    I booked a weekend trip in July for the month of September..I also paid for insurance coverage just in case. The day I was suppose to fly out, due to bad weather, my flight was cancelled and I was no longer able to attend the trip. The airline refunded me right away and notified Priceline, however, the hotel needed proof of cancelled flight in which I provided. A week went by, I called Priceline again, was given the run around being told they’re waiting for hotel. After several weeks of calling and advocating for myself, I finally called the hotel in which they stated they provided Priceline with the approval..

    I notified Priceline and they again, gave me the same run around and advised the person who submitted the email didn’t include a job title.. then placed me on HOLD for 3 hours before disconnecting. Attempted to call again and was given the same run around they’re waiting for hotel to respond. Will never book through Priceline again. Awful business. Awful customer service and even worse follow-up/through. The hotel even told me to just book through them next time it’d be cheaper and offered me a free weekend stay due to Priceline doing NOTHING!! Still haven’t gotten my money back.

    I booked a hotel room through the Priceline app. When I got to the hotel they had no rooms available, I called Priceline customer service from the lobby of the hotel and got the run around for 2 weeks straight. I was finally able to speak to a supervisor and he denied my refund stating that I should have read my email. I was beyond upset, I asked to speak to someone else and he said I will get a phone call that I still have not received. Very discourteous and unreasonable. I do not recommend.

    I used Priceline to reserve a room at the Days Inn and Ocean Springs. Granted the reservation went to the Days Inn in Gulfport I called Priceline to change the reservation back to the one in Ocean springs. They couldn't do it supposedly. They told me to contact today's then I contacted days inn. They couldn't do it. Supposedly they didn't have a way to modify it. I even contacted their corporate office which also said they couldn't modify it and I couldn't cancel the reservation because I wouldn't have been refunded so either way I've lost out on my money when I know one of them could have modified it or if not both and very bad experience and I'll never go with either one of them again. I'll never stay at Days inn and I'll never order through Priceline.

    I purchased seats with Priceline and paid extra money so we could all sit in the same row but when we arrived at the airport, American Airlines told us they could seat us wherever they wanted, and that our money was wasted by paying for tickets with Priceline that we were not going to be sitting together.

    I am looking for flights from San Jose to Houston recently. Since I am the gold member of Priceline, it automatically unlocked VIP Express Deals for me, making flights from Bay Area to IAH $200 less than the normal price. Too good to be true! Right? Then, when I was trying to lock in that deal and pay for it, it declined almost all of my payment methods, making me unable to purchase that deal. My credit card, PayPal and Google pay were all declined. I used three different credit cards, none of them went through. What a joke! This may be a trick that they are trying to play with their customers.

    We went on a 3 week trip. Texas to Maine and back. Only hotels booked. When it goes well, it’s great. When it doesn’t, it’s horrible. The biggest problem happened when I called a hotel we were checking in that day for three nights. They said we didn’t have a reservation. I called Priceline. They tell me I have to call Booking.com. Booking.com tells me I have to call Priceline. So aggravating. Finally got it worked out but only after I worked on it for over TWO hours! Won’t use them again.

    My mother and father used Priceline to book their rental vehicle for a romantic trip that they were beyond excited for. My mother booked with their online system; while booking the website glitched back to the default dates (not the dates my mother selected) without warning or notification. After getting the confirmation email my mother politely called Hertz; Hertz advised they can’t do anything and to call Priceline. My mother then called Priceline whom sent her back to Hertz, Hertz hung up on my mother and left her in tears with an unauthorized additional charge and canceled her reservation with no explanation or confirmation.

    After this she called Priceline; whom advised the reservation was canceled and they can’t help. They then told her that the reservation rental insurance was charged but they can’t assist her. After being understandably upset she spoke with a manager who did not provide any customer service either. The expectation was that my crying mother whom was confused and concerned had to call the rental insurance herself without any information to action this. I have never seen such bad customer service which is shocking as in Canada all we hear is how extraordinary customer service the USA has; this was the exact opposite of what my mother experienced.

    I completely understand human error but to blatantly tell another human being who is begging you with panic in their voice for some sort of genuine guidance and support to, to then tell her to “figure it out” and mute your mic to hope she hangs up is truly heartbreaking. Do not use this company. They don’t have any form of customer service or human decency.

    I am writing to express my profound disappointment and frustration with the appalling experience I recently encountered while booking a vacation through your platform. My family and I had planned a long-awaited trip to New York, consisting of flights, hotel reservations, and car rentals, all arranged through Priceline. This was supposed to be a memorable family vacation, but it turned into a nightmare, thanks to Priceline's incompetence and negligence.

    To begin with, I received confirmation emails from Priceline just a day before our trip, which led me to believe that everything was in order. I took time off from work, made all the necessary preparations, and eagerly looked forward to our vacation. However, on the morning of our departure, things took a disastrous turn. When attempting to check in for our flight to New York, I encountered constant errors and ultimately received a notification stating that my flight had been canceled.

    Distressed and confused, I immediately called Priceline's customer service, seeking clarification and assistance. Instead of receiving any helpful information or resolution, I was met with assurances that everything was fine on their end and that my booking was still active. They instructed me to proceed to the airport, assuring me that I would receive assistance there.

    Upon arriving at the airport, the situation went from bad to worse. The Spirit Airlines staff informed me that my flight had been canceled a shocking 10 days prior, and they had already processed a refund for my ticket. I attempted to contact Priceline repeatedly while at the airport, but each time I called, I was either placed on hold indefinitely or transferred to another person who couldn't provide any answers. In a disgraceful display of negligence, some Priceline representatives even called Spirit Airlines on my behalf and promptly vanished when they realized they couldn't help.

    My entire day, my precious vacation leave, and my family's excitement were utterly ruined. After three hours of futile phone conversations, not one Priceline customer service representative had the decency to inform me that my flight had been canceled and that going to the airport was futile. This level of negligence and incompetence is simply unforgivable.

    As if this ordeal wasn't enough, I was also unable to secure a refund for the hotel I had booked through Priceline. Despite the fact that the cancellation was entirely beyond my control, Priceline insisted on holding me responsible for the hotel charges. This experience has left me feeling scammed and deeply disheartened.

    In all my years of traveling and dealing with various companies, I have never encountered such a colossal failure in customer service. The stress and frustration I endured during this ordeal were indescribable, and I hold Priceline responsible for this entire debacle. Your customers deserve better than this. It is imperative that Priceline takes immediate action to prevent others from suffering through such a horrendous experience.

    Priceline.com/Booking.com made reservations for us at a hotel in San Antonio. I had to cancel due to a change in my travel plans. This was a refundable reservation. Priceline never told the hotel we cancelled and the hotel thought we were a no show. Priceline charged us the whole amount and the hotel would only return two of the days charges instead of three because we were a no show. I had a cancellation email that I have sent to the hotel and Priceline and they still have not refunded the difference. I am disputing the charge through my credit card company at present. The customer service is terrible and you can't talk to anyone at Priceline. You are automatically transferred to Booking.com which is their sister organization. Save yourself a lot of frustration and never book with Priceline or Booking.com.

    I have had two awful experiences with Priceline in the last week. I purchased tickets under their Express deal while purchasing last minute for a family emergency. This emergency extended my stay past my scheduled flight time. I purchased trip insurance, which I was unable to use since the agent failed to cancel my ticket as requested prior to my flight time.

    I booked another Express Deal while paying for yet ANOTHER flight since their customer service failed me. The terms of the purchase state "less than 3 hour layover" on Express Deal purchases. My ticket purchased had a layover exceeding that. When I called to report this to their customer service agent and request a flight aligning in the 3 hour maximum layover time frame; I was told the ticket is non-refundable and cannot be changed. Priceline refused to honor their contract with me. For this reason; I will forego using them on any future purchases. Their customer service is putrid.

    I recently been booking through Priceline and on two different occasions when booking it booked me for wrong day and 1.3 miles from where I actually was staying. When I called them they kept my money for a hotel 2 nights I never stayed at and promised to compensate me a night once other night got refunded. Never received 1 night compensation. "Only 10% off your stay." So recently they been having low prices and I book but again once payment Add it loads and book me for 1 week later. So the hotel is representative is very help with assisting me and Priceline acting it is okay. They are using virtual card to compensate my room for the night and refund other date payment. 20 minutes later manager comes to room and state virtual is scheduled for wrong date. "Need you call back to Priceline."

    Long story short they can’t modify/cancel/or reschedule any schedule appointments with hotels but have it as an option. They are scamming us out of our money and don’t care. Please be aware of who you booking with. You get what you pay. Low prices low quality of service as well. Now I am stuck with a hotel bill that Priceline was suppose to compensate but they paid for wrong day. Also, they lie. You must record everything they tell you because they will be saying two different things to front desk and customer.

    I called from Roanoke VA for myself and son to rent a hotel room with our one dog from Priceline. I was told by Priceline that the dog was free for this hotel Travelodge by Wyndham Roanoke 6621 Thirlane Rd, Roanoke, VA, 24019 and that it was an awesome hotel to stay at for 7 days. We got there and went to check in and our reservation wasn't correct and took long time to see if they had a "clean room" but there was very few cars in the parking lot.

    We got checked in and the room was HORRIBLE, curtains was tore, big hole in bathroom wall behind the door, a bug (roach) went crawling across the bathtub, black (looked like mold) around the bathtub, no smoke alarms in the room at all, ac/heat didn't work and knob was broke, called manager and he was VERY RUDE and ended up hanging up on me. I called Priceline to get a refund to go somewhere else and they denied saying it was non-refundable and it states right on their website and the website of the hotel that it is free refunds, but they would not refund or cancel the rest of the week that I had paid for. So, I am disputing the charges at my bank and moving out of this very nasty room to another hotel and I will NEVER use Priceline again.

    I recently had a booking with Priceline for the dates of July 16th, 2023, to July 18th, 2023, at a rate of $47 per night, inclusive of breakfast, with an additional charge of $3 to $4 for extras. Unfortunately, my experience with your customer service left me extremely dissatisfied and frustrated. I encountered an issue with my reservation when I realized I was being charged $95 per night without breakfast, contrary to what was originally agreed upon. My attempts to resolve this issue led to a frustrating runaround between Booking.com and Priceline, with neither party taking responsibility for the problem or providing a satisfactory resolution.

    To make matters worse, I found the customer service representatives from both companies to be exceptionally rude and unhelpful throughout this ordeal. This experience has left me deeply disappointed and dissatisfied with the level of service I received. As a result of this negative experience, I regret to say that I will not be booking through Priceline again in the future, and I cannot, in good conscience, recommend your services to others.

    In looking online for an airport car to rent, the Priceline website asked me if I wanted electric or gasoline. I clearly responded "gasoline". It was then asking what size or type of car I wanted. Since size and type didn't matter to me, I opted for "dealer's choice". It was not until I arrived to pick up the car that I was informed that "dealer's choice" included electric cars. My only option at that point, was to pay multiple times my original price to get a gasoline car--even a refund was not an option! Their online description should have been more clear. It was downright deceptive. This was my first and last experience with Priceline. Calling Priceline directly was no help at all. They had my money and could care less about my dissatisfaction.

    I recently booked a hotel with Priceline, and within seconds, I realized that I had the dates wrong. I contacted Priceline, and within 7 minutes, I was conversing with a rep, who then told me that the booking was non-refundable. He placed me on a brief hold to call the hotel, then returned a short time later to say he could not get hold of anyone at the hotel, and that they would contact me the following day. I intend to check into the hotel on the same day the reservation was made. I then made a reservation at the same hotel for the same night and they canceled the reservation I made with Priceline with no problem.

    The following morning, I received an email from Priceline advising that the hotel refused to cancel the reservation and grant a refund. It obviously was a lie. The hotel advised that they were never contacted by Priceline, and that seemed commonplace for Priceline to tell customers that they contacted them when they did not. Priceline obviously lied to me about the money being non-refundable, and that they contacted the hotel, when they clearly did not.

I asked to speak with a manager and was told I would receive a call within 1 - 2 hours. No call received. Due to the conditions and seeing a black bug Saturday morning we had no choice but to check out of the hotel early and seek alternative reservations, without any assistance from Priceline.

    Called Priceline again and they are refusing to provide a refund. When I called back again spoke with a representative that I couldn't understand. When I asked where they were calling from, was told Philippines. I asked to speak to a manger, she refused and told me my reservations couldn't be refunded and offered me a 15% coupon.

    I booked a weeklong trip into Milan, Italy with friends and returning back via Venice. Priceline was very good until the very last jog of my trip. They flew me from Amsterdam to JFK. I had to recheck my baggage in JFK. It was then that they told me that Priceline should’ve booked it to LaGuardia. They don’t have a direct flight to Fort Myers Fl. I asked the person at the counter at JFK how I was supposed to get to LaGuardia and she told me I had to take a taxi or an Uber or a Lyft. I had to immediately hire a Lyft to get me to LaGuardia before I missed my flight.

    I called Priceline this morning to let them know what was going on. The man told me that it was not Priceline that messed up. It was Delta's fault because they set up the flights. I reminded him that I booked it through Priceline. I never told them what airline to use. It was their responsibility to get me where I needed to go and explain that if I need to do some kind of transfer from Airport to Airport that it was my responsibility.

    The man on the line told me that it was JFK and Delta that should’ve told me that. I am a single female, traveling alone, and I was left at one airport and needed to get to the other one immediately before my flight was gone. I will never use Priceline again for this. It shows clearly how they value their customers and how they will leave you stranded in a heartbeat, and not care about you as a customer. They take absolutely no responsibility, and I am left paying a huge lift fee.

    I booked a hotel reservation online on Priceline's Website on September 29, 2023. I had up to 24hrs to cancele or change my reservation. I arrive at the Guest House hotel around September 29, 2023 around 9pm last night. The hotel clerk refuse to check me into the hotel. Without a deposit of $25 on a debt card. Or $40 cash holding fee to cover any damages. I called Priceline customer service supervisors. To see if they could help me with my reservations. But I was told by Priceline supervisor. That it was not up to Priceline to issue me a refund.

    The Priceline customer service agent told me that it was up to the Guest House hotel customer service agent. If they choose to refund me my money back! But I did not make my hotel Reservations through the hotel. I made it through Priceline. But the Priceline customer service supervisor kept putting me on hold. And going back & forth talking between me and the hotel staff! I was hung up on by the Priceline supervisor of Priceline. And while I was talking to the Priceline supervisor. He kept muting the phone. And claim they were having problems with their system to cover up him ignoring me. Now they're trying to play my bank against me. Claiming that's it is up to my back to decide when my refund will go back in my bank. I called my bank this morning to find out when my refund will appear back in my bank account. But my bank customer service agent told me that she does not see any refund issued from Priceline.

    On the Priceline website, it says that a refund could take up to 24hrs to appear back in my checking account. But when I call the Priceline to speak with a customer service agent. But their recording says that it could take up to 1 to 10 business days. Before my refund will appear back into my checking account! Now I see why Priceline has 1 star review. Now I believe that the war is against Americans. Each person involved in scamming and stealing customers money. Will have their chance to answer to God on his judgment day! The bible says that money can be a root of all evil. If you allow it to! I should not have to sleep in a car. Because I trusted crooks!

Oh, but I bought the insurance!!!! Guess what? They want proof of why it was cancelled. Like something really has to happened for them to compensate the claim which make sense.

We were reserved to stay in the same hotel on the return trip. We asked on checkout to cancel return trip reservation due to the bed situation as at our age this is everything. We booked our return with Holliday Inn Express in Ogallala Ne, the AmericInn was booked through Priceline. They obliged the cancellation (AmericInn) but however decided to keep the return trip money. Priceline did nothing as when they were approached by Priceline (AmericInn) (according to the Priceline email I received) they denied my refund. So I paid for a rm I did not stay in.

    Booked a trip Using the United Airlines website, little did I know that when choosing to book a "package" on their website you are actually being sent Using a Priceline even though everything still says and looks like the United Airlines Website. I will be writing a review about United because of this later, but back to my experience. I booked a flight, and car rental and purchased trip insurance, and after receiving confirmation via email noticed a problem. One of the names on the trip was incorrect, so I needed to cancel and rebook because of this issue. No problem on the United website or so I thought and just canceled and then rebooked on the same flight with names corrected. Well after receiving my credit card statement noticed that the charges were to Priceline and that they only gave me a small portion of the credit I should have received.

    After contacting them they refused to give me credit, actually, the only customer service reps I could talk to were in some other country and communication was difficult. Frustrated I contacted United Airlines and they were of no help either, speaking as well to someone in the Philippines with not the best English. Seems like everyone is outsourcing their customer service to another country!!

    Dissatisfied with Priceline's answer, that I would have to pay $600 (approx) and receive NO benefit I am in the process of disputing the Charge with my credit card company. I also went to the BBB to file a complaint and was not too surprised to find that Priceline had only a B rating and Many Many thousands of filed complaints against them for similar practices and problems. SO BEWARE OF PRICELINE, READ SOME OF THE HORROR STORIES ABOUT THEM, I WOULD STAY FAR, FAR AWAY

    I wish I could leave a zero-star review, as that is exactly what this company deserves. When I arrived at the MSP airport to pick up my vehicle, the Thrifty representative said she could not find my reservation (and was quite rude, to be honest). I was forced to rent directly from Avis, as none of the other car rental companies had available cars and I was forced to take what Avis currently had in stock. As a result, my cost was more than double than the amount I had pre-paid nearly two months prior to the pickup date of September 2, 2023 (I made the reservation on Sunday, July 9, 2023). The original amount that I pre-paid was $315.73. The amount I had to pay at the Avis counter was $695.39 plus the deposit of $200. I did get my entire $200 deposit back once the car was returned and processed—which turned into an entirely different nightmare.

    When I submitted my request to be reimbursed for the difference, I explained in detail why I needed to get a different size car than the original reservation: BECAUSE THE AIRPORT ONLY HAD THAT SIZE. I had a 2.5 hour drive ahead of me to rural Minnesota and I had no other choices available to me (e.g. shuttle, ride share, etc.). I submitted all of the necessary forms/explanation on September 16 and I only JUST today (September 29) received an email saying they would not fulfill the reimbursement. This company is a mess; non-feeling, horrible customer service, terrible practices. I'm not quite sure how they are still in business.

    I’ve used Priceline for many years with great results. However they are no longer the same reputable company. The rates they list are much lower than the price you pay. Once you check room rates you will find additional fees, like ‘resort fees’ on top of fees and taxes. One hotel I nearly booked had a hotel fee well over $100 due at check-in. Customer service has always been nonexistent, so there is little reason to use this failing company.

    We had a horrible rental car experience out of Toronto Airport (offsite pickup with NextCar) last week. Turns out, this rental car company was featured 3 years ago on a hidden cam TV show that exposes scams and bad business practices. This company gets people in the door on the lowest rates and they insists that people pay for additional insurance coverage and they charge an additional 8% PER DAY if you pay by credit card. A 3 day car rental for $154 total was going to cost an additional $199.95 for insurance. The problem is that Priceline takes no ownership even though they are involved in the process. They have no procedures in place where companies like NextCar in Mississauga (also rent cars under Economy Car and Fox Rent A Car) can be blacklisted to protect future customers. The reality is they just want their commission and really aren't interested in whether the transaction goes well or not.

    We made a reservation through Priceline. We were traveling on United Airlines and our 1st flight was delayed which caused us to miss our second or connecting flight. We called both parties; Hotel and Priceline at the AIRPORT. Hotel said they can't help because we used a 3rd party (Priceline) and Priceline said they can't help or make changes to our reservation and that we would be a No-Show. When we arrived the next day the hotel made us pay for the rooms that we already paid for through Priceline. Essentially we paid Priceline for our rooms ($2,300) and had to pay the Hotel again for the same rooms. We have reached out Priceline about 7 times to resolve this issue, but they have not refunded our monies. Take caution when using Priceline because the entire process is a time consuming hassle. We have paid close to $4,000 for Hotel reservations that should have only cost us $2,000.

Upon arriving at the counter desk of Thrifty I saw several families with small children left to fend for themselves. I was heartbroken and glad that I had the resources to get a hotel in close distance to the airport. That cost me over $200 and a lost day from my business trip.

    This is a regular practice of this location from what I was told by the neighboring rental car service. Thrifty plan of action was to give us a flyer with a customer service number which leads to a maze after regular work hours. Here is the number 1-800-334-1705. Upon reaching Thrifty they informed to contact Price Line. l contacted PriceLine and PriceLine told me it was Thrifty's responsibility. Priceline is seeking to resolve this matter.

Ex we were supposed to be at a hotel with a pool and they had one but it was bone dry. Also they were supposed to have Wi-Fi and it wasn’t available in the area where my hotel was located.

    Priceline is not a reputable company. Customers must be made aware of the full on reluctance and blatant disrespect of our hard earned money. The company's third-party booking services is a money grab, so be vigilant if you decide to use this so-called- 'service provider'. The communication is egregious with unfair policies. The companies agents are unhelpful, so don't bother to call. I booked 1 night and cancelled less than 1 hour due to circumstances beyond my control. There was a safety issue with UA. Flight delayed almost 10 hours. Priceline did not offer a solution, they did not offer a compromise, they did not offer a courtesy for up to 1 year to honour the booking such as a gift card...nothing. The company simply wanted to take my money.

    Even the hotel that was booked was willing to compromise with their cancellation policy. As far as consumers are concerned, third party booking agents are always a risk. There needs to be more regulations where they are concerned. Airlines are already getting away with all these obscene hikes in their airfare, then we have to contend with booking agents who also use this to take advantage. Something must be done, starting with Priceline. I've never heard one good thing about the company's services. Not one.

    More regulation and accountability needs to be enacted. The policies are unfair and downright robbery. Emergencies with airlines happens all too often, delays upon delays. Priceline needs to take these occurrences into consideration pertaining to the company's so-called refund or cancellation policy. Consumers are suffering.

    I had issues with my flight and rental and both times I was told to reach out to the airline and rental companies myself. They did not even attempt to take some of the stress off me even with me having the trip protection plan. This will probably be my last time using them for a while and I will definitely not be adding the protection plan on the near future if this continues to happen.

The online person was not able to provide me with any help or help me resolve my situation. I asked to talk to a representative live but the number that they provided me gave me the computer run around and was not able to talk to a live agent? I online for almost 45 min.

    Complete Fail on Priceline. Booked an entire package (airline, hotel, and car) for my Ireland package. Come to find out they input the dates incorrectly for my hotel and shorted us an entire day so we had nowhere to go the last day of our stay. I was told by Priceline that it was my responsibility to make sure THEY put the right dates in for my entire stay. So as a customer I can not rely on Priceline to do what they say they will do and to back their deal. I also paid for insurance through Allianz Global Assistance to make sure I was covered on my trip and they literally were no help. Highly suggest you don’t use this company. Worst experience to be stuck in a foreign country with nowhere to stay.

    This was the worst customer service I've ever had. I was given no alternative no true compensation for the fact that they didn't actually our reservation but we paid in advance and it wasn't guaranteed. And when they called it was already 8:30 at night the night of the reservation and they wanted me to pay more to be able to still have a room somewhere else. And then when I said I couldn't because I didn't have any more money they offered me $20 in addition to my refund which isn't going to get here for 3 days. Please don't use Priceline if you want to guaranteed room for the night or if you want your reservation to actually mean anything. Does Priceline doesn't guarantee you a room even if you pay in advance. You'll end up sleeping in a car with only an extra 20 bucks and your money not even return to you on the spot.

    They tell you that you have until a certain date to cancel, but in their policy fine print, it makes it impossible to actually cancel on that day. For example, I was told that I could cancel up until the 15th but the fine print said up until 12 AM on the 15th which makes no sense at all. That’s essentially the 14th. they made me jump through a whole bunch of hoops but still wouldn’t cancel a reservation more than 24 hours before check-in, without charge. DON’T TRUST these guys.

    Priceline. The people that work at priceline are incompetent, heartless monsters. I deserve a full refund for what they did to me. On sept 9, I booked a room at Extended Stay America. It was particularly important that you understand I booked this room specifically to relax before a very stressful event taking place on the following Monday. At 8 pm Sept 9, I received an email that said “extend your stay for only $62”. I was thrilled as I didn't have much money, and I really needed the extra day to sleep in, and relax as I have Crohn’s disease.

    When i clicked the link, it would misdirect me to another site entirely. So I made a phone call and spoke with a man named Louis. I asked him to extend my reservation for a second night for the price I was offered in the email. He took all my information, including my money - $77 to be exact. Charged my card and gave me a confirmation number. The next day at the lobby, the manager of the hotel informed me Louis had made a drastic error. He reserved me for a room at an ENTIRELY DIFFERENT HOTEL. This was terrible. The managers of both hotels spoke with each other agreeing to cancel the reservation due to the late cancellation policy, but priceline did not care.

    I called customer service at 1030 am, right before I was about to be kicked out of my room. I was sick, vomiting and other personal things related to Crohn’s disease, yet I had to wait for priceline to call me back, and once they did they told me over and over again there was nothing that could be done. “Sorry for the inconvenience but there's nothing we can do.” Their only solution was to give me a refund and for me to make new reservation. This was unacceptable as I would not have the refund immediately to make another reservation. I spent my last bit of money to extend that reservation.

    While on the phone with them I explained how severe it was that I needed to be in a room immediately. That this was THEIR FAULT. Louis put me in the wrong hotel and charged me. I then had to stand outside my hotel in the rain while I argued with priceline that they were ** me” because they were. They had made an error. Refused to fix it. And refused to help a sick person in need. Their response was “Ma'am we do not tolerate that profanity”. Well, I don't tolerate people who lack sympathy. Especially when it's their fault. Priceline should have taken full responsibility and got me a reservation at the hotel I was already at, as they should have done in the first place.

    After that customer service agent was of no help, I asked to talk to their supervisor. After explaining i was suffering from a chronic flare up, her answer was “I will escalate this and have a resolution in about 24 hours.” Again, this was unacceptable. Pleading with priceline I BEGGED this supervisor to try and understand just how bad this hurt me physically. But they did not care. There was nothing that could be done. LUCKILY, the manager at extended stay gave me time to remove my things and helped me get an early check in at the other hotel.

    JUST as I was about to hang up with priceline, they said “okay well we are going to just cancel the reservation” and again I had to say! "WHAT, NO, NOW I HAVE TO GET EVERYTHING I'VE TRAVELED WITH AND FIND TRANSPORTATION TO THE WRONG HOTEL YOU PUT ME IN TODAY." I don't understand why after telling me over and over there's nothing that can be done and my only actual option was to move to the other hotel they would then suggest cancelling it. The lack of empathy is pathetic. The lack of accountability is garbage. This is the WORST company I have ever spoken to on the phone regarding customer service.

    Once i finally got my stuff moved and over to the other hotel, the hotel priceline moved me into was MUCH worse. I was so disappointed. I was so sick. And I will never use priceline as long as I live. And to the people talking to me that day, you never really know what a person is going through, so you really should starting owning your mistakes and start treating customers with respect. I don't think even if I had died from the amount of stress this added to my already stressful life they would have even blinked. I deserve my $77 back. And a VERY deep apology.

    As someone who travels regularly for work as well as family commitments I have used this service and others regularly. However, this is the second time I have been suggested to wait on booking, booked a “flexible cancellation” room, and then when one slightly closer to my destination (that was actually going to be more expensive) or due to a flight issue have been told that I cannot cancel the reservation. A reservation I had made not even an hour earlier with the reason being due to it being less than 24 hours from check in.

    I understand that is a policy, but if it is still advertised as flexible when I make the reservation, which is within that 24 hour window, then I should still have that flexibility to some extent. It is a blatant example of false advertising. I will most likely not be using this service again as it does not value the human element of planning nor does it seem to have the capacity to work with its customers when events outside our control occur. A small fee or the first day's fee would be unreasonable with the timeframe, but not a complete refusal of refund for a week long stay.

When I arrived in Charlotte and picked up my vehicle they asked for a credit card in case of an incident, but then charged me 344 dollars in the end. When I reached out to Priceline they said there was nothing they could do because of the “extra purchase” of gas that I made at the desk. I need to go through Hertz, when I went to Hertz they also said there is nothing they can do. So rather than paying the difference of 14 dollars I had to pay twice for a vehicle.

    Priceline put me with Dollar Car Rental, with a quote of $86.79 for 2 days of rental of an economy car at Raleigh-Durham airport. I ended up with a bill of $150.05. First the daily rental charged was $34.99 instead of $27.65 as quoted. Then Dollar gave me 3 options and I picked the basic option of coverage. They did not give me the option of opting out. Ended up adding another $19.98. Then they sold us the Toll Charges package for $27.98 when we absolutely encountered no toll at all. We tried to call on the first day but were never able to talk to an agent about these charges.

    We decided to go back to the rental at the airport (as there is no other Dollar Car Rental in the city). There was a line of about 40 people waiting for 2 agents at 3:30pm, probably about a 2+ hours wait. We left and came back at 6:30pm, there were still about 30+ people in line. We had to give up the appeal. I would never rent from Dollar Car Rental again with such poor and deceptive service. Priceline can do better in protecting their customers.

    Ultimately I chatted more with Priceline and they told me that they could not adjust the time. I also called Priceline Customer Support and they verified that they could not change the pick up time by 4 hours. Most disappointing is that both Companies pointed the finger at the other company as the one I needed to go through. Ultimately it was Priceline who lied repeatedly through the chat (which I have).

    I rented a car through Priceline and had a terrible experience. Clearly on their website, it was stated that you could cancel at any time. So I chose a car that I was going to need while I was getting repairs on my vehicle. They were able to finish the repairs my vehicle quickly And I was able to return the car early. Priceline refused to give me any sort of refund or coupons towards another rental. They’re rude to me on the phone and would not budge. I will never use this company ever again.

    I purchased rooms on Priceline like I always do, when I take my trips. This time I paid for my trip arrived at the location and was asked for my credit card for incidentals. I gave my card and realized they card me for the entire price of the hotel for the number of nights I booked and it was way lower than Priceline. Priceline charged $340.** and the hotel charged me $276 for the four nights. I still have the hotel charge that I am fighting since I already paid for the trip through Priceline. Also, Priceline was no help with getting the second charge off my card, still working on getting it off. Priceline is a scam, they don’t give you the cheapest price like they say!!!!

    We booked our flights home to Newfoundland and Priceline flights selected were Air North Calgary to Edmonton. We were not informed until our bags were out through that we’d have to collect our luggage again in Edmonton and go back through security to catch our West Jet flight. We arrived in Edmonton with less than 45 minutes to collect baggage and then get back through security and check our bags again. At this point our West Jet flight had done its final boarding call and we informed we had missed our flight. Priceline would not rebook us for our flight from Edmonton to St John's. We were stranded in Edmonton.

    West Jet was unable to help as we had booked with Priceline. Our flights were illegally paired together and not a possible connection. After the ordeal and lots of tears we booked for new flights for $1100 and a hotel in Edmonton. We had to fly back to Calgary then to St. John’s the next day. WORST company and CUSTOMER service with Priceline. I would highly recommend booking with FlightHub instead.

    Cancellation scam alert: Priceline refuses refunds and, instead, offers flight credit for American Airlines, which cannot be conveniently redeemed online. They request customers to call and endure long waits, approximately 45 minutes, to use the credit. It's advisable to skip purchasing through them and, instead, consider directly booking with American Airlines. Such issues haven't arisen when using Travelocity.

    Priceline gave discounted rate for reputable car rental companies then pulled a bait and switch and made the rental from Sixt Car Rental Company. Sixt has one star rating on Tripadvisor, Trust Pilot, Better Business Bureau, and less than 3 starts on Google because up to four weeks after renting one of their vehicles damage charges and 'odd smell' charges appear on the renter's credit card. I DID NOT WANT TO RENT A CAR FROM SIXT.

    I tried to get refund because at no time during the rental car process was I advised Sixt would be the company from which I'd be renting. Priceline refused, saying the booking was non-refundable. How can priceline even work with a company that has such a horrible reputation in the business community and among consumers. Do not use Priceline's rental car links, you could get stuck with Sixt, a company that has the worst reviews of any rental car company in the United States and abroad.
