Priceline

Stop fooling customers and getting easy money, when you play that dirty game of greedy liars. You charging hidden fee with companies and none of you can have the liability to tell the true. Ticket price $250. Bags 2 of 23 kg, each $80. Total $410. For an initial ticket of 250. I will ask customers to avoid Priceline and TAP Portugal.

On July 23 I booked a hotel room through Priceline to stay in Beaufort, SC to have a small family reunion with my nephew and sister. My nephew informed me over week ago he had to go out of country for work and would not be able to attend. My sister was going to meet me but then Hurricane Irma happened and she lost everything at her house in Florida. Therefore no reunion. I contacted Priceline and told them the issue and they said "Not good enough reason, sorry." I am out $400. I have talked to 3 different customer service reps who I believe are NOT in the USA and now have my bank helping out. I have never used Priceline and WILL NEVER use them for anything in the future. Beware they are pure FRAUD!

I booked a room using express deals. After paying, I determined the hotel was closed due to storm damage. I am 2 days from arriving and Priceline will NOT refund or change this reservation! I was told there would be a resolution yesterday. Still nothing!

I called Priceline to complain about the hotel room that I booked with them. When we showed up at the hotel, the lobby smelled awful (like Indian food) but we went ahead and booked into the room. The room was at the end of the parking lot by the alley and it also smelled awful. We turned on the air and waited outside for it to clear out the smell, however it did not help with the smell. When we went back in to check the room we saw a roach crawling across the floor. I screamed and stepped on it. The room still smelled bad (like Indian food) and then we saw another roach. We proceeded back to the office and told the guy about the situation. The man did not go look at the room and did not ask me for any pictures of the roaches. He had another vacant room upstairs above the office and walked up there and opened the door. The room smelled even worse.

We told him we could not sleep in a room that smelled that bad and we weren’t going to sleep with roaches. I asked him for a refund and he said I had to call Priceline. I then called Priceline and they put me on hold to call the hotel. Then they came back on the phone saying they needed pictures and the guy went to the room to look with me and there were no bugs.

First of all, he lied and second I didn't know I needed to take pictures. He didn't tell me to show the roaches to him or to take pictures. Also, how can I take pictures of smell?? I then called the hotel myself and got a long email back from them about the pest control company they use and the cleaning company that sprays smelling stuff in the rooms. And from both Priceline and the hotel I keep getting there is no cancellation. I did not cancel anything. I needed a room and provided proof to the hotel that I spent the night in a hotel across the street which cost me more money. I could understand if I didn't take the room because I didn't need a room or that I got a room cheaper that is called cancellation. But that was not the case. I had to have a room that night and it ended up costing me more money because of the condition of this hotel.

This is not fair in any way. How would you like to be forced to sleep in a room with roaches and stunk so bad you didn't even want to take a breath. I am demanding my money to be refunded back to my credit card immediately. As far as their claim of no roaches, I currently own investment property and know that even though you have a pest control company you can still have roaches. Especially in a hotel that have different people coming in and out all the time. As far as the smell, if you are used to the smell you wouldn’t notice it. All the rooms and the office have the same smell and no matter what kind of smelly stuff you spray in the air you can’t get rid of that smell since it is the carpet, drapes, beds, sheets, towels, etc. This is not fair at all that I have to pay for a room I could not even use and Priceline has just left me hanging say they can't do anything unless that hotel agrees to give me a credit. DON'T USE PRICELINE!!!

I rented a car thru Priceline.com. Due to circumstances beyond my control I had to cancel the car. I went online and canceled thru their chat and asked to be refunded my money back to my credit card. They refused to do so, due to "restrictions". Total was $245.00. I asked again for my money to be returned and again I was denied even though I was giving them 2 months notice from the time of rental. I said, I will file a dispute with my credit card and their response was "Thanks for the heads up, we will get the paperwork together and file right back ". I will never use Priceline.com. They are scammers!! It was my first time ever using them and it will be my last. BEWARE!!! DO NOT ENTER INTO ANY TYPE OF TRANSACTION WITH THEM!!

Leaving the east coast of Florida due to hurricane Irma. After 1 1/2 hours of searching finally found a hotel in north central Florida. Booked for 3 days but wanted to add one more day. Called the hotel and was told that they had already been booked up for 3 days so we could not stay there. Of course Priceline had already charged my credit card.

When I called them the canned voice on the phone told me that cancellations were handled by a partner company called Agoda. Was put thru to them and first person couldn't speak clearly and hung up on me. Guess where they are located. SINGAPORE!! Next person helped me but told me that a refund would not be credited to my bank for 10 to 15 business days. REALLY!! You can get your money in about 10 minutes, but can't give it back to me for 2-3 weeks. How can they sell you a motel room that does not exist. DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT use Priceline. I am going to be speaking to an attorney. We now cannot find a hotel to evacuate to and are forced to stay here. Shame on you!

On August 18th I flew down to Atlanta for a 4day 3night stay @ Homewood Suites 3405 Bobby Brown Pkwy. East Point GA. Now I have no complaints about the hotel because I recognize how life can throw unexpected obstacles at the most inopportune times and unfortunately this was one of them. The 1st night was Friday and everything was beautiful, even Saturday morning 19th of August was fine until there was a water main break. The entire hotel was left with no running water whatsoever.

So after speaking with a few employees about when this incident would be resolved I decided the best course of action was to book a room elsewhere, which a very polite representative from the hotel checked me out offered for the inconvenience to not the 19th or the 20th in which obliviously I didn't stay there at all. I want it to be known I highly recommend this hotel because of their politeness, great service and cleanliness. Now a few days after I got home I realized the $75 incidental fee had been returned to my bank card but not the balance of 2nights supposedly credited. Since I booked through Priceline they explained to me that the third party (which is Priceline) will be charged for the 1day of August 18th 2017 $127.24, however Priceline refuses to credit me back the remaining balance of $219.77 of the original $347.01 I paid back in July!

I have called and spoke with different representatives from customer care while also sending multiple email copies of my confirmation number and authorization code on the receipt proving Homewood Suites only charged for a 1 night stay. I have reached out to the hotel and to the very same Homewood Suites employee who checked me out (who also gave me a bunch of Hilton honors points as compensation) and she reconfirmed that the only charge for my stay was $127.24 and the third party (which is Priceline) has this information as well.

Please bear with me as this is my 1st time ever giving a review or even filing a complaint because I feel like things always balance themselves out, I didn't appreciate how Priceline never once returned my phone calls and when I did get an actual person that could help they wouldn't allow a conference call with the hotel rep, Priceline rep, & myself all on the line at the same time to prove my receipt is indeed 100% authorized confirmed & they (the hotel rep) willingness to tell customer care exactly that.

My emails took days to respond just to claim they tried to verify a refund with the hotel, all while know I'm not seeking a refund, I only ask the balance from what the hotel charged them so I can cover the extra out of pocket expenses on Sunday's room I had to book last minute. It's truly unfortunate that a million corporation has to treat people like some back alley hustler, but hopefully my review is taken in need, DON'T DEAL WITH PRICELINE UNLESS YOU ARE 100% THERE WILL NOT BE A SINGLE ISSUE WRONG WITH YOUR BOOKING!

On Priceline.com website was offered Fairfield Inn and Suites in Millville NJ for 1 standard room with king size bed for September 3 check in, check out Sept. 4. I chose this room choice, but when we checked in at 3:57 pm Sept 3 we were told king size bed wasn't included. PURELY FALSE ADVERTISING to get the unsuspecting public’s business!!

Booked a trip on Priceline for a hotel in Santa Barbara. When I called the hotel multiple times, they could not confirm the reservation. When I contacted Priceline to resolve, they were unable to do so. As a result, I tried to get a refund and my request was denied so I have no hotel room and no refund either.

I booked a hotel with Priceline over the phone. I arrived at the hotel after a 7 hour trip; found my reservation was cancelled by Priceline. Priceline staff had very poor customer service skills. It took several calls to get connected with a team leader. Word up do not book hotel reservations with this company. They are not dependable and rude. I was stuck 7 hours away from home with no place to go. I am currently reaching out to someone to assist me as I report my concerns. No luck so far! Do not use Priceline!!!

The Priceline policy is "too bad for you we already have your money." I am traveling halfway across the country to see a sick elderly family member who just passed before I could get there and they are shipping the body back to my state for the funeral. So I tried to cancel and they have a no refund policy and they tried to blame it on the hotel (However I called the hotel and this is not the case. Also note other sites like Hotels.com and Expedia do refund your money for the same hotel.) so I'm just straight up out of $340 because Priceline refuses to see that plans change.

I booked a hotel room for 4 nights at Country Inn & Suites in Vadnais MN. I thought I was booking directly with the hotel but unfortunately I was booked through Priceline. Priceline charged me $691. The receipt from the hotel for the same 4 nights was $533. I contacted Priceline and was informed that the $691 was based on the "special" rate that they get from the hotel SPECIAL RATE??? Cost $158 more. Can't even book directly with hotels anymore??? Priceline is a rip off. They advertise best prices and charge a premium rate. BEWARE DO NOT USE PRICELINE.

I rented a car from Priceline.com. They gave me a rate of $168.31. I got the car, used it for 2 days, the exact time we agreed to. When I returned the car Avis changed me $19.03. They said it was for taxes that Priceline did not include on their bill. I did show the contract to Avis that Priceline did charge for taxes and they said yes but not all the taxes. Avis said I have to speak to Priceline to correct this. Priceline said not my problem go back to Avis. Both companies will not help. I would not work with either of them again. They both mislead their customers.

I did not like that the car's condition was less than hoped for. There was quite a few sins in the car's exterior. The transmission was very jerky. And after a day the air conditioner smelled like stinky feet. I also do not recommend going with Priceline in the future. After flight changes that we could not control we ended up at a different airport than expected. Priceline would not allow us to change our rental car location, time or date. This was such an headache in the initial pick-up. We ended up spending $100 in an Uber ride to get to our initial location pick up point. How can a rental car company not allow you to make changes after changes happen in travel. It happens all the time. And they just left us out to dry. Never booking again with Priceline.

I booked Society Hill Hotel for my Philadelphia trip this Labor Day weekend for a wedding. Despite the promising reviews on Priceline, I opted to cancel after reading more reviews. My Priceline reservation was cancelled the same day, within ONE hour of making the original reservation. Unlike other Priceline reservations that I had, I never received "Special deals" emails regarding this reservation -- I would know because they always link up the itinerary number. Thinking nothing of it, I booked a second hotel closer to the wedding venue. Fast forward over a month later, I received confirmation of an ACTIVE reservation for the hotel that I had cancelled. The cancellation deadline was SIX hours prior to this confirmation email - coincidence you might say.

After multiple attempts of calling Priceline and unable to get to a live person, I opened a chat with a representative who told me that my reservation was booked through Priceline's third party booking site called Booking.com. I was informed that I also had to call Booking.com and cancel my reservation through them. I had to ask for a repeat - So I originally booked through Priceline who booked through Booking.com automatically, yet I had to cancel individually through both entities to ultimately cancel my hotel reservation? Not only was this information not made clear, but that's ridiculous that I would have to go through a second site to cancel a reservation. It should be automatically transmitted like it was when I booked the reservation. I was able to call Booking.com and get a live person on the phone.

Despite the cancellation policy stating that I would lose the value of 2 nights stay, he communicated with Mary at Society Hill Hotel and they were able to discount the cancellation to one night's stay. Still, money wasted thanks to Priceline, but I understand the policy on this end. On the upside, I would be refunded that night they are charging if the room is booked, though I won't be holding my breath on this.

I have booked many trips through Priceline and this experience is very disappointing. The policy is not well stated if stated at all somewhere. Representatives were unhelpful and read off some sympathy script. I will not be using Priceline for any future trips and recommend others to use other websites that are more upfront and helpful with customer service. This experience was inappropriate and an eye opener. I feel as though Priceline had scammed me due to their unethical practice and unaccountability toward resolving this matter.

Booked a hotel through Priceline website. Had a horrible stay and was double charged. Contacted Priceline customer service chat. Did absolutely nothing to atone for my horrible stay. I did all the work to get the double charge taken off. Representative basically told me the hotel didn't have record of my issues so they wouldn't do anything. She was rude and in so many words said she didn't believe me. Also, Priceline charged me more than what the hotel was charging for the room. So you book through Priceline to pay more!!! She even told me to not bother pursuing it further because no one with Priceline would discount my charges. Unbelievable! Worst customer service recovery I have encountered.

So I call Priceline and tell them what happened and they told me they would call the hotel and get back to me in 45 min. 45 min went by and nothing.

So I called again. The customer service rep kept telling me that they couldn't get a hold of the hotel. So I called the hotel and someone answered immediately. (Of course). So I called Priceline again and they kept telling me they had a no cancellation policy. I said great, I don't want to cancel. I just want to change the date, and the hotel said it was ok. They told me that they couldn't get a hold of the hotel and would call me back. They never called back - obviously. At this point I was fairly certain they never bothered to call the hotel.

I ended up just rebooking the hotel on my own for the right dates. (Again, choosing the wrong date the first time was totally my fault, but they could have helped me fix it easily). When I got to the hotel, I asked them if they ever received a call from Priceline, and they said they didn't. The hotel was lovely and I just decided to forget about Priceline. But today - literally over a month later - I get an email from Priceline customer service saying their explanation and of course they said no. A month later is WAY more than 24 hours. Never use this service. Seriously it's not worth the headache.

Tried to book a four star room for two people. Hotel was definitely NOT A FOUR STAR hotel! Also they wanted a $ 20.00 fee to switch from a king to two double beds. Called and spoke to Priceline and they were absolutely no help. Firstly they read from a script and their English speaking skills were substandard.

While checking for flights to DR, I was advised I would get a $100.00 credit on the trip if I applied for the Priceline visa card. I was approved and was expecting to pay with the new card but, there was always a failure to complete my reservation because I did not put in my security code. WHAT SECURITY CODE?? I called customer service and they explained that I will get the $100 credit after I purchase with my new card. I told him I wanted to purchase this trip with the new card. JIM says "Oh, we are aware of this problem. Do you have another credit card?" At this point I am furious because I am about to receive a credit card that I wouldn't have requested if it had not been for the enticing offer. And of course, Jim told me I can't cancel the card request, Even if I am broke and this credit card is the only thing I have. I will NEVER use it.

I recently booked a flight for a family member using Priceline.com. The flight was to end in Columbia, South Carolina. Unbeknownst to me there is a Columbia, Missouri. I accidentally chose the wrong state, I got the city correct. As luck would have it I figured out the honest mistake before the trip was to commence. I called American Airlines and Priceline, total time spent 2 1/2 hours to get flights changed. Priceline charged $230 to change flights. They were not willing for one second to waive this charge for an honest mistake that I was told by American Airlines happens all of the time.

The agents were difficult to understand, long wait times, did not follow through with updating emails. They didn't hesitate for a second to charge $230. The whole experience was miserable. I will never use a 3rd party to book a flight. In all honesty it is not that much cheaper. I do not know have Priceline's revenue and profit margin numbers available, but I can't imagine they would have gone bankrupt waiving $230.

Found a slightly better price on the Priceline website, but didn't pay close attention to the terms. I'm visiting another province for a concert, the concert has been delayed by a week, but I cannot change my 2 night reservation to a later date. Would be happy to pay a fee to alter the dates. It's three weeks away, lots of time to help out. But Priceline will do nothing to help. Ultimately it's my mistake but shame on Priceline for having such a terrible policy, they are ripping off their customers. They have my $500, but they won't get another penny from me.

I am allergic to smoke and specifically requested a non smoking hotel. After the reservation was booked, I discovered it was smoking friendly. When I tried to change the reservation through Priceline customer service, they basically said "Too bad. It is your problem." NEVER use Priceline - they are a bunch of crooks.

So... I started off thinking I was going to be leaving a bad review. I had purchased a flight from Vancouver to Winnipeg, in Canada on a Canadian airline. When I finished paying, I noticed in small print that it was all in US dollars! That's 25% more than what I thought I was paying. I was definitely upset. I couldn't find a number to call on their site, so I did the online chat. The chat feature wasn't that great but I did get a number to call. Once I called, it took less than 5 minutes to cancel that flight through their automated system. They even refunded the trip cancellation insurance. The email confirming the cancellation arrived immediately and all was done. That's the way it should be done. I'm still confused as to why I could google flights within Canada, be directed to a booking site that books me within Canada on a Canadian airline and it's in US dollars. Oh well, lesson learned. At least Priceline made it easy to correct my mistake. Thanks!!!

I used Priceline in early July. My cousin who is dying of a lung disorder, has never been to San Francisco. Traveling with oxygen is not fun nor fast, so we carefully planned the trip out. Or so I thought. I had booked a month prior and even changed my dates to get the "queen suite room". There are only 2 of them at this hotel and I wanted and needed to have one for our stay. After a long hard travel day, we arrived to find not only did I pay for the suite of $272.00, one was not available. Turns out Priceline did not book my room right. They booked me in a standard room for a suite price! Ok right, they have price protection, guarantee right, wrong!!!

Not only was it their fault, they couldn't even keep the room guarantee! They state on the website that if there's a mix up, they will find you a room comparable to the one you booked. Well on a Saturday in Frisco, no suites were available. The only choice we had was stay with a 20% discount (which brings the room to $219.00 for a room that's normally $145.00 or leave. Well if they couldn't find a room, what makes you think my sick cousin and I could) so we stayed with a promise the difference between $272.00 for the suite I booked and the $145.00 for the room we were in would be refunded. To this day I am yet to see the refund. I was told by Priceline "there is nothing we can do". They are a total rip-off!! Do not book with them. I read the warnings too, never had a problem, till now. This company is unprofessional and honestly I don't know how they stay in business. Heed the warnings!! I didn't. I learned the hard way.

I stayed in a hotel I booked through Priceline and the hotel clerk tells me he will lower my rate from $189 to the standard rate the hotel offers that was $120. The desk clerk tells me has contacted Priceline and I should receive discount in 7 to 10 days. Priceline had no clue and will not refund my money. They say they get the best rate and you will get the same rate the hotel offers is a HUGE LIE! The Amazing customer care team is also False. I will never use Priceline again.

I bought airline tickets through them. The flight was canceled and they did not inform me. I wrote them a complaint and they did not even come back to me. They do not take responsibility for anything. I'll never use them again.

Still 3 weeks before my wife and my reservation, Priceline unwilling to alter 3 day reservation to 2 day. They say to contact hotel, hotel says they can't change reservation. Priceline has to do it. Priceline just keeps repeating they have a no cancellation policy, I will have a no more Priceline policy. They took me the first time there won't be a second. I highly recommend finding another travel broker, Priceline just wants the money, no customer service.

WARNING: Rip-off company. On 11/03/16, I paid and reserved a standard size car, Trip #** with Priceline. I realize they do not guarantee that the specific model of car that you choose for a particular trip may be available, per their paperwork; however, they are obligated (I thought) to provide you with a similar car at the same price. I got to Atlanta late at night and with the help of a lovely airport employee, was eventually wheel-chaired to the Priceline counter. (Another warning! It is hidden away, and there are no directories for this company. Because it's so unbelievably cheap, they have NO signs. It took my escort, an airport employee, and I, an hour to find it.) [Note: I was sick and exhausted having had abdominal surgery the day before, but had to go because my father passed away.]

When I got to the counter, I was told that my reservation was GONE. I was given the "opportunity" to upgrade at a higher price just to get an automobile, which turned out in the end to be the same size that I ordered in the first place. WARNING: I read these reviews, but said it would never happen to me. They are, I'm sure, giving their counter personnel the same encouragement to "upgrade" customers as a used car salesman would! This was my experience.

You take your own risk if you do business with them. I NEVER will again. I will and have utilized more reliable car rental agencies since. You will NOT save money, if that is your goal, if you rent with Priceline. I feel particularly idiotic because I had read the reviews, but had thought it worth the gamble. It was not. You will pay at least $10 more per day for your transport. I suspect it gets worse the later it is. Nobody wants to be stuck at a dark airport so late in the evening, handicapped by everything being closed, and having no transportation. It's dark; most rental places have nothing left except for higher prices. **Please, please, please, I'm begging you on my knees! Don't rent with them thinking you will save money -- you won't.
