODE!!!!!!

    This is a company that works with international flight, hotels and bookings! How is that even possible. Then I was put on hold again and after sometime he just hung up on me.

    I have to file a complaint against your company - I was the victim of a BAIT AND SWITCH tactic, which is ILLEGAL, and can be reported to Consumer Affairs and be exposed in the media. I booked a 50$ VIP coupon from you based on my choice of a hotel, which appeared on the list when I clicked on 'find a VIP access hotel' on your site. Since I wanted that hotel I booked the coupon. When I couldn't access the coupon number for payment, I called Expedia and then the agent told me I couldn't use my coupon because the hotel of my choice was not a VIP hotel. He offered to find me another, more expensive hotel.

    This is typical bait and switch tactics. When I asked for his name, he hung up on me. I requested a REFUND OF MY POINTS, because the only reason I redeemed the points in that fashion was in order to book that hotel - the GARLAND in North Hollywood, CA. He refused. Please do so or I will report Expedia's illegal and dishonest business practices of bait-and-switch, worthy of a third world country. In addition, your service has become horrendous, abysmal. I don't think I will ever use your company again."

    In reply I received an automated message that sends me right back to their website. In other words, we are not dealing with people, we are dealing with robots. Meanwhile I called Expedia directly (1-800 - EXPEDIA); the agent referred me to the rewards department, who said she had to send me to another department - another half hour of waiting. Those in turn said I had to speak with the rewards department; you get the picture. After I threatened legal action, the agent promised to refund the points to me. She didn't seem convinced. I doubt very much that any step will be taken.

    This is horrible company, they deserve to be sued. I just read on Wikipedia that they were spun off from Microsoft. No wonder! Also now they own Travelocity and are about to acquire Orbitz. They have little competition, are a monopoly. I think legal action would be appropriate. If you are an attorney, please e-mail me, don't call. Thank you.

I was never told that nor could I find it in my confirmation. I asked for a supervisor and was told that I would be contacted in 24 - 48 hours and of course never was.

    I called back several times with a promise of a call back that never happened. I finally got someone who seemed competent and he agreed that we should have been told and if I wasn't said we would be credited. In order to prove this they need 72 hours to pull and listen to the recordings. I patiently waited but never received a call back. I called once again and after being on hold for nearly 2 hours was told they pulled the recording and I was correct that I was not told it had to be paid in full. However, they now needed a screenshot of the lower price to honor it. I was not told at the time to take a screen shot so this was just one more lie they are telling me.

    Here is my story. I was late to my flight from Seattle to Calgary. As I bought tickets from Expedia the Delta agent advised me to call Expedia which I did. The girl on a line tried to find change and also asked me if I still want to use my return flight from Calgary to Seattle. I answered YES. Finally, she did not find anything for this day and I purchased one way ticket from Alaska directly and flew next day. When returning back from Calgary at the Delta counter they told me that MY RETURN FLIGHT WAS CANCELLED. This was because of some kind of policy which called no show. That means if you miss your forward flight, your return flight is also cancelled and to get it back, even on the very same flight you have to pay a change fee. How do you like it?

    Ok, I had no choice to pay a fee and a bunch of taxes totaled of 330 dollars. But the worse thing that I traveled abroad with one way ticket and an itinerary from Expedia which already was a piece of paper. I called Expedia and asked how on earth could this happen that my flight is cancelled and nobody told me that and even a girl on a line asked if I still want to use it. I requested a refund, they declined telling that they don't charge my credit card, Delta does.

    The conclusion of this - Expedia does not possess the situation and does not have a clue what's happening. If everything goes smoothly you can use their tickets with no problem, but if anything happens, they just mislead you into trouble. Try always buying tickets directly from the air companies. I do this very often - use Expedia like a free search portal and then go directly to companies' web sites. The prices are almost always the same for the same flights. This time I bought tickets directly from Expedia for convenience and I don't want such "convenience" anymore.

Additional Flight cost: $150 + sleeping overnight in airport + additional parking + waiting on standby for a seat to open-up for connecting flight. Customer compensation: 0 dollars.

    Made a reservation thru Expedia for the Hampton Inn in Tempe Arizona. By mistake entered the wrong date and of course it said non-refundable. Within 5 minutes, called and the person I reached kept telling me that she could not get thru to the Hampton Inn. Said she would call me later which she did and told me the same thing. Said she would notify her supervisor and he/she would contact me. Never heard back and was charged for the night. I understand the policy but mistakes do happen and lies should not be told.

    I spent one hour online with Expedia booking a vacation package. The booking for the hotel alone did not process, per the online information. So, I went back in to Expedia and started over (or so I thought). I was successful in booking the vacation but then looked to see there were 2 itinerary numbers, so I knew there was a double booking. I called Expedia the next day and spent over an hour online with an agent and a supervisor. While online with them, Expedia showed a room rate of $116/night when I had paid the previous day a $143/night rate. So, I filled out the form to get the lowest price, per the instructions from the Expedia agent. The form showed the dollar amount was incorrect and the application would not process. BUT wait, then I went to my emails and there was a THANK YOU FROM Expedia for processing the application for lowest fare (but online it said it could not be processed).

    The information for the room rate was incorrect and I tried to get that answered by the supervisor, but that did not happen. So, after over an hour on the phone, I ended the call because I WAS EXHAUSTED AND DID NOT SEE ANY END TO THE NIGHTMARE. This is my first and last experience with Expedia. I think they want to wear you out and they have done it.

    I booked a hotel room through Expedia online. When I went to hotel they did not have a reservation for me. I traveled over 4 hours for a small get away for Valentines day with my husband and my cousin and his wife. I called the hotel around 1:15 to see if we could check in early. After giving them my confirmation number from Expedia ** the hotel Wyndam Garden Shreveport said they didn't have anything and that I would need to contact the 3rd party that booked my room.

    So at 2:45 pm I called Expedia to find out what happened and I was told that I could leave my number and I would be called back within 1 hour and 45 minutes and I would not lose my turn in line. So I left my number for them to call me back. At 4:45 I had not received a call so I called Expedia back and was able to get a hold of a agent, I asked her what happened and why I didn't have a room reserved. The agent told me that she would research and get back with me, I held for about 15 minutes and the agent came back on the phone to tell me she was still researching and would get back with me. After holding another 15 minutes the phone hung up so I called back and got the same agent I had before and she said "oh okay let me call the hotel to see what happened, please hold."

    I asked the agent to call me back if the phone hung up and she said she would. After hanging on the phones for another 20 minutes, I hung up and called back and the same agent answered the phone. I asked her how she could answer a phone when she was assisting me already and never came back on the phone but was able to answer the next call in. At this time I asked to speak to a manager. So I spoke to a Manger explained again to her what happened and that this was my 4th call and that I needed to find out about my hotel room and what they were going to do about it since I was a long away from home and had nowhere to stay.

    Manager said "please hold and I will research," again this manger hung up on me. I called back the 5th time and asked again for another manager, she started to research my account again and she game me another complaint # **. Explained again to this manager that I have been on the phone for at this point for probably 2 hours solid trying to get a room for the night. Manger said she was looking for me to see what they could find me and again the phone was disconnected. I called back again and spoke to another manager which gave me another complaint # ** and said she knew all about my issue and that they would work on it.

    At this point I had been on the phone for more than 3 hours. Then finally I was able to talk to someone that could research me a hotel room and by this time I had already been on the phone for a solid 4 hours. Mind you I was on a Valentines get away for the day and night and very excited to get away. We were at the Mardi Gras Parade and I was on the phone the whole time so I didn't get to even enjoy the parade and had to stand way back because of the noise. Then we went to dinner after that and I had to stay on the phone the whole time during dinner. At this point it was after 8:00pm and then was told that there was no hotel for over 45 miles from where we were.

    So we had to go back home the same night and got back at 1:30 am in the morning. Can I just say I am very glad we made it home safe. I couldn't even enjoy my get away because I was on the phone half the day. Expedia told me they would refund my money for the hotel room, I said well of course you will and then they told me they would give me $75.00 credit. I told that agent no way and then the agent said $150.00. I agreed to this because I was so tired of being on the phone for almost 5 hours. I think they should have at least given me a check for what I would have spent if I had stayed or even more.

    This was very inconvenient for us all. I would have hated to see what would have received a room for a week and then to realize I didn't have anything. I just cannot believe that this could happen and Expedia didn't even act like they cared or it was a problem. This is very discouraging that the agents didn't even care. I hope that all the calls were recorded because if you could have them pulled you would have know how much time I spent on the phone and how many times I called. I also filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau.

    Expedia quoted me one price and then charged me another. I spent most of the day trying to resolve the issue. I selected a hotel/flight package deal on line. Due to technical difficulties, I was unable to book on line, and called a representative to book over the phone. The Expedia representative quoted a package price that was slightly lower than the one online. I agreed and provided my credit card info. When I received my invoice via e-mail, I found I had been charged much higher than either the on-line price or the price quoted on the phone.

    I was informed when I was finally able to speak to customer service that the hotel had been charged separately at a significant price. Expedia would not honor the price offered. I checked on line and the package deal was still offered at the price I should have received it. I spoke to a supervisor on the phone, and she could not grasp the principle that what was quoted to me was what I should have been charged. She just stated that prices change. This is a completely unacceptable response to essentially a breach of contract. I waited to speak to a manager, only to be cut off after a long wait on the phone.

    Made a mistake on booking dates. Booked for two days only intended to book for one day. Could only find a phone number that promised to call me back in one hour. In the mean time I figured out how to change on the web site. So I did this. The site promised that the charge had been remanded to my card. On the following Monday still no money. I called expecting that they would have a good reason for the transfer not taking place. Instead I got double talk and they passed the problem to the bank. I spent from almost 9 A.M to 2:38 P.M Monday February 15, 2015 on the phone or waiting for a call back from your company.

    Call one was hung up on by rep before stating my business. Call #2 young lady didn't have an answer for me other than to say "don't know, can't help you, call your bank." Terrible customer service. She didn't even attempt to get a manager to help out. I shamed her and hung up. Then called my bank "CHASE". Chase made it clear to me that if the request had not been sent and they "Chase" upon respite of request funds are remanded to customer's account.

    Now call 3 same thing wait one hour... hung up on. Call 4 agent said same thing "can't help, nothing he can do, i must wait." I asked for a supervisor 39 min later. I get another CSR and had to wait another 2 min to get supervisor. When I explained that my problem called for compensation she flat out told me "no can't do that." After demanding satisfaction she hung up on me.

    Beware of Art Deco Suites in Cancun and EXPEDIA who represents them. My email request to Art Deco for clarification on published pricing inconsistencies [on Trip Advisor site] went unanswered. I saw this same listing on Expedia and called an agent to clarify my questions. Satisfied with agents answers, inaccurate, I booked via Expedia agent on the phone. [He assured me the taxes of 19% were included].

    Later, on checking my invoice I noticed several errors... overcharges. First was for a second person supplement. I'm a solo traveler, secondly was the inclusion of a hotel 19% tax. The second agent agreed with the errors, and agreed to my request to reissue an amended invoice. This did not arrive. When I called back I was told to deal with the hotel when I arrived... if they wouldn't correct the amount in error the call Expedia. Not a satisfactory option.

    Three phone calls ensued, total time well over three hours. I was told Arts Deco wasn't answering the phone and a supervisor would follow up the next morning.

    I found Art Deco's website and sent an email asking for Airport transportation options... still unanswered. Next AM, called to find the Expedia supervisor had NOT been notified, so we started again. Another hour on the phone, he was still unable to reach Art Deco. Following day, new supervisor who knew nothing, still unable to reach Art Deco. Phone message stated this was no longer a valid phone number.

    I requested a full refund and was told Expedia was unable to do so, and Art Deco would charge for the FULL 28 day reservation regardless of whether reservation was cancelled or not. I was told the last step was to escalate this issue to management [Expedia] and I would receive a call back within 24 hrs. So, less than ten days prior to my departure, I cancel my Credit card as the last and only option to protect myself from this shady situation. BOO to both ART DECO SUITES and EXPEDIA. I now have airline tickets, no hotel nor credit card to book one with!

    Update. More than 72 hours later, two more calls to Expedia initiated by me... still unable to reach a department who is authorized to discuss issues with me.

    My complaint now is that I was emailed this morning by Art Deco stating they couldn't accept a credit card, they have no terminal. They are requesting payment for the incorrect amount through PayPal. All online sites warn never respond to private requests for payment. Why is Expedia still carrying this listing after repeated customer service issues?

    This is really a joke. I will never, nor ever allow, anyone to ever use Expedia. This is the worst company I have ever had to deal with. I'm not racist at all but the fact that every rep that answers is in the Philippines just makes it that much more frustrating for me. Not one person cares that it's my honeymoon.

    Terrible experience when I had to change date on a flight and hotel package booking. Just wanted to move to one week later (2 months ahead of holiday, not last minute). It took 3.5 hours of waiting on the phone on 6 separate calls to resolve! Kept getting cut-off after they put me on hold and no one called back despite promising to. 20 minute wait each time I called just to get through to someone. Eventually said they had changed flights then emailed that they had "forgotten" to tell me about an extra charge, so I had to call yet again to resolve. Couldn't even properly change hotel booking so it still shows wrong on my itinerary.

    Poor English of some staff although supervisors are okay. Only offer premium line to call which costs 40p per min from landline and more from mobile so I incurred massive bill to solve problem! Eventually agreed partial compensation for phone call cost, but only as Expedia credit and no compensation for wasted time and poor service. Never use this company if you need to resolve a problem.

    I had several bad experiences with EXPEDIA'S FALSELY ADVERTISING hotels/resorts on their website. I booked a hotel named Avalon Waterfront Inn in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida... The hotel was really nice on the website. I thought to myself, why is this hotel much cheaper than the other waterfront hotels? Anyway, I drove past this hotel three times thinking maybe I had the wrong address. I proceeded to go to the office. There was a long line of people complaining about the filthy rooms. The front office was so dirty and outdated furniture... I walked out to see if I could cancel but after being on the phone with Expedia for 20 minutes, I was told I couldn't cancel... So, with no place left to go, I went back in.

    There were two women at the front desk. They were dressed very unprofessional and they were very nasty. They put us on the third floor. I asked where the elevator was and the woman said there wasn't one. We had four suitcases weighing approximately 50 pounds each. We were staying there just for the night. We were on a cruise and at a resort in the Keys for three weeks. We had to carry the luggage up 6 sets of 12-step stairs. The room was so bad, the windows were broken, stained furniture, wet towels, 4 locks on doors, tile in bathroom falling apart, the curtains and mini blinds were ripped... I was sick!! In the morning, I noticed bumps on my neck, legs, arms, scalp and arms. They itched so bad. I took pictures of them and Google the description. They were bedbugs' bites!!! I went to the doctors when I go home. She confirmed my finding.

    I went on Expedia site again to see what others reviews were... OMG!! There were over 1,000 with negative feedback. Expedia has the nerve to advertise this hotel knowing the conditions... They put us at risk to make money. I wrote customer care three times, I even sent pictures of the bites and the filthy hotel they falsely advertised. NO RESPONSE!!! THEY COULD CARE LESS.

    They stole our money and, when even found in the wrong, tried to get us to pay them more. Booked a weekend trip in Qatar, flights AND hotels, through Expedia. Got a confirmation email saying, and quote, "This is your e-ticket," to be used for boarding, and "Booking confirmed. There is no need to call to reconfirm your booking." Arrived with ample time at the airport, and the flight agent at the counter says there is an alert saying, "Cancelled due to lack of tickets." We called long distance from the Middle East, spent THREE HOURS (while at the airport) on the phone with an Expedia representative, because THEY cancelled our tickets with no notice, would not get us on the next flight, and could not re-book our hotels, which are "non-refundable."...So we're supposed to walk to the Island of Qatar?

    Since the hotel was non-refundable and they weren't able to problem-solve to get us there this weekend, WE proposed that they try re-scheduling the booking for the following weekend (they can't problem-solve to save their lives). They wouldn't. Even after we'd already paid transportation to and from the airport for this weekend, and the next weekend tickets were CHEAPER (would save them money, not us). They wanted us to pay an extra $400 USD for re-booking the hotel that they wouldn't help us get to. Expedia still has not returned our money for neither the flight nor the hotel bookings, only sent an email saying, "Sorry for the inconvenience. Please call them long distance, again."

    Upon checking out from Expedia you are asked to purchase trip protection. I always purchase it because it states that, if for any reason you were to get sick or need to cancel or change flights, this will cover your costs. I never had to use it until my most recent trip. I was attending a conference and caught a nasty bug while I was there. There was no way I could fly home. I called expedia to back up my flights a couple days to allow time for me to recover.

    The first rep that I spoke to told me that I needed to reschedule my flights BEFORE I departed to my conference. I told her that I didn't get sick until I arrived to the conference and that I had no way of knowing that I would be sick while I was there. It is for these specific reasons that I purchase the trip protection. She continued to state that the only way I would be covered is if I changed flights BEFORE I departed. In other words - I would have needed to predict that I would get sick (by foreseeing the future) and change my returning flight before I knew that I would need to.

    I asked to speak to a supervisor. I was put on hold for 35 minutes and then disconnected. I called back again. I was put on hold for 25 minutes and then disconnected. I called back again. I was able to reach a supervisor after a half hour. The supervisor told me that he found a solution and that he needed to speak with his manager to approve it. He said that he needed to put me on a brief hold and that he would be right back to fix the problem. I was put on hold for 45 minutes and I was forced to hang up. I tried calling back one more time and spoke to one more supervisor. I explained to him the situation and also told him what the last supervisor told me in regards to a solution. He was ridiculously nasty to me and said that absolutely nothing could be done as the insurance did not cover me as it stated when I purchased it.

    My only solution was to purchase a full priced one way ticket home, or pay the airline a $200 flight change fee and the difference in the cost of the ticket, which was equivalent to purchasing a full priced ticket. I hate to use the word scam... but I feel that I have never been scammed as bad as expedia scammed me. I was a VERY loyal customer, spending well over $10K with them. Now, I will never use them again, and I'll be sure to make sure everyone I know, knows not to ever trust their services again. Very upset and disappointed.

They kept me on hold for hours and several email exchanges asking for screenshots, etc, only to ultimately refuse the reimbursement with no logical explanation.

    Booked a trip for a group of nine. Paid for the trip in FULL. Contacted the resort in Mexico prior to the trip to confirm reservations and request preferred rooms - Thank God I did. The resort had not been paid in full or there was some misunderstanding between Expedia and the resort. When I contacted Expedia, they actually suggested that we pay the additional amount and then after the trip, Expedia would work with us to refund the overpayment.

    WHAT?! Are you serious? I had to make several phone calls to Expedia. I dealt with some very rude customer reps. That to me is extremely poor customer service. I was assured that everything was take care of. But, when we arrived at the resort in Mexico, they still tried to charge us an additional amount. Fortunately, I went with all paperwork and correspondence in hand and was able to prove that we had paid in full. This was four years ago. I have gone on several trips since then and absolutely refuse to EVAH book through Expedia again.
