    I am extremely disappointed with Expedia and their lack of customer support. I had booked a hotel in Las Vegas through Expedia for my birthday vacation. Unfortunately, due to an issue at the border, we missed our flight and the entire vacation. I immediately contacted Expedia to explain the situation and requested a refund or at least some kind of resolution for the missed hotel reservation. Despite my efforts, Expedia refused to offer any refund or even a credit for future use. The customer service agents I spoke with were unhelpful, showing no empathy or understanding of the unforeseen circumstances.

    I understand that certain bookings have cancellation policies, but given the circumstances that were completely out of my control, I expected a more flexible and customer-oriented approach. Instead, I was met with rigid policies and poor communication. What was supposed to be a special birthday celebration turned into a frustrating experience, and Expedia’s refusal to assist has left me extremely dissatisfied. I’ve been a loyal customer of Expedia in the past, but after this experience, I will think twice before booking with them again. I expected better service and a more compassionate response. I do not recommend using Expedia if you're looking for a company that values its customers.

    Difficult to get a HUMAN on the phone. The site is very limited for changing reservations. We tried several times to switch cities when the secretary got mixed up. I was more than happy to switch hotels (chain) so there would be no burden. Could not get anyone to talk to. I'll stick with Priceline. At least there are some humans that want to speak to their customers!

    Do NOT use Expedia. I booked a return trip with Expedia and went through the flight options they presented. At the end they offered an insurance policy they claimed guarantees a refund should the trip have to be cancelled. I was under the weather when the flight came up. Tried to cancel and they said the refund was not guaranteed. Decided to take the trip and not forfeit what I paid.

    On the return trip, the airline expected me to pay just to get a seat and bring my one carry-on bag home. This doubles the amount paid for the return trip. When I contacted Expedia about both issues, they refused to take any responsibility and pushed back claiming it’s the insurance company and the airline's policies. They will present you with a false fee just to get any business and not provide any support when you find that they outright lied.

    Horrible experience. Showed up to hotel to have them tell me I didn't have a room I had a confirmation for. Had to pay for a taxi to new hotel after over 2 hours working with Expedia and hotel to get me a new room. Then sent multiple messages to expedia and spent hours talking to customer service just to be offered 25$ for my inconvenience. Got to my new hotel room 3 hours later that night at 1am. Expedia makes travel so difficult just for booking a single hotel room.

    I booked an American Airlines flight through Expedia. A week later, they contacted me, citing a technical issue with the airline, and assured me of a refund. However, the next day, they canceled my booking and refused to provide the refund. They didn't even offer a travel credit, and the money I paid just vanished. This experience has made it clear that using Expedia can be risky. It's safer to book directly with the airlines.

    We have tried to cancel 1 day from original 2 day hotel stay since August 11. It’s been back and forth with them. I had also purchased travel insurance so I finally called them and they directed me back to Expedia. Very disappointed with the runaround. All they kept on saying is "You’ll hear from someone within 72 hours." We saved all texts. I spoke with someone today and finally, she mentioned that I need to fill out form which she provided. I have used Expedia before but 1st time I needed to cancel 1 day.

    On a Ladies trip to Athens and Santorini we faced many challenges which Expedia was not any help. We found bugs the 1st night in our Hotel and they refused to negotiate a refund so we can try to get book another hotel. The Hotels Expedia were trying to get us were 3x the price we paid, and we paid a reasonable price for the Hotel. I refused to stay and refused to leave the lobby until a full refund was made. Not until we showed pictures of the bugs then they agreed to only charge us the one night.

    I also booked a trip on the second week of our trip to be picked up at the bug infested hotel and Expedia first told me I could not change the pickup location and had to cancel and rebook at a higher price. Seems that is their answer to everything cancel and rebook. Same with my rental car I needed to change the dates and they made me cancel the rental and rebook it. The charges are still not matching. That's another thing. The invoices never match what they charge on your card. We ended up losing about $700.00 on that trip another 250 on the Hotel booking and they refuse to deal with me now. Never giving me the option to chat with an agent.

    Due to incompetence of Expedia agents and Turkish Airlines customer service my husband and I spent 12 hours and $1000 in Istanbul going to Athens and 24 hours and $1700 trying to get back to Chicago from Athens. All on our honeymoon. We missed our connecting flight (Istanbul-Athens) due to confusion at the gate. Spent hours back and forth between Expedia and Turkish Airlines service desk and since no one was helping us we booked a separate flight to just get to Athens. Then, without notification, or return flights (Athens-Istanbul and Istanbul-Chicago) got canceled.

    We found out about it while trying to check in our bags at the airport. Spent 2 hours with Expedia and Turkish Airlines customer service and they basically ran the clock until it was too late and we had to, again, book completely new flights to get back home. No help from Expedia, no help from Turkish Airlines, no empathy from either one, no basic human decency. We slept on the floor of the airport because we had no place to stay, no money and we did not want to risk anyone else going wrong, and I was getting worsening flu like symptoms. Absolutely unacceptable.

    Do not trust Expedia. I booked a flight. It comes with a bunch of different packages indicating that you can add options such as choosing your own seat or covering your baggage charges for an increased cost. After working through the many fees, I ended up buying a flight for close to twice the fare listed for a ticket with none of these extras. But, when I went to choose my seating locations... I was informed by the airline that the fee had not been paid. They were also able to verify that the baggage fees were not paid. After a very long chat followed by a very long call, during which I lost time out of my life, I was informed that it doesn't really mean you get to choose your seat and you need to ask at the counter. And that it doesn't include the baggage fees, which you have to pay at check-in.

    They did nothing to make up for charging me double. I told them their site is very misleading, but their promise to look into it does nothing for me. So, I advise everyone reading this to book directly with the airline so that you know what you are getting because you will have zero recourse with Expedia. I now get to pay over $100 extra for what I already paid.

    I rented a car in Romania this summer through Expedia from Priceless Car Rentals. This company scammed me of almost 4000 CAD by selling me a car protection (Third Party Liability) instead of the deposit and saying that I’ll get back my money then I provide the full policy from Expedia, knowing that the Expedia insurance doesn't cover that, even though I bought the protection plan from Expedia when I rented the car. The renting period was from the 2nd until the 16th of August 2024. I contacted Expedia when I was in Romania, explained them the situation and they told me not to worry because they are going to take care of it.

    Expedia called the company, and they said that they are going to refund the money charged for this protection, but they never did. Looking at the Google reviews of Priceless Car Rentals in Romania (unfortunately too late) I realized that this scam is going for years with the same outcome .... people losing thousands of dollars for a few weeks car rental from this Romanian company. When I came back to Montreal, I continued to talk to Expedia for many hours and their final answer was: they can’t do nothing about it and I should see with the Priceless Car Rentals company from Romania for the refund.

    Considering that this scam is happening repeatedly using the same technique (charging a huge amount for the Third Party Liability knowing that Expedia doesn’t cover that) and many people contacted Expedia to explain this situation, by law, Expedia should warn its clients when renting with Priceless Car Rentals. I checked today to see if I can rent a car with Priceless Car Rentals in Romania (Bucharest) through Expedia, and guess what, the company is still there and Expedia is not doing anything about it.

    I found some case laws in which people won against Expedia (in North America) for similar situations with other car rental companies from Europe. Knowing that, I will soon send a Formal Notice to Expedia and open a case against them afterwards. Fortunately, some people from North America who have been scammed the same way, already contacted me. If there are other people from North America who are in the same situation as me and want more information about the complaints I made until now, please write to me on Facebook Messenger (I’m from Montreal, Canada).

    I made a hotel reservation months ago for our trip to Quebec City and booked the dates Sept 25th to 28th. I needed to change the arrival date to the 26th and used the virtual agent. This process was easy and I received a confirmation from Expedia that this was done. A few days ago I the Hotel in Quebec called me to say that the dates were not changed on Expedia website. I called Expedia and spoke to an agent who said that I had to cancel the whole reservation and rebook the rooms. He also said that there were no other rooms available. This left me very confused and I was hesitant to cancel the booking since I may not be able to rebook the room and other hotels in the area were fully booked.

    The agent I spoke to could give me no additional information. Either cancel or keep the booking even though I would have to pay for an extra day that we didn't use. I feel this was very dishonest and the using the virtual agent did not complete the process. Another red flag for me was that I was not able to find a customer support phone number on their website. I had to search Google. This tells me that Expedia really doesn't want to talk to anyone. I will not be using Expedia again. I'm done jumping through hoops with them.

    Absolutely the worst experience with this company. I bought a ticket back in April to visit my parents, but unfortunately, I had to cancel at the last minute. I called Expedia to get a refund, but of course, that wasn’t possible. Instead, they generously offered me a credit—oh, but only for Turkish Airlines! They also kindly let me know I’d have to pay a $175 rebooking fee.

    Fast forward to September, when I contacted Expedia again to use my credit. I spoke to an agent via chat who informed me that the rebooking fee was now $400. Naturally, I asked why the fee had doubled, and they confidently told me, "It’s always been that way." I reached out to Turkish Airlines, who, unsurprisingly, had no record of my credit and told me to deal with Expedia since, apparently, they hadn’t bothered to share the information. So, I called Expedia again, where a very helpful agent named Maximus (or so he called himself) explained that for a $1000 ticket, despite having a credit of $1223, I’d still need to pay an additional $800 in rebooking fees. How reasonable! When I asked how that made any sense, he said my original ticket was "one of a kind"—a unique promotion.

    As if things couldn’t get worse, when I tried to ask for details, Maximus lost his cool and questioned whether I even understood English. When I asked to speak to a manager or supervisor, he told me they simply don’t exist in their world. But when I called back later, surprise! Maximus had suddenly promoted himself to supervisor! Now that’s career advancement! He continued to insist that I didn’t understand English and that, yes, I still had to pay $800 for a $1000 ticket, despite my $1223 credit. And, of course, he reminded me again how I apparently can’t understand English.

    After getting nowhere with Maximus, I jumped back into the chat, where another agent informed me that, actually, the rebooking fee was only $400. Progress, right? Wrong. Just when I was finally ready to book my trip, I was told, oops, they made a mistake. I couldn’t use my credit after all. But hey, at least they would refund me my money—minus the $175 rebooking fee, of course. After three days of calls and hours of being on the phone, I thought I had reached a resolution.

    A week passes—still no money in my account. I contact Expedia again, and now they’ve got a brand-new story: they can’t refund the money because there’s "an error" when transferring the funds. So, I give them a new account number, and I can only hope that this time, maybe, just maybe, they’ll be able to return my money.

    Such a professional company! It only took me four days of calls to get my refund because, clearly, my English is so terrible (according to Maximus), my card mysteriously stopped working, and my original ticket was so "one of a kind" that even after taking my money, they couldn’t manage to sell me another one. Bravo, Expedia!

    Expedia promotes a bogus travel insurance company when you book meaning they get a commission on the sale. The company, Generali, denied my legit claim with information sent to them about my flight cancelation despite the fact that I PAID for insurance to cover exactly that. When I contacted Expedia, they did NOTHING!! They said it was non-refundable and I reminded them that I purchased the insurance they promoted for that exact reason.

    I bought the air tickets via Expedia. My tickets were flexible. But when I wanted to change my back flight Expedia suggested me to pay extra charge. At the morning the price was 600 CAD, and closer to evening it was around 1000 CAD. New tickets were more expensive. But my existing tickets were in the same price. Otherwise Expedia used the old price to my tickets that I paid two months ago. If you need some service with your tickets be sure Expedia won’t help you with anything. I spend 250 CAD for phone calls to Expedia in the roaming and in the end guy from Expedia Customer Support Team (his name is Kim) said: “I already spent with you one hour, I’m tired". That was a worst experience I have ever had to changing tickets. I asked them to send me call audiogram. They promised. But I didn’t get anything.

    Non-functional Air Conditioning: The air conditioning system was not working, making the stay extremely uncomfortable. The apartment has floor to ceiling windows and the heat was so bad that we all had to sleep in the living room.

    Lack of Response from the Owner: Despite multiple attempts to contact the owner, there was no response, leaving us without support or assistance. All they replied was "that's unusual".

We had no choice but to upgrade our rental with Thrifty, but we had to pay twice because they didn't recognize the payment we had already made through Expedia (which was $381 USD!). Thrifty told us we needed to resolve the issue with Expedia. Expedia barely responded to our emails.

    I would not recommend using Expedia or any third-party for that matter, and know I won't ever again, as of yesterday. It's the second time Expedia tried to keep my money due to a "policy." Years ago I had to let an airline ticket go for $850 because I was hospitalized and that didn't qualify. They would not accept the hospitalization letter and both United and Expedia kept transferring me and telling me to call the other one.

    Yesterday I was scammed by their "customer service." I had Googled customer support and maybe that was my mistake, but I got about 4 obnoxious Indian men all telling me I could not cancel a duplicate order for $1200, it was too late, and I could pay $200 per night instead of $225 or just get a voucher for use same place, duration and within 30 days (who needs that, right?). One hung up on me, one called me back.

    They had my information about the hotel, duration, last four of my card, sent me emails with a "code" to read back to them, so I thought they were real. The number they called me on is 844-424-6242. When I said I am not paying that for a mistake I made with two tabs open, they said they could not reverse it. Save yourself the brain-drain and do not use Expedia and be careful with other third-parties. I find it exhausting and frustrating. They used to be great and I've used them for 20 years.

    DO NOT TRUST Expedia for hotel bookings. They LIE about amenities on their website. Their Customer Service also sucks! Had an awful experience about Super8 Wyndham Hotel East Stroudsburg reservation and stay. Their website clearly stated *Free Breakfast* however upon staying it was known that breakfast was on-the-go. Even if it is on-the-go, they must at least provide a bar, granola/bread toast and hot coffee. But they just provided stale muffins and a meager coffee thermos.

    I live in Houston and after Hurricane Beryl I lost power. I managed to find hotel a in Corsicana at IHG Holiday Inn. I booked it on Expedia on July 9th. An hour later I received a call from the reservations dept telling me that the hotel was in fact booked and had no vacancy and asked me to stay on line while my refund was processed. The customer service agent could barely speak English and so it took forever. He asked me for my credit card number and when I asked him why he needed it since he was calling from the place I made the reservation initially, he had no reply. He also could not tell me what was the name of the company I made the reservation with.

    Two days later I received an invoice from my supposed stay at Holiday Inn. Holiday Inn could not help because I made the reservation through Expedia. I called the customer service number on the invoice and was told I would receive a refund within 7 to 10 days. It's been 16 days and no refund. When I call them they say the same thing like robots. No manager ever calls me back. I have never received an email stating that I would receive the refund as I've been told three times now. No one knows the name of the company they work for. No one. I will never use Expedia or anyone affiliated with them again including VBRO who I have used for years. Only book through the hotel or directly through IHG from now on. Horrible customer service!

I got to the hotel at 9 PM Thursday night and checked out at 9 AM the following morning. I was charged over $1000 for a 2 night stay. When I checked in I told the hotel that I would be leaving the next morning. They said that I would have been refunded for one day if I had booked directly through them. But, since I booked through Expedia, I would have to go through Expedia to get a refund. Expedia told me that since I paid at the hotel, I had to go through the hotel to get a refund. Long story short, I was given the runaround and lost hours on the phone and $500. Expedia is no bargain. Go directly through the hotel. Same price. Less problems.

    I've used Expedia for over 10 years and was quite happy with their service. Their website was user-friendly and flexible. However, this year (2024), I've booked five trips on Expedia and encountered issues with all of them. The most recent problem involved an all-inclusive package to Cozumel, which was booked in May. When double-checking the details today (July 4th), I noticed that our resort was actually on the mainland, not on the island of Cozumel. When I finally reached a customer service representative, he blamed me for not checking the hotel's address. I pointed out that it was offered as a package offered deal by Expedia, but he insisted that Expedia is a self-service travel agency and that it was my responsibility to verify these details. To fix the problem, they wanted to charge an extra $9,000 to stay at a resort on the island.

    My receipt indicated that I could cancel until July 11, but when I said I wanted to cancel, he said I wouldn't get a full refund. He claimed he could only refund Expedia's portion of the trip. Then, he proposed a convoluted solution where if I paid $1,000 upfront, I could get $3,000 back plus a $1,000 airline credit. This sounded like a scam to me – and so did my credit card company took one dollar from my credit card to "test" it????? I spent almost two hours on the phone with Michael and Hector, dealing with this, but no real solution was offered. I would advise everyone to avoid using Expedia. When things go well, there's no problem, but if issues arise, they refuse to take responsibility. As someone who travels frequently, I will never use Expedia again, and they don't seem to care about losing a loyal customer.

    Made a booking for a hotel in northern Norway for 9 nights. The receipt for the booking said a twin bed and I ordered a superior room with king bed. I tried to change the booking to a king bed but was told that would incur a cost even though I paid for booking protection. I called the hotel in Norway and they said it was difficult to change and I would have to contact Expedia. That is when I was told it would require a fee and they were not sure they could do it. I then said cancel the booking and the guy said that would cost $125, but when the email to do that came it said $200. Oh no. The guy on the phone said always $200. What did I pay the protection fee for? Clearly Expedia gave me an incorrect hotel booking deliberately to generate more income. I will never ever use expedia again. I urge others to have peace of mind and avoid Expedia at all cost (and the cost could be high if you use them).

    I recently had a profoundly disappointing experience with Expedia's customer service, which was characterized by a lack of support and accountability. This situation involved a disrupted flight itinerary that left my parents stranded in an unfamiliar city, exacerbating an already stressful situation. The ordeal started with a routine inquiry to Expedia after my parents' flight was unexpectedly diverted, causing them to miss their connecting flight. Although I hoped for a swift and effective resolution, the service provided by Expedia was neither. The initial conversation with the representative, Bernan **, involved a lot of deflection of responsibility to American Airlines. Despite multiple assurances that they would help, the conversation was largely unproductive, with Expedia refusing to take any responsibility for the booking issue.

    As the interaction progressed, another representative, Rahul, joined the conversation. Rahul informed me that the tickets purchased were basic economy, which typically does not allow for exchanges or refunds. This was frustrating to hear at such a late stage. His suggestion was to speak over the phone, which I declined due to my growing frustration and concern for my parents. Rahul’s demeanor was patronizing at times, suggesting that issues could be resolved if only more money was paid for refundable fares. This felt like a dismissive remark about my financial situation, which added insult to injury.

    Throughout the conversation, it became evident that Expedia was unprepared to offer any real solutions, continually insisting that I deal directly with American Airlines—even though the booking was made through their platform. The representatives’ repeated assertions that the airline, not Expedia, was responsible for dealing with the situation, underscored a significant lack of accountability.

    Moreover, after enduring this lengthy and unhelpful interaction, they contacted my mother directly and attempted to mitigate the situation by offering a mere $100, which felt like an attempt to placate rather than solve the root issues. This experience has not only diminished my trust in Expedia’s ability to support its customers during travel disruptions but has also highlighted a stark lack of empathy and effectiveness in their customer service approach. For those considering using Expedia for travel arrangements, be warned that if issues arise, you might find yourself abandoned by Expedia, forced to fend for yourself in dealing with airlines directly, with little to no support from the booking platform.

    Title: Booking Error Caused Major Inconvenience - Disappointed with Expedia. Review: ⭐️⭐️. I recently booked a trip to Costa Rica through Expedia, and unfortunately, it turned into a nightmare due to a significant booking error. My itinerary was supposed to take me to Liberia Airport, the closest airport to my destination, the Riu Palace Costa Rica. However, Expedia mistakenly scheduled my flight to arrive at San Jose Airport, which is a staggering four-hour drive away from my intended destination. This error caused immense inconvenience and frustration, as it disrupted my travel plans and added unnecessary stress to what should have been a relaxing vacation. Despite my attempts to resolve the issue with Expedia, the process was slow and unhelpful.

    To make matters worse, when I reached out to the airline for assistance, I faced additional challenges in getting the situation rectified. While I understand that mistakes can happen, the lack of accountability and effort to resolve the issue in a timely manner was disappointing. As a result of this experience, I urge fellow travelers to exercise caution when booking through Expedia and to double-check all details to avoid similar mishaps. Additionally, I hope that both Expedia and the airline take steps to improve their customer service and prevent such errors from occurring in the future. I cannot recommend Expedia or the airline involved based on my experience.

    Original Review: April 11, 2024

    I was not allowed to go to Panama because of a security warning regarding violent protests in the capital. I am in the Peace Corps, an American program in Guyana, and I was prevented from going for this reason. Copa said I was eligible for a refund because of the security warning, but that Expedia would need to contact Copa since I’d used them when booking.

    Copa initially said I couldn’t request a refund until March 24 because that’s when the security warning for Panama would renew, so I waited until the 24th. I called Copa, who said I could request a refund, but that Expedia would have to submit the request since I’d gone through them as a third party. I then called Expedia, who said I would have to submit an “extenuating circumstances” form online. However, it was impossible to submit that form because the flight was within 72 hours, so I had to call Expedia again. This time Expedia told me I could not request a refund because it was against Copa’s policy, and Copa had not updated the security warning for Panama since March 19th. I told them I needed them to contact Copa, and the customer service representative refused.

    Then I called back, and this time a more helpful agent did call Copa. This agent submitted a complaint form to Copa, and I received an email notification for that. This agent also canceled my flight. On March 25 I called Copa Airlines, who told me there was no longer any information about my flight because Expedia had cancelled. The Expedia agent had filled out a Copa complaint form and cancelled my flight, rather than calling them. On March 25 I called Expedia again, and an agent told me she would call Copa. I then received an email from her, telling me she’d contacted Copa, who would send Expedia a code to proceed with the refund. She said she would update me.

    I sent two emails to Expedia after this, requesting a follow up. After receiving no response, I called Expedia on April 2nd. The customer service agent told me to fill out an extenuating circumstances form, and said I could select any option (death, medical, military, jury duty), since none were exactly right for this circumstance. I selected medical, and then received a rejection since Copa doesn’t accept medical. I called Expedia back, and an Expedia agent told me the extenuating circumstances form wasn’t right for the situation, and apologized for the other agents directing me there. He told me Expedia would contact Copa about getting the code, and then would contact me. However, I never received a call back.

    I then wrote to Expedia on Facebook, who presumably contacted Copa. Copa supposedly then told Expedia I was not eligible for the refund because it was only good through March 19th. I am upset that I received bad advice from both an Expedia representative and a Copa representative, then. The Copa representative I spoke with said I was eligible. The Expedia representative I spoke to told me Copa would send a code for the refund to Expedia, and I allowed her to cancel my booking because of that. If I had known this would happen, I would have changed the flight, since I was still able to do so at that time. Because of bad advice, I allowed her to make the cancellation with no benefit to myself, when if I'd had better information, I would have simply changed the flight.

    I only agreed to cancel because an Expedia agent advised me to, in order to get the code. If I had not received this bad advice, I would have scheduled a different flight later. The Copa agents advised me that I was eligible for a refund, but that Expedia would have to contact them. As far as I can tell, Expedia has failed to do this. I have received bad advice and have not received my refund because of Expedia’s incompetence.

Reason I cancelled the room is my aunt passed away today, and this dude kept asking me why I am cancelling the hotel, told him 3x that my aunt passed away in Oregon today! Booked on April 19th thru 21st but she passed away today, they refuse to honor the refund back to my credit card. I spoke with the hotel, he was so nice to me, told me not to worry I will not be charged at their end. But with Expedia, told me I have to fight back to get my refund. I am going to call my credit card and dispute tomorrow. Never ever again. I will not book thru Expedia. They are dirty and liars and rip off! I am going to file a complaint against Expedia thru BBB!

    My wife and I recently took a trip to New Mexico, booking the flights through Expedia. At the time of booking, I paid extra for an upgraded ticket so I could check baggage and choose seat assignments. When I got to the airport I had to pay again to check luggage and they assigned us random seats so we couldn't sit together. This happened in both directions. So, I've double paid several hundred dollars. I tried calling Expedia but they make it very hard to talk to anyone and then you have to supply them with copies of receipts, seat assignments, etc. They haven't send me any accounting of the money they billed me and they make the whole process as opaque as possible. This isn't the first time this has happened.

    On a previous trip, while holding a confirmation for my flight, when I showed up at the airport, the airline had bumped me from the flight without explanation. I had to spend another night in a hotel till I could arrange another flight home. I received no compensation. There seems to be a pattern of fraud here and unfortunately companies like these abuse their power to maximize profits as their customer's expense. I will never deal with Expedia again.

    I have a policy also; never do business with liars and cheats. I had two rooms booked through Expedia. I needed to change the dates and called the hotel directly 3 days in advance. They said there was nothing they could do; it was non-refundable and non-changeable as per the booking agent Expedia. So I spent the next hour on Expedia chat. Expedia indirectly (apparently incapable of simple direct answers) stated that they could do me a favor and change the dates for a “penalty fee.” If I paid an additional $350 for the $200 room, they could make the change. But there was no way I was getting a refund or even a partial credit. Expedia claimed the no refund policy was the hotel's. The hotel said it was Expedia’s policy.

    I must say that it has been a very disappointing and confusing experience. I have been using Expedia services for about 10 years and never dealt with such careless way of handling a business. I have booked many many flights and rooms throughout the years. Just a few days ago I had to cancel 1 night stay at hotel in Nashville. And I never cancel anything! Expedia had it saying that before 12th of March I could cancel it FOR FREE and get my money back. I canceled the room on the 9th of March, thinking everything will be under control, hence Expedia services! I even got an email confirming that the room was canceled! Then later, the hotel charges me for that night and so I go back to the Expedia customer service. They reassure me that I should get my money back and then started breadcrumbing me for a few days saying they are talking to the manager at the hotel...

    They eventually told me it's the hotel's policy and I won't get my money back. Why should I worry about hotel's policies if I book stuff through Expedia? I don't know. I will never use Expedia again and I will use their competitors instead. I find it very disrespectful and fishy way to handle business. So this is a story how Expedia lost a very valuable and loyal 10 year customer over $288. Shame on you, Expedia. Customers, don't book through Expedia if you want decent guarantees and refunds. Good luck.

    I had purchase a flight from Denver to London for March 15 and a return flight from Dublin to Denver on the 25th of March. I was suppose to fly on Lufthansa coming back from Dublin with a layover in Frankfurt. I heard about the strike the airlines were having. So I decided I would call Expedia to see if I could get another flight out of Dublin. The agent said she could. It would be with JetBlue. But she would have to cancel the Dublin flight. And I would have to pay extra. I asked her on the phone if my London flight would be affected. She said no. About 3 hours later I found out they had cancel both my flights. So I contacted Expedia. After 3 hours chatting with them where they even admitted that the agent accidentally cancel my flight they promised they would refund the full amount. And if I wanted to go on my trip I would have to buy new tickets.

    I bought new ticket. Then I get an e-mail from them saying Lufthansa rejected my request for a refund which I don't feel it's Lufthansa fault. To me Expedia is the ones that screwed up and should pay me. Also the airlines Jet Blue had already put a charge on my credit card for the new Dublin flight but haven't even book it yet. I get an e-mail from Jet Blue saying they were working on my flight reservation. I called Jet Blue and told them I didn't need the flight anymore. The guy has the nerve to tell me it's nonrefundable.

    After I filed a complaint with the BBB, Expedia reimbursed me for the canceled hotel room and gave me $100 in onekey cash.

    Original Review: March 10, 2024

    I have used Expedia for years to book most of my air travel, hotels, and car rentals, but I will never use them again. I recently used Expedia to book a 4-night stay at a hotel, which was fully cancellable. When I arrived at the hotel, I told the front desk staff I would only be staying one night. They asked that I call Expedia to process the cancellation so the hotel wouldn't be charged commissions for the 3 canceled nights. I called Expedia and waited on the phone while the Expedia representative contacted the hotel to get their approval. When the Expedia representative returned to our call, he assured me that the 3 nights were canceled and the hotel approved. A few days later, however, my credit card was charged for 4 rather than 3 nights.

    I called Expedia, who during that call and over several email exchanges claimed they unsuccessfully attempted to contact the hotel. So I could dispute the charges on my credit card, I asked Expedia to confirm via email that I had called them to cancel the 3 nights and they had notified the hotel of the cancellation. They said they could not provide that verification because of a "system limitation" and from that point on, they framed their emails as if they were trying to negotiate with the hotel for a cancellation waiver after the fact. After evading and misrepresenting the facts, Expedia stated the problem was between the hotel and me.

    The hotel manager claimed Expedia never contacted the hotel about the issue but she agreed to credit the charges if Expedia canceled the 3 nights in their booking system so the hotel would not be charged the commissions for those nights. I forwarded the email with the hotel's request/agreement to Expedia but they did not have the courtesy to respond or professionalism to fix (or even acknowledge) what appears to be an error on their part. Expedia seems more concerned with protecting $119.85 worth of commissions than providing quality customer service and maintaining a long-term VIP customer. I will take my travel business elsewhere.

    I was approached by an Expedia representative in Cancun Mexico Hotel Riu. The representatives showed many Expedia excursions on their laptops and pictures depicting a wonderful Isla Mujeres excursion. For $245 dollars I was told along with being shown pictures of an awesome Island excursion, crystal clear calm watered snorkeling, lunch buffet in a world class facility and a day on the island and a catamaran with less than ten people and no children. A way better deal than taking the ferry to the island. Golf cart rental for the day and you can drive anywhere on the island.

    What we got was wasting 2 hours in line while people tried to sell overpriced things to the groups waiting to board. A catamaran with 40 people on it including children. Snorkeling in the middle of the ocean with severe waves. Children under 10 and anyone over 65 were not allowed to snorkel. Something else they left out. The guides told Spanish speakers the golf carts were $50 dollars an hour and you had to follow the guide, wandering around the island was not allowed. English speakers were told you can rent the golf carts and go anywhere you want all day. This was indeed not the fact they had to follow the guide and only for an hour. We were dumped on the south end of the island with over 300 other people in about a 200 yard area and the food "hotdogs, chips, chicken, were served under the trees in containers with heat canisters. Not what we were led to believe.

    There was not enough food for our group, so I went to another group to eat and was ran out without eating. There is limited shade on the strip the ocean was man made, murky and smelled like rotten lake water along with items floating in it. We were forced to sit in this small spot standing room only with hundreds of other people because the boats left us. Something else they failed to mention would happen. We were in this spot for almost 4 hours. Not what we were told was going to happen. By the time the boats came back, and everyone boarded it was 4:50 pm and we headed to the north shore where we docked and got to spend 30 minutes before we had to get back on the boat and head back. I sent multiple pictures and text to the Expedia representative, and he never replied. I tried to speak to him, and he refused to answer.

    When I spoke with Expedia, they stated they do not cover, guarantee, or have anything to do with excursions unless they are booked online even though it was their representative. I was told by Expedia staff Tokatoli it is their policy "Unwritten rule" if anyone books anything with their licensed agents for example in other countries in person with their rep like at the hotel, they will not cover any problems that come up. Expedia refused to help me and said I would have to deal with their representative in Cancun even though I am in the US, and he will not respond to me.

    I booked airfare with Expedia as I have for nearly two decades. I had to cancel it due to an emergency. It was non-refundable as most of the lower price airfare is nowadays, however I was issued a credit for one of the two tickets anyway and told that he simply needed to book his trip before the date of expiration not take it before that (I clarified this at the time).

    I went to book something for him the day before it expired because we just got to a point healthwise where we could safely say we might be able to go. And it wouldn't book. The Expedia website itself cautioned that once a trip is booked they can't add a voucher so get a virtual assistant to help, it couldn't so it got me a "premium assistant" aka a person. Who would only tell me over and over that the voucher was expired even though they admitted they could see on my acct it showed it was not yet. They said the acct was wrong and told me it was expired by 25 minutes. .... Really if this is all Expedia can do and they are charging the same price as the airline on the airline website why are any of us buying on here anymore anyway. There is no "deal".

    In planning a trip to California, I used Expedia to make our reservations. The trip needed to be extended one day due to the fact that my son in laws' masters graduation was moved up, and the whole purpose of the trip was to celebrate his accomplishment. Changing the plane reservation (outside of Expedia) was no big deal, changing the hotel (INSIDE of Expedia) was a bit more involved, but the hotel added the extra night to the existing reservation. Not so lucky with the car rental.

    Expedia refuses to amend the reservation, the rental car company states they need an email from Expedia, with the person I chatted with refused to comply. Their suggestion?? Make another reservation for the extra day. They want me to make a reservation, go back to the airport the next day and return and re-rent, and then use my original reservation. I'm not changing the dates, not canceling, ADDING more time, (thus more money) to my existing reservation. For this reason, I will never use Expedia again for my travel needs, as they are too difficult to work with if there is a need to make a change to a reservation.

Alamo also has not returned my email nor responded to my request for a refund.

    Fortunately, the hotel did both respond and refund the night stay I didn't use. Further, the HIDDEN price Expedia charged for their service was more than the airline tickets! They charged $500.00 for their service. I will NEVER go through Expedia again!

    Booked trip to New York in November 23. Expedia changes flights that are not to my benefit without any explanation or discount. Expedia shouldn't offer flights and times if they can't honor them when booked 5 months out from travel date. I realize airlines change their schedules but Expedia shouldn't be so quick to take your money and then change your itinerary without upgrading or offering a discount.

    Expedia.ca traps customers into booking, without being prompted to confirm or finalize, without being prompted for insurance, without being prompted to confirm that the booking is non-refundable, and without asking for the names of others attending. After accidentally booking, I IMMEDIATELY tried to cancel, explaining that it was an error and I did not mean to book but they simply said it was not in their hands since it was the hotel that had the no refund policy. It was the Expedia website that was confusing and misleading and they should take responsibility for their website that is a trap.

    I booked a non refundable pet-friendly condo in Cedar Key for two nights. The non-refundable pet-friendly charge was $476.50. Two nights are $155 each, $76.25 property fee, $49 service fee, and $41.25 taxes. I booked this nonrefundable pet-friendly hotel as the charges above were stated. I then received an email after booking that an additional $90 was due, $45 per night. So after I booked a nonrefundable reservation, the property management company wanted another $90. This fee was NOT disclosed when I booked on Expedia. This is unfair billing and highly unethical.

    TAAP is the travel agents' platform to make travel reservations for clients that tend to go international. My client booked an 8 day Thailand tour. He booked his flights, using Expedia. We received a notice on Christmas eve at just before midnight. I as the travel agent I viewed it on Christmas day. They were informing us that the client layover in San Francisco went from 3 hours to 11 hours. We viewed other available flights, and they had plenty - one that would have been exact on what were looking for - Called Expedia, they cannot help because Eva Airlines has the money.

    Called Eva, they said they had no problem allowing the change, but the first airline Alaska Airlines would have the answer for there airline. Agent was very helpful. She said Yes we would allow the change and they would only charge $25.00 but they cannot make the change because Expedia received the money, Called back to Expedia, and they Will not change it. They said it could only be rolled over to the same airlines - but the changes made, this is now the only flight that flies the route each day now. The only.

    The agent hung up on me... Her supervisor said they reviewed the tapes and she did intentionally hang up. Said it was an in house QA issue and they will retrain her??? But nothing to me or the customer for the employee's rudeness. The next day I called. This time I pulled up Expedia availability on flights on Expedia. Now they have a flight that has at the most 3 hours layover. While I was on the phone with a supervisor and pointing this available option and the flight was only $1073 when the amount originally paid which was $1473. They would not use the difference to cover the changes fees. And then depending on who you are speaking to changes fee was an addition $25 to $400. They would keep the $400 difference plus the the change fee and I would have had to keep the same airline. But it's their only flight each day...

    They said we could cancel, but refund would come in two different checks, and they have to be reviewed and processed before they can send a check - but it would not arrive in time for client to sail. So it would be paying for another flight because they would not transfer the funds via online or on platform. They are not budging even though flights are available. They could keep the difference but I am not paying the change fee at $400. I noticed as I climbed the management tree, changes fees kept getting more expensive. Because they changed the flight causing the extended layover in San Francisco - They should provide assistance in getting the customer a similar flight - it is called Ruling it over to another airline - but this they refuse as well.

    Expedia is a great platform online for fair fares. But when you deal with the people side, they refuse to see or understanding. The agents could not even get flights correct. Flights travel over the international date line so they put up a +1 or +2 which is referring to when you cross the international it is saying how many days the date changes by crossing the international dateline. EVERYONE I spoke to would see the +1 or +2 and say, you will layover 1 day at that location. No flights change in 3 hours but by going over the international date line it adds an extra days. They all said it believed it and described as so. I called the airlines. Both airlines said they had no issue with the changes but they could not make the changes because Expedia collected the money so that is who you speak with - which was logical. After being a Travel Advisor providing them business for 12 years and am a Premium list agency. Customer care is literally lost in today's world.

    Horrible to say the least! We booked a reservation for a vacation package to Montana. Needed to change the hotel only since the hotel listed was 5 hours away, 500 + miles away from the Bozeman Airport. The first call was brief as the representative gave us a number where no one answered, we tried multiple times and the call hang up itself. The next call transferred us over to the Cancellation line, even though we needed just a change in the hotel. The package was less expensive than the one we bought. Since this review is a real time review, we have been on the line for 2 hours and 10 minutes with no resolution. The representative keeps reminding us that it will be a re-book ing, therefore we would have to pay the $917 again.

    There is not relationship between the straightforward process of booking a package in a couple of minutes and making a change to the reservation, far in advance. Today is December 7th and our trip is booked for December 23th. Every so often the representative comes back to let us know that they are working to see our options and to remind us that according to EXPEDIA's Policy, this is a re-booking. Of course, the hotel clearly states that reservations may be cancelled without penalty 24 hours ahead of time. EXPEDIA continues to state that they are speaking with the hotel.

    No idea what the outcome will be as the representative just advised that the decision-makers at the hotel are not available tonight. It means that I will have to call back again tomorrow. I requested a reference number or Case ID. Still awaiting for that number to document my call. The waiting time feels like a punishment for an time change in a hotel reservation. Never again a booking through Expedia.

    I booked stay at a hotel in advance a few months back for a recent trip and prepaid through Expedia. This was my first time using Expedia. The reviews listed under that particular hotel on the Expedia website weighted heavily in my choice of that particular hotel. The second night of my stay. There was a violent assault in the room adjacent to me. I figured hotel security would be faster than the police so I called the front office. No security ever came. When I attempted a 911 call I was put on hold. Eventually I could stand it no more so I went to try to rescue the girl. Fortunately, I was able to stop the attack. Not bad for a 60 year old woman!

    Later, I went to the office to ask why no one came. I was told that security did go by twice but saw and heard nothing. When I informed them that I was standing at the window the whole time and no security arrived, their response was that only one person was checked into that particular room as if that meant no assault occurred.

    I assisted the girl in getting battered women's services, But there was no one there to get the man off the property. He knew both what room I was staying in and what car I was driving. I wanted nothing more than to vacate the premises immediately. I guess I should mention I have night vision issues and I was in an unfamiliar city. The closest hotels I did call that I thought I could drive to safely were all booked up. In other words I was trapped.

    I hid my car in another section of the motel property and spent the rest of the night lights on, sitting on the bed, staring at the door in case after the man got his fix (the girl said he went looking for **... somewhere on or near the property, I'm not clear which) he would come after me. I should also mention that while I was with the girl, a long time resident at this particular hotel told me that such events "happen all the time" and that it would have been better for me if I had just "rolled with it". Sorry, if I see someone in danger and there is no one else to help I have to do something!

    This complaint isn't about what happened. That is between me and the hotel. This complaint is about the fact that Expedia will not let me post a review of this property describing what happened. I was asked to revise it now three times. Three times I have written in clean language, truthful accounts of what occurred on that property on the second night of my stay.

    Several times already I have asked Expedia to specifically tell me what is wrong with my reviews but they will not respond to the question. Instead they tell me to reword it. My guess is they have flagged words such as "violent", "attack", "assault", "hurt" and "altercation" as inappropriate. These are various synonyms that I have attempted to get past their algorithm.

    Remember, the reviews showing on the Expedia site were considered before I booked this hotel. Given the long time resident's statement that such occurrences "happen all the time" and my review attempting to describe first hand knowledge of one I witnessed, one can only ask how many other travelers encountered the same events and their reviews, trying to warn of the unsafety of this (or, for that matter, others) property were never allowed.

    Obviously. I checked out as quickly as possible when I was able to the next morning meaning I did not use my third day of the day. I am still waiting to see if expedia will refund me that 3rd day. Whether or not I get the refund isn't the point. The point is, Expedia actively, whether it's through their algorithm or their review checkers, prevent reviews that speak to safety, thereby luring unsuspecting travelers into dangerous situations. Expedia reviews cannot be trusted if they don't care about the safety of travelers.

I relayed this information to Expedia, who still refused to refund the amounts paid for the wrong dates. I spent almost an hour arguing with several different Expedia agents about the "hotel policy." I had to raise my concerns with the hotel once again, who went back to Expedia and got me the refund. To make matters worse, when I booked through the hotel directly, the rate was actually cheaper.

It boggles the mind that a company the size of Expedia makes it's nearly impossible to update one's email address while I'm spending my money by using their service. Hotels.com, owed by the same company, does not have the same limitations. In fact, I've never had issues with updating anything with Hotels.com when I've had numerous bookings at play.

    To top it off, customer service wouldn't even try to change it themselves. I was consistently told "You must wait until your bookings have completed". Again, is this 2023 or 1923. Maybe... just maybe... it's 1523. This may be minor compared to many complaints but I'm a frequent traveler so I expect more from a company like Expedia. especially on something as simple as updating an email.

I contacted Expedia so that they may rectify the situation and send images of my account being charged by both. They contacted the hotel and informed me that the hotel did not have my card on file and the hotel only charged Expedia. They informed unfortunately they cannot help. When I asked if they can refund me for the charge from Expedia to rectify the issue. They then said they cannot assist even though they had proof of both charges.

    Why would Expedia charge $100 more than the hotel? Also why would Expedia not confirm the card used for the charge by the hotel that supposedly went to Expedia? I called the hotel and they informed they processed my card as Expedia. Should this not have been confirmed by Expedia? This is very unhelpful and unsatisfactory service from a company like Expedia that I've used to book many times.

    Expedia appears to have a serious problem with customer data integrity. If your phone number is the same or similar to someone else's -- for example, if someone in another country has a phone number that includes your phone number's digits -- then Expedia's system will allow each party to have access to all reservations made on the two accounts. So when you call up Expedia, you will hear both your reservations and the reservations made by the person who has the phone number that's close to yours. In my case, this meant that someone who has my # was able to cancel my reservations. And Expedia did absolutely nothing to help.

    Bought a trip to Porto this year one way flight 2 months in advance with all the insurances. I had to cancel 3 weeks before the flight 'cause my brother died. I sent them a proof and they offered me half of what I paid, comes to 450.00. Sum that I never received even after many recalls after 10 months...

    Do not EVER use this company to book ANYTHING! I booked a flight and car rental through Expedia. Paid car in advance. For both flight and car I purchased additional insurance. We get to Kansas City (around midnight). Mind you, we were on our way to a funeral the next day. We had been up since 5AM and were exhausted. We still had an hour travel by car once we picked up the vehicle (the reason for me paying in advance). We get to Alamo and they are closed. They directed everyone to the Enterprise counter. No biggie. I get to the desk, show my confirmation/reservation number from Expedia. They say they don't have a reservation. What? A confirmation is just that--I PAID IN ADVANCE! They can not even help me and tell me that Expedia is a third party and I would have to call them.

    At midnight, exhausted, and already dealing with a funeral, I try to contact Expedia. NO ONE PICKS UP, but instead you get to text back and forth with an agent, who clearly can not help you. Finally, my husband tries finding an Expedia agent to get a live agent. He succeeds. Meanwhile, I'm told by the car rep that the branch managers are not available until the morning. That's great. Did I mention we were going to a funeral? I was just broken. I'm so glad my husband was there as I did not have the emotional strength to deal with this chaos. I just wanted to get to our friend's house. We were so tired. After my husband contacts the LIVE agent the agent says, "Well you should be confirmed, I don't know why you aren't. I'm trying to contact the branch manager." I thought good luck with that because NO ONE is available at now 12:30 in the morning!

    Another car rep approaches us and says the only thing we can do is use another credit card and purchase a rental car. What? Purchase another rental--are you kidding me? He informed me they had plenty of cars but no reservation from Expedia--despite the fact that I'm showing him my confirmation number. Let's deal with a little semantics. Confirmation "[...to] make (a provisional arrangement or appointment) definite." The confirmation number CONFIRMS--makes it DEFINITE! So if a confirmation number does nothing, then better change the term from confirmation number to TENTATIVE number meaning: 'not certain or fixed; provisional." This is what I received---a TENTATIVE number because the confirmation number is a JOKE!!!! CUSTOMERS YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!! Sooooo...my husband pays ANOTHER $348 for a car rental. We were just outdone.

    After the funeral, we had to make a decision to cut our trip short because we had to straighten this matter out. I needed a refund on the car rental. Now to add to our expense, we had to get a hotel room the night before so we could speak to a manager before catching our early flight the next day. The night before our flight departure, we finally talked to a branch manager at Alamo. They took a few bucks off my husband's car rental booking after hearing of the chaos. They were SUPER nice! Again, they informed me that they had nothing to do with Expedia as they were third party and there was nothing they could do. She explained that when people book through Expedia, Expedia gets billed from the car rental place and that's how Alamo gets paid. So the car rental place has NOTHING to do with refunds. Understood.

    Sooooooooooooo....I wait until we get back to Houston and call Expedia. I get someone and they are very apologetic. The gentleman says someone from Alamo will call me by Saturday. What? Are you serious? Saturday? Who in God's name is working on a weekend? At this point I completely lost it, I informed him that I am NOT speaking to ONE more person! How many people am I going to be shoved on to? We have talked to everyone that needs to be talked to and each person apologizes and blames the other party. The gentle ensured me that I am going to get my money back no matter what, it's just that they have to open a claim with Alamo and they will have a few questions. He emailed me and ask that I show the receipt for when my husband rented the car. He also stated that he would talk to his supervisor to see what type of credits they would offer me for my inconvenience. That was it.

    DAYS later I receive an email from Expedia, again apologizing and stated (this is cut and pasted from the email):

    "Just a quick update, we're still working on your refund request with. We know you're hoping to hear back on and this, we'll reach out to you once they respond.

    Please let us know if you have any additional questions in the meantime – we're here for you and want to ensure you have a good travel experience.

    Are you kidding me? First of all, why are there typos? Contacting who? Let me guess the allusive Alamo branch manager? I am going to need Expedia to stop insulting my intelligence. NO ONE should have to go through the grieving process, deal with feeling stranded at an airport through no fault of our own, having to get an extra night hotel room, and on top of that be completely insulted by United who kept reminding me that we were the ECONOMY class (that's another story).

    I have traveled with Expedia many, many times--locally and overseas. I have NEVER had this type of experience. This is something I will NEVER forget. We feel we have been ROBBED! You stole money from us. You took money out of our account and did not deliver. I still have not been issued a refund since 10/11/23, which is when I called when I returned to Houston, not when the incident occurred. 14 DAYS LATER and NO refund. It is not up to me to wait until you straighten out billing with Alamo. I paid for something YOU DID NOT DELIVER! PERIOD!

    Thank you for making us pay double for a trip. We scraped all of our money together to be able to attend this funeral--and some dear friends even helped us. Thank you so much for adding to our grief. We not only lost a friend, but money to boot! YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES. WARNING TO EVERYONE: DO NOT EVER USE THIS COMPANY!!!! FRAUDULENT PRACTICES!!!!

    I booked hotel room in Washington DC for a national conference in October 2023. To hold the reservation Expedia required my credit card number, charging me ~$650 for 5 nights for the privilege. Out of my control my child became ill, and as a single parent I couldn't go, so with > 72 hours I cancelled my reservation. AND EXPEDIA REFUNDED NONE OF MY MONEY!

    Their customer service agent said that they couldn't help, blaming the hotel's policy. However, when I called to appeal with the hotel, they said that it was Expedia's policy only (the hotel's website stated that they refund reservation's funds). So essentially had I booked directly through the hotel, they would have given me a FULL refund. In this day and age with so much competition out there, why couldn't Expedia just have at least refunded me half of my $650? What did they actually do to earn $650? So not only did Expedia not do the right thing, they flat-out lied to me. I will never do business with them again. And you shouldn't either.

    Do not, under any circumstances book your flights through Expedia. Nor anything else for that matter. Since cancelling our trip because of Covid in 2020, I have spent over 100 hours on the phone trying to get refunded for accommodation, credit for flights and trying to rebook another trip. They work under the philosophy that they will thwart you at every turn hoping that you will eventually give up. Why is it that the first several agents you speak to are unable to find your reservation or help you in any way but after 4 or 5 hours and talking to the 10th or 12th agent they are able to help you and all of a sudden can find your information?

    If they tell you that you have to speak with the airline you are flying on it is just a ploy and a waste of time because Expedia has control of the tickets, not the airline you are booked on but they will do this over and over again. A complete and total nightmare and I will never, ever book through Expedia again and want others to know that they shouldn't either!!

    I live in Miami FL, I bought a flight and stay to Santorini, specifically at the Sunny Villas Hotel, Expedia coordinated a Miami-London-Santorini connection for me. The initial flight to London was a little delayed so when I arrived in London the flight to Santorini was already left. At the London airport they helped me with a connection, but the closest was London-Munich-Athens-Santorini. Finally I arrived at the hotel at 1am in the morning, a hotel where there was no one to receive me, which was closed and without reception service, and at that time in the morning I contacted Expedia but they said they couldn't do anything.

    I had to return to the Santorini airport to start at that time to look for a flight back to Miami, a flight that cost me more than 5000 dollars since it was back Athens-London-NY-Miami, Expedia says that the hotels have their refund policies and that they can't do anything, so, from the beginning everything is Expedia's fault because coordinates very tight flights of time when they know that it takes a minimum of 2 hours to pre-check, in addition to allowing their businesses like the Sunny Villas Hotel to steal money from their clients, Expedia is not reliable for doing business because it leaves its clients stranded, in the other side of the earth, Expedia knows that everything is true since I have proof of tickets, calls to Expedia CS and the claim number that they gave me. So, if you are thinking of doing business with Expedia, go to another platform more reliable.

    When I arranged for a flight and rental car "bundle" with Expedia for a trip to Portland OR, I was told that I would need to present a driver's license and credit card with "sufficient funds" as a deposit in order to actually get the car. But Expedia never indicated what they thought was "sufficient". (My MasterCard had $125 credit which I thought was sufficient, over and above the $436 I had already prepaid.)

    When I arrived late at night at the Thrifty Car Rental at the Portland Airport, I was told they needed $200 credit on the card as a deposit and so refused to give me the car. (They neglected to tell me I could have given $200 cash as a "deposit.") But they said Expedia would give me a refund. I ended up paying $276 for a private car and driver to take me to Salem OR, which is about an hour south. When I contacted Expedia, they denied my refund request --- even though I never received the service they promised -- the rental car -- that I had pre-paid in full! So no car AND no refund! That's called theft, in my book!

    Worst Management and Customer Service for an apartment that I've had in 20 years of travel. The lister is GlobalStay but they use Expedia and Expedia allows them to continue even though their reviews on Expedia and their ads are lies. Look anywhere else online and you'll see the REAL REVIEWS. Expedia does not care and will not do anything about them. Therefore I have to assume that Expedia is fine with the following treatment, lies and threats, to their customers. I will never trust them again after this. Any company that allows another company to use their services and then to threaten their customers is not a company that I want to deal with again.

    This is what happened to me using Expedia and Globalstays. First things first both of their customer service is beyond bad! If you have a company like Globalstay using your service and they make as many mistakes as this one, you really want GOOD customer service. Both companies have people that only make matters WORSE. It is so obvious that they just do not care. Poor people probably paid minimum wage to deal with upset customers. Both companies are obviously those that once they get your money they know you are stuck because you are travelling and that is it to them.

    My first issue arose the second I arrived. Instead of forking over the $30 to get a place to leave the key inside the building for people, Globalstay put a lock box on the bicycle racks outside of the bank. After 40 minutes of trying to figure it out finally found it all the while listening to homeless street people scream obscenities at me. The box is so old it took 9 tries before it would pop open and give me the key! The stuff they sent me pre arrival said parking was $20 a day. It's actually been $40 a night. Then we get to the apartment itself. First thing, yes there is a tv but unless you bring hookups for your computer or Chromecast you won't be watching any tv as it is not a smart tv and is hooked up to absolutely NOTHING!

    Wifi has no notes about it anywhere, so I simply looked at the back to get the password. Well they've changed it but don't mention it to you ANYWHERE! This involved yet another EMAIL because the phone numbers listed just go to voicemail and never pick up or call you back. I literally had enough toilet paper to go pee one time. I'm here for 4 days. The tub had not been cleaned, there were gobs of soap on the handles. It literally looked like someone had jerked onto it!

    I have 1 more nights here and frankly am very worried about being walked in on or having people show up and ask me to leave as they have not done things legally for this apartment and there are signs EVERYWHERE saying short stay rentals are not allowed and are in fact ILLEGAL, the way they've chosen to do them.

    Places like Globalstay would not survive if places like Expedia did anything about bad reports. When you pay what I paid and you are putting in 13 hour days for classes you really don't want to have to deal with this kind of garbage from a company that is supposed to deal in HOSPITALITY! I'm not sure they even know the meaning of that work and they definitely do not know the meaning of customer service.

    I use Airbnb normally, this time I went through Expedia. I will never use Expedia again after this experience. At least Airbnb helps you out if something goes wrong. Unfortunately, the way I did it this time, going through Expedia left me with no one to go to but these people, who do not care once they have your money and will simply leave you in a crappy position because they can not bother to do things right or help their customers.

Response was, "Oh they canceled it because that flight is booked" but then I asked her, "Why is it showing it’s available?" So now I have to wait until the payment is posted to my account in order for me to get my funds. The lady accent was so strong somehow was getting agitated because I didn’t answer her.

    On several occasions after booking flights through Expedia I have had to cancel. I was given a "credit" for the amount at issue, but when I attempted to redeem the credits they were essentially worthless. For example I booked a trip to New Orleans once that cost roughly $600. Had to cancel. Two days later I tried to rebook that, for a week later. Went on Expedia and found the SAME flight, same times, for exactly the same price. Called Expedia (as required) to use my $600 credit. Was told that credit could not be used on "that kind of fare." It was of course exactly the fare I'd used for the original purchase. They then offered me multiple New Orleans flights on the same days for $1400+. Of course, the only sensible thing to do was buy ANOTHER $600 fare. This has happened repeatedly, in various forms.

    Today I tried to use a credit on United but of course when trying to book through Expedia there are NO United flights for the return leg, and thus I can't use the credit. I've also had multiple occasions where after booking a car rental through Expedia the final cost is literally twice the quote. The car rental agency shrugs and says "Don't use Expedia. Book directly." Very good advice.

    Expedia is leading customers to believe that this is an upscale mountain resort and IT IS NOT! Because the hotel is under construction the pictures on the site ARE NOT the experience you are in for. The "Lobby" is a converted suite that is basically the convenience store, breakfast area, and staff breakroom all in one. If you are lucky enough to get a parking space in the garage (Maybe 30) don't plan on getting out easily. Otherwise, you have to park a 5-minute walk away and pay $45 a day.

    On top of this, when purchasing some snacks I overheard the front desk associate giving OUR room away. If I hadn't been standing there someone would have walked into my wife and I's room thinking it was theirs. No AC in any rooms, thin walls, and the smoke alarm went off from 7:30 pm until 9:30 pm on Sunday night. This is the worst experience I have ever had at a hotel all thanks to Expedia lying and displaying images of a hotel that was not operational. BAIT AND SWITCH!!

    You get that great room rate but is it in fact the same room when you arrive? Is it paid for? You may think so but BEWARE!!! They changed my room AND the Hotel charged me an additional $115 basically because Expedia and the Hotels are not in sync and honest contractually. Is your reservation refunded if you cancel? My Car refund was denied!!!

    I paid Expedia full price up front. Once I arrived the Car Rental could not rent to me based on the fact they needed my paperwork for proof of full coverage or the declaration page. No problem right? Well I could not access data and did not carry this item with me. So I cancelled based on this. Only to be told by the Car Rental that Expedia will have to refund. I agreed as I paid them in the first place. Expedia denied this refund. This is criminal. This is fraudulent and this is the very reason to not use Expedia. They do not care about you! I did not rent the car yet they expect me to pay for it!!! Never again!

    We booked a trip through Expedia. When we arrived the hotel we booked was closed for renovations. It took an hour to reach Expedia. By then we had to book somewhere else for double the price. Expedia was not concerned at all. They gave us a refund for the trip and since it was a package told us how much we were getting which was only half of the cost of the rooms we had to book somewhere else. They blamed it on the hotel which was Days Inn in Memphis Tennessee which is horrific. I tried to reach out to them by live chat and they couldn't care less about your problems. They are making reservations without checking to be sure the hotels are open. They just want your money. Do yourself a favor and do not book with them. Read all reviews of hotels. They make you think they will back you but they do not. You will be left stranded like we were.

    Due to a weather, our flight was canceled. We called Expedia multiple times to inform them that it was not our fault and requested that they either book us another flight, follow up on our hotel reservation, or at the very least refund our money. However, they did not provide any of these services and did not even follow up properly. Every time we called, they simply told us to call back the next day for a response from the hotel. We even offered to pay for another flight ourselves, but we have to know our room still is available or not? Or if it is not can you provide us another room? They insisted just wait.

    Finally they told, "Your room is gone due to no show up." We told, "It is not our fault. Please offer us another room or at least our refund," but just they told, "I understand but we can not do anything!!!!" The. We had purchased a package from them and expected better customer service. Unfortunately, we received the worst service possible and would have been better off booking everything ourselves. Additionally, our time off work is limited and we are unable to take any further action. They provided no services for this situation and didn't even offer any compensation.

The price for the rooms was wrong and they required a deposit before they would rent you the room. None of this was available through the website Expedia.com. Expedia charged my card for all the rooms and refuses to give me my money back. They want to give me reward points. Called customer service and spoke to a foreign gentleman who was no help and couldn’t understand basic English. He was useless.

    I have used Expedia for years and never had to contact them before, but when I needed their help, wow, what a mess. First of all, my flight to Europe was delayed causing me to miss my connecting flight which resulted in me having to stay 24 hours in a foreign country and pay for a hotel where I was supposed to fly into and now couldn't use. Therefore, the first day and a half of our vacation we were enormously stressed and sleep deprived.

    I know well enough that this is not Expedia's fault. I blame the airline for this, obviously. But then I got an email from expedia saying that we were entitled to compensation because of this debacle. Great. That makes sense given what the airline put us through. I called Expedia about this and they didn't know what I was talking about. The person on the phone heavily implied that I was either lying or crazy. Finally, after an hour plus on the phone, I was able to forward him the email from his own company and he then told me that he had determined I was being truthful. Well, that's great.

    He then forwarded my call to someone else who, another half hour later, told me that I wasn't entitled to anything because - and I'm quoting here - I am "a person and not a package." Why, I asked, was I emailed by Expedia that I was entitled to compensation for the nightmare the airline put us through if I wasn't entitled to anything? Expedia had no answer for that, and certainly no apology.

    So in summary, I went though hell with the airline, the first two days of our vacation were ruined, we tried to get past it and were relieved when Expedia informed us that we were entitled to some compensation only to be treated like liars by Expedia and told that they don't know why they said we were entitled to anything because we weren't. I have booked every single trip I have taken through Expedia for years and years and am in disbelief in how they treat me the one time I contact them. Ridiculous.

    I booked a trip package with Expedia. It was a 3 night, 4 day trip to New Orleans. We were able to cancel up until Aug 5th. Our trip was to be from August 8th to August 11th. The package was using Delta Airlines for the Toronto to New Orleans and Air Canada for our return. 8 hours before boarding we can an email saying Delta flight has been cancelled and rescheduled for the 9th. We had to cancel the hotel and now lose a day. NO one is willing to extend our trip to the leave on Saturday instead of the Friday. We paid for 4 days and 3 nights but are getting short changed.

    When talking to Expedia customer service, they say it isn't their responsibility, it was on the Delta Airline. When I call Delta, they say there's nothing they can do since the return flight is with Air Canada. When talking to Air Canada, they say Delta or Expedia need to change the flight (which is in our right since Delta cancelled within 72 hours) yet no one is willing to change our flight. We feel that Expedia is washing their hands of everything. They create a package with two separate airlines so that they can wash their hands of situations like this. This is unfair and disappointing for customers who, in good faith, purchase packages from Expedia.

    Theft is what my experience amounts to. Theft and incomprehensible idiocy. We were traveling home to California from Indiana via car, and taking things in a spur of the moment manner, not really knowing exactly where we’d need a hotel each night. Do each day we’d drive and then by late morning we’d see what hotels were in the area we then knew we’d be. So we’re in western Iowa on the 29th of July and decided we’d stay the night in or around kimball, South Dakota. Plenty of hotels to pick from. Found one on Expedia, and it was a pay at hotel deal. I checked the email confirmation and it said 7/30 not 7/29. Hmmm, that’s weird and not right since by 7/30 we’d be somewhere in Montana.

    I immediately got on chat with Expedia customer service and the agent apologized for the trouble and that (let these words sink in) ”the date was changed because there were no rooms at the hotel for the 29th." I told her, "How on earth would your reservation boy just choose to book the next night. Without so much as a warning?" No answer to this. I told her I needed a room in kimball for the 29th, that night, and if this booked place had nothing available then I sure better not be charged for a night I didn’t even book. She reassured me that she was going to call the hotel while I held. She said she did and she said that she had gotten approval and confirmation that the hotel would not charge me for the host hotel stay on the 30th which was then the next day. I thought everything was handled.

    The next day there’s a charge on our bank for the stay from the hotel itself, which I didn’t even book directly with I was livid again. I chatted with Expedia, who once again apologized and said that they could see in their records that the agent from the prior day had gotten confirmation that the hotel would not charge us so they were going to find out what it happened but that Expedia wasn’t responsible for the charges. They made sure to say that. So I hold again and she returns and says they couldn’t find the person who approved not charging us, and that they declined to issue the refund .

    I then called to request escalation and got it, but it was just the same policy **, and a lame offer from the hotel to book a different night at no charge. Lunacy. Was long since past South Dakota and have no future plans to visit…I’m still trying to get Expedia to at least answer my questions: why did they think it’s acceptable to change my date? Why did the hotel say they wouldn’t charge me and did? Why did they charge me in the late afternoon on the 30th as a no show, when if I HAD been able to keep that stupid reservation I didn’t make, it wouldn’t have been a no show yet anyway? I’m appalled at this theft and crap approach by a huge greedy company. Shady AF and It’s just too bad they have a stranglehold on this market. Terrible, anti-human money grab. Less than zero stars for an amoral gutter snipe of a company.

    The app only has a bot attending to all problems, and it is extremely unhelpful, as it doesn't recognize any issues that deviate from the algorithm. The issue of app not working apparently is not on their list! I don't know how I would travel, since I cannot do anything with these reservations on my phone.

Expedia do not care. They got your money. I bought the insurance AIG and again no money back. AIG says the only excuse I have to get my money back is if I got sick and I have a doctor's note. Almost $500 I lost with this dilemma and a huge headache. I work so hard for the money, and I never use the hotel and they stole my money and there is nothing I can do. Such a white-collar robbery.

    I recently rented a car at Pisa airport in Italy through Expedia. The car rental company was called OK Mobility. The car rental company's agent denied my rental because she was mistaken about the documents required to do so. I addressed this problem to Expedia sending them the rules and regulation for rentals on the car rental website to show their rental agent had made a mistake. Expedia never attempted to correct the problem properly and answered my many attempts to contact them with the vague answer that they couldn't change the vendor's decision. I was charged the full rental although the fault was clearly the vendor's and Expedia in no way took responsible or refunded money to me. Lesson here, always rent directly from car companies because Expedia will not hold their vendors accountable and refund your money.
