    I booked a hotel room through Priceline.com for a stay on Monday, August 11, 2026. Exactly 11 days prior, on July 31, 2026, the hotel suffered a severe fire. Out of serious concern for my safety and health, especially given a pre-existing respiratory condition that makes lingering smoke hazardous, I called Priceline customer care at 855-201-5621 to request alternate accommodations or a credit for a future stay. Despite calling multiple times, I was repeatedly told that because the hotel wasn't completely closed, I was still expected to stay there.

    Priceline refused to offer alternate lodging, deny-listed my request for a future travel credit, and even refused to escalate my case to a supervisor. Forcing customers to choose between forfeiting their money or staying in a recently burned, potentially unsafe building shows an alarming lack of care for safety and basic customer service.

    If I could give no stars that's really what I would do they don't even deserve one so now to the review.. I used to use Priceline quite a bit but the last three times I booked a hotel, simply put "they got the gold mine, & I got the shaft". The property was asking for a credit card for any incidental charges, ok however they were saying let's go ahead and just assume there's going to be an equal amount of charges incurred during your 17 hour stay as the price already paid, so let's go and add another $50 for safety's sake. HUH?? That's a bait and switch if there ever was. The so called deposit becomes more revenue that doesn't return nearly as fast. If you're lucky maybe 3 weeks plus, maybe. An immigrant here treating American customers like they're still in the old country with disrespect.

    "When in Rome..." trying to double dip and double the price and Priceline don't give a ** about their customers all they know is they got their money and to be honest with you when I look at motel 6 direct site they're $10 cheaper than Priceline so they ain't doing ** for you anyway and all I have to say is that's a non refundable booking but if you weren't able to check in you didn't get what you bought.

    Even after pointing out in their own fine print that a credit card may be needed for incidentals that doesn't mean that they have to go ahead and double charge put a $50 charge for a $50 room on the card right then and there when they're already having customers are complaining that they can't get the refund three weeks out so they want the money instantly but they foot dragging on giving it back and that to me is fraud that is That's a classic bait and switch I think Priceline should be a lot more conscious of their customer not some jackass hotelier from Pakistan or wherever the hell they're from and they they act like they're still back in the old country they don't act like hey we're in the United States so let's do right. No hospitality, inhospitable.

    This is the last time I will be screwed over by Priceline!! It has let me book hotel rooms that weren't available, kept my money for 3 business days! It has falsely advertised shuttles for hotels and tried not to refund me based on me being stranded by that misinformation. It has booked car reservations at businesses that have no cars available and AGAIN KEPT MY MONEY FOR DAYS even though the booking had to be canceled. Imagine how much money they are making holding these funds across the world EVERY DAY! Never again. AND I HAD TO GO THROUGH AI TO DO IT!! No.

    I understood the blind reservation upon booking. I wasn't thrilled with a 3 hour layover, but planned on getting some work done during that time. About 11:21 pm, I happen to be awake and checked my email out of boredom. Lo and behold an email from Priceline that the connecting flight had been cancelled and I had been rebooked on a flight that now had a 4 hour layover in the same city, PLUS now an additional 4 hour layover in LAX! The complete opposite direction of where I was headed to begin with. So my 3 dreaded 3 hour layover was now a combined 8 hour with an additional 3 hour flight! So a one hour flight turned into a 16 hour ordeal. Impossible to reach anyone to discuss a possible change of connecting flights, absolutely no refund or discounted flight. I will never use Priceline again nor will I recommend them!

    I actually don’t even give them one star. Priceline ** me around for three weeks. I spent hours trying to get a refund for a hotel stay that I made due to the death of a family member suddenly. Priceline will take your money and then use yet ANOTHER booking agent to make the reservation and refuse to work with you at all in terms of giving a refund. So when the booking agent “can’t get ahold of the hotel” their third party issue now becomes your problem even though Priceline is the one that took my money. It’s lovely. Hotels will tell you absolutely don’t go through them. It’s ALWAYS a hassle and very rarely does it work in the customers favor because THEY DON’T CARE ABOUT CUSTOMERS which is a terrible look if you’re literally working with people in every aspect. So thanks for taking my 400$ and me spending weeks and HOURS on this for you to tell me “too bad”. Avoid them at all cost because I tell you, it will cost you otherwise.

    Horrible customer service! They represent horrible rental companies that screw you over when you get to your destination and tack on the most ridiculous fees. You can't do anything about it because you are in an unknown area and need a rental car. When addressed with Priceline, they don't respond to your emails and phone calls. Priceline chooses to represent cheap, unprofessional and sneaky companies and then turn a blind eye to it. I will never do business with Priceline again.

    Priceline Let Us Down, Not the Hotel. I rarely leave negative reviews, but our experience booking through Priceline was extremely disappointing. We booked a room at TownePlace Suites by Marriott New Orleans Metairie because Priceline advertised accommodations that appeared to sleep four people. When we arrived, it was obvious the room would not comfortably sleep four unless someone slept on the floor. To make matters worse, the original room had a strong smoke odor.

    To be fair, the hotel staff handled the situation professionally and promptly moved us to another room. Unfortunately, that room's air conditioning failed during the night, and we woke up miserable from the heat. There were also concerns around the property, including people openly using drugs near the entrance and close to the pool area where children were swimming. While these issues were alarming, the hotel staff were courteous and did their best to address the problems we experienced.

    Due to the number of inconveniences, the hotel agreed to refund our stay. However, Priceline refused to help at all, repeatedly responding with "non-refundable" without listening to our concerns or acknowledging that the room provided did not match the expectations created by their listing and photos. Hotels can have unexpected issues, and I believe TownePlace Suites did what they could to make things right. My frustration is entirely with Priceline. Based on this experience, I would strongly recommend booking directly with the hotel whenever possible. If we had done that, I believe resolving the situation would have been much easier. My advice: Avoid Priceline. Their customer service did not stand behind the booking experience they advertised, and when problems arose, they offered no meaningful support.

    The people that you talk to when booking a hotel/motel do not know what they are doing!! I was booking for an Amish family that was out of town with another family member that was sent to a hospital in a major city. They do not have credit cards or any id. (religious reasons) She said that I could use my credit card and put the room in the wife's name and then go to the hotel and check in and then her husband could go there later that night and stay. When we got there to check in, they wouldn't let us have the room because they HAD to have picture id of the person with the credit card AND that person's name had have the reservation in their name.

    We were there over an hour trying to straighten this out because Priceline couldn't reach the hotel by phone. They tried 3 times before they would let me give them the CORRECT number. They refused to give a refund and let us book right from the hotel so we almost had to pay twice. They finally took the correct number and straightened it out. The people that spent the night said that the hotel was nasty after all of that. I will NEVER use priceline again!!!

    Dear Enterprise Customer Service & EXTON Team, I am writing to formally complain about my recent rental experience, which involved an unaddressed vehicle issue and an unjustified late fee. Vehicle Condition at Pickup: I rented a vehicle through Priceline (with damage insurance also purchased through Priceline) and picked it up at your Enterprise location last Friday. At the time of pickup, I was informed that smoking was not permitted in the vehicle; however, the car had a strong smoke smell.

    I requested a vehicle change at that time, but was told this was not possible because the reservation had been booked through Priceline. If Enterprise does not permit vehicle changes for Priceline reservations, I do not believe Enterprise should accept such bookings in the first place. Since I urgently needed the car and had no alternative rental option available, I felt this policy was used to my disadvantage, and I was given a vehicle in poor condition -- the worst I have ever driven.

    Discomfort During Travel: The smoke smell caused significant discomfort for my family during our trip. On Saturday, July 25th, I contacted Enterprise customer support to report the issue. I was told that the local rental office would call me back to address it. I never received that callback. Late Return Due to Weather Delay: My scheduled return time was 5:00 PM on July 28th. Due to severe weather conditions in Philadelphia (heavy rain and flight delays), I was unable to return the vehicle on time. I returned the car at 8:45 PM and placed the keys in the drop box as instructed.

    Unjustified Late Fee: Subsequently, I received a call from an Enterprise representative (Eric), who stated that I was charged a late fee for returning the car two hours past the scheduled time. When I explained that I had already contacted customer support about the smoke smell issue and was awaiting a callback, I was told there was no record or note of my call in the system.

    Summary of Concerns: The vehicle had a smoke odor despite a no-smoking policy, and my request to change vehicles was denied due to the Priceline booking. My reported issue was never followed up on, despite being assured of a callback. I was charged a late fee despite the delay being caused by weather conditions beyond my control, and despite having attempted to resolve the underlying vehicle issue in advance.

    I would appreciate a review of this situation and a waiver of the late return charge, given the circumstances. I would also like to understand what steps Enterprise is taking to ensure vehicle quality checks and customer follow-up are properly handled for future rentals. Please let me know how this matter can be resolved. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I rented car from the same location 2 weeks ago for one weeks time with the same kind of booking they provided good car. With that same assumption I booked the car and they...

    I rented a car on July 2, 2026, at Dayton Ohio Airport. After my rental, I noticed an unexpected $48.00 collision waiver charge on my American Express bill. I contacted Priceline's customer service, and after they reviewed my case, they refunded the $48.00 charge. I appreciate that they took the time to resolve my concern and make things right. I contacted Priceline at 855-201-5621 and spoke with a supervisor, who reviewed my case and confirmed that I would receive a full refund under Priceline's refund policy. The booking process was easy, the rental went smoothly, and I'm happy with how the issue was handled in the end.

Priceline deducted the money from my checking account of which I have a record. However, I never received a follow up email. The night my GF showed up at the Bay Club, there was no record of the reservation. I had to make reservations for her at another hotel in SD which was over 100 dollars more than the Priceline cost.

    I’ve used Priceline for years, but yesterday was the last time. I selected a hotel in Carmel directly from Priceline’s map view — zoomed in, clicked the pin, and booked it. Only after the reservation was confirmed did it show the hotel was actually in Manteca, about 140 miles away. I called Priceline within an hour to cancel, but they refused and blamed me for “not paying attention.” I’ve attached an example showing how their map places hotels from completely different cities just a block apart, which is exactly how this mistake happened.

I spoke with them two separate times on the phone. As of July 23, nothing has happened and the flight was booked for round-trip August 5-16.

    Have used Priceline for hotels, but not flights. I haven’t had any issues with the hotels, but I should’ve looked at the reviews for the flight service. Their customer service is beyond horrible and if I could give zero stars I would. The flight was only $122 but it’s $122 I would like back. I will never use this company again.

    Never use Priceline .. We paid 1600 for package who was supposed to include flight hotel and car rental. The car rental charged us an additional 550, the hotel they use charged us 25 plus resort fee of 45 per day so that's 70 per day on top of priceline's 1600. Then rental car was small size with bald front shakey tires.... They said, "That's all we have. Take it or take nothing."

    The car rental (Next car rental) of st Petersburg fl .. also charges us 176 .00 for opting to use our own insurance. It was a nightmare in which my wife spent about 8-10 hrs on phones in the week during trip to no avail.... All phones are handled via philippine islands with no remedy ever .... We were transferred each day to another agent that never had any record of prior complaint to case.... Always claiming to escalate our case and issues.... Never ever till this day did we get a nickel back .... Overall the car rental and eXtra charges at hotel totaled $ 1,106.56 on top of 1600 we paid two weeks before departure of trip.... Of course our luggage was 129.00 at airport but there was no hidden charges.

    Don't ever even consider a bundle package by Priceline! There will be charges above and below the line which you are not informed of / surprise and undisclosed add on monies! You'll pay or be abandoned in a travel to city with your luggage out front of a rental car with no option other than taking that hit in you pocket.... It's totally unfair business and a scam that will ruin your trip ... Please beware.

    I have booked with Priceline before and was happy with the results. This time, the customer service was very poor. My father passed the night before, and my experience with TSA was a nightmare. Originally, the flight was booked for three: my daughter, my son, and myself. Unfortunately, my daughter could not meet the TSA requirements, even though I paid the $45 in advance for passengers without a government-issued ID. I contacted Priceline to cancel my daughter's flight due to unforeseen events in time according to the policy, but was told there was nothing they could do about it. This is heartbreaking because I really like Priceline. Needless to say, next time I will be booking with another agency due to the unforeseen rude customer service.

    Called customer support regarding an ongoing issue and spoke with Amy, who seemed willing to help with my issue but then hung up on me. When I called back and asked to speak with Amy again, the representative said "let me see if she's available" before hanging up. During subsequent calls, representatives claimed an employee named Amy did not work there, and eventually my number was blocked. When calling from another number to request a supervisor, I was repeatedly hung up on or placed on hold and disconnected. Finally, I reached a supervisor named Jimmy, who was extremely rude, condescending, and dismissive of my issue and the fact that I had been hung up on multiple times.
