Unprofessional, inconsiderate, liars. No communication with other parties. Said one thing did another. I can go on and on. I will NEVER use Expedia again. Got charged and never checked in. Canceled and they said I didn’t. Still asked how was my check-in.

I made a reservation for a 3 day stay at a hotel through Expedia, and paid for it right away, BIG MISTAKE. Apparently Expedia then sends a virtual card to the hotel for them to process the payment on. But the amount the hotel charged was $250.00 less than what Expedia said it would be. Expedia told me that is their negotiated discount, and not an amount I get back. What a Scam. DO NOT PAY Expedia, wait to pay at the hotel after your stay. I learned this the hard way unfortunately.

VRBO & Expedia, same company. Booked a reservation with Expedia and was told it was Vrbo who managed the reservation but Vrbo customer portal could not locate my reservation, did not have a booked reservation. The cancellation terms on the Expedia website were not the same as the ones on the Vrbo confirmation and were not received until AFTER reservation was booked.
Cancellation terms are set by Vrbo hosts and you do not receive this information until after you booked the reservation. Credit card was charged as soon as reservation was made. To receive 100% of payment I needed to cancel before a date that was prior to reservation booking date. For example if reservation was booked on May 1, to receive your refund you would have had to cancel before April 15, the date came before the booking date. This was not a typo. Good luck complying with these terms. Host refused to agree to a refund. Don't waste your time trying to resolve issues with customer service or supervisor, do not have the power to resolve, did not understand the issue, may lack knowledge.
ALERT: If you are offered a 50% refund you do not receive 50% of your payment, I did a simple calculation and the actual refund was 39% of total payment. Vrbo does not refund you the management fees or taxes. They keep the taxes. If you are waiting for a refund, good luck you may never see it. I'm still waiting for them to explain how they have a cancellation cut off date that is before the date I booked the reservation. Host refuses to refund the money and Vrbo follows their direction. Will never use these companies again.

Booked tickets international back in March 2026 with Expedia Passport on June 22. I got an email saying airlines canceled my flight, so I called Expedia. They said airlines canceled my flight, call the airline, they Expedia cancel my flight starting using the chat to speak to somebody else because they refuse to send me to a supervisor and now they say I canceled my flight through the app and I asked them to show proof because I’m taking the airlines to Better Business Bureau and they can’t show me proof. So he sent me an email saying, "You canceled your flight" when I ask for proof, when I have all the emails in my flight got canceled, so now if I wanna book the same flight, cost me almost 3 times more and they taking no responsibility.

Avoid booking through Expedia. I would give Zero star or negative star! We paid a premium rate of $535/night for a 5-night stay at Lake Louise Inn because Expedia explicitly advertised "Breakfast Included." When we arrived, the hotel stated breakfast was not included. I spent over 2.5 hours on the phone with Expedia customer service while on vacation. They refused to fix their mistake, honor the advertised rate, or provide an adjustment. For our family of four, breakfast at the hotel costs $40/person daily with taxes and service fees. Expedia’s false advertising forced us to pay an unexpected $800 out of pocket. To resolve this $800 deficit, Expedia insultingly offered a $25 future credit, which I rejected. Expedia advertises amenities they do not deliver and leaves travelers stranded. Do not trust them—book directly with the hotel instead. Do not Trust Expedia.

Expedia says over and over that the price you see is the total price you will pay. This is a lie.

Expedia completely failed us and turned what should have been a family vacation into a stressful and expensive nightmare. When we arrived at the hotel, we immediately felt unsafe and uncomfortable with the conditions of the property. Rather than taking a chance, I contacted Expedia right away to explain the situation and ask for assistance. The Expedia representative instructed me to leave the property immediately while they processed my cancellation and refund request. Trusting Expedia's guidance, I left the hotel and booked another hotel for the remainder of our 3-day vacation. This resulted in additional unexpected expenses, but I followed Expedia's instructions because I believed they were resolving the issue. I even provided proof that I secured alternate accommodations and did not remain at the original property.
After days of communication and being led to believe my case was being handled appropriately, Expedia denied my refund. I am now being charged for a hotel stay that I did not use, despite doing exactly what Expedia told me to do. The most frustrating part is the complete lack of accountability. If Expedia's representatives tell a customer to leave a property immediately, there should be documentation of that conversation and Expedia should stand behind its guidance. Instead, they left me paying for two hotels and fighting for a refund that should never have been denied.

I had a terrible experience booking a rental car in Aruba through Expedia with Thrifty, and I would absolutely not recommend it. Before traveling, I booked and prepaid for a specific car size through Expedia, including a $98 protection plan purchased in the U.S. However, when we arrived in Aruba, everything went wrong. First, Thrifty told us they did not have the car size we had reserved, so they switched us to a different vehicle. On top of that, they charged us even more money for the replacement car.
The worst part was the insurance situation. We were told at the Thrifty counter in Aruba that the protection plan we had already paid for through Expedia was not valid there, and that if we wanted to leave with the car, we had to purchase another protection plan directly from them. We had no real choice at that point. We were basically forced to pay again and were told to contact Expedia later for a refund. Now Expedia is refusing to refund the $98 protection plan that was completely useless in Aruba. So we ended up paying for coverage twice because Expedia sold us a protection plan that Thrifty would not honor at the destination.
This was an extremely frustrating, stressful, and misleading experience. Expedia should not be selling protection plans that are not accepted by the rental company at the actual pickup location, and customers should not have to fight for a refund after being put in that situation. Between the wrong car, extra charges, and the insurance scam-like runaround, this turned into a complete headache and a terrible start to our trip. I expected much better from Expedia and Thrifty. This experience felt disorganized, unfair, and deceptive. I will be very cautious about ever booking a rental car through Expedia again.

The site is cumbersome, slow to react and difficult to locate and utilize a simple customer support messaging.

We booked a room with Expedia. We were not able to get into a room even though we checked in at 4:00 p.m. We were not able to get into a room till 8:47 p.m. because none of the rooms were clean; we were one of 13 people still waiting. The room had mold; the sheets were dirty, wallpaper was peeling from the walls, and the bathroom was nasty. I called Expedia about getting a refund or some type of refund, and all they offered was $25 on a $200 room.
I feel that this is disrespectful. I even uploaded pictures of the nasty room, the wait time, everything and that's all we're offered. I will not book with Expedia again and I do not recommend other people too because how disrespectful is it to book with a third party and be offered $25 when you had to sleep in a moldy room that had nasty sheets not even clean and had to wait almost 4 hours past check-in time just to get into a room. I will also upload pictures of the room and the hotel that we stayed at. This is not okay to be not only disrespected and have to wait 4 hours past your check in Tom for the room still to be nasty and moldy, and then have Expedia so we can only do $25 on a $200 room; that's not okay.

Do not use Expedia for anything. Trying to adjust your reservation or simply getting information about their cancellation policy is impossible. My wife and I tried to work with them through their customer service number and found it impossible to get anywhere. They hung up on me three times. I stayed persistent and kept calling back. Finally, they cancelled the reservation when all I was trying to do was find out what their cancellation policy was. That cost us over $900! And since it was cancelled, I had to pay for three rescheduled nights. I talked with the resort, and there is nothing they can do.

They always had the best packages and amazing customer service. I don’t know what happened but I feel that there has been a shift and I have been very disappointed with the customer service. They keep you on the phone and don’t really tell you much and refuse to help with travel issues. I had two separate calls to try to resolve an unfair $100 charge for a service I did not even receive.

I booked a minivan through Expedia with Enterprise on February 16, 2026, for pickup on May 22, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. The reservation cost was $500.79. At approximately 1:30 p.m. on the day of pickup, I called the Enterprise location to see if the vehicle was available early. I was told it was not ready and to arrive at my originally scheduled pickup time.
When I arrived that evening, Enterprise checked me in, completed all of the rental paperwork, and sent me to retrieve the vehicle. Only then was I informed that there was no minivan available. At that point, I had to scramble to find another rental while beginning a family vacation. After approximately 2½ hours of searching, I was able to secure another minivan, but it cost $816.71—over $315 more than my original reservation.
That same evening, I contacted Expedia by phone. I was specifically told that Expedia would reimburse the difference between my original reservation and the replacement rental once I submitted the final invoice after my trip. I relied on that representation. After submitting the invoice, Expedia denied reimbursement and instead offered a $75 travel credit (that is only good on Expedia website).
While I appreciate the gesture, a $75 credit does not address either the additional expense or the significant inconvenience. This was not a last-minute reservation—I booked the vehicle more than three months in advance. There was ample time for Expedia and Enterprise to identify and resolve any inventory issues before my scheduled pickup.
What is most disappointing is not simply the additional cost, but the lack of communication. Had I received a phone call before arriving, I could have arranged alternate transportation without losing hours of my vacation. Instead, I completed the rental paperwork, was sent to retrieve the vehicle, and only then learned that it did not exist. I have used Expedia many times, but this experience has significantly reduced my confidence in booking rental cars through the platform. Customers should be able to rely on reservations made months in advance and on the commitments made by customer service representatives when problems occur.

I booked a flight from Montreal-Calgary-Montreal with a Standard fare for both legs that included the carry on bag both ways with Porter Airlines. I had the confirmation email clearly indicating the fares and that the carry on bag was included both ways (and the itinerary on the Expedia for TD confirmed the same thing). No issues on the Montreal-Calgary leg, but coming back to Montreal I was Porter indicated that my fare was Basic, not Standard, and for that reason the carry on bag was not included. I had to go to the counter at the airport and pay CAD 80 for a carry on bag that I had already paid for.
I had to call twice to Expedia for TD and spend over 2 hours on the phone because the agents keep saying that their system showed that I had booked a Basic fare, and I had to fight tooth and nail so that they gave me the opportunity to send them a copy of the confirmation email so that they could see for themselves that they were breaching the contract by saying that I had a different fare than the one they confirmed by email and on their website.
They finally sent me an email and I could send them all the proof I had. it's unclear at this point whether they will reimburse me, but regardless all this is painful and it's clear that there Expedia for TD has a bug between their front and back ends, where the front ends tells you that you are booking fare X but in their back end they are reading fare Y. After this, I called to double check the faire of other bookings I had. The whole point with this is: Expedia is not a reliable booking option: go to the airlines directly and avoid the intermediary.

I usually like Expedia. It is easy to use and easy to find what I need, for the most part.

My review is long but I hope those thinking about using Expedia will take the time to read. I was working with a resort for reservations. When calling the resort back I somehow got Expedia. They don't identify when answering the phone, only state reservations. I asked for 'Sue', the resort representative I was working with. Expedia rep paused and said she was on another line. I have to admit there were red flags but per Expedia rep's persistence I made reservation costing $5,000. Received confirmation without any reference to Expedia.
Few days later I called resort rep to book activities. That is when I discovered I booked thru Expedia. When booked thru resort my cost was $2,000. Trying to cancel thru Expedia is another story. After 2 phone calls, a promise a supervisor would call me in a few minutes (never did call), ridiculous cancellation fee, Expedia agreed to a full refund that will take over 30 days. I have doubts it will go smoothly but I can only hope. I found Expedia deceptive, high priced with poor customer service.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience deserves to be shared. We booked a Hertz rental car through Expedia well in advance (Confirmation #**) and expected the vehicle to be available without issues. Instead, the pickup process turned into a frustrating ordeal that negatively impacted our travel plans. The most disappointing part was the customer service. Rather than receiving assistance and clear communication, we were met with confusion and very little effort to resolve the situation. When a cancellation was discussed, one of our travelers was informed about a $50 per day “no-show” fee, which seemed completely unfair given the circumstances.
Travel days are stressful enough, and customers should be able to rely on confirmed reservations. Unfortunately, this experience left us feeling that neither the reservation nor the customer’s time was valued. I hope both Hertz and Expedia review how situations like this are handled and take steps to improve the customer experience. Based on this experience, I would think twice before booking through this location again.

I booked a travel package through Expedia and purchased the rental car insurance offered as part of the package.

They requested my personal auto insurance information and asked me to upload documents to a website that does not appear to be working.
What has made this experience especially frustrating is that it is virtually impossible to reach anyone for assistance. Phone support is unavailable, online chat is ineffective, and there has been little to no communication throughout the process. It feels like customers are left facing a wall of silence, hoping they will simply give up on their claims.
This has been an extremely disappointing experience and has significantly impacted my trust in Expedia and its insurance partners.

I've used Expedia before with good results. NOT the current case. I made reservations, printed my results, went to pull them up later and they were not to be found. The Itinerary number was not found and I couldn't get a person to talk to. AI was spectacularly not helpful and then started giving me an error message that didn't allow me to ask any further questions. I called my credit card company to ensure that I hadn't been charged for the trip before rebooking directly with the airlines and rental car company.
They said expedia had charged me $256.57. I assumed that was for the rental car, but when I called the rental car company, they said they had no reservation in my name. So I had to pay for a rental car and now make a fraud claim on my credit card. There is no way to contact a person through the expedia app. What a fiasco. Its so much easier to do it yourself. The prices are the same, I've found, when re-booking on my own. Actually, the rental car was cheaper.

Expedia is horrible. I am deleting my account. Here is why- I bought insurance as I normally do. When I called to cancel, they told me that due to the tickets I bought they did not qualify for insurance. The airline ticks were $1952.86. My wife's mother passed away two weeks before we due to leave. After an hour and 34 minutes taking to some guy in India, they agreed on a $398 credit (have not received back yet on credit card) and $1082.86 flight credit that I can only use on that airline in the next 12 months, providing I pay a cancelation fee of $900.00. So, with credits I would be out $1480.86. I have always had a good experience with their sister company Orbitz. If the tickets were not covered, I should have been informed of that at time of purchase. I am now dealing with insurance company which told me otherwise and are reviewing my claim.

Extremely disappointed with Expedia. A family member purchased an airline ticket through Expedia, only to discover afterward that the exact same flights, on the same airline, with the same itinerary and fare rules, were available elsewhere for substantially less. There was nothing unique or upgraded about the ticket to justify such a dramatic price difference.
What is most frustrating is the lack of transparency. Customers trust Expedia to provide competitive pricing and help them find good travel deals. Instead, we were left feeling that we paid a premium for absolutely no additional value. This experience has seriously damaged our trust in Expedia. I strongly encourage travelers to compare prices on multiple websites before booking, because our experience suggests that Expedia may not always offer the best value, even for identical flights. We will be taking our business elsewhere in the future.

We won’t be using Expedia again for our travel needs. I recommend you think twice before you do so either. In fairness, I should say that prior to the incident in which I am about to tell you, we had used Expedia several times without a problem. However, in this case, I am certain that they were responsible for a hotel booking error which cost us $1,700. Here is what went down.
Last November, my wife booked two rooms at a boutique hotel in Coimbra, Portugal for a three-night stay last month (May 2026). When we arrived at the hotel to check in, the desk clerk told us she had our reservation, but it was for four rooms, not two. We told her that it must be a mistake, that we only booked two rooms and did not want or need the other two rooms. We showed her our confirmation email from Expedia which reflected that only two rooms had been booked. She told us that her records showed Expedia had reserved two more identical rooms in our name and that it was too late to cancel those rooms. She made a couple phone calls and then told us that our only option was to pay for all four rooms and take up the issue with Expedia. She also told us that it was not unusual for the hotel to receive booking errors from Expedia.
I suppose we had another option, we could simply have left and tried to find another hotel. But during a crowded graduation week in the college town of Coimbra, this did not sound like a good idea. In addition, the boutique hotel where we were to stay had come to us highly recommended by close friends. So we decided to stay put and pursue our refund through Expedia.
Multiple telephone conversations and emails with Expedia’s Customer Service Department followed. We provided Expedia with our confirmation email and itinerary number showing we had only booked the two rooms, but Expedia said that they had received a second booking, for two additional rooms, four days after our original booking date. We have no records of this second booking for two more rooms that we did not want or need. Furthermore, Expedia could not provide us with any evidence that a confirmation email was ever sent to us for those additional rooms.
Expedia concluded by telling us that after reviewing their records, it was their conclusion that we had booked four rooms (false), had paid for four rooms (true) and occupied four rooms (false). Therefore, we were told that they would not reimburse us for our loss. So there you have it. Expedia screwed up and consequently, we are left having to pay for it, to the tune of $1,700. I guess when it comes to Expedia, the customer is always wrong.

My recommendation is to never, ever, book a flight through Expedia. I experienced a problem where the airline changed my flight destination. Per DOT regulations, I was entitled to a full refund. Unfortunately due to airline policy I had to request my refund through Expedia. They continued to deny my claim was valid. After providing proof of my right to refund, they just kept sending me e-mails stating they needed to speak with me directly as they had questions and gave me several different 800#s to call back. I was on hold for over 40 minutes each time and automatically disconnected twice. When I did reach an agent I could barely understand, they they were the wrong dept. and could not help me. At this point I have responded to 8 e-mails from them and spent 2 hours on the phone, mostly on hold. The issue still has not been resolved. Reaching corporate customer service has been no better. My problem issue still remains unresolved.

Updated on 06/10/2026: Buyer Beware! Look at the screenshots! I paid for travel insurance and have documentation showing my reservation was canceled, yet Expedia continues to refuse responsibility. First, they claimed the cancellation was the hotel's issue. Then they stated they could not locate my insurance policy, despite my having proof of purchase.
After countless attempts to resolve this directly with Expedia, I have received no meaningful assistance. As a result, I have filed disputes with my credit card company, the Better Business Bureau, and the Federal Trade Commission. Consumers deserve better treatment and accountability. Based on my experience, I strongly recommend booking your travel through another company and avoiding the frustration and financial loss I have experienced with Expedia.
Original Review: Buyer beware. I booked a hotel through Expedia and purchased the travel insurance they offered for added protection. When I canceled my trip, Expedia sent me written confirmation stating that I would receive a refund for the first night of my reservation. Despite that confirmation, I was charged the full amount and never received the promised refund. When I contacted the hotel, I was told they could not assist because Expedia controlled the reservation and cancellation process.
My experience raises serious concerns about misleading representations regarding both refunds and the travel insurance sold through Expedia. The promises made during the booking and cancellation process did not match the outcome I received. I strongly encourage consumers to save all documentation and read the fine print carefully, or better yet book through any other platform. Based on my experience, the protections and refunds advertised may not be what you actually receive when you need them most.

I booked a family stay through Expedia for 2 adults and 2 children under a rate presented as including dinner. When we attended dinner at the hotel, I was unexpectedly informed that dinner was only included for the two adults and that I had to pay an additional AED 150 for my children. This was embarrassing and frustrating, as I booked the room for my family and did not understand from the booking presentation that the children would be excluded from the meal inclusion. After the stay, I contacted Expedia and explained the issue in detail. Expedia later advised that the dinner-included rate applied only to two adults and refused my request to refund the additional AED 150 charge.
My complaint is not about the hotel applying the instruction it had received. My concern is that Expedia’s booking information did not make this limitation sufficiently clear to me before completing a family booking. Had it been clear that dinner was excluded for the children, I could have made an informed choice before paying. I also found the customer service process disappointing. I had to explain the same issue repeatedly through emails and calls, provide the hotel invoice showing the AED 150 charge, and still received no satisfactory resolution.
Based on my experience, I would advise families booking meal-inclusive rates through Expedia to check very carefully whether the advertised meal benefit applies to every guest in the reservation, especially children, before confirming payment. I hope Expedia improves the clarity of its family booking information and handles genuine customer complaints in a more practical and customer-focused manner.

We had book our trip for Puerto Rico through Expedia. The reservation wasn’t the problem. The problem was that our flight was delayed due to weather conditions. When we finally arrived to Atlanta for our connecting flight, it left 30 minutes prior. There were no more flights to Puerto Rico that day. We were forced to stay the night in Atlanta and leave the following morning. We were allowed to select a hotel, La Quinta Inn South in Atlanta was trash. It was unkept and disgusting. We were originally given a room and it was still occupied. We were given a different room and it was filthy and rundown. We had our own blankets and we used those. Luckily our flight was at 830 on Tuesday morning. If it was any earlier, we would have missed it because the bus shuttle didn’t arrive until 620 am.
We finally left Atlanta and arrived in San Juan. The route shuttle drivers were courteous and nice to us. The representative at the route location in Carolina was rude and disrespectful. They didn’t honor my prior reservation. I tried calling multiple times to cancel but they never picked up the phone. We couldn’t control that Delta delayed our flight. Therefore, they should have honored my reservation since they didn’t answer the phone. That’s not my problem that they are too lazy to answer the phone. They might as well as go bankrupt.
Luckily our rental didn’t break down. The emergency brake, brakes and shocks were really bad. It was a grey Nissan Sentra sedan. Before I left, I asked them for an alternate number in case something was to happen, he acted like he didn’t hear me. I returned to the counter and another agent asked what was the problem. I told her since they don’t answer the phone, is there another number I can call in case something happens. She said that that was the only phone and supposedly it was based out of the Dominican Republic.
When I went to drop the car off, I heard the phone ring several times and saw one of the agents there hang up the phone. Really?? I had to tell them I had a flight to get to and they need to take the car. This was the worst experience with any flight and car rental I had ever experienced in my life. I demanded a refund and Expedia told me no! They should file for bankruptcy and shut down because they don’t care about their customers or the circumstances that they have no control over. I will never use Expedia, Delta Airlines, or Routes again. It’s all trash! Zero stars!

We booked a hotel in Flagstaff through Expedia, which required us to provide our full credit card details upfront. Unfortunately, the hotel did not meet our expectations upon arrival. The room was unclean, and the bed looked as if it had already been used, with the sheets merely having been pulled straight. We complained about the condition, and after some back and forth, were assured a cancellation. At the front desk, they claimed our credit card had not been charged. However, a quick look at my banking app showed that the amount had already been deducted. When asked, both the hotel and Expedia customer service denied having processed the charge. The responsibility for taking the money is simply being passed back and forth.
After this experience, my trust in Expedia and their handling of sensitive payment data is completely gone. I am currently still waiting for my refund. For future trips, I will switch back to Booking.com, where billing has always been transparent and reliable. Writing this review now, it doesn't surprise me in the slightest to see so many other negative reviews for Expedia.

Absolutely terrible experience booking a rental car through Expedia. I prepaid for a vehicle reservation expecting the price and vehicle category advertised to be honored. Instead, when I arrived at the rental counter, I was hit with crazy additional charges. In addition was told the car available was older and different from what I reserved. When I refused to accept the unexpected charges and downgrade, the staff essentially encouraged me to walk away, knowing I would have difficulty getting a refund. Expedia then hid behind the rental provider instead of taking responsibility for a booking made through their platform.
This feels like a bait-and-switch operation: advertise one thing online, then pressure customers into paying significantly more at pickup. Extremely frustrating after traveling and relying on a confirmed prepaid reservation. Expedia should do a much better job vetting the companies they partner with and protecting customers when providers fail to honor reservations. I will be very cautious using Expedia again for car rentals.
After the terrible experience with Expedia’s rental partner, I went directly to SIXT and the difference was night and day. I received a brand new, beautiful vehicle at a reasonable price with no surprise insurance charges or hidden fees. Additional drivers were included without any hassle, and the entire process was professional and transparent from start to finish.
Pickup was smooth, the staff were courteous, and the drop-off experience was quick and easy. This is how car rentals should work. I would absolutely use SIXT again anytime and strongly recommend booking directly with them instead of dealing with misleading third-party rental platforms. DO NOT USE STRIDE RENTAL CAR. DO NOT USE NEXTCAR. DO NOT USE EXPEDIA TO RENT CAR (Do NOT prepay anything).

Wish there was a negative star rating! I am writing this review to warn other travelers—particularly single females traveling alone—about the severe discrepancy between Expedia’s online listings and reality, followed by their predatory refund practices. Based on the photos provided on Expedia, I booked a two-night stay at a property. Upon arrival, the exterior was poorly maintained with overgrown weeds, open windows, and outdated interiors visible from the street. Because safety and cleanliness are my top priorities, I asked to see the rooms before official check-in. Both the first-floor room and the supposedly "updated" second-floor room were entirely unacceptable, neglected, and looked nothing like the advertised photos.
I immediately informed the front desk that I would not be staying and requested a cancellation. The staff member explicitly confirmed it was canceled and told me I was "all set." Despite this explicit confirmation, Expedia only refunded me for one night. Their excuse? They claimed the cancellation "missed the deadline"—which is an absolute impossibility, considering the booking itself was made *after* that arbitrary deadline had already passed.
To make matters worse, Expedia's customer service has been a joke. They sent templated emails claiming they attempted to call me but couldn't get through due to "business hours," which is completely false. It’s just a broken back-and-forth designed to wear consumers down so they give up. I refused to stay at the establishment, I am actively disputing the remaining charges with my credit card company, and I will never use Expedia again. They take advantage of consumers with deceptive marketing and predatory policies. Save yourself the headache and book elsewhere.

I am currently stranded in Istanbul with a return trip in just days and no guaranteed way home. Although I have an email from Expedia confirming that the first leg of my return trip was canceled—and it also appears as canceled in my customer portal—Expedia relied on the airline’s vague claim that the flight is “unconfirmed,” not canceled, to deny my refund. This is contradictory and unacceptable. Avoid booking through Expedia if you expect any protection when things go wrong. They will leave you stranded and hide behind technicalities.

Expedia took thousands from us to book 2 one way business class air tickets from Tokyo to Vancouver. They booked two airlines with a stopover in Korea. They booked the two flights with not enough time to make the connection. They tried to blame the airlines but they were booking agent who booked two different carriers. It was a nightmare for us to try to get home after paying business class to make things easier!!!! Never again will we book though Expedia.

I purchased a trip to Boracay Philippines through Expedia and it started with 2nd check bag has to be paid for and I had to pay for my one and only checked bag. When arriving at the hotel I was denied a room. I figured since I purchased the trip protection plan that I’d be saved but I wasn’t. The agent I was speaking to couldn’t get the front desk of the hotel to answer and the lady there wouldn’t even listen to me. The agent told me to cancel my hotel reservation and that I’d get a refund and key cash credit of $25. I had no choice and was left to walk around until I found WiFi to reserve another hotel room. In the end they didn’t honor their protection plan and I received nothing from them. Expedia can ruin your vacation without even trying. I’ll never use it again because they left me out to dry.

I just got back from Barcelona, Spain two days ago. I traveled from Boston. I paid for premium economy due to issues with my back praying I would be somewhat comfortable. We booked our stay and airline travel through Expedia as a package. Expedia had us book our flights through Level/Iberia. We experienced a three-hour delay going. My seat on the plane did not recline. The flight attendant tried to hit it down to recline. NOPE! The cushion I was sitting on was slipping. I traveled in pure agony. I could barely walk the whole trip due to the inflammation from sitting straight up for almost eight hours.
We were offered a cup of orange juice shortly after we boarded. We were not fed or given anything to drink until the morning. At this time, I received a sloppy ham and cheese sandwich and a couple of other pieces of food. We were told only after we landed why we were delayed on the ground back in Boston and even more so while we were in flight. We knew nothing prior. The movie/tv shows that we could watch were useless to me. No noise canceling headphones were given as was offered through Level in their ad. Not even cheap ear buds were offered. I sat there throughout the night doing nothing but moving around constantly in my broken chair.
When I went to pick up my luggage at the terminal, my luggage kept falling over. Both legs had been pulled right off. Thank God it had wheels. I only used this suitcase once before, so basically a brand new piece of luggage needs to be tossed in the trash. On our trip back from Barcelona, we were fed on the plane. Twice actually. Dinner and a snack. My chair reclined, and the pain from the first flight a week prior was even more intense because of the damage caused during the first flight. I was given ear buds without asking so that I could watch and listen to what was on the screen.
When we arrived back to Logan, we waited an hour for our luggage to be released. A man standing next to us was furious. He had worked for Jet Blue and told us that this never happened with that airline. I called Level and I spoke to an agent. He then transferred me to his supervisor who said that she was, "sorry." I asked her about the damage to the luggage. She told me that there is nothing that can be done. I also explained everything else that had happened. She said she was sorry and offered me two-hundred dollars to take off for a future flight. I told her to keep it.
I will never, ever fly with Level again. We lost a full day in Spain. My daughter who now lives there, was at the airport for hours waiting to pick us up. We waited almost a year for this trip and went through Expedia thinking that this company would make sure their clients would be taken care of. I trusted the fact that the airline that was chosen was well known to Expedia. I thought Expedia would be on top of the cons if any or maybe few so that their customers would be flying with a reputable airline.
This trip was a complete disaster because of the travel. I am home now, thank God. I am in pure agony and very angry after hearing that the policy is nothing will be done except to listen to my concerns. I saw so much at the Level terminal in Barcelona. How people were being treated especially three young girls who were beside themselves dealing with the agents at Level. There was another older woman who was in tears. When that particular woman was basically begging for help and given a piece of paper with a phone number on it and walked away, I saw the agent smirk at the agent next to her in disgust. All four had their flights cancelled and were begging for help. I understand things happen. Nothing is ever perfect, but this was just insane. We were never given a choice of airlines to travel by Expedia. Just Level. Extremely disappointed in Expedia beyond words.

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 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.

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.

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.

I recently booked a round trip through Expedia, with a returning flight on a Monday at 6:00 a.m. I received confirmation of this booking with all the correct details. When I checked into my flight the morning of, it claimed I was on a flight 6:00 p.m. the night before. All of my booking information except my boarding pass says this was incorrect and Frontier had zero history of me ever being placed on the flight I booked through Expedia (meaning my flight was never changed, Expedia just never put me on the correct one). I then had to buy a new flight for houts later at the airport for $500. I have been calling Expedia for days for a refund, yet I have been unable to contact them.
The first agent transferred me to Frontier customer service after I explicitly asked him not to and tols him it was an issue with Expedia, not Frontier. I am now currently on hold for 2 hours after an agent told me he was "transferring" me to another agent. I am disgusted in the customer service and lack of accountability at Expedia. I genuinely have nothing good to say about any agent I have talked to and the company as a whole.

It’s unfortunate 0 stars isn’t an option, because 1 is too many. After booking a 1 way flight for myself and my wife, Expedia is refusing to use her credits towards another one-way flight. Their customer service is beyond unreliable and undertrained. Not only incapable of resolving customer issues, they refuse to escalate issues to higher echelons of care. If you value your time, money, and peace of mind, you will NEVER book with Expedia.

Hey Expedia, FIRE YOUR CIO! Here is why:
2. Wait time for phone call to Support -- >27,000 minutes, or 37 hours
3. On hold for Chat Support -- 1hr 35 minutes at 0 minutes wait time.
This is fantastic incompetence. Go directly to airlines to book your flghts, and KEEP AWAY FROM THESE MORONS. Another satisfied Expedia customer....

You deceived me and misrepresented yourself. I've complained to Hilton and they are aware. You said I could use my points for Hilton. I heard you say I can use my points upon checking. The hotel Hilton let me know that I am unable to use points because I booked this through Expedia. You never mentioned Expedia. Had I known I would've hung up and booked through Hilton like I normally do. I'm not sure why the number appeared under the Hilton name. The scam started when you asked me if I wanted to purchase cancellation insurance. Instead of saying that, perhaps you should've been honest with me and told me I can't use my points because this conversation is through Expedia not Hilton. I want my money back. This is fraud and misrepresentation.

The picture of the hotel to get my booking was NOTHING like the actual hotel. The walking distance said 9 minutes. But it is actually 31 minutes. When I discovered the mistake. 5 minutes after I got the email for the booking. I tried to cancel it. However, the cancel button did not work. It just took me to an arrow message. So I tried to chat with Expedia and cancel it. But they charged me $20 to cancel it. So don't book for these people unless you want to get ripped off.

On Jan 25, 2026, I booked a $1,487.85 Flight + Car package via Expedia (Itinerary **): Delta PHL-ABQ on Jan 31 and Sixt rental. Delta canceled flights (H3CNDW), causing 9+ hour delay. I didn't fly or use car, but Expedia refuses refund, falsely claiming flight used and blaming Sixt. Ignores DOT refund rights. Support delayed with phone pushes and errors. Avoid Expedia—filed DOT/BBB complaints. Demand full refund!

I reserved a vehicle for a big trip (for me) coming up. I'm glad I decided to check my reservation for the heck of it (still got a month). The link now fails to go anywhere. Went through a few of the BS AI chat thing and I'm just not even going to bother. Certainly miss the days where you can just call and talk to someone. Anyway... Life's too short to fuss with poor customer service. Plenty of other options these days. Oh this was my first time with Expedia. Nice try expedia. You fail.

I booked a trip with Expedia in December. Due to weather, two different flights were cancelled. I called Expedia and the hotel as soon as I knew we could not possibly get to our destination. I was just trying to have the stay transferred to different dates. Every time I called, I spoke to someone different and nobody knows what is going on. I have gotten a different answer every time.
It is now almost the end of February, and nothing has been resolved. Expedia says the hotel has to cancel; the hotel says Expedia has to cancel. Over $2000 for hotel alone. I have called and I have emailed Expedia and the hotel numerous times. One time I was on hold for over 1.5 hours. They think you will hang up I suppose. Not many people have the time or patience to wait on hold for hours. I was also cut off more than once after waiting on hold for an extended amount of time. After seeing the other complaints listed here, how can they continue to do business this way? I will not rest until I get some kind of answer.

I booked a hotel, the dates I entered were 7/10 check-in, 7/11 check out. I proceeded to pick out the room and added insurance and I checked out, when I got the confirmation it showed check in 2/25, check out 26 which I never entered these dates, I called 5 minutes after booking the room, they would not assist me and would not move the date, I had to file a claim which takes 1/2 month and when you call to ask for person handling your claim per their email they gave me the name they refuse to put you through to that person, do not use Expedia for anything. They are beyond crooked and definitely can't be trusted, and I do a ton of traveling. Stay away from them. You will have nothing but lies, they read off of a paper and delay assisting you with something this small, imagine people spending a lot and having this happen to them.... Do not do business with Expedia....
