    It is a rip off. I was booking a package through Booking.com and was redirected to this company. Booked flight, hotel and car in Mexico. It was supposed to save me 50$. Once I got detailed bill flight was 40$ more expensive than the price on separate booking. Car was not available so had to pay 160$ USD for enforced upgrade. Complained to Priceline and they returned only 120$ USD. So in the ends ripped me off 80$. Never again will do packages and cars will book directly with car company that is a local family business- this always worked best for me.

    Do not ever call a hotel and allow Priceline to intercept it. Grab your credit card information and charge you before you’ve even had a chance to know what hit you. I thought I was calling the hotel itself. Priceline never said they were Priceline. I only figured that out when I got to the hotel and realized I was paying double price to a third party.

    I booked a hotel while on road, needed a place to stay at nearby city. I booked and paid online through Priceline thinking I was going to get a great deal. Checked into the hotel and they asked for a card for “incidental” charges. I don’t travel often and didn’t think much of it. I checked out the next morning and they gave me a receipt, needed to get back on road asap and didn’t look at it. After getting to my destination I was checking my account and noticed I was charged by Priceline as well as by the hotel on my debit card. I contacted Priceline about this and they said they would look into it and get back to me in a few days. Seven days later, no reply and called again.

    This time I actually received an email confirming my inquiry but still no resolution several days later. When I asked for a refund of the Priceline charge since it was actually more than what the hotel charged I was told it was non-refundable. How can it be the best seat if they charge me more than the actual hotel? Over a week later they still haven’t resolved anything and I had to contact the hotel myself, the hotel immediately responded and refunded the extra charge. Won’t be using Priceline again due to poor response to my inquiries and they weren’t the cheapest after all.

    I will never use Priceline again. I tried to cancel a hotel reservation for 12/21, well in advance, but their customer service was no help. They told me the reservation was non-refundable and then said I should call the hotel myself to negotiate a refund. Why am I using Priceline if they can’t even handle this basic issue? This experience has been beyond frustrating, and it’s clear they don’t prioritize their customers. If you’re considering using Priceline, think twice. I’ll be taking my business elsewhere.

    I booked a hotel via Priceline while traveling. When I arrived I discovered the hotel was being renovated. The front lobby and office were sealed in plastic and the halls had construction debris and dust. When I checked into my room I discovered the heat did not work. The front desk did not answer my call and when I went back to the front desk no one was there. The next day I attempted to cancel my stay and was told to call back Monday. The hotel never returned my calls or refunded cancelled days. Even though Priceline posts pictures and reviews of hotels they do not protect travellers from false information provided to them. I would not use Priceline again.

    -5 stars. -1 star. We reserved a car through Priceline for $300 and add a separate car insurance. They told us we had to buy their own insurance. We ended up paying more than a well known company (over $1000}. They did not have the car we ordered and was the only car left. At the time we were at the desk they had 3 desks open all 3 customers where complaining for the same reasons paying 3 time as advertised. I had no choice, bad way to start vacations. How that kind of situation be legal. That the reason they have a sign on the wall "we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone".

    I was very happy with Priceline up until this summer when I purchased tickets to Switzerland for my family to travel in August 2024. The tickets I purchased showed seat reservations included as you can see in the attachment. When I tried reserving the seats the airline wanted payment. I then contacted priceline and the agent transferred me to a supervisor who recommended that I pay for the seat reservation and send in for reimbursement. I followed what the supervisor directed me to do, sent all the documentation, followed up many times and never received reimbursement for the charge that should have been included in the reservation. I travel to Europe numerous times a year. I see that this is not an honest company and would never use them again neither recommend them to family and friends.

    I have a Priceline account and I do use them to book rooms as they tend to have the lower rates. However, how they choose to remedy issues with hotels or award you for using them is disappointing. I remember paying a $165 for a double bed suite at a Marriott and when I arrived they checked me into a single room because my room type was unavailable. Not only did she check me into the room without first asking me if I even wanted to downgrade, she also charged my debit card for the room and incidentals, and I had already prepaid online through Priceline. I checked in after midnight and could not book another hotel once I found out that she put me in a single room. I had another adult friend with me that I had no plans on sharing a bed with. Needless to say, we unfortunately had to stay in the room. Although we split the cost for two queen beds, one of us had to sleep on the tiny chaise.

    The hotel blamed Priceline saying that they should have updated the room types on their site because they did not have it available at the time of my booking. Priceline's remedy to my problem was to offer me a fifteen percent off coupon for an express deal and it came with an expiration date. I informed a Priceline rep that I do not ever book Express deals because you never know what hotel you are booking. I asked if I could just have a fifteen percent off coupon on my account that I can use at any hotel of my choice. I was told no that they only offered coupons for express deals. I think that Priceline does a horrible job with rectifying issues. Forcing your customers to use a coupon to book a nonrefundable hotel room with no ability to find out who they are first, or see what their reviews are is not customer service. So basically they never rectified the issue.

    Purchased a hotel stay for one night, when we arrived to the hotel we are told there is no reservation there and that it must be across the street at another hotel. We were tired and exhausted at this time and just wanted a room to rest so we headed across the street. They had our reservation there but it did not show that it was paid. After 2 hours of calling PRICELINE and trying to clear up the situation I had to pay again for a night. It is now 20 days since and I can not get Priceline to reimburse me although I have provided them with copies of my credit card statement showing that there was a second payment.

    Priceline refuses to refund money when the hotels close not even open. Can’t get into a room. Stay there for two hours and they said it’s my fault because I couldn’t get into the room. The hotel was not there so closed and I’ve still refused to return my money. That is very wrong. I hope they close soon. I hope the whole Priceline goes out of business. And their operators are in the Philippines. They’re not even in American soil. They help ** out because they’re just in the Philippines and they don’t answer no questions.

    Worst company I have ever dealt with, I had to change my flight for my mom’s celebration of life. They changed it but also downgraded the flight so I had to pay for my carryon luggage. Then they had the nerve to say I did it myself on the airlines website when I had all their emails confirming the change.

    Scam Company! Avoid Priceline at All Costs! I had the worst experience with Priceline, and I’m beyond frustrated! I booked a flight to Colombia for specific dates, and when I checked my confirmation, they had booked me for completely different dates. Naturally, I called them to correct this mistake, and what did they say? That I would need to pay $210 PLUS a difference of $590 just to change the dates to when I originally wanted to travel! That's $800 extra for something that was THEIR mistake!

    It’s clear to me now that Priceline is a scam. They will book you for whatever dates they want, sell you a cheap flight initially, and then try to pressure you into paying a huge amount of money to get the tickets you actually need. Now, when I tried to cancel the flight because of their error, they told me they couldn’t do anything and that I would have to pay an additional $780 on top of the $400 I already spent for the original ticket. Please, do not book anything through Priceline! They are just after your money and will leave you stranded with no support when they make mistakes. This company is a scam, and I regret using them. Save yourself the headache and avoid them at all costs!

    So, searching on Priceline I come across their “express deals”. Ok great, a flight at half the cost by not being brand-royal and choosing your own airline. Let’s read the fine print. Can’t choose your airline, can’t choose your flight time… could be non stop or have a lay over- more fine print: Priceline could book you on TWO Different airlines. Red flag! Ok, so I call 3 different times the customer service line after the chat robot gives it to me because I asked “what happens when my first flight is running behind” after mountains of OBFUSCATION and a hour of really bad elevator music, the ‘pass you around until your frustrated’ dance gets me to this conclusion, thank you Alicia from not America: “you alone are responsible for getting yourself where you need to go”.

Due to that I had to cancel my trip because there were no flights and who wants to be on an island during a hurricane anyway, right? Well in canceling I was given the runaround from June until now (November) from both Priceline and Riu Palace Jamaica. They continued to promise a refund but just kept blaming each other as to why now in November I still do not have a refund or even a request to rebook my days for another time.

    I purchased a flight to Jacksonville Florida and car rental from Priceline. Flight was good, but the rental car company EASIRENT.COM that is a Priceline partner that was given to us was the ABSOLUTE worst experience I've ever had renting a car in my adult life. After we landed for our flight we were shuttled to this easirent.com Jacksonville off site office which looked like a dump. As soon as we walked in we saw customer after customer either waiting for someone to help them after they had gotten a car and had a problem, or waiting for over an hour just to RETURN their rental. After we waited in line we were told that we would have to have our own personal auto insurance policy as coverage, and that we would either have sign a waiver or pay a lot of money for tire and windshield coverage! What honest rental company makes you cover a tire and windshield damage?

    We asked every other customer why they were having a problem and were told the tires on their cars were all bald, some cars had to be brought back with check engine lights on, and one car had been smashed in the rear and was given out to a customer who was afraid to drive it due to the body damage! In addition, we were told that they didn't have a car for us to rent or similar car and offered us NO other options. No substitute, upgrade, or even down grade so we wouldn't be stranded near the airport! We cancelled our reservation and had to travel back to the airport and hope and pray we could find a rental last minute on the spot. Better part of a day wasted! The ONLY thing I will say is that Priceline did refund us the money we put out for the rental quickly and without hassle. I refuse to do business with priceline until they drop Easirent.com as a partner and do a better job vetting the companies they partner with.

    I purchased a trip package through Priceline for Nov. 13th-17th because I've had good experiences with them in the past but this weekend there was endless problems. The only thing that went right is the flight to Chicago from Minneapolis. Our first night at DoubleTree in downtown Chicago, halfway through the night when I got up to go to the bathroom, while I was sitting there a roach ran at me and I panicked and kicked it and it disappeared under the door, I would have gotten a picture but I couldn't find it.

    I then googled the hotel and apparently we weren't the only ones to have a roach problem at this hotel. Disgusted we went to the front desk to let them know and they offered a $50 food and beverage credit. Why would we want to eat somewhere that has roaches?? We asked for a different room and they were able to switch our room. Our second room the bedding was ripped so the stuffing was all coming out and looked dirty, they hid the blankets between sheets. Then when we ran out of toilet paper I reached out for more and didn't get a response till the next day.. really? The phone in that room didn't work along with one of the lights. All but one of the 5 elevators were down most of the time. As much as I would love to walk up 13 flights, I can't. I have fibromyalgia, so it was a good 20-25 min wait for elevators.

    Add to that the whole time we just felt uneasy looking to see if anymore roaches made their way into our room, and this is considered a 4 star hotel, with roaches? I purposely spent more to stay at a 4 star hotel because I wanted to treat us to a nice place. Then when we tried to get to an event in Minneapolis our flight is delayed and was supposed to have left at 12:45 pm and then didn't take off till 2:40 pm which got us to Minneapolis a 4 pm. There needs to be some type of a refund, anything due to us waiting, and being late now to our event in Minneapolis. Also in the 2 hrs and 20 mins we sat on the tarmac not going anywhere they didn't once offer any food or water to anyone. They gave us very limited information on when we would be able to take off and sounded unconcerned with any obstacles this caused. Saying sorry is great but didn't resolve the concern at hand.

    I am writing to express my profound disappointment with Priceline’s handling of a recent reservation, which left me stranded and without any meaningful support during a critical time for my family. I booked a flight and car rental through Priceline to travel to Wichita, Kansas, to support my daughter and her family as my grandson was hospitalized in the ICU. This was an incredibly stressful and urgent trip, and I relied on Priceline’s service to ensure I could reach Bennington, Kansas—an hour and a half drive from Wichita—to be there for them. Unfortunately, when I arrived in Wichita, the rental car company, Payless, informed me there were no vehicles available. In fact, the manager explained that they had not had vehicles for at least three days and had notified Priceline about this issue. Despite this, Priceline continued to allow reservations to be made, leaving customers like me stranded.

    At the airport, I attempted to find a vehicle with other rental companies, but every single one was sold out, and any vehicles being returned were already reserved. I had no transportation and no way to reach my family during this critical time. I immediately contacted Priceline for assistance, but the experience only worsened. I was transferred multiple times, speaking with at least four different representatives, none of whom were able—or perhaps willing—to help. Initially, I was told that arrangements could be made to locate a vehicle from another rental company near the airport. However, after being transferred to a manager, I was informed that Priceline could not or would not make any effort to assist in finding alternate transportation.

    Ultimately, my daughter, already under immense stress with her son in the ICU, had to arrange for a friend to leave the hospital and drive to Wichita to pick me up. This was an unacceptable burden on my family during an already difficult time. This entire experience was deeply frustrating and upsetting. It is completely unacceptable for Priceline to knowingly book reservations for services that cannot be fulfilled and then fail to provide adequate customer support to resolve the situation. Leaving a customer stranded in a moment of crisis shows a shocking lack of care and responsibility. I expect a prompt and thorough response to this complaint, as well as an explanation of how Priceline plans to ensure this does not happen to anyone else.

Thrifty’s solution was for us to take an Uber to the location to pickup the car. They refused to honor the res at their location. Priceline’s suggestion was to cancel the original res and make a new one. We tried but they had timing restrictions to get the new res to AVIS that would have delayed our trip for hours. AVIS never got the new res and refused to honor the Priceline quote. We ended up renting a car from AVIS for $300 more than our original quote. Thrifty wanted more that $400 above the original quote from Priceline.

    Priceline took no responsibility for their obvious mistake. Thrifty did not honor its request from Priceline. AVIS did not acknowledge their relationship with Priceline. After a three hour flight, this was the worst possible way to start our vacation. I will not recommend Priceline or Thrifty/Dollar to anyone, ever!

    I booked a flight after searching options on Google. I was switching back and forth between a web browser and the Alaska Air app as I was trying to choose my best option. I ended up purchasing the flight on the web browser and only after receiving the email receipt did I realize I had made the flight reservation through Priceline. The price was no different from what I would have paid through the Alaska Air app, and yet I have discovered significant differences in service. Firstly, I never received a notice to check in for my flight. I discovered I could only check in at the airport.

My 14yr old daughter actually has an assigned seat, but I don’t?

    How can this happen? We are listed under the same confirmation code. The same reservation? Why would my child be split from my reservation? The Alaska Air desk agent could not change anything because the ticket was purchased through Priceline. I have to check in at the gate SFO and hope that somehow I can get a seat. I am so furious with Priceline and will absolutely NEVER use them again for anything. Customer service as well as their Chatbot Penny are useless. To add to the frustration, when I was trying to use Penny, the cookies pop-up window was blocking the chat window and I could neither close the popup nor choose to accept or deny because my taps were affecting the screen below the pop-up as if it was invisible. Obviously a bug in the Chat.

    I spoke with an agent thinking it was the hotel, they deceived me, told me only 2 rooms left, just reserve it, you can cancel 24 hours before arrival. Realize my mistake 2 hours after the call, 12 days later and 6 phone calls to Priceline and I’m still getting the runaround. This was a google search and somehow they made it look like I was calling the hotel directly. I had no idea it was a 3rd party. Look at the photo.

    On a recent trip to New Jersey I rented a vehicle through Priceline. The company assigned for the Priceline rental was Drivo. A day or two after returning the car, Drivo contacted me regarding a scratch on the car. Drivo has been charging over two thousand for a minor dent on a bumper that already had many dents and scratches. I later found out that Divo is rated F by the New Jersey BBB. Priceline continues to partner with Drivo even now despite the F rating. Priceline has refused to offer any help in this matter. Priceline's position is that the matter is between Drivo and me. I will never rent through Priceline again. I suggest that people stay away from Priceline, their policies and customer service are horrible.

    Priceline customer service is awful. They give you a “GOLD VIP Status” then are helpful with absolutely nothing. Don’t bother booking through them, anytime you have an issue with an airline they just tell you to contact them and don’t help you with any situation at all. Spent thousands of dollars with them this year and expected more assistance with issues I experienced with my flights. Go through the airlines directly. No respect left for them.

    I've been using Priceline since they came out and never had a bad experience until recently. The car rental I booked through another site (Economy Car Rentals) was an absolute nightmare so I cancelled the reservation at the desk. While waiting for the shuttle back to the airport, I booked a car with Priceline, but because I was boarding the shuttle, I didn't realize that the booking was at an agency on the other side of Orlando. Not the end of the world, or so I thought. By the time the taxi got me there, it was 15 minutes after the agency had closed (no notification of business hours from Priceline). The round trip taxi ride cost me $165.00.

    I ended up having to take a bus to a depot near my destination, a Lyft to the house, a Lyft to go visit my mother in Assisted Living, a Lyft to a local rental agency, a Lyft back to Mom from the agency after car drop off, a Lyft back to the house and a bus back to the airport. $300 in additional costs because they booked someplace way far when I specifically requested the airport. After a couple of back and forths with their "customer service", they decided they weren't going to do anything at all to make this right, so they lost me as a customer forever... and hopefully everyone seeing this too.

    BUYER BEWARE!! I used to use Priceline on a regular basis for years. Never had an issue with them. I always told friends and family to use them, that they were always great to deal with. For the last couple of years their service has gone downhill drastically. I am the first patient to have surgery this Friday with check in time at 6:00am. We live 4+ hours away, so rather than leave at 1:30-2:00am and have to worry about deer on the road all the way there, we booked a room. I put in the city where we wanted to stay, so we would be 5 minutes away from the surgery center. Instead they offered me a “deal” where they would pick one out of three. Not realizing they completely changed the city to a totally different location!!

    We will now have to leave at 4:00am, the “free breakfast” that my family members were supposed to go back and eat, while I am in surgery is out the window, because who the hell wants to drive 4 hours for a free breakfast! I called immediately after realizing what happened, while the gal was trying to help me, in the background, they had a humdinger of a party going on. And of course the calls are routed over-seas, so through broken English I was told under no uncertain terms that we could not change the location, as they have very strict guidelines. Well, I have very strict guidelines when it comes to my pocketbook, so when it comes to doing any future business with Priceline, they will no longer have my business. There are plenty of other competitors out there who just might appreciate me as a customer!

    On November 3, we used Priceline to book three rooms for two nights (November 8 and 9) over Veterans Day weekend. We purchased Priceline’s Trip Protection just in case we had a problem with the car, illness, or any other emergencies. Unfortunately, a senior citizen veteran fell ill and had to be rushed to the Veterans Lyons VA Hospital for care. Thus, he was unable to make the trip and had to cancel his reservation, which amounted to $200.

    On November 7, we called Priceline expecting them to take some action so that we would get a refund for the veteran’s room cancellation. Priceline said that a refund was at the discretion of the Comfort Inn in Alexandria, VA. The hotel denied our request. Priceline indicated that the Trip Protection was not valid. In retrospect, I think Priceline has engaged in deception by offering Trip Protection. At no time did they express concern or offer any compensation for a veteran senior citizen, especially over Veterans Day weekend. Perhaps Priceline should be called PRICELIE if they are offering trip protection for It may not be protect your trip.

    I reserved a car through Priceline on October 29, 2024. This reservation was for a vw jetta or equivalent from November 9, @midnight to November 11 @4 pm. I called from my plane at 10:00 p.m. on November 8 and advise reservation specialist that my plane would be 30 minutes late due to seating disabled people on the plane. He said there is a 4 hour window to pick up so it would be no problem. I arrive in Orlando at 12:15 a.m. and I call twice to find out where the shuttle is at. I arrive at the rental car company at 1:00 a.m. I stand in line for 15 minutes. As I observe two of the three transactions going on, it seemed customers had a different reservation amount than the counter was wanting to charge them. They had four cars they were trying to rent and saying that is all they have left. They kept trying to get rid of a jeep.

    When it is my turn, I was told my reservation from priceline would not be honored. He said it has been a busy friday night and they do not have my car that I reserved. He said I have a jeep wrangler. I said will I get that for $71.92, and he said I would have to pay the difference. He said the jeep would normally go for 130-150 rate. This isn't true if someone rents in advance. He said he would have to charge me the difference. I asked him why I would be charged more than my reservation because it is not my fault they do not have my reservation. He said, "I don't know what to tell you except, if you want to rent from us tonight you will pay it or you can go elsewhere and rent a car." He said however, "You will pay a lot more given you don't have a car reserved anywhere else."

    I told him this sounds like a bait and switch. I told him I could have reserved a car elsewhere for cheaper than 180, but I reserved with ACE because I was quoted $71.92. He said, "Do you want the car or not?" At 1:45 a.m. in the morning a customer has no other option but to pay whatever they need to in order to have transportation. It is obviously a bait and switch practice this customer service rep. was doing. I hope any potential customers will read this and realize this will happen to you as well.

    We had a flight that was canceled because of Hurricane Milton. The airline was fast to refund it because it was obviously out of anyone's control, but it was refunded to whatever third party credit card number used by Priceline and not the payment method I entered, which I did not know would happen and Priceline does not inform you that they use their own credit cards "for your safety" when you book through them. I then had to repeatedly call Priceline customer service over 3 weeks and each time was told the same things over and over that it's being worked on and processed and then eventually that I'll receive the refund in a couple business days. Each time they said I'd receive a call with an update within 24 hours. Each time I never received a call and had to reach out again.

    2 weeks after I was told I'd receive a refund in a couple business days, they then said they are still "waiting for the airline to send the refund", which was a lie because I'd contacted the airline FIRST when the flight was canceled and they were able to give me part of the card numbers it was refunded to and prove to me that they sent it, and that it was all on Priceline from that point. So then they said again they'd call back with an update within 24 hours, naturally no call so I called again. Allegedly suddenly as of my call 2 days ago they released the money and it's being processed by the banks. I am not confident at this point that it will show in my account when they say it will, and I anticipate calling them again in a couple days arguing for my money. Do not use this company.

Instead, I could pay airline directly & they would reimburse me. At this point I had spent over two hours trying to correct this for my two hour flight. I paid the airline $138 for my carryon.

    After this, it took me another few hours of emails and phone calls & Priceline two weeks to reimburse me. After booking this flight I checked the app again & Priceline is still FALSELY proclaiming a carryon is included for this same flight. It's bad enough that they did this but what's even more despicable is rather than immediately correct it they put me, their customer, in the position of paying more money & waiting two weeks for reimbursement. Priceline has no problem collecting my money immediately & I've never seen them tell me I could schedule a flight and pay them in a couple of weeks.

    I'd not recommend Priceline to anyone. I made reservation with them for a car rental. And when I came there, the rental company is telling me it is canceled. I was waiting there with a family and small kids. And Priceline wasn't able to help me. TRUST ME. PLEASE DON'T BOOK WITH PRICELINE. You will find out your reservation will not be guaranteed.

    I have a $353 airline credit for Priceline. I went to book a flight and use my credit. The chat assistant on their web page said to complete booking and enter the credit when you get to payment. I did complete booking, including seat assignment but there was no place to enter my credit. I reconnected to the chat feature and it referred me to the customer care number. I called that and after nearly 2 hours on the phone and speaking to 10 different agents from varying departments, they finally figured out how to do the booking using the credit (that they sent me after a canceled trip). They then told me that the flight prices had increased by $200 while I was on the phone and I would have to pay that. Complete fraud!

    I reserved a rental car through Priceline for a recent trip. Upon arriving at the rental car company, I was informed that they would not allow me to rent the car since I only had a debit card. It was required that I have a credit card. Priceline never informed me of this and gladly accepted my debit card as payment for the reservation. I had to set up a new rental at another rental car agency on the spot that cost me four times the amount I had originally spent through Priceline. On top of that, Priceline would not refund my money even though I was unable to used the rental reservation. I would suggest reading the fine print, but Priceline didn't mention anything about this in the fine print particularly BEFORE I put the charge on my debit card. Thanks for nothing, Priceline.

    Extremely disappointed with Priceline's unethical practices and lack of customer care. I booked a hotel through them and arrived late at night to find no room available, despite having a confirmation. The hotel said this happens frequently with Priceline bookings. When I called Priceline for help, they offered no real solutions - just a refund (useless when stranded in another state at midnight) or relocation, which they then said they couldn't do due to 'system limitations.' I was left stranded on the street in an unfamiliar city with my luggage and no place to stay. Priceline took no responsibility and offered no alternatives. Requests to speak to a manager were ignored. This is unacceptable, potentially dangerous, and likely illegal overbooking. I cannot recommend using Priceline after this experience.

    I booked a package deal for two persons through Priceline.com. They were NOT honest about what they offered in their website. I was searching for a package deal, flight & hotel from Boston to Washington D.C. The only two things I checked to get in that deal was the shuttle from the airport to the hotel & vice versa and the hotel's continental breakfast. The website gave me the impression that the price I agreed on for the package included both of my options. When we arrived IAD airport, after waiting for over an hour and asking the shuttle buses for the other hotels, we learned that this hotel does not have a shuttle.

    We contacted the hotel & they confirmed that they do not have shuttle. So we had to use Uber to hotel & back to the airport after the two nights in the hotel. We had to spend an additional $136 for the transportation which was not a part of the deal which we were expecting to get. The hotel had continental breakfast which was good. After coming back home, I contacted Priceline's customer service asking and they said they can't do anything about that. The representative promised that they will elevate this issue to their dispute management team which will call me with in 3 days because they don't have they can't do anything about it.

    Two weeks passed, I still haven't received any call back from anyone from Priceline which means that all they care about is to screw customers. I do not trust Priceline as they mislead people through their website which promise features or accommodations which they can NOT honor. That was my first time dealing with Priceline as in the past I was dealing with other online travel agencies which were better & more forward than Priceline.com. DO NOT BE MISLEAD BY Priceline.com, they DID NOT Honor what they promised me. It is highly unlikely that I deal with them again because they mislead me & their customer service were not honest & they were not professional.

    This has been the worst experience ever. I booked a changeable trip and did the "wonderful" package deal they offer. My trip got delayed so called Priceline for help to book the exact same trip a week later within the changeable no fee period. The rep cancelled the trip without permission and then tells me the following day I cannot be refunded. Called me from 212-444-0077 and of course you cannot get a live person or get through.

    I called priceline as I only wanted to make a change. Then I get some song and dance that they need to wait for approval and they are so sorry to which I told them I will contact an attorney. I have proof of original refund, number and time called the next day, email from same stating so sorry but cannot refund. So I called and get a supervisor after being transferred and put on hold for 4 hours have proof of that as well to be told they used a voucher with airline and got hotel and flight refunded but could not refund car? Like what? I never asked for a cancel. I asked for a change which I paid an additional 80.00 each way to do and the rep cancels the trip and that falls on me?

    Now I have no refund, got to fight with United and no refund on car or flight due to her error and had to book an entire other trip. Do not use this site. It is scam and it only saved me 46.00 and really didn't save me! I ended up paying more for the trip. Got charged for a car due to their error and flight and spent 5 hours on phone being transferred from person to person. They cancelled the trip in error and yet I pay for that? I never gave permission to cancel the trip. She was not experienced and messed up and yet I had to chase supervisors down and pay more and lose money? Book with hotel direct, airline direct and car rental direct. Their package deal was a nightmare. They did not honor the change and because of some untrained employee, I eat the cost? Run as fast as possible.

    This has been the worst experience and especially since we just dealt with damage from Milton to have to experience this? Do not book here unless you want to lose money. You pay for changeable flights and yet their mistake and they do not honor? Seeking legal and help from anyone who can make this right. Priceline's slogan should be 'we rip you off and do not honor our policies" worst experience ever with a site. Never asked for trip to be cancelled, she did in error. So now I have to wait for their accounting department to look into and got a case assigned? What? I didn't make the mistake they did... But yet I pay and have to give 5 hours of hold time and stress because their rep messed up.

    The best part is there is a flight supervisor, a car supervisor, a hotel supervisor so you get the pleasure of telling your entire story again to be transferred for another hour. Do yourself a favor and book elsewhere. Unless you have money to throw away, book direct. I hope no one ever experiences what I did. It was a nightmare and cost me over 400.00 more. They do not tell you that the car is not refundable, the airline will charge you a fee? Like it's a joke and a scam. I asked for a change on a reservation and they cancelled reservation in error which the admit and I have to pay? So wrong on every level.

    I would not recommend using this site for booking hotels. I recently booked a hotel through Priceline on October 15th, 2024, under the clear impression that I would receive a full refund if I needed to cancel (until a certain date). However, upon receiving the email confirmation, I was shocked to find that the cancellation policy had changed—now stating that cancellations needed to be made by October 13th for a full refund. Any cancellations after this date would only receive a partial refund. This made no sense, as it's impossible to cancel a reservation two days before I even made the booking! Priceline’s initial communication was clearly misleading, and this unreasonable policy was never mentioned during the booking process.

    I contacted their customer service multiple times, each call resulting in long hold times. After finally getting through, Priceline refused to reimburse me, even though their online communication was contradictory and misleading. I’m extremely disappointed in their lack of accountability and refusal to correct this mistake. Beware of booking with Priceline—they do not stand behind their policies.

They upgraded to another car but did not give us credit for our deposit. Europcar stated after the fact they were never paid the deposit and I needed to get the refund from Priceline. Priceline has refused multiple times to refund my deposit simply stating "its out or our hands". Truly a scam on both parties!

Bottom line, if you rent with Priceline, do not accept RentalCover. Get a full coverage from a rental company when you pick up a car.

    We had a lot of problems when we tried to check into our reservation. They gave us a room that had the bedding off the beds and looked like it was not cleaned from the previous people. They were sold out so after an hour and a half They put us in a smaller room than we reserved with the window blinds that are broken. They would give us a discount but we booked thru Priceline. I feel we are due some sort of refund thru Priceline due to all the problems and not the room we reserved. Priceline refuses to do anything. So the hotel and I are in agreeance but since Priceline booked it Priceline won't make things right. Then I found out Priceline charged me $100 more than I could have booked the room directly to the hotel. Priceline is a ripoff. Buyer beware.

    Awful, stay away from them. They lie to you about what you’re getting. They told me how my motel would be four stars that had duct tape in the tub terrible. They didn’t care either. I contacted them after my stay. During my stay they were absolutely no help so I went to the Better Business Bureau.

    I purchased a $1000 flight today and included an airline credit from a previously cancelled flight. A few hours later I had a family emergency and had to cancel the flight. I called to cancel and since I was within 24 hours of the purchase price, I SHOULD HAVE gotten a refund. Instead, they claimed the flight credit date was the date of purchase of the credited flight. So they refused the refund and gave me a credit. (Non-refundable). I'll never use them again! Beware!

    I bought a package through Priceline, round trip air, hotel, and rental car. I was flying into Charlotte, NC for my daughter's wedding. They were getting married in Asheville, NC. Well, a week before my daughter's wedding, Hurricane Helene hit NC, the hardest hit was Asheville, NC. So, there was no more Holiday Inn where I was supposed to stay. So, I made other hotel arrangements for my stay. I asked for a refund from Priceline for the money I paid to stay at the Holiday Inn in Asheville, NC. Priceline said I didn't cancel my reservation and would have to call the hotel to issue a refund. I said I couldn't cancel my reservation because there is no more hotel there. So, they insisted they had to speak to the hotel. I told them there is no hotel there. They called, no answer, call disconnects. Priceline said they call the hotel a maximum of three times then escalate it. They escalate it so someone else will try to contact the hotel.

    I said, "What, do I have to wait two years while another hotel gets built and then you can contact them?" I said, "Can't you call corporate Holiday Inn to verify the refund since there is no other way to verify it?" "No," they said, "We have to speak to the hotel." A whole new level of crazy if you ask me! Everyone is too lazy to engage their brain and think of a different avenue to correct this. They just follow the rules, you don't have to think that way. And you wonder why the World is so upside down! Priceline, you dropped the ball big time, but you don't care, you have my money, now go screw some more customers, you're actually pretty good at I might say!

    Untrustworthy, lying, shady business. The “Priceline best price guarantee” is a lie. I was told I could sign up to become a “VIP Member” and they’d give me the best price guarantee. I did and went to submit the info and I was unable to. The next representative then said “oh, well you weren’t a VIP when you booked the rental car, so you’re not eligible. Well it doesn’t say that. My trip specifically said it was eligible and even said I could sign up to get it. So Priceline provided false information in order to obtain my personal information then baited and switched on me. So I’m out $150 because Priceline lied to me and used false advertising. Then I found out they paid the rental car company less that what they advertised to me. I will never use Priceline ever again.

    If I could give Priceline NEGATIVE stars, I would. I booked a hotel to take my kids to Carowinds Amusement Park and I had to make a last minute reservation because my prior hotel was overbooked from Hurricane Helene. I paid $332 for TWO nights and Priceline put me in the Quality Inn in Fort Mill. When I arrived with my teenage daughters, we were absolutely TERRIFIED by the hotel's location, dirtiness and the people that were lingering around the hotel. I could not stay there for safety and cleanliness concerns, so we ended up driving 20 minutes away to find another hotel and I had to pay DOUBLE for a new reservation. I immediately called Priceline and they stated that they would look into a full refund. I never heard back from them, so I called them the following Monday and I was told that they could only refund ONE night and there was nothing else that could be done.

    They should NEVER have booked me in this hotel to begin with after seeing all of the horrible reviews... Hotel was dirty, bug infested and completely run down. Looked like hookers, truck drivers and homeless people stayed there. When I asked to speak with a manager, the call center person from another country told me she WAS the supervisor and she would not be able to do anything else and then she hung up on me.

    I have been a customer for over 10 years and I have to say I have had the worse experience with Priceline today that I plan to leave and start using other sites for booking all my hotels and vacation spots. Here is what happen: I have a new computer so I went to Priceline.com and tried to book a hotel to visit the doctors for my sister's cancer. After booking the hotel for $147 a night I realized I was not signed into my Priceline VIP account. When I went to call them the man (what sounded like a call center from INDIA) said nothing but I can't help you (Priceline please listen to the recording that you say you do). When I asked for manager or supervisor he said no good because it's a long wait. I said I would wait and he said ok and after a few seconds the call ended.

    I called another number for VIP members and the lady said there is nothing she can do for me and I asked her I have used you and only you for the last years and this is the way you treat me? She said I could go online and fill out form to get a credit but will not work. I asked her: "is this the way you treat your loyal customers for 10 years". And she said, "I cannot help you sir." I then went online to file the price guarantee form online and you can't upload a picture more than 3MB large. If you want to upload a picture for all the items they are asking for for proof it takes a larger file. I uploaded the photo with all the information they asked for but smaller picture so the Priceline website would accept the file size.

    Then I get back a email saying the picture does not give visible evidence to the lessor price. If the Priceline customer service would just expand the picture file they could see everything. (All computers have the expand button). So now I know how Priceline doesn't stand by their price guarantee. They don't allow you to download a big enough picture to show all the information they are asking for. (WHAT A SCAM on Priceline's part). As a very loyal customer - you have lost my business and I plan to write this review on other sites like Google because of Priceline's flat out lies when it comes to price guarantee and their own employees know it.

    I will take my business elsewhere like Expedia, etc.. Expedia has always stood behind my wife when she booked flights, package deals and cars. Unlike Priceline for me. I hav even attached to this review the price of what I paid and dates and hotel and also the price listed on the website for hotel, date, price for Proof. Whoops, Priceline made me download much smaller files so they would be posted.

They did not offer the chance to view the seating or pick seats, which isn’t uncommon of itself, I’ve encountered this in the past over the last 2 1/2 decades of flying internationally and domestically. But every other instance, the airline always always puts the child next to one of the parents. But not Priceline they put our child in the back of the plane with strangers in a center seat. And even after I spoke to the supervisor, they kept apologizing and saying they were sorry for the inconvenience! That word just rubs me raw, INCONVENIENCE. That’s what they consider a two-year-old sitting in the back of the plane by herself, is an inconvenience. Delta offered to fix their Incompetence, For a fee, of course! $150.

I immediately called Priceline to find out what was happening and was told, "Yes your flight is cancelled."

Not a refund, if I’m going to get a refund it’s going to need to be the full refund for my inconvenience due to the fact I’m already looking up my own ticket to get home and it cost me $311 plus taxes because I didn’t have faith in Priceline to get me home!

We didn't have travel insurance (which cost as much as our car rental, so what's the point), but you'd think a hurricane would be good cause for making an exception to the cancellation policy.

    Priceline refused to cancel a reservation made online, I called within 5 minutes of booking and was given the run around about calling back first thing the next morning to cancel. When I called back the next morning I was told I could not cancel now and they would only issue refund if hotel agreed. Hotel refused refund per Priceline. Very poor customer service as in my family was trying to flee from the hurricane. I will never use priceline again. I have requested to speak to a supervisor and am put on hold forever. Guess they figure I will just hang up if I am ignored.

    Priceline website represents parking on and off site, regular parking and valet. I made reservations for Kawasaki hotel in Los Angeles. Had a court hearing the next day at federal building. When I got to the hotel they have no on-site parking for customers. Charge 40 for offside valet. I request cancellation. Priceline refused and charged my card, saying because hotel refuses cancellation that I am not entitled. This is false advertisement and I'm definitely filing a court complaint. When something's cheaper than the average there's always some catch. Be careful you don't want to get stuck overseas!!!!

    I would not recommend. They allowed hotels that have no power and to be listed during a Hurricane. When asked about the refund due to the fact the hotel has no power they said they cannot help due to them having saying there will be no refund. Which stated if I cancelled it due to me not making. When asked about it they said the hotel had to give the refund when the hotel didn't take the money out of my account. They still will not refund. They also only give half the money back to the other they have refunded.

    Takes your money. Always having problems checking in and never get any of my refunds back. Worst place to book. I will never book thru Priceline again. Too many problems and they are not being resolved fast.
