    I would like to commend Reginette ** for exemplary customer service. I have had the misfortune to have to cancel a two night reservation costing over $250 due to coronavirus and Reginette stayed in contact with me throughout the process, was polite, friendly and efficient. I cannot speak highly enough of the service I have received.

    My aged parents needed to cancel a hotel reservation for a wedding in June. I helped them cancel and due to weeks in advance assumed it was going to be a credit back to their credit card charge. They never saw the credit and I called for an update at HotelPlanner and we reviewed the case. They said it needed to go to another department, of which Karen ** started helping out. After a couple of emails and explanation, she agreed to giving my parents a refund versus a hotel credit they could not have used as they no longer travel due to their age. This one event was their exception.

    Personally, I would never use this company to book a room ever again and I would advise the viewers to do the same. The room I booked was advertised for $84. I clicked on the website (I thought it was Hotels.com) and was told by Hotel Planner that it was $126. When I checked in at the hotel the manager told me the room rates are $84. He told me Hotel Planner overcharged me by $42 but he couldn’t do anything for us. (He was paid $84 and Hotel Planner pocketed the rest). I called customer service at Hotel Planner and was told they really are Hotels.com. Huh? That was a lie and the rep I spoke to apologized for purposefully misleading me. I asked to speak to his supervisor and he told me to call back. Apparently, he couldn’t transfer me.

    My sister called back and asked the rep why they charged $42 more for a room when it was advertised for $84. The rep hesitated and said it was because we wanted 2 queens. (The hotel manager was surprised. He stated 2 queen beds are the same price as a king bed and both are $84). Several more calls were made to customer service for resolution and both times they hung up when confronted. There is no way to resolve this issue when it is extremely difficult to get through to a live person and when you do, you get hung up on. Even the hotel manager told us to never use this company.

    Original Review: Aug. 4, 2020

    In March of 2020, I found a hotel through a link on a popular wedding website and made a reservation for a weekend in June for a wedding before the pandemic broke out. The hotel was apparently linked to HotelPlanner.com to complete the reservation. When I booked the room, there was no indication at all on the rooms to book, or the website forms that the rooms were pre purchase and non-refundable. I was surprised when my card was charged the full amount. The e-mail receipt I received when the booking completed stated that there was a reduced refund available after 6/21/20 which indicated to me that the room was refundable and then reduced refund after 6/21/20.

    In April, we had to cancel through the HotelPlanner.com reservation link on my receipt due to Covid 19 precautions (we are both high risk which I stated on the reason for cancelling). We were offered a voucher or a refund and I chose the refund as we won't be traveling until the pandemic is over. We received no refund or further contact. After waiting the 30 days indicated for funds to show up, I tried numerous times to call HotelPlanner and waited on hold (for long periods of time) until there was an instruction to leave a message followed by a beep, but it kept repeating the instruction with no ability to leave a voicemail message. I tried opening a chat, case number ** and no one ever got back to me. I tried sending an e-mail to the billing refund inquiry dept. for itinerary #** with no return e-mail or effort to contact us.

    The hotel's phone was physically disconnected and thus, I tried a dispute through my credit card because I could not contact anyone for help. The documentation from the hotel (after 3 months wait) sent to my credit card showed a very distorted photocopy of a check out web page that was not the page I saw when I checked out, claiming the room was non-refundable (under final review). Otherwise I would not have tried to pursue a refund. Plus the indication of a refund on my e-mail receipt.

    This has been beyond frustrating and I am severely disappointed in the absolute absence of customer service at Hotel Planner. Not to mention the loss of a substantial amount of money during such a stressful time. Not a company I would wish to do repeat business with or recommend. Having positively no way to contact Hotel Planner or the hotel itself to discuss my issue, I am left with no choice but to leave this review here.

    There are times when people do things because they have to and there are times when people do things that just go the extra mile. I had such an experience with Karen **. I had booked with WeddingWire for an upcoming wedding, knowing that my booking was non-refundable. Then a change occurred with the health of a family member that contracted the COVID-19 virus and the event itself was being significantly alerted to where we didn't feel like we should attend for the safety of others. Karen went out of her way to work with the hotel and me to secure a refund of money held and to cancel with no penalties. She could have just blown me off, but she didn't. She went to work for me and saved me over $800.00. She is and should be considered a valuable member of your organization and model of how all employees should work for the customer. I wish there were 10 stars because I would have chosen that for my experience. Thank you, Dan

    Reginette was very professional in the processing of my reservation cancellation. I had trouble contacting the reservation company which then left me outside of the cancellation window, but she was able to process the cancellation and get a refund issued. It was a last minute cancellation due to unforeseen circumstances. To help customers with last minute cancellations it would help to have a direct link to the cancellation at all times, even when outside of the cancellation window, and even when it is too late to process a refund. This was not available, which led to me having to call, send and electronic message and then send an email. I appreciate Reginette's assistance in getting this matter resolved.

After various emails back and forth she promised a full refund however after 40 days I hadn't received it so decided to call the hotel myself. According to Diamond Resorts there was no record of interaction between Karen and them! I was shocked and upset. She then told me that they would release the money to Get A Room which is a third party that Hotel Planner uses which I was not aware of. I then spoke to Get a Room and they have refunded the money back to Hotel Planner.

    Hotel Planner has my money and is not returning it to my credit card. The charge was for $758.56 USD. I am frustrated and upset over the run around I am receiving. Please give me my money back. We are not wealthy people and it works out to roughly $1000 Canadian with the exchange rate! I am happy to forward you my email exchanges between Karen and I if anyone needs them.

    After several attempts to contact Hotel Planner, I finally emailed them and Karen ** got me a voucher for my non-refundable hotels. But after requesting a refund on my credit card due to the covid 19 and that I lived out of country she indeed got me a credit in full on my credit card. So anyone trying for a refund hang in there and when you get Karen she delivers. Thanks again, as I have a credit of the amount on my credit card!!!!

    Esther was courteous, cordial, considerate, compassionate and most important professional. She listened to my request. She offered viable Solutions. And together with her knowledge and my desire for a vacation she put together the most perfect accommodation. She allowed me the customer to participate in the conversation and also assured me that all precautions for covid-19 are strictly adhered to. Without hesitation I would recommend this property and this customer service experience to be shared my customers who are very picky with travel.

    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.

    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.

    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 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 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. It is appreciated and she deserves 5 stars, as she has been professional and responsive. Thank you.

    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 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.

    With the whole covid-19 going down, we weren’t able to go to California, let alone Disneyland. So we needed to cancel our trip three days before we left. And Ursula has been amazing since the first day I began talking to her, she always replies back with information, and on a timely manner. And now the issue is been resolved and just have to wait for the refund. So thank you!
