    Reginette ** was very helpful in reviewing my specific request in a timely manner. Despite a busy time to be working and processing these cancellation requests, Reginette managed to get things sorted out very quickly and I greatly appreciated that! It was nice to have clear communication of what was happening every step of the way. Highly recommend.

    My trip to Seattle was impacted by COVID-19 and I was asking for the refund of my hotel reservation. The reservation number with PASSPORT is **. Miurica took care of my refund request and helped me get refund successfully. I'd really appreciate her help particularly in this extraordinary and difficult time.

    I made reservations for an August 2020 wedding in early February not knowing the COVID-19 pandemic would change everyone's lives, and thus the need to cancel my hotel reservations as well. I contacted Hotel Planner to do so. My first conversation with Naomi was responsive and helpful. However, I lost cell service and my subsequent correspondence and conversations were with Karen C who was equally helpful. As I was looking for a refund, Karen worked hard with me through many email correspondences to make sure that I received one, which I am very pleased to say I did! Karen persevered in making this happen, during what has been a stressful time for consumers and business alike. I appreciate and thank her for her hard work and help during these times and making this happen!

    Hello I am the director of sales for a hotel that has worked with HotelPlanner for over 30 years. In my 30 years I have never had so much trouble reaching a company. I understand with Covid that more people are working from home and fewer people available, however I have left over 10 messages with the accounting department and the account owner asking for a call to go over an invoice from March. It would not be a big deal however, the invoice is wrong, the contract the account manager has for Hotel Planner is wrong and our account has been deactivated for several weeks now because of the invoice.

    I have been nice, I have been stern and I have been angry with no resolve. In this time of a new normal it is very frustrating that we are losing potential business every day because we can not respond to leads. I really need someone from Hotel Planner to return my call so we can get this handled. This is horrible customer service and follow up and last time I checked I too am the customer. My next call will be with IHG corporate and to file an official complaint with them about this situation. I will continue to follow up until someone from Hotel Planner can return my call. Thank you.

    Original Review: June 16, 2020

    I was double billed for a hotel room. I booked and paid for a hotel Friday then was charged again on Tuesday. It's been a full week now. I have called everyday and emailed also sent messages on Facebook. NO RESPONSE!! I just want my money back this is ridiculous. Every agent is busy assisting other customers. When I call forced to leave a voicemail. Funny when I call for a new booking I get someone right away with no wait time. I tell them my situation and they tell me to email and give me an email address and still no response! Worst customer service ever!!

    I recently went online to book a hotel in Dallas for two nights in June 2020. I knew that I wanted to stay at a specific hotel and googled the hotel. I saw a phone number which said to call to book. I assumed that because of Covid 19 restrictions I could not book online. I called that number thinking I was talking directly to the hotel front desk.

    The person who answered did not identify that I was talking to Hotel Planner. I booked the room and was told I could cancel up to 24 hours before my reservation. I was never told that there was a nonrefundable booking fee. When I received my email confirmation, I was informed that a $29.99 service fee had already been charged to my credit card which was not refundable. I have called three times in the past week and left messages trying to get my money back and no one has returned my calls. I feel that this charge was fraudulent since I was never informed of the service/ booking fee.

    I need to make 2 ratings of my experience. Although you see only 2 stars that was for the process of asking for a refund. I would award 4 stars to my Reservation navigator Reginette **. Although I imagined there was the confusion and mass cancellations due to COVID-19 on the website Hotel Planner.com, I felt it was very challenging to navigate the refund process in this special situation when our hotel cancelled the wedding party and closed the hotel due to the Virus. I was put on LiveChat hold from noon to 4 PM when told the service was closed.

    I wrote several times for assistance, and made several calls without success. Thankfully two events allowed me to get some satisfaction: the first was that another member of the wedding party finally connected with a real person for Hotel Planner, who explained what website to use to request a refund, and second our reservation specialist, Reginette ** who made contact via email with me. She was polite and explained some of the process. I never did understand if I was to use the Consumer Affairs site before the refund was received so held off until I saw the refund credited to my credit card account about 2 months later from my initial attempts.

    Ordinarily I would never try to get a refund from a non-refundable hotel reservation but due to the COVID-19 and the hotel closing, it was a special circumstance and I would have appreciated Hotel Planner reaching out to me via email with the refund detail process instructions. I can say that a friend had Expedia email him and was told immediately that his non-refundable reservation had been credited, even before he tried to get a refund. Please consider improving your refund processes in the advent that we have another such unforeseen circumstance that is no one's fault. Thank you Ms ** for your help.

    I work at a hotel that Hotel Planner has assisted with getting us a group back in February. After the group left they asked for my pick up report of how many rooms booked in the block. The room revenue was included on this report. They sent an invoice for more than the commission due so when I sent the amount for the correct commission with all the appropriate back up they still keep hounding me down the difference ($13.20) plus additional late fees???? Of course I get emails, I reply, they don’t read them so they keep requesting the overcharged commission due and I try to call - no answer, no one seems to be working in the office, Boone reads their emails, etc. This is a scam.

We were given a voucher to used at a later date with an increased amount of our original booking! Wonderful customer service,

    We had to cancel our hotel reservation for the end of March, 2020 because the wedding venue closed due to COVID-19. We had booked a non-refundable reservation because we were sure we would attend the wedding. Then the pandemic happened. It was not easy to get a refund -- I talked twice to Chat agent -- and waited and waited -- then e-mailed -- and then Charity ** contacted me by e-mail. It still took more than a month and several e-mails but we were able to get a refund. Ms. ** was very polite and professional in her correspondence and was able to help with our requests. I appreciate her help and that the company was willing to help in this unusual time. Thank you to all who were involved.

    We had reserved a stay with a hotel via HotelPlanner.com a few months back before the COVID-19 crisis. After everything was locked down, we were unable to keep our travel plans as hoped, thus we needed to cancel our reservation. I connected with an agent via chat on Hotel Planner and was able to submit my cancellation request quickly and easily. Though it took several days for the request to be processed (understandable given the circumstances), I was contacted via email with the offer of a hotel voucher +10% good for 1 year in lieu of a refund. Normally I would accept this exchange, but our plans for the coming year would not likely allow for another hotel stay, so I requested the refund. The associate was able to quickly offer the refund to me then. I am pleased with my experience of Hotel Planner.

    Whatever you do DO NOT get involved with this company. My experience was a total nightmare. I attempted to start my refund process April 1, 2020 due to corona virus. That’s when I was first under the impression that Hotel Planner had started my refund. I got on their website & it said my reservation was still active. So I went ahead & just canceled it myself since you can’t ever get ahold any of person on their phone line. There were times where I’d spend hours calling the phone number repeatedly for hours trying to speak to a person. Finally one day I was able to speak to someone named Naomi **. She was one of the few helpful people in the whole company. She actually seemed to care about my situation. She referred me to her manager Karen ** who asked me if I wanted a cash voucher or a refund. I wanted a full refund since my reservation was $900. She said she would request the refund.

    I emailed her about 10 days later looking for an update. She didn’t give me any sort of an update. She just said give it up to 30 days. So 8 days before it was almost 30 days I emailed Karen again for some sort of an update. She said “we can give you a cash voucher”. I was flabbergasted. Almost a month of not being able to contact anyone on the phone & dealing with my refund I couldn’t believe that was her response. At that point I had no idea if my refund was even started yet. That’s when I came to this website to read the reviews to see if there was SOME sort of hope for getting my $900 back.

    That’s when I saw someone put April ** email from hotel planner on one of the reviews. I reached out to her out of desperation because apparently she was very helpful based off the review. And I’m glad I did! April was able to approve my refund that day & get it processed for me. I finally got my full amount back May 5th. There are some good people in the company. 30 days is a very very long time to wait with no sort of updates. Not to mention they lost my trust since it was next to impossible to get ahold of anyone over the phone & never got my refund rolling the first time I tried. At one point I was even told not to post negative reviews. So I’m sure they will delete this. But I would never leave a positive refund about what I went through. This was one of the worst experiences I’ve had to deal with in a long time.

    Due to covid, I was not able to go to Miami and use the hotel. IT took 2 months to finally get an answer that I will be getting my refund. I have not got the refund yet in my bank account, but I am trusting that I will. Karen handled it as nicely as possible. For me, it was difficult cause I called probably 20 times about it (lots of on hold time) and emailed many times and I was getting the run around. I just wish they would of refunded me from the very beginning and not put me through so much heartache. If I did not pursue getting the refund, I would not have ever got it. SO I thank Karen for finally realizing that I deserve it and took the time to process it and do the right thing.

    In early March, before the shuts downs due to the virus, we booked a room in the same hotel as our daughter who was attending a seminar. Once we received confirmation that the event was postponed and moved to a different date, we needed to cancel our reservations. I had booked my daughter's room through the actual hotel and while booking our room thought the site we were on was also the hotel's. It wasn't until we had to cancel that I was told that in fact, my booking was through a 3rd party and had to deal directly with them. I will say, that the end result was satisfactory, however, the journey was not.

    I reached out to HotelPlanner through the email address and asked for assistance regarding needing to cancel our reservation. I needed direct contact as, the other thing I discovered with our reservation was, it had a "no changes, no cancellation" clause. Considering the world events being out of our control, I hoped for a change of heart on behalf of the company. I sent a couple of emails and received what looked like an "auto reply." I left 3 phone messages after waiting on hold each time for 10 minutes. I did in the end, through frustration, have to make a threat of going "public" with my issue, but really wanted to resolve it through direct contact.

    That's when I was contacted by Miurica ** in the customer service department. She was very helpful and answered the questions I had, and in the end she was able to cancel the reservation without losing the money that was paid. Although it wasn't refund, the voucher that was offered was increased in value by an additional 10%. I appreciate the work Miurica did on our behalf and we are looking forward to putting the voucher to use once things start to get straightened out in the world. Thank you again Miurica.

    My event was cancelled half way through the reservation due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Everyone was sent home to self-isolate, as they call it now. I tried speaking to the front desk at the hotel, but they said there was nothing they could do for me because, to my surprise, I had actually used a “travel agent” of some sort, unbeknownst to me! I thought I had called the hotel directly, but apparently not. The agent lied about booking at a “sister” hotel after the first property was full. After a call to the agent, who sent me to “Priceline.com”, who then sent me to “hotelplanner.com”, I was finally offered a resolution to the cancelled reservation. Hopefully people will be able to travel again within the year!

    I just wanted to share my experience and feedback with working with HotelPlanner. I recently attempted to cancel a hotel booking a week or so before the actual hotel was scheduled as I wasn't able to physically make it to the hotel due to the COVID-19 travel restrictions. And I reached out to their customer support a week before and I didn't hear anything. And then the day came and passed and I didn't hear anything. I called, I emailed, and a month later, I finally got a response. A lot of back and forth to actually even get the hotel cancelled and refunded. And eventually, I was asked whether or not I wanted to get the refund back onto my credit card which would take a full 30 business days or if I wanted to get a voucher for HotelPlanner which would take-- basically, it would be instant. I made it explicitly clear that I only wanted the credit card details. I am not interested in working with HotelPlanner ever again. And then two days later, they sent me an email with a voucher for HotelPlanner and not a credit card refund. I worked with Charity on their support team whose phone constantly just went straight to voicemail, emails went unread and unanswered. And I can't say how disappointing the entire experience is and I will never ever be giving HotelPlanner any of my money again. Their customer support has been horrendous. And I still haven't got a refund. It's been about a month and a half. So if you're interested in customer support, please stay away. It's definitely not worth it.

    I have made several attempts for a refund on a hotel room that was due to the coronavirus statewide shut-down. None of my calls have been returned and I have only received vague emails about a "voucher" being issued instead. I don't want a travel voucher. I would like a full refund in the amount of $616.37 credited back to my card. I have written confirmation (and a receipt) from Grand Sierra Resort that they have issued the full amount back to HotelPlanner.com. I just ask that you would pass along the refund to me since the event was cancelled by the NCVA, who you arranged the booking for and the hotel is closed and not accepting any guests or reservations all month. Please just issue the refund for the amount I had been charged. You have already received a full refund from the hotel.

    Refund from Winner's Circle Resort. My wife and I (who live in Dallas), plus two friends from the UK, had planned an overnight stay at the Winner's Circle Resort on May 23rd 2020. The reservation was advertised as non refundable. However, due to the shutdown of all TransAtlantic flights, and the government mandate to keep all domestic flights to essential trips, we took the decision to cancel our vacation at this time, and re-book at a safer time in the future. We are all seniors in our 70's, so didn't want to risk our health. We had six hotels or houses booked, and all offered a refund or credit voucher, except the Winner's Circle. They stuck to the legal response that no refunds, or re-booking would be allowed.

    I spoke with the General Manager, and he confirmed the same stance. I wrote to the hotel on a number of occasions, but finally opened up an online chat with your customer service rep, Charity **. Charity was a breath of fresh air in this log jam. She truly went to bat for us all, and after many tries, and frustrations, she finally secured a credit voucher from the Winner's Circle for future accommodation. Without Charity's help we would not have gotten satisfaction. A job well done, Charity. Thank you. Sue and Howard **. Alex and Jill **.

    Recently, I needed to reschedule a booking for a hotel due to the Covid-19 global crises. I signed a no change/no cancellation policy when I initially made the booking, so I reached out to the general "help" email to see what my options were. I received an email back a few days later from Reginette who politely informed me that the my reservation changes would be up to the hotel I had the reservation with.

    About a week and many emails later I ended up with anything but answers. Each contact I made after Reginette just pointed a finger to another establishment and said "they will help you". Frustrated, I tried Reginette again and told her about my "wild goose chase". She responded within just a couple of hours and let me know that she received approval to modify my reservation internally and took care of everything from there. Overall, I am very satisfied with my experience. Reginette was very polite and timely with her responses; great customer service all around!

After experiencing extreme difficulty being able to reach a single person during the COVID-19 pandemic to cancel my reservation I finally was able to cancel. I was promised a full refund to my card at that time. I was then issued a credit to use their terrible service again in place of a refund. I have wasted so much of my time attempting to resolve this issue and I am so extremely disappointed with this service. If I could give less than 1 star I absolutely would.

Email-no response and phone- no answer. Just told me to contact hotel which I did. Very disappointed in the ability to talk to a real person and get this resolved.

She was so kind over the phone and I was so happy I got her. Amidst of all the virus chaos and I'm sure they were getting large volumes of request, she was able to stay calm and gave me all the information I needed. She said that in 7-14 days I would be able to get my refund back, thanks to Charity. I would give Charity 5 stars, but I give Hotelplanner 4 stars..

    Original Review: March 26, 2020

    Now, credit where credit is due. We have used HotelPlanner in the past and have found the pre-sale service and prices to be good. We had even referred friends/family to the service. A couple of stars for making the booking process smooth and painless. This time, however, was a very different experience. My partner and I have been wanting to go on a vacation to Hawaii for quite some time (we're from Canada).

    We've been diligently saving and planning for our trip for over a year. And then COVID-19 hit and travel restrictions prevented us from going. Although I understand that the original booking was non-refundable, I was hoping to reach out and speak with a representative in light of our current unprecedented situation as this represents many, many months of savings. I have left multiple messages over the past week, voice and online, but I have yet to hear back from anyone.

    I understand it is a difficult time for the hospitality and travel industry, but our tour and bookings offered a quick response and a full refund. Westjet reached out to offer no-fee cancellation (for a non-refundable flight). Airbnb offered a no-penalty full refund (original policy was 50% refund less service fee) on the cottage we had originally booked for the second leg of our adventure. However, I did not see any information addressing the current situation on the website so I reached out, to no avail.

    I appreciate that contact volumes are likely high in the current environment but the unacknowledged requests especially during this difficult time feels a little like a response of "we're busy, and you've already paid". PS. There is some irony since an article off hotelplanner LinkedIn quotes CEO Hentschel "Not allowing discounted bookings, as well as the flexibility for date changes and cancellations are no longer practical in today’s world where travel plans can be disrupted by government restrictions and other external factors."

    I had received a DreamGiver Travel Savings Card from my local florist, which I researched legitimacy before booking a hotel trip through their service. I will say my overall experience with them and Hotel Planner has been extremely exceptional. The booking interface was intuitive, and more importantly, my recent interaction with their CS was handled swift and courteously. Due to the current condition our nation and world is in, I had called last Wednesday to request a refund. Shockingly, my call was answered immediately (was never placed on hold) and the gentleman on the other end handled my claim within minutes after gathering basic information about my reservation. He informed me that my request was going to be transferred over to their department that handles refunds and that I should receive an email or phone call within 7-10 business days.

    Exactly one week later, I was delighted to receive an email from Karen, the Individual Service Supervisor, that my refund was being processed. I worked in customer service for a few years myself and understand how stressful and busy it can get. Nonetheless, this team handled my claim in the most pleasurable way.

    When you call them they talk so fast you will have to ask them to repeat. They are not local and are very difficult to understand. Once you book with them, that's the end of service to you. I booked a hotel with them recently. Then the coronavirus came along and due to this illness, as every one knows, all pubic places have been shut down such as my booked Hilton Hotel in Hurst, Texas. The Hilton Hotel has told me that they are not going to bill Hotel Planner. Several times I have called Hotel Planner and no one will work with me on this.

    Like many of the people on this site I too have been having issues getting a refund for a wedding cancelled. I have conntacted customer service 3 times within the past 2 weeks and have not had my issues resolved. Even with Covid-19 we were going to keep our travel plans but the hall where our reception was supposed to take place cancelled on us. We would have had no place to celebrate our event. Even if we did not get a refund we wanted to at least get a credit or something to use at the same hotel at a later date. However with my 3 tries I have not gotten a complete response on if I am or am not going to get a refund and or credit.

    So I am trying to post here and hopefully get an update to my issue. I know we are in a trying time for everyone but it would be helpful to get some type of communication. The first time I got someone who was helped and said they would put in a request and I would get an answer in 3-5 days but that time has already passed and I have tried again to contact someone with no success. Please help.

    Made reservations for an overnight stay in Pensacola, Florida, at the Best Western Blue Angels Inn. Our school trip was cancelled due to the corona virus outbreak and I wasn't sure if our hotel would be refunded. I had booked a nonrefundable reservation in error. Due to our cancellation, I was not sure if we would be refunded. It took a few days to finally get ahold of someone (due to the saturation of calls) but I ended up getting a call from a Supervisor- yes a supervisor - who was very polite and understanding.

    I had already called the hotel and had a name of someone to give to her, whom she could speak with. She had to call the hotel and verify that it was not a problem to cancel and no penalties given - We were able to get a refund and I received a prompt email back from the same supervisor. I would recommend choosing the refundable cancellation when making your reservation- I am looking forward to staying at the same Hotel that did the right thing. Good Job everyone.
