I booked a package deal which included a car for six days. At the airport, a limo driver was there to pick me up to take me to a hotel. No automobile. I repeatedly tried to contact customer service. I believe AI was answering and with no category to fix the problem. I’ll never use them again.

Terrible customer service if any issues at all! Booked a package and put wrong date for transportation and was stuck at airport. Took three hours to reach them and then nothing!

I purchased protection of my reservation from Expedia, since I was staying in a rather pricey hotel. I found that I had made an error and had to cancel one day of a four day stay. I am 78 and my spouse is 86; I explained that we would have over a 6 hour drive back from New York City. They said they had contacted the hotel and there were no refunds. That the cancellation fee would be equivalent to what I had paid for the room. When I inquired about why I paid for the protection, they did not reply. So, I have lost over $500 plus what I paid Expedia for the reservation protection.

I’ve been a loyal Expedia customer for years, but after this experience, I will not be using them again. What should have been a simple process (logging into my account, managing a booking, and using an existing airline credit) turned into days of effort and hours of frustration. Instead of a smooth experience, I encountered a broken system, conflicting information, and deeply unhelpful customer service. The issue was trying to use a $197 airline credit with Southwest Airlines. The website wouldn’t apply the credit correctly, so I reached out to customer service multiple times. Each time, I received different and contradictory answers:
~Another told me to contact the airline directly.
~Several agents insisted I had to upgrade my ticket just to use the credit—a requirement that appears nowhere in the airline’s policy or on Expedia’s site. I was repeatedly told this was “airline policy,” but no one could provide written proof.
Even after I gave exact flight details multiple times, agents searched for the wrong flights, quoted incorrect prices, and brought up unrelated airlines. At one point, I spent nearly two hours on a single chat just trying to book a basic flight using my credit. The whole experience felt disorganized and, at times, misleading, and extremely frustrating. I was trapped in a loop between a malfunctioning website and customer service reps who couldn’t offer consistent or accurate help.
To summarize:
~The account system fails when trying to use a credit (I have a screen recording as proof).~Airline credits are nearly impossible to use online.
~Customer service gives inconsistent, often incorrect information.
~Simple tasks require excessive time and effort.
What was once a convenient platform has become frustrating and unreliable. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend using Expedia.

I have used Expedia for years and their service has plummeted. I recently booked a trip and it never actually reserved the seats. When I called to find out why, they told me it was their mistake and they would fix it. Their “Fix” was to charge me for first class tickets so they could be refundable. They charged me $15,000 for the tickets and promised a refund in 1-2 billing cycles. That was 70 days ago. No refund. When I called customer service they transfer my call and hang up on me. I’m out $15,000. I’ll never use their services again.

The online chat is a scam. They deceive you, ask for you to wait for their response then quickly say you have not replied and close the chat and case. They then send you an email and do not respond ever to you via email. It is a vicious circle of no assistance and getting nowhere. We wasted 4 hours of our holiday and spoke with 8 staff member of which all didn't assist us.

If I could give a zero, I would. I wish I had read the reviews before I booked through this awful company, please AVOID!!! I have spent over 4 hours on the phone, placed on hold, and left by the supervisor and got nowhere. I booked my flight and hotel through Expedia, received only confirmation for my return flight, no confirmation from Expedia for the hotel or outbound flight, although my card has been debited, and no one can find my itinerary or reservation!

I am sure many are going to miss this, but if you are new. I was a customer with Expedia for a while. Anyway, I was renting a car and their website messed up, I refreshed, it reset my dates. Did not notice until next day (within 24 hours). I had foolishly paid in advance... I have never had to deal with their customer service before, so did not know of the scams that others have run into. Anyway, they made it clear that they would not be giving me a refund after I had gone through their whole process and even been promised one. I could probably sue, but I am accepting that my $240 loss vs their loss of my business, and if anyone reads reviews or AI scans this, they know that. You can use them; just never, ever do the prepayment... it doesn't save much and will never be worth it for you. And good luck to others.

I had an extremely frustrating experience with Expedia, and I will never use their service again. Their customer service is absolutely terrible. When an issue came up with my booking, I expected them to advocate for me as their customer—but instead, they immediately sided with the hotel without even making a genuine effort to understand my situation.
It felt like Expedia’s priority was protecting their partnership with the hotel rather than helping the person who actually paid for the reservation. Every interaction with their support team was exhausting—long wait times, scripted responses, and no real solutions. I was passed around from one representative to another, each one less helpful than the last.
What’s most disappointing is the complete lack of accountability. Instead of taking responsibility or trying to resolve the issue fairly, they simply defaulted to agreeing with the hotel, leaving me stuck and out of pocket. If you value your time, money, and peace of mind, I strongly recommend booking directly with hotels instead of using Expedia. At least then you’ll know who you’re dealing with—because with Expedia, don’t expect support when you actually need it.

I booked a rental car through Route cars on Expedia. The company sent me an email stating that local people with Colorado driver's licenses are not permitted to rent cars.

DO NOT BOOK THROUGH EXPEDIA! I would give zero stars if I could. Booked a hotel through them. When contacting the hotel, we were told there was no reservation made and we needed to contact Expedia. When trying to contact Expedia, multiple calls and chat were ended for no reason. Expedia continued to say that it was confirmed on their side. Due to it being a non-refundable booking, they would not refund us, even though we had no reservation made from the hotel side. Absolutely terrible customer service and is a fraud!

Do NOT use this company. I booked a flight on March 14 and paid extra for insurance so I could make changes or cancel if needed. When I contacted customer service to change my return date, the representative was very rude and rushed me, saying I only had two minutes to review the information. He then told me the insurance only works within 15 days of purchase. This was never clearly stated on the website. They make it seem like you’re fully covered, but that’s not true. This feels very misleading and untrustworthy. Please be careful before booking or purchasing their insurance, or flights.

I made a mistake of just booking through them instead of directly with the airlines like I usually do. When the airline made a schedule change and emailed about the change, I tried to call WestJet first as the email stated to do, as I would miss that flight they rescheduled me for. They told me due to it being booked through Expedia I would need to speak with them.
Expedia, LIED to me and tried to tell me that the ticket I book did not allow for changes but if I wanted to change my flight I could pay a change fee, plus some other plus some other fee and then the difference of the flight. When I told the agent that I booked a ticket that allowed for flight changes without a fee, “conveniently” his phone wasn’t work, it started to cut in and out, he would pretend not to hear me, I told him his phone was not working and suddenly he could hear me again. Told me I needed to keep the call professional after he just acted like a child.
I told him he needed to put me on with a different agent who’s phone worked or get a new phone. He then started to yell at me. I hung up as I was not about to deal with some guy acting like a child. After many calls of being the middle man between WestJet and Expedia. Expedia suddenly recognized that my ticket allowed for changes and changed the flight to the later time. Goodbye to 6 hours of life.

Expedia is TERRIBLE!!!! DO NOT BOOK WITH EXPEDIA!!! We booked a hotel and round trip flight with Expedia to Las Vegas. I was able to call the hotel direct and get a MUCH better rate than Expedia offered. As a result, I canceled the hotel with Expedia within the time frame to not receive a cancellation fee. I felt that I it was taking WAY too long to get refunded the nearly $500 that Expedia owed me. Good luck trying to find an actual phone number or speak to anyone that even remotely speaks English!! I demanded to know when my refund was processed by Expedia and when my bank actually received the refund to process.
The date that they showed me that the bank processed to refund was total BS, and my bank informed me that they never received anything from Expedia. We are now going on 20 business days and the bank still has not received any refund. I am going to go through my bank's fraud department to have the charges reversed. DO NOT BOOK THROUGH EXPEDIA!!!

Expedia promoted a motel/Inn on their website that I booked having confidence in the presentation. As it turns out the pictures contained in the advertisement didn't look anything like I found when I got to the location. The "Inn" was rundown, in need of maintenance, and the rooms were the smallest I have ever seen and smelled musty. I didn't stay, I never even formally check in. The staff told me they were keeping my money because I didn't cancel 24 hrs in advance. I called Expedia for help and all I got was the rep called the hotel and told me they said no refund and he would have to wait to talk to the manager. Expedia takes no responsibility for the falsity in advertisement and isn't motivated to assist me beyond a phone call. I even bought the insurance which is apparently also a waste of money. Don't use Expedia. There are many options out there that actually stand behind the customers.

Ok... I booked a van thru Expedia for Thrifty rent a car waterloo ontario on weber street. The booking was smooth online... about 1 hour late Thrifty called and said they had no van available...

I lost hundreds of dollars and just was requesting $40 in the failed Hertz rental. Expedia refused to acknowledge fault or provide compensation/credit for the $40. Do not book with Expedia.

DO NOT! I REPEAT DO NOT do business with this company. They contract with providers who will not be staffed to provide you with your vehicle when you arrive. Delayed flights happen ALL THE TIME.

They will not refund you and they will act like it is your fault your flight was delayed, leave your stranded and not take responsibility for not having appropriate protocols in place to handle situations common in this industry.

My confirmed reservation was canceled with no meaningful explanation. No documentation, no specific reason, only vague language and scripted apologies. When you are traveling for important plans, that level of opacity is unacceptable. This cancellation involved an ex-Sonder building. What makes the situation even more telling is that the same property, when booked through Hotels.com for my family members, resulted in them being rebooked into a similar accommodation at the same price after the cancellation. In other words, another platform stepped in, honored the rate, and resolved the issue responsibly. Expedia did not.
The original rate was very competitive. When a confirmed booking at a favorable price is canceled without a clear justification, it inevitably raises concern about whether the unit may be relisted at a higher price. If that occurs, it would resemble a classic bait-and-switch scenario, something consumers should be extremely cautious about.
If I discover that the same accommodation is relisted at a higher rate for the same dates, New York consumer protection law, including General Business Law §349, which prohibits deceptive business practices, would apply, and I will update this review accordingly. A travel platform’s responsibility is to stand behind confirmed reservations and protect customers when problems arise. In this case, there was no meaningful effort to secure a comparable alternative, no escalation, and no accountability, only apologies. Travel plans involve real commitments and real consequences. Reliability matters. After this experience, it is unfortunately not surprising to see the consistently low ratings Expedia receives online, my experience aligns with what many other customers appear to be reporting.

I recently booked a flight to Japan through Expedia. I specifically wanted a premium economy flight. I paid more than I would have elsewhere for the specific airline, seat category and timing of my choice. However, apparently expedia is able to change flights 7 days in either direction of the date you picked without involving you in the change. This happened twice, the second time resulting in me losing our premium economy seats.
First off, if this is the policy it needs to be VERY clear and signed off on by the consumer. I'd have never chosen expedia if I understand this was a potential risk. Second, it took me 3 different calls/chats and over 5 hours of my time to get this resolved. Ultimately I lost my premium economy flight for one leg and had to basically beg for a refund. They would not have offered if I hadn't called, waited and asked. I went from a very nice premium economy seat to literally the second to last seat in economy. I've never had issues with expedia hotel reservations and thought I'd have been safe with their flights... Buyer beware... Do NOT book flights through expedia.

I booked 3 tickets through Expedia while my friend booked the exact same flight directly with Air France at the same time. We both initially saw the same price. My friend managed to complete his booking quickly, but when I tried to proceed, Expedia’s screen showed an error. When I went back, the price had suddenly increased by $400 per ticket.
I tried a couple more times, and Expedia then showed the higher price along with a message saying “only 3 tickets left.” Under pressure and out of desperation, I booked at the higher price. Shockingly, within 15 minutes, the price dropped back down by $400 per ticket. This felt like a deliberate psychological pricing tactic — a mind game played by Expedia. Unfortunately, this is not the first time I’ve experienced such behavior with them.
When I called Expedia customer service, I was told the tickets were non-refundable and that the 24-hour cancellation policy did not apply. Meanwhile, my friend called Air France directly and was clearly told that they offer a full refund within 24 hours. This experience has completely destroyed my trust in Expedia. I genuinely feel cheated and misled. I had already stopped using Flair Airlines due to poor customer service, and now Expedia seems to be going down the same path — using smart technology and pressure tactics to extract more money from customers while hiding behind fine print. I will never book with Expedia again and strongly advise others to book directly with airlines to avoid situations like this.

I tried three different cards to book my father's flight (YUL-CMB), and they rejected every single one just to avoid honouring the price. They are untrustworthy 'crooks' who treat customers with zero respect. I’m deleting my account and warning everyone to stay away.

We booked a trip to Spain in August 2025, through AARP Travel/Expedia. We arrived in Barcelona on October 04, 2025, and our hotel told us that Expedia (engine) had cancelled our booking. We had to rebook rooms with the hotel. We tried getting money back from AARP Travel, but they told us that we had to go through Expedia. It's been 3 months, dozens of emails and calls. Excuses from I cancelled the reservation to the hotel cancelling the reservation. The worst travel experiences I ever had in 50 years.

I booked a hotel with Expedia last year. I did cancel it almost immediately because I found a different hotel that suited our needs better. Six months later they charged me for one night each for the two rooms I had reserved. The customer service agent told me that he was sorry for my inconvenience but that there was a glitch from their system to the hotel. Expedia customer service was very nice and apologetic but that doesn’t give me my money back. Oh then he said that there was a cancellation fee and I said, "Oh no there isn’t because I canceled it soon enough for that to not happen." Definitely don’t recommend using Expedia!

I would leave zero stars if I could. I purchased insurance but was told that my itinerary was nonrefundable. I usually do not book through Expedia, as I prefer to book through the specific hotel website, and my experience has confirmed that this is what I should continue to do. I will never book through expedia again. It is helpful for seeing what hotels are available in the area, but I would never recommend booking through their site, as you run the risk of the itinerary being nonrefundable, whereas when booking through specific hotel sites, changes and cancellations are almost always fully refundable up to a certain date. My travel is a full month in advance, but I can only change it if I eat the cost of my current itinerary and rebook either with expedia or elsewhere. Avoid booking through this website, it is never worth it. You can get the same rates through specific hotel websites without running any risks. Please learn from my mistake.

I prepaid Expedia $325.34 for a rental car that was supposed to be $455.36. When I went to pick up the car they did not have it for our agreed upon price. First they said I had to pay $49.99 per day for their toll pass or a $3,000 deposit if I didn't take it; even though I wasn't using toll roads. We were then told they need a copy of our insurance AND declaration page. Luckily I had the app on my phone to even access that. After that we were told our full coverage insurance wasn't good enough (it's good enough for my car loan though???)! We have GREAT insurance through State Farm. So they said we had to purchase their $200/day insurance. They handed us a bill for $2,400 at this point for all these extra "fees." I told them where to stick that bill and they said good luck. All while the girl was behind the counter singing and dancing in her chair with a smile while she is giving us all of this bad news.
They told me the price was $2,400. I walked outside and another lady was poaching customers that were leaving. She tried to rent us a car "off the books" and showing me the price on her phone calculator. Like what?! It was the craziest experience I have ever had! I have tried reaching out to Expedia several times and getting slow responses saying that they're looking into it. The agreement was I pay $325.34 ahead and the remaining $95.36 when I pick up the car. The rental company lady said I can cancel with no fees but Expedia has still not returned the funds. They said they cannot reach the car company (shocker). This was a scary experience because I was sitting outside this scam rental company with my husband and 2 kids with some lady trying to poach us in a sketchy part of town, and could not find a car to rent anywhere.
We only rented here because it was a last minute trip and it was the only place that had cars. Everyone was booked. There is a different company right next door. We found out they were not affiliated and they had a car someone didn't pick up so we got super lucky and got a rental (after spending 2 hours trying to figure something out)! This place should be shut down. I will be reporting to BBB and anywhere I can so that no one else has to experience this. I am also disappointed in Expedia that it's been almost a month and no resolution. What a story though!

They are not transparent with refunds. They refused to process a refund and said they couldn’t contact the airline. No alternatives or solutions were offered, which shows poor customer service. They were not open to providing a refund and did not make any effort to coordinate with the airline on my behalf. Instead of offering support or alternative solutions, they simply passed the responsibility to another party. No other options were given to help resolve the issue, such as rebooking, travel credit, or partial compensation.
Overall, their lack of transparency, accountability, and willingness to help reflects poor customer service. Customers should be clearly informed about refund policies and supported when problems arise.

In September 2025, Expedia acknowledged issues with a car rental booked through their platform and promised me 7,000 reward points (USD $70) as compensation. Multiple agents confirmed in writing that the points had been issued. Four months later, they still have not appeared. What followed was a series of contradictory messages. Different agents told me I was enrolled in Expedia Rewards, then that I wasn't; that I was enrolled in OneKeyCash, then that I wasn't. One agent asked for my email address while replying to it. At one point, Expedia renamed our email thread to "Penalty Waiver Request," a completely unrelated matter.
Throughout this process, Expedia has repeatedly insisted I must resolve this by phone—despite the entire matter being documented in writing and entirely within their control to fix. As recently as January 3, 2026, they attempted to call me again and sent another email demanding a callback, rather than simply honouring their written commitment. For a BBB-accredited business with an A+ rating, this pattern of unfulfilled promises, contradictory information, and avoidance is unacceptable.

When I went to check out I hit send and realized the dates were wrong so I contacted the company immediately and they told me they would have to reach out to the hotel.
Of course the hotel will not work with them, but after contacting the hotel, it made sense because it’s a third-party website so technically it is on Expedia to fix the error. All I wanted was to change the dates and they would not work with me so I was out money and ended up booking with the hotel directly. That was very nice and friendly.

I have been using Expedia for years, but my recent experience has shown me serious issues with their customer service, internal communication, and refund handling processes. I spent over six hours on the phone being transferred, placed on extremely long holds, given conflicting information, and repeatedly told things that were later proven incorrect. I was originally trying to use a travel credit from a cancelled flight. Expedia claimed that the airline (Bahamasair) was charging additional fees and causing a large fare difference.
When I contacted the airline directly, they confirmed the opposite. Bahamasair explained to me that:
• Expedia modified my ticket incorrectly, which caused the reservation to become locked on their end.• The fare was actually lower than my travel credit, meaning I was owed money, not charged more.
• A fare quote refund was available, and only Expedia could fix it.
Even after presenting this information, I experienced prolonged delays and several agents repeating inaccurate details. I had to ask for agent IDs, case numbers, and escalate multiple times before reaching someone who finally acknowledged the mistake and processed the refund correctly. The experience was mentally exhausting and unnecessarily complicated. It should not require hours of persistence and outside verification just to receive accurate information and proper assistance.
To their credit, the refund was eventually processed, and the funds did return to my account. I appreciate the final agent who helped resolve the issue. However, the overall process revealed:
• Poor training of frontline agents• Miscommunication between Expedia and airlines
• Lack of accountability
• Excessive hold times
• Incorrect explanations given with confidence
• Difficulty accessing departments that can actually resolve technical issues
Travelers deserve transparency, accuracy, and quicker escalation pathways. I hope Expedia reviews situations like this to improve the experience for future customers.

This review is for rental car booked as part of the bundle via Expedia!! ⭐ Zezgo Car Rental – One of the Worst Rental Experiences I've Had. I booked a hotel and car rental package through Expedia in Fort Lauderdale. The hotel was fine, but Zezgo car rental at Miami Airport (MIA) was by far the worst rental experience I’ve ever had.
2. Extremely slow service (45–60 minutes wait). Even with a prepaid reservation, it took nearly an hour to get a car. Each customer took 20–25 minutes because agents were busy upselling insurance and toll packages.
3. Pushy upselling. They aggressively tried to sell add-ons. I had to pull up my insurance documents to prove I was already covered.
4. Poor communication. There were no clear instructions for vehicle return. I had to call customer service to understand the process.
5. Low-quality, high-mileage cars. The SUV they gave me had over 68,000 miles, maintenance lights were on, and it clearly wasn’t in good condition.
6. $1,000 credit card hold. Much higher than major rental companies.
7. No option for different drop-off locations. I picked up the car at MIA and wanted to return it at FLL, but neither Expedia nor Zezgo supported that option.
Overall: Avoid Zezgo and avoid car rentals through Expedia bundles. This company seems to rely on low base fares and then makes up the difference through upselling and fees. I’ve rented cars many times and this was easily the most frustrating and poorly managed experience. I would strongly recommend choosing another rental company.

Never, ever use this company. Tried to cancel a substandard room in a hotel that was housing the homeless and they charged my anyway. They told me to rebook another hotel, which I did (through them) and they still charged me for both. I will never use them or any of their other sites for travel again!

I purchased a round trip flight from Lima to Cuzco and a hotel room in Cuzco. When I purchased , it said I have 24 hours for free cancellation. I cancelled a few hours later so I could book an earlier flight and Expedia returned the flight money but kept 890 for hotel saying the hotel’s policy is no refunds. They told me they called and emailed the hotel to get my money back. I called the hotel and they told me Expedia has not written them or called them. In fact, they never got my money since I bought and cancelled the same day. They told me Expedia has my money. I have spent over 20k over 20 years with Expedia but never again. They are dishonest.

I searched Expedia for car companies inside the Honolulu Airport. They matched me with a company which I thought would be inside the airport since my search parameters were the airport. It turns out the company is a one hour walk outside the airport and only accessible via shuttle. The rental company also has horrendous reviews online with pages of one star reviews and lots of pictures on broken, damaged cars being rented. Lots of reviewers calling the company service horrible and a scam company. Expedia support refused to acknowledge any responsibility at all when I tried to cancel. They refused any responsibility whatsoever for the company not being at the airport and zero responsibility for the horrible company reviews and damaged cars being rented. Even after explaining that I had medical problems that made it necessary to rent inside the airport the customer support just said "sorry for the inconvenience."

Expedia, manager Hector came through yesterday with a major refund toward the cost of my stay (that was charged to my account by The Sebastian in Vail, CO.) I wish to express my thanks for their relentless attempts to contact The Sebastian with no cooperation from The Sebastian.
My recommendation is there are many places to stay in the village in Vail, CO so look around for a place with more cooperative management. We can’t control flight cancellations. Evidently insuring a reservation at The Sebastian means nothing to their managing staff. Select another lovely place for your visit and have a great vacation.

Updated on 10/30/2025: The assistant manager, Robert was of no assistance in helping me file claim with my travelers insurance. He actually refused to talk to them or made himself completely unavailable. Expedia finally stepped up out of respect and integrity and reimbursed me for a part of the expense. The Sebastian would contact no one and provide no accurate information to my travel insurance company. I would advise checking out some different locations with more customer friendly policies and more courteous business practices. I hope you have a wonderful vacation and I hope know one has to experience the level of disappointment and frustration I experienced dealing with the Sebastian.
Updated on 10/29/2025: I continue to be in contact with Expedia. I insured a trip through their site by Generali Travel insurance. It was initially impossible to contact Expedia. They have so many blocks in place through AI response to calls, it requires a learning journey and eventually a most unusual manner to actually reach a person to talk with. The Sebastian in Vail CO, advised me by Robert, the assistant manager, that he could not cancel the reservation. He said Expedia had to cancel but he had no phone number for them. He could provide me with no way to reach Expedia.
I finally found Expedia’s number through a third party and called them today. They called the Sebastian and now claim the Sebastian will not refund my money. The Generali travel insurance is trying to process my claim but neither Expedia or the Sebastian will provide the invoice with charges to Generali Travel Insurance. They are both providing conflicting stories to me. At this point, I will pursue this from every direction I can because it appears to be a concerted effort between the two to prevent the refunding of reservations, which are required to be paid in full in advance, except for a couple of hundred dollars in fees. They recommend insuring the stay, then refuse to honor the request the insurance companies make to them to process claim and make refunds to clients. Please don’t use Expedia for hotel reservations and do not make reservations at the Sebastian in Vail, CO. This will be your worst nightmare.
Original Review: Easy to make reservation through Expedia. A nightmare to get assistance to cancel hotel reservation after flight delayed then cancelled. Trip issued through Expedia by Generali no assistance whatsoever in helping to get claim processed with Generali. I will never use Expedia again.

On October 26th, 2025, after driving all day, I used Expedia to book a room in Idaho Falls at a Super 8 motel. According to the app, there were multiple options for rooms. I chose a room that was pet friendly and completed the transaction. I was literally minutes from this hotel when I booked the room through Expedia. When I approached the front desk assistant and told her I had a reservation, she told me there was no such reservation under my name and that they had no rooms available. She apologized, but told me that this was not the first time she had experienced this issue with clients who booked through Expedia. She apologized even though it was not her fault and helped me by calling around to other local hotels.
I use the virtual assistant in Expedia, and eventually was transferred to, what I think was an actual human, who ultimately told me they would have to contact the hotel and it would take up to seventy two hours to resolve the issue. I would highly recommend NOT using Expedia for your travel needs. I requested immediate reimbursement the next morning. Had to chat with a bot. And was told it would be up to seventy two hours before someone would get back to me. And they would get back to me via email with no guarantee that I would be reimbursed. A good company would immediately reimburse their client and pay for the hotel that they had to stand for their inconvenience. Best, Bob from Colorado.

I am in the midst of a nightmare situation with Expedia and their customer service must be run by bots as all they offer is meaningless slogans instead of correcting their own errors. I was booking a hotel stay in Warsaw and unfortunately there were changing circumstances as to the length of the trip and whether my partner could accompany me - over time, I made three reservations for the same hotel but for either one or two person and different length of stay, and ultimately cancelled all of them. Unfortunately, due to some computer glitch on their part, the last cancellation went through on my end but not on theirs. So I kept getting notices about my upcoming trip while it showed as cancelled and no active trips on my end! Reaching a human on expedia is close to impossible but I left a survey feedback describing the situation - to no avail.
The hotel told me that expedia needs to reach out to them in order to clarify their error - no amount of live chat with expedia could solve the problem even after I sent them print out showing no active reservations as of two days before the alleged hotel stay. Then they started "explaining" that the problem is that I sent the proof of no active reservations from a different email address than the original one on file with them - really???? Ok, so I resent it from the original email address. Now they saying that they are "still chasing" the hotel and are demanding that I send them credit card statements with charges for all three cancelled reservations.
I do not remember what credit card I used for each of them, there is no way to see that on my page on expedia, and do not want to spend time going through all the multiple credit cards I have to check for any possible charges, not to mention that I am on the trip and do not have secure internet for now, not to also mention that I do not have printer access and who in their sane mind would forward entire credit card statements to such a shoddy business!!!! I will NEVER book anything through them again and strongly advise people to think twice before doing so - they do not take ownership of their errors, do not rectify them promptly but instead harass the customers with idiotic, nuisance demands instead of apologizing and fixing the mess they created.

Recently responded to an Expedia Offer for round trip airline tickets from CVG (Cincinnati) to LHR (Heathrow). Chose offer with up charge for ECONOMY SELECT PRO—slightly roomier seats, refundable, “seat choice”, free checked bag, and some other perks (meals and drinks). The up charge for these tickets was over $300, closer to $400 per round trip ticket.
When we tried to preselect our seats, which had to be done through British Airways, we were made aware that it would be $137 per seat, per way to preselect seats prior to a 24 hour preflight window, and everyone at both British Airways and Expedia were very unconcerned that the online offer had referenced “seat choice” as one of the included features of the ECONOMY SELECT PRO option. So be forewarned when selecting this option that the true cost of your flight will be at least an additional $274 (depending on seat choice) than the “deal” that Expedia is offering, if you want to preselect your seats prior to 24 hours prior.

There were no rooms available for the night anymore, so the hotel turned us away and we had to find a hotel on our own. We called Expedia and were ensured that we would be compensated for our situation and we had nothing to worry about, we just needed to call them back the next day when they could speak to the hotel manager.
When we called back, they said the hotel was not cooperating so they could not issue a refund. This was entirely the fault of Expedia and a technical issue, so they should have provided us a refund, and if they wanted to dispute with the hotel they could do that, but we shouldn't have to wait on them to do that. We never did get a refund and had to dispute with our credit card.

When we got to the desk the agent said he had seen our booking but expedia had cancelled it as we were late (by the way Expedia say they do not cancel). I said "oh what do we do" the agent said "we can rent you a car at 585 GBP for the week", our original booking was $221 Canadian dollars so a substantial increase. We left the room and went to the main reception and booked another car on expedia at the price of $219 on the Expedia website.
We returned to the agent and I got the impression there were not happy with the new price. We showed them our printed Insurance coverage which we have through our business credit card and they refused to accept it, and to be honest they did not even look at it. My husband and I talked privately about the situation and he was very upset as we were in the UK to attend his Mums funeral, so we decided to cancel the car and get a relative to pick us up. I spoke to the agent explained the situation asked if I could cancel and he said no problem and gave me his condolences. On arriving back in Canada we have been charged for both bookings for a total of $440. I of course got in touch with Expedia and explained that there was a mistake and they contacted Green Motion who have refused to refund our money.
To clarify we never got a car, and on a human level I cannot believe that Expedia and Green Motion are treating us this way at one of the worse times in our lives. I really thought it was a mistake, but they are saying that as we were late they are within their rights to charge the full price and that as we decided to cancel because of insurance they again can take our money. My advice do not use this Company, and do not use Expedia who are accepting Green Motions decision and are still advertising them on their website.

I had one of the worst experiences with Expedia and will never use them again. I had booked two flights for my employees to travel to DC for work. When bad weather moved in on the travel days, the trip became pointless since they would not be able to work. I called Expedia customer service and after waiting over an hour, I finally got a live person. At first, I was told I wasn’t eligible for a refund, but after being placed on hold multiple times, the agent came back and said he was able to cancel the flights and issue a full refund—or so I thought.
A couple of days later, only one refund came through. I called back, waited again, and was told the issue was “escalated” and I’d hear back in 72 hours. That never happened. When I followed up again, I was told I had only requested cancellation for one ticket, not both. That is absolutely not true—I made it clear both needed to be canceled. I asked for the call recordings (since they claimed to have reviewed them), and they promised I could receive them. Instead, I later got an email saying they cannot provide me with the tapes.
So let me get this straight: they say they listened to the call, claim I only canceled one ticket, refuse to let me hear the audio, and then deny me a refund on the second ticket. We’re talking about $800. After all this, I wasn’t even asking for cash back—I asked for an Expedia credit to continue using their platform if they just made this right. Even that was too much for them. Expedia is clearly a company that values profit over customers.

We were forced to scramble in the dark after our 6 hour drive to find and pay for additional lodging. We nearly had to sleep in our car.
But the worst part is that Benchmark Management, as well as, Hotels.com (also Expedia) refused to refund us because the stay was labeled “non-refundable”. Look we are reasonable people, we were willing to overlook that the place was a 2 star place in person even though it showed pictures looking like a 4 star. But when the unit is not habitable and is unsanitary with the love bug infestation INSIDE the unit, that is another story and I believe to be a breach of what is acceptable under the term non refundable.
We reached out to Benchmark Management through numerous phone calls, emails and texts to rectify the problem or to provide us another unit to stay in, but unfortunately, we did not hear back from them.

It's like been traumatized over and over (missed a tour of Cancun, waited about 3 hours for a 2 hour round the city tour, no response from Turibus, awful customer experience and no refund from Expedia). Buyer beware that Expedia does not look out for your interests but their cut.

Never will I use any venue that uses Expedia for any part of their service. We booked an important trip in a package deal with another vendor. Expedia was who they used for the airport to hotel/hotel to airport shuttle. We waited of around an hour and a half at the airport for a shuttle that never arrived. On my 4th phone call to the shuttle service, they finally told me they didn’t have a shuttle to send. We made other arrangements for each transport. When I attempted to reach Expedia for a refund, their emails “are not monitored”. Their customer service agents (yes plural) disconnect the call as soon as I begin to explain what I am calling for. A total, very frustrating waste of time trying to deal with them. In short, they absolutely suck. Never again!

On Wednesday August 13, 2025, at 2:35pm, I booked a stay at a motel through Expedia.ca for August 30 and 31. I specifically requested 2 rooms with 2 beds per room. The operator assured me multiple times that the one room will have 2 beds, and the second room will have a single queen. However, the hotel can take out the queen and put 2 twin beds. I specifically said to the operator that if this is possible then yes, let’s book. Once at the hotel the motel manager was shocked to hear that the operator confirmed the 2 rooms, however the configuration of the rooms cannot be changed. At this point I was stuck paying for a room ($514.72) I could not use, and I could not cancel without a cancellation charge.
I called Expedia to try to resolve the issue, and they sent me to a third-party company called Reservation Counter. My reservation Itinerary Number is ** and I spoke to the operator and supervisor and specifically told them that I was led to believe that what I requested would be available to me upon my arrival. Both the supervisor and operator were indifferent to my situation stating, “they will put in a request to the Escalations Team”. I received an email saying they will respond in 5 to 7 business days, and nobody has contacted me yet. Since then, I have filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and also filed a complaint with the Canadian Department of Consumer Protection (Competition Bureau). Shame on you Expedia! What you’re doing to people is criminal.

Never book a car rental through Expedia. I booked a rental for Enterprise Exotic Cars, because I wanted to drive up the Pacific Coast Highway in a fancy car, because it’s on my bucket list. Well, when I showed up to pick up my car, I was dumbfounded to learn Expedia booked it through Alamo and not Enterprise. I clearly had all the documentation that showed an Enterprise Car reservation. When I called because they ruined my trip, they tried to tell me I booked it incorrectly. That’s BS because I never got any documentation from Alamo before my rental car pick-up. I REPEAT, NEVER BOOK ANYTHING THROUGH EXPEDIA. DO IT DIRECTLY WITH THE COMPANY. That included rental cars, flights, activities, and everything else they offer.

Short version: Expedia booked us with a car rental company that took our money and did not deliver the car as promised. We booked flight, car rental and hotel through Expedia. Common sense lead us to believe when we search for car rentals from LAX we would see appropriate offers and prices. Not knowing specific addresses or the locale, we assumed the offers matched our requirements. The website does not warn when search results do not meet your requirements! Somehow, the first car rental reservation was for pick-up hours prior to our arrival. So, you have to constantly check and double check everything because the clunky website does not not assist in any useful way as far as we can tell.
We were booked with 24Seven Car Rental (who the he!! is that?). I uploaded proof of insurance to 24Seven as requested. They told us it would cost $140 just to re-open the reservation to make ANY changes but we agreed because we needed to pick up from their airport location. I made the changes and agreed to the extra charge and was told it would have to be paid at the counter on arrival. We followed what little instruction we had and navigated LAX shuttles to the Economy Parking. We were instructed to find the "Priceless/Nextcar" shuttle at that location but the driver would not let us board. There was no explanation why the company changed but the reservation number matched.
Our phones were dead so we had to find an outlet in the deserted parking garage and charge up a bit. Kind of felt like a scene from a horror movie. 24Seven phones were forwarded to somebody's cell phone but we just got the message that voice mail, "has not been set up, please try again later". We showed the driver our reservation and he finally let us board the shuttle. After winding around we were dropped off at some back lot behind a hotel where there was a Priceless counter. We gave our reservation number and she told us we were in the wrong City and she reiterated the original reservation details. She did not have the update. Ok, so why did Priceless emails/texts direct us to that shuttle and that location?
They don't have any other shuttle to any other location from LAX's econ parking. So, the instructions and directions were based on the updated reservation but the desk clerk refused to look into it and instead claimed that there was nothing in their system whatsoever under our names or reservation number. She had no explanation how it all disappeared while we stood there. The desk clerk then told us she did not have any cars for rent and there was nothing she could do. At this point we assumed we were victims to some elaborate scam with fake locations, etc. Our nightmare was only getting worse. We left but the clerk was not kind enough to open the gate so we had to walk by the garbage dumpster and loading dock through some back alley to get out where we ordered an Uber.
We canceled that credit card but the original booking had already gone through. 24Seven has not replied to our request for a refund. I do not appreciate having no one accountable after being bounced around among irreputable companies that I've never even heard of. I paid for a week's car rental but all I got through Expedia was the absolute worst, most frustrating car rental experience ever! So, now I get to try and let some AI bot try to fix my problem but that is not working because they are not programmed to give back money or solve real problems. You have been warned about Expedia, 24SevenCarRental.com, Priceless/Nextcar.

However, when I arrived, I discovered the rental location was 5 miles away from the airport, not at the airport as shown during booking. This misinformation alone caused unnecessary confusion and stress. To make matters worse, the rental location closed at 9:30 PM, and my delayed flight meant I couldn’t pick up the car that night. The next morning at 8:00 AM, I went to the rental office, only to be told there were no cars available. The staff confirmed that since I didn’t pick up the vehicle, I wouldn’t be charged.
When I called Expedia, the representative assured me it was a simple case — I would get a full refund plus compensation for the inconvenience. Instead, Expedia failed to promptly process my refund and completely ignored the additional expenses I incurred, such as multiple Uber rides to and from the airport and the off-site rental location. They eventually did not refund the money, and also caused significant hassle, wasted hours of my time, and cost me money that should never have been spent — all because of Expedia’s misleading listing and poor resolution process. I will be avoiding Expedia in the future, and I strongly recommend others do the same.

However, these additional items are not included in their receipts which I didn't notice, and then I ask for refund but they won't because no item listed in the receipt!

I wrote a negative review of Expedia but they eventually refund the money they took for a cancelled 3 day hotel. It was very difficult but they did it. I will have to give them credit for that. Many calls and threats but it did come through.

I booked a motel for a needy family in Pennsylvania as they waited for my apartment to be finished in rehabilitation but minutes I discovered that they had gotten housing. So I called Expedia and they assured me that they could get the money back. But 2 days later they contended they couldn't refund the money. That's theft (no services rendered, goods received in return). Do not book with Expedia!

I am writing to express my deep disappointment with Expedia’s handling of my recent booking. I reserved a balcony cabin through Expedia, which prominently advertised a $200 onboard credit as a perk for booking with them. In the detailed itinerary email attachment, the terms stated that the offer required online redemption more than 21 days prior to sailing, and that the cruise must be paid in full before submission. I complied fully—submitting the redemption form on April 11th, the very same day I paid the balance in full. My sailing date was August 3rd, well beyond the 21-day requirement.
Despite meeting every condition, when I reviewed my room bill during my cruise last week, there was no onboard credit applied. Upon returning, I contacted Expedia immediately. Instead of acknowledging the issue, I was questioned about whether I submitted the form at all and even asked if I took a screenshot of the submission confirmation. Realistically, why would a loyal customer anticipate needing to document a Jotform submission from such a large, established company?
To make matters worse, I was told that unless I can provide proof of submission, my only recourse is to dispute the charge with my credit card company. I have booked over a dozen trips with Expedia in the past, but this experience has left me disheartened, discouraged, and questioning whether large companies like Expedia truly value loyal customers. The lack of accountability and follow-through is unacceptable. I hope this feedback is taken seriously, as this experience has caused me to reconsider using Expedia for future travel.

Expedia. Apparently I can't leave a review on their website right now coincidentally after I've been emailing them with complaints so I figured I'd leave it here instead. They are falsely listing their hotels near tourist attractions they are not near. I had booked at the Quality Hotel shown because it was apparently under 5KM from the Biodome and a short driving distance to all the popular tourist attractions listed below. Well I got to Montreal and went to the hotel. Lo and behold it is over double the KM from the Biodome then listed and every single attraction they listed had the wrong driving time estimates. It is nowhere near any of the attractions below.
I had called Expedia right away to speak with an agent and she gave me 3 options; A) pay an extra $500 for 3 nights to be in the area of Montreal I already paid to be in as far as I was aware, B) get a full refund and have no hotel or C) get reimbursed for the Uber fares because they were over double of what they should of been due to the hotel being further than listed so I picked that option. I came home from my trip having to pay for multiple Uber rides. Around $30 to get to all these "close" by attractions so I sent them the bills as I had previously talked to an agent and she had opened a case for me, well they wanted to refund me in Expedia points. After my first call I made it clear I didn't want to be paying crazy amounts of money in Uber fares because they are falsely advertising this hotel to be near all the attractions we had already bought tickets to go do.
I made it clear I would be needing multiple rides and the cost roughly of each ride. She confirmed it never saying anything about points just to try and give me points like I would want to book again with agents who can't do the bare minimum of not falsely advertising listings? They never said a refund in Expedia points at any point during the call and called it an action of "goodwill" like they aren't falsely listing it to be near tourist attractions. The amount of mistakes on that listing it seems more like a money grab than a mistake on the listing. Especially now that I've emailed them with proof and all the false information is still listed for that hotel for the same exact thing to happen to someone else!
They are extremely unprofessional and I would double check anything they have listed. With the amount of tourist attractions it is supposed to be close to and for it not near any of the ones listed plus the lack of fixing their errors I can't believe that it's anything more than they are falsely advertising to get tourists to over pay for a hotel in a bad section of Montreal.

I booked a prepaid rental car through Expedia, expecting a straightforward experience. Instead, it turned into weeks of wasted time, unexpected charges, and repeated broken promises. When I arrived to pick up the car from Routes, I was charged an additional $228.39 for a Collision Damage Waiver (CDW)—a charge I did not authorize or agree to, and that was never clearly disclosed in Expedia’s booking process. Expedia later confirmed the prepaid amount I paid to them only covered the “base rate,” but did not make this clear before purchase.
Worse, I’ve had to chase both Expedia and Routes for answers. I repeatedly requested escalation. Calls were scheduled for specific times—yet Expedia failed to call me at the agreed time multiple times, including once at 3:51 AM on a Sunday morning, and another time simply not calling at all. Even after confirming my availability (3–4 PM Eastern on two separate days), they called outside that window and claimed I was unreachable.
Throughout this process, Expedia has claimed to “be here to help” and “ensure a smooth travel experience,” but my experience has been the opposite—frustrating, costly, and time-consuming. I also found more cost-effective rental options outside of Expedia, which I would have booked if the pricing had been transparent from the start. I will not be using Expedia again and caution others to double-check terms and compare direct pricing before booking. This experience has been far from smooth, helpful, or customer-focused.

I have used Expedia three times in my life, the most recent today, and my experience each time has been so bad I kick myself for returning to them. My previous bad experiences were with hotel bookings, both nightmare level situations. This time it’s for a rental car which I, very stupidly, thought might be different. Expedia did not inform me I would be REQUIRED to purchase rental insurance in the country I’m renting in (Ireland) so the discount I received by using them was instantly deleted by having to pay an obscene amount for the required insurance. Again there was no mention of any requirements in any Expedia documents. Expedia is a scam. They flash discounts at you to get you to book with them but in my experience there is always a catch or something goes wrong and the trip becomes a nightmare.

I asked them to remove my phone number so that I can add it to my new account and they could not do it either and I cannot add it to my new account because their app did not allow duplicate number. Then, the representative proceeded to tell me to get another number for the new account. What kind of scumbag is this? He thinks I have money to throw away to get a new number for Expedia???

On March 2, 2025 my son sent me his plans to be married in Vancouver on July 25, 2025. I began to plan the trip with my wife and daughter among other things by booking a car through Expedia on March 2, 2025 with Economy Car Rental in Richmond, BC. The price was competitive and although the car rental agency was not located at the airport, I was assured I would be shuttled to the office where the vehicle would be picked up. A week before my flight in July, I contacted Economy Car Rental and they again assured me that I could contact them from the airport and a shuttle would be sent to pick up my wife, my daughter and myself in a to bring us to the vehicle.
When we arrived at the airport and retrieved our luggage, I contacted Economy Car Rental agency by phone as I was instructed. The agent from Economy began to ask questions about my booking and acted like they had no record of my reservation, After many pauses and “holds” in the conversation they finally admitted to locating my booking. She then said they could send a shuttle to pick us up but it would cost me an extra $300.
I was beside myself and repeated to the agent my process of booking the reservation and their service, etc. and telling her that no mention of an extra fee for shuttle was ever mentioned to me. Alas this was to no avail. I realized that the original price of $538.07 for a week of car rental had been increased by $300. because of the additional cost of the shuttle service.
I decided to call Expedia for support. I wasn’t about to be scammed by the company for the extra fees. It was difficult to find a phone number for Expedia but when I did find it and called, the customer service agent told me that Expedia bore no responsibility for the car agency’s actions and there was nothing they could do about my dilemma.
Here we were in Vancouver airport in peak tourist season with no car rental. I called all the major car rental agencies and they were all out of vehicles. I finally was able to locate a small company near the airport called “Trust” and they provided me with a vehicle at a higher price but thank goodness we were able to obtain a vehicle.
I guess my bottom line is: Why even use Expedia if they can’t support their “service” they helped facilitate. Economy Car Rental agency took advantage of an off-season price agreement that was made in March to try and squeeze more money from a customer under false pretenses as they had me at an extreme disadvantage. You can imagine that this will be the last time I ever use either of Expedia or Economy Car Rental “services” in the future.

Though the hotel itself was excellent, Expedia’s payment process left much to be desired. After booking on July 10, 2025, and selecting the “pay at hotel” option, I entered my credit card details only to have that card declined at check-in on July 21. We switched to an alternate card for our week-long stay, but upon returning home our autopayments began failing and subscription services were canceled. A call to the credit card issuer revealed that Expedia had performed some kind of activity on our card, which the issuer flagged as suspicious and blocked it.
When I contacted Expedia, they insisted that only banks can block cards, yet my issuer traced the block directly to Expedia’s transaction flag. While I enjoyed the hotel, the lack of transparency in Expedia’s payment process caused unnecessary hassle. I urge Expedia to clarify what triggers card blocks, provide clear payment guidance, and improve communication with customers and issuing banks to prevent future disruptions. We will not be using Expedia again after this experience.

I purchased flight tickets to three different states to visit family for a total of 5 days. For the first state, I only needed a hotel room for 3 days/2 nights. The website autofills the hotel stay for you to match your flight length, and NOT the actual amount of time you'll be staying in one location, so the website autofilled to 5 days. The hotel room is nonrefundable. I understood this, no problem. I changed the dates to the correct length of stay and added my boyfriend that would be staying with me. When I finalized this purchase, the website autofilled the dates again, removed my boyfriend, and reverted my stay to 5 days, past the amount of time I would be staying within that one city, to match my flight dates. I understand this autofill function is meant to be helpful, however, in this scenario, this was a harmful change.
I communicated this to Expedia and through multiple rounds of customer service, have been informed that there's nothing they can do to change this purchase. The hotel will not communicate with me and informed me I have to make the change through Expedia. Expedia said the hotel won't budge on refunding the extra days. It doesn't make sense to book for that length of time when I clearly booked my flights first and knew how long I would be staying in each city. Customer service accused me of lying, however, again, it doesn't make sense that I would book a room for that extended amount of stay. The total price is alarmingly high. An error on their technology is a penalty on my end. Be warned.

I strongly advise against booking flights with Expedia. In my experience, they do not provide the level of support you would expect from a reliable travel agency. I had to cancel a flight due to escalating conflict in the Middle East—specifically a route through Abu Dhabi. At the time, much of the regional airspace, including over Dubai and Qatar, was closed, and many airlines had canceled their flights. Unfortunately, Etihad did not cancel, which I consider irresponsible given the circumstances.
My top priority was safety, so I canceled and booked a new flight through a safer region. Since I purchased the original ticket through Expedia, I expected them to assist with the refund or resolution. Instead, Expedia referred me to the airline, and the airline referred me back to Expedia. Neither took responsibility. This was the day after Iran bombed a U.S. base in Qatar—clearly not a time to be flying through the region. Despite this, Expedia refused to consider the context and relied strictly on rigid policies that made no sense in this situation. If you value responsiveness and advocacy in a crisis, I recommend using a traditional travel agent. They will fight for you—Expedia won’t.

The resort changed our room, and it was cleaner for sure so that is much appreciated but it took foreverrrr for us to get into the second room. Think after so much traveling (connecting flights and all) sitting in the lobby for two hours with hungry overheated children.
The resort for the money is nice, but customer service does lack, when I order room service for food one time the food didn't even come.

Extremely Disappointed – Misleading Hotel Description on Expedia. I booked a bundle package through Expedia for a trip to Cancun from June 30 to July 5, which included round-trip flights from Chicago with Spirit Airlines and a hotel stay at Bsea Cancun Plaza Hotel. I chose Expedia because I trusted their reputation and the detailed descriptions and photos shown on their website. First, the flight experience was smooth and matched what was promised—no complaints there. However, the hotel experience was deeply disappointing and upsetting for both me and my wife.
The photos and descriptions on Expedia were completely misleading. The hotel room shown online looked clean, bright, and modern—with stylish furniture and a spacious layout. In reality, we were given a room directly under the roof with old, worn furniture, a metal bed box, completely rusty metal chairs, and a rusty iron curtain rod on the window. The room was extremely hot upon arrival, and the split AC unit took a long time to cool the space. The bathroom was unacceptable. Every time we used the shower, dirty water remained on the bathroom floor and began flowing toward the room corridor. The listing stated a "shower/tub combination," but there was no bathtub at all. The provided amenities were extremely minimal: one tiny shampoo, one thin sliver of soap, and one roll of toilet paper for two people. The entire room felt neglected and poorly maintained.
On top of the poor room conditions, the beach was also a letdown. The shore and water were filled with thick seaweed and plant matter, making it unappealing and uncomfortable for swimming. That might explain why very few people—mainly children—were even in the water. Despite Cancun’s reputation for beautiful beaches, this area was not clean or inviting. I chose this hotel based on affordability and the positive impression made by Expedia’s listing. But the actual conditions were far below what was advertised. Because we were in a different country and unfamiliar with the local culture and safety concerns—and because this trip was for medical treatment, not vacation—we stayed quiet during the trip and waited until returning to the U.S. to share our experience.
Expedia must do a better job verifying the accuracy of hotel listings, photos, and amenities. Travelers rely on this information, especially when booking in unfamiliar places. In our case, the trust we placed in Expedia was not rewarded. I’m giving Expedia 1 out of 5 stars and urge anyone booking a hotel through them to look for recent reviews and real photos from travelers before making a decision. This was a frustrating and disappointing experience that could have been avoided with more transparency and oversight.
