The hotel room I was put in was very dirty and unsanitary. When I reported it to the front desk, they tried to give me a partial refund, but was unable to because I booked through Priceline. They gave me detailed information how to receive my funds back which I did. Priceline REFUSED to return any of my funds. I will NEVER book through them again, nor would I’d advise anyone else to, because your hands are tired if you have problems with the hotel AND they will refuse to honor the hotel's request. STAY AWAY FROM BOOKING through Priceline, they should be shut down!!

I booked a reservation through Priceline for a one way ticket to Denver. After I booked it I saw Priceline charged me $250 twice for two different reservations. Same flight. Same person. Something that is not even allowed by FAA. I called immediately only to be told they would cancel it and release my money within 24 hours then it’s up to American Airlines and my bank to put back on my account. Could be 3-5 business days. I explained my travel situation and that I should not be punished because Priceline took my money without my permission. Please put my money back on as fast as you took it. No help. No number for corporate. I was given no compensation other than being told, "I’m sorry you had to go through this and I understand how frustrating this is." The fact is the whole customer service experience is frustrating and a waste of time.

I signed up to be a VIP member, received a 10% discount code and was given the price guarantee. I booked my car, have checked back a few times and found the EXACT car, dates and times for much cheaper. They will not honor their price guarantee and just keep telling me it is not available for cheaper when I can clearly see it with my own eyes online and on the app. They just keep repeating the same sentence like they are trained to lie directly to you. The price guarantee states an Express deal receives 200% of the difference. I'm not even asking for that! I just want the better price, which at this point is close to a $50 difference for 3 days. I will never use them after this again. FALSE ADVERTISING!!

We hired a car via Priceline. We needed help to change the driver. Priceline pointed towards Sixt (at where the car was booked) and Sixt pointed towards Priceline. Priceline provided no help. When we then asked if the car could be canceled, Priceline did still just point towards Sixt (and then Sixt at Priceline). We did end up not getting the car that we booked, but Priceline does not even offer a way to contact them as their phone will point toward Sixt and the chat as well. We have not been refunded and do not even see how to claim a refund to Priceline and we did not get the rental car that we booked. You only get a contact to a chatbot and it is impossible to get any help. A total scam and fully recommend avoiding Priceline.

After I cancelled my flight in less than 24 hrs I never received my refund and it’s been over 3 months. All they keep making is false promises and telling me to wait because the refund is being processed. They have very mediocre system for a big company. Never using Priceline again. If you want to give away your money for free this is a perfect company to start.

I made a reservation for a hotel in New York and in less than five minutes of making the reservation, I realized that I made a mistake and booked the hotel of the same name but on the wrong street. I admit that this was my mistake but what I do not understand is what happened less than five minutes after booking the room. I was told that there was nothing that could be done. They allegedly tried calling the hotel but couldn’t get a response. I do not understand how there is not any grace period for simple errors. Very frustrating. While I admit I made a mistake, the inflexibility is mind-blowing.

First of all I would like to start off same mess I’ve been with Priceline for a very long time. I booked a lot of rooms and trips and never had a problem until currently. My birth is this year. I decided to go to South Padre. I selected the express deal which gave me the option for two hotels which was the La Quinta and Holiday Inn express. Your system generated another booking for some place called the Blue Bay Inn. When I tell you it was horrific this place is unlivable. It should be tore down. The elevator smelt like urine. Someone had Peed on the bed and they didn’t even change the sheets. It was beer bottles all over. It was infested with roaches. It looked like something you would see in a very bad area.
I spoke with Priceline. They said that they would cancel it and refund my money but that never happened. I do not like to deal with people that do not honor their word. I did not stay there. I had to check into another hotel and spent an additional $600. I will not advise ever booking with them because they’re very dishonest and the things that they show sometimes is not what it is. I know people have experiences that they go through and you learn from it but this it will be unforgettable.

I filed a complaint with the BBB on this. I was charged $247 per person just to re-book a flight 1 day earlier because the US MILITARY changing our sons boot camp graduation date. This is not supportive of US MILITARY families and an unethical business practice. We contacted American Airlines who said we should have called them and they would have gladly "without any fees" changed our flight. PRICELINE needs to do right by people. This was dirty, unfair, and on the verge of illegal.

I booked and paid for my trip through Priceline on 2/13/22. I received my confirmation for my booking on 2/13/22 from Priceline. The night before we flew out for our trip (7/23/22) I received an email from priceline/Booking.com that said I needed to contact the hotel regarding my reservations because my reservation is not confirmed. I contacted the hotel and the hotel told me that my reservations were made with the hotel but no funds were sent to the hotel for my reservations. Being that this was the night before we flew out, I had to pay for my hotel stay to secure our stay. So I have now paid for the hotel room twice. I had no problems at all with our plane tickets.
I have contacted Priceline, they tell me I have to contact booking.com because this is their sister company and booking.com handles reservations. I then contact booking.com and they tell me I have to contact Priceline. I have talked to Priceline 5 times and have contacted booking.com 5 times. I have sent in proof to booking.com to prove that I had to pay for my hotel reservations. Booking.com has rejected my claim. No one can tell me where the money is that I originally paid for my trip on 2/13/22. Basically I am out my money. I will NEVER use Priceline or Booking.com to book a trip again.

Updated on 07/29/2022: UPDATE - The supervisor called after but he was of no help. He wanted me to call and deal directly with the 3rd party services (Car rental and Insurance). I shall never use Priceline for future services and will avoid renting from the car rental "Routes International".
Original Review: I used Priceline to rent a car at Pearson Airport. I prepaid full rental cost and full insurance. I received a confirmation email for my rental stating that my rental is confirmed with unlimited mileage and other requirements. Then, I received a text message from the car rental (Routes International) asking for $1500 deposit and stating that my mileage is limited to 200 KM a day!
I called Priceline asking for explanation and after I was bounced between 3 levels of "supervisors" I was told my reservation cannot be canceled and I had to deal with the rental company directly. I explained to Priceline folks that I paid 100% for rental and insurance and I am NOT receiving a 100% service of what I was sold (promised) and I asked to cancel my reservation. Priceline refused. I asked to speak to the "supervisor" of the last supervisor I was talking to and I was told they cannot transfer the call but promised that I will get a call back from this higher supervisor. Never received a call. I shall never use Priceline for future services and will avoid renting from the car rental "Routes International".

I booked a hotel & flight package with Priceline but the hotel was not as pictured on the website. The hotel was rundown, dirty and smelled of weed. There were cigarette buds everywhere, graffiti on the walls and as though the hotel hadn’t been cleaned since it was built. It was the epitome of squalor. I have no idea how ‘The Link Hotel’ couldn’t even be considered a hotel. It looked like it was apart of Gotham or where murders happens. I explained to the hotel front desk clerk that I would like a refund and she said that I would have to contact Priceline.
After a 30 minute battle with the Priceline attendant they finally agreed to call The Link ‘hotel’ where they both agreed to give me a refund and I would be refunded with a few days. It has been over 5 working days and I am yet to receive the refund. I recently contacted Priceline once again where they said they would still have to ‘reconfirm’ my refund that was already agreed upon even after I gave them screenshots as evidence that the refund was agreed upon. This is the WORST experience I’ve ever had. Do NOT book a trip with Priceline. They are a scam and liars along with their ‘hotel partner’ which should be closed down.

If you have ANY issue with your hotel, your hotel won’t do anything about it and will refer to Priceline. And Priceline won’t do anything for you because they already have your money. My hotel (expensive hotel- Radisson) was rude, had no plumbing in my room, it was dirty, and the pool was unable to be used due to an incident. I wanted to cancel and just leave and drive overnight and I couldn’t cancel and they “had no other rooms”. I called the hotel after Priceline insisted they couldn’t reach them and then Priceline said “nothing was approved by the hotel”. So nothing was done. It was a waste of time and money. I’d rather of paid the additional $5 and booked directly through the hotel and then I could have at least been refunded and leave. Horrible experience.

I rented a car at Hertz Rochester International Airport through Priceline.com. I paid that rent in full with a credit card. One of the persons in our travel party got sick and we were not able to be there the first day of the rental period, July 8. The rental period was from the 8 to the 18 of July. Before the first day of the renting period I called Hertz at Rochester and the attendant told me they will provide me a car when I get there at the middle of the renting period (July 13). However, no car was available for us from Hertz when we arrived at Rochester. I contacted Priceline but they did nothing to solve our problem or reimburse what we paid even when we did no change to our schedule but arriving days later. Therefore we were forced to rent another car.

We booked a hotel room through Priceline and paid in advance. We flew into Charleston and got to the hotel with our luggage at 11 pm. They were fully booked. They said Priceline booked our room after the hotel alerted them that there were no more rooms available. We called Priceline in a panic. Back and forth for a hour. It's now 12 midnight. They said they could not help us except for giving us a refund. We said we had nowhere to sleep in a foreign place and could they please help us. They said they could do nothing except for give us a refund.
We finally asked to speak to a supervisor, and the woman on the phone said she'd have to take our phone number and have a supervisor call us back. It's now 1:30 in the morning and we just received a call from the supervisor who insisted there is nothing she could do except for give us a refund. PERIOD. She did not care that we had nowhere to sleep at 1:30 in the morning. She said we had to start calling hotels ourselves to try to book a room. I have never felt more unsafe in my entire life. It is disgusting how they handled this situation.

DO NOT apply for their credit card when you book!!! The information is deceiving. I spent three days trying to resolve an issue over the card: I asked on the same day for them to cancel the card immediately - they didn't. I asked on the second day again - they didn't (They violated my 3 days right to cancel!) Also, do not book with them!! I accidentally under-booked my schedule by I day, and needed it changed. They would not so much as even accommodate me in any way what-so-ever.
I must have spoken to at least 8 different employees including supervisors, managers, and the credit card company - ONLY to be bounced around!! They lie to you passing you back and forth - I spent over 6 hours in 3 days and nothing was remedied. Wasting my time and becoming highly frustrated. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME! Find a decent agency and book with them instead. SAVE YOURSELF A HASSLE! (Disclaimer: The agents claim they are connecting you to a higher authority, but they just send you to another department. Plus, they refuse to give you a corporate number.)

I booked round trip flights through Priceline with Alaska Airlines. My confirmation email from Priceline had all the correct details. However, when I checked into the flight, my boarding pass showed a typo in my name. I tried to call Priceline customer support but was not able to speak to a representative because the wait time was over 3 hours. So I called the Alaska Airlines customer support and they were able to fix the spelling error for a fee of $75. When I was finally able to reach Priceline customer support, they said that this was a common programmatic error that they could have fixed for free but since I chose to call the airline, there was nothing they could do. I ended up paying a lot more for airfare because of Priceline. I will never book through Priceline again.

Priceline is a scam! Its customer service is the worst one in this country! I booked a Hotel Red Roof Inn at Buffalo NY/I-90 with Priceline. The hotel seemed good in the Priceline review, however, it's the worst hotel I have ever seen. All rooms are broken to some extent, they could not give us a good room so we could stay, it's totally at Hotel's fault and they agreed to refund the total amount, and they did it as well. Now, here's coming Priceline's so-called excellent customer service, they verified 7 times that the hotel already refunded the whole amount to Priceline, however, Priceline hung me up 15-20 days to get the refund! Still, no refund was received! Every time I call Priceline, it spends 40-50 minutes following all bureaucratic procedures with no ultimate resolution. Their system is faulty, gauging customer money without any service.

I picked up the car I rented through Priceline and within 24 hours it broke down and needed to be towed. I have had to do ALL the calling, forcing a case number and doing up all the follow up. They tell me that they can't send me any emails, but that they have to wait for an email back from the car rental before they can give me a refund. PLUS they want to only give a partial refund due to having the car overnight. No mind to the fact that I was stranded waiting for a tow. They don't call back, you have to go through the game of pushing numbers and then being transferred around until the call drops. I will give it a rest for today and start back up tomorrow.

We travel all of the time and just got back from a trip to Wisconsin to visit our grandkids. We booked on Priceline for a 3 night stay in La Crosse and 1 night in Minneapolis. We booked and paid ahead of time for the better rate. On checking out of the hotel we were charged again for the 3 nights. This would have been $84 cheaper booking direct. I contacted Priceline I was told by a supervisor, that the additional charge they passed on to me was a better rate from the hotel for priceline only and their commission. That is untrue as I called the hotel and they confirmed we could have gotten it for that rate. All I wanted was the $84 refund we overpaid. I was told they would not refund me the difference. I will never use Priceline again. Just be aware of how they are ripping people off.

I find that on Priceline, they give you a price for a hotel. Then, when you go to book, taxes and fees are added in. Absolutely nothing wrong with that. Problem is the initial price that Priceline gives you is quite low compared to what the price will be with taxes and "fees". You need to burrow down within the program to see what you'll actually pay. Then, when you do burrow down, Priceline frequently either (1) does not tell you what the "fees" are for - that is, Priceline will just give you one clump amount for taxes and fees, and not inform you what the "fees" are for, and why the clumped amount is SO high; or (2) lists out what the taxes you'll pay are, but those taxes CLEARLY do not match up with what the actual taxes are in the municipality you are staying in are - in other words Priceline APPEARS to be adding in significant amounts to what the ACTUAL taxes are. I once wrote to Priceline asking them about this. Not surprisingly, I received no response.
So the above all has the smell of a scam to me, and after having used Priceline for a long time, I no longer use it.

Driving to a funeral tomorrow morning, so I booked a car at the nearest international airport (PHF) via Priceline 2 days ago. They assigned me to Hertz (Priceline picked, for the price they quoted) for a pickup at 6 pm, since I figured I certainly wasn't going to need it earlier, and I didn't want to have to wait for them to wait for a customer making a late return. Pickup was at an airport that had flights coming in until at least midnight, so I wasn't too worried, although I should have been. No indication was made in any of the emails or "click here for additional details" pages that Hertz closed earlier than all of the rest of the car rental agencies in that airport.
I arrived at 8:02 pm to pick up the car, and, although all of the other rental agencies in the airport had customers waiting in line to rent cars. The Hertz desk was empty. They put up a sign to say they were closed at 8 pm. A Hertz representative actually came over, but they were off the clock, and were only picking up their personal items. They did tell me I could come back at 9 am the next morning, but the funeral started at 10 am, and it was 1.5 hours away from the airport, so that wasn't a good option for me.
They said if I booked through Priceline, I would need to call Priceline, because Hertz doesn't get ANY money if the customer doesn't pick up the car, and they wished me luck, and hoped maybe Priceline would move my reservation to one of the other rental agencies at the airport, since they were all still renting out cars, except for Hertz.
I called Priceline, and their automated system recognized my phone number and my reservation, and immediately told me that if I had any issues, I would need to contact their "service partner" and automatically transferred me, without any opportunity to talk to a person (yes, I also tried their text line, which was also automated.) The number they transferred me to, of course, was Hertz. The Hertz customer service representative was very nice and attempted to find any Hertz location in 50 miles that was still open, but none were.
I went back and attempted everything I could to get a Priceline customer service person, without any success. They absolutely pass you off to Hertz. When I went through the "modify my reservation" after logging in, they took me right to the lines that say my reservation was non-refundable, could not be modified or changed, and would be charged regardless of whether or not I picked up the car. It's interesting that they benefit with the full price of the reservation if you can't pick it up, and that they didn't make any note of the closing time of that particular rental agency, compared to the rest at the airport.
Priceline used to be my go-to for booking rental cars, but this was the worst customer service, and an outright ripoff. I wouldn't have minded at all if they could have switched me to one of the other agencies right there, and if there had been a surcharge if they couldn't meet the original price, but taking 100% of my money and keeping it for themselves while foisting their customer care off on a company that is literally making NO money from the deal (leaving them no good way to negotiate) is ridiculous. A situation like this can't be that uncommon, and it is set up to disproportionately benefit Priceline, who keeps all of the money for themselves.

I had booked a car rental through Priceline and in the original booking, I was only charged the amount of the purchased insurance, and the remainder of the two days was to be paid to Ace Car Rental, upon pick-up.

They stated they could not edit it, but could cancel it and rebook the reservation to the later time. They did not inform me that the reservation type had changed, but they charged the full amount just after our call ended.
Due to further delay, I was unable to get the car until the next day, only using it for one day. When I contacted Priceline, I was told that they would not be refunding the day I was not able to use. Had it been rebooked like the original reservation, Ace could have refunded the unused day, but because they took advantage of my situation, I was not refunded the money. DO NOT USE PRICELINE.

I want to be clear that the customer service guy was nice to work with, but I am super upset with Priceline's policies towards customer service. I have been trying to change a flight for the last two days. Have spent a total of about 6 and a half hours on the phone, been hung up on twice, and finally when I found a flight that Priceline would let me book, it was cheaper than my original fare, which is great right? No...They originally told me that they couldn't refund me the difference in between my flights but they would wave the $75 flight change fee to try to offset it (said it was policy).
I didn't understand why they couldn't refund me the difference because they make it clear that we have to pay the difference if the new flight costs more...but went with it. Then, after keeping me on hold for 25 minutes, they told me that "their system" won't let me book the new flight unless they collect the $75 change fee per ticket... I was frustrated, but it clearly didn't seem like it was the guys' fault...felt bad for him. Regardless, Priceline is clearly not trying to serve their customers well, but make sure they keep their margins high which is upsetting and not good business.

I reserved a flight with this agency. The flight has been cancelled by the airline (Air Transat) and they asked me to call the agency to have a refund. I've called them at least 10 times. And so far nothing. Don't lose your money. Avoid this agency and reserve your flight directly by the airline.

Priceline advertise a great price for a Days Inn hotel showing free wifi. But on receiving my itinerary after paying, it said that wifi was available in public areas. I don't want to have to work in the lobby. The hotel refused to cancel and Priceline sided with them over the customer who was gypped. I just wanted a quiet place to work. How I either have to stay with people I don't trust or go somewhere else to do my work.

Prices are low, but when have an issue, you spend hours trying to resolve it with no luck. I spent countless hours trying to reschedule a return flight. I spoke with multiple people and often they would say they could reschedule and then hang up on me in the process of changing it. Other times, I was told it would cost an additional $900 when the entire round trip was far less than that. I was also told I needed to contact the airline directly. The airline told me they cannot change third party travel. I was finally told to wait until I took my departing flight and to then call and cancel my return flight. I did this and received an email showing I would have a future flight credit. When I called to use the flight credit, I once again spoke with several people and received several different answers. First, I was told I could apply the credit but was hung up on in the process of it being applied.
Next, I was told the credit didn't exist. Then I was told the credit was suspended and I needed to call the airline. I called the airline who said it shows up in their system that I didn't show up for the flight. I explained the situation and they told me Priceline is responsible for fixing the situation but they will try to avoid fixing it because its money lost for them and their employees get in trouble when the company loses money. They told me they are capable of doing much more than they say so they use tactics to avoid doing it such as hanging up on you, placing you on hold for hours, etc. He suggested I call and say I want to speak with a Sales Rep or Supervisor and that's the only way I will get anywhere.
I did this and the agent said "they will just tell you the same thing as I am." I said I still want to talk to them and she reluctantly said okay, "but there's no guarantee they will help." I was on hold with a supervisor for about 20 minutes. She eventually told me that when I called to cancel my flight, the agent "forgot" to cancel it with the airline. Therefore, it was showing as a no show and that the credit didn't exist (even though I have a Priceline email showing the credit per passenger). I was then told they would contact American Airlines and put on hold for another 10 minutes. Then I was told they needed their IT department to correct the suspension in their system but that department is closed and to call back during their business hours. This is still not resolved even after days of trying! I will never use Priceline again, no matter how good the price is!

Never buy a ticket on Priceline if it is important that you get home. I was on a European trip when Lufthansa cancelled the first leg of my return trip five days before I was due to leave. Because I had bought the ticket via Priceline I had to work with them to rebook. However, Priceline was so incredibly incompetent that, even though there were flights from Zagreb-Seattle (my route) on the day I was due to fly with seats available, they could not get Lufthansa, who was legally required to rebook me, to agree to a single rebooking request with 30 days. So Priceline cancelled my ticket and I had to buy a new ticket out of pocket at a premium price (last minute in a busy travel season).
To add insult to injury, I only got a refund for 2/3s of what I originally paid for the ticket (it was a round trip, and the way they calculated the refund, I got less than half the amount I paid even though the return ticket was the more expensive route). Not only did I have to rebook at my own expense, but I had to spend over 4 hours on the phone in a foreign country to even get to the point where I was told they would not rebook me. So simple advice - if you actually need to get where you are going (or need to get home) DO NOT BUY A TICKET FROM PRICELINE.

I finally have a chance to write this review. I will never booked through Priceline again for bundle package or any of my trip for the future. My flight and car rental was fine but the hotel canceled on me without any prior notice when I got to the place at midnight which I had to get up in 6 hrs for my conference that morning. The lady at the desk said, "You are the 4th person, we got overbooked and we don't have the room you requested". It's midnight and no one called or emailed me about cancelation way before. I was on the phone with Priceline, then they transferred me to Booking.com (not sure why) for hours, she was searching any available place for me. The places that she found for me is further away from where the conference was so I declined.
Over an hour and half into it, they still have not found a place so I started driving to Riverwalk area to see if there is any other places which had any open rooms, I stopped by 2 places and they had none, then the girl on the phone said, there is a Homewood Hilton Suites but "the cost is too high and I need to get approved by my supervisor" so she put me on hold again, I finally got to Homewood Suites and asked the front desk if they have available room and how much, they said "Yes, we have rooms" so I was like, "I am done driving around and asking for any open rooms" then Booking.com said "it is expensive and my supervisor said they will have to find a place closer to where I was originally placed at Extended Stay."
I said, "This is not ok as it's almost 2am and I have to get up in a few hours". She said, "You can send the bill statements to us and we may be able to reimburse for that stay". Yes, after I returned from my trip, I emailed my hotel statement and no one called me or contacted back, when I called 1-2 weeks later, they were going to reimburse me $50 for my $1000 hotel cost, I said, "Are you joking". If I would have known about the hotel cancelation, I would have found a different place ahead of time without costing me this much and they put me in a difficult position where I had no time to look for a place in a last second.
The most horrible service and I will NEVER EVER BOOKED with Booking.com or Priceline ever again. Extended stay sucked as they are the one let the priceline and booking.com down. Right after I booked the trip, Extended stay messaged me about when I would be checking in and I said around midnight due to the flight landing time and car rental, that was it. Nothing else from them for canceling my room. While I was in the lobby, there was a family came in and the room that they got given, already had people in there, "TV was playing, the latch was on" so they decided to go without getting another room there. That place sucked. NEVER AGAIN.

My dear uncle passed in Canada. I was searching for flights and hotels to go for the funeral and memorial services. As I had many windows open, I clicked reservation by mistake on Priceline for a hotel. I immediately called and told them this was a mistake and I would like to cancel. But, after talking to a few people, they told me that they cannot cancel per their policy. I told them that I do understand the policy; but, in this case, I called them literally the second I clicked reserve on the website - so, this was clearly a mistake. But, they said there is nothing they can do about it. I have had similar situations in the past with hotels and other companies and in ALL cases I was accommodated. I will NEVER use Priceline or recommend anyone to use it. Much better to reserve directly through the hotel. At best, Priceline is only good to provide a comparison between different hotel prices.

However, when I chose my deal and booked the hotel, the dates of the trip defaulted to the current date. After numerous hours on the phone with Priceline, they refuse to assist me in a productive manner and refused to take responsibility for their software glitch. When you call or chat with customer service they are unable to make any changes to the dates of the hotel stay and only give you an option to cancel. Then the hotel can then refuse to cancel and you are just out your money. Even if you purchase travel insurance which is basically useless.
This company is horrible and I would advise anyone to not use a third party booking site, especially Priceline. Save yourself a lot of money and headaches by just book directly with your hotel.

I asked how is that possible, how can Priceline charge 170 in taxes and fees versus Expedia charging under 90. Again I was given lame excuses, and then they claimed that they don't give military discount, that they are already giving the lowest price! which is very misleading and disrespectful towards those who have served their country!

I booked a travel package (airfare, hotel, ground transportation) for my 20th wedding anniversary. Priceline quoted me a package price for all three pieces and I booked it. We've come to the point where we are a few weeks before traveling and I was double checking the booking. I chatted with Priceline via their app to check everything. At that time they confirmed my booking was complete for air, hotel, and ground transportation. They also said I could call the ground transportation company to confirm the pickup at the airport. I called Mozio, and they could not find my information.
I contacted Priceline again, this time by text chat, and was told the same thing, call Mozio. Then I called the Priceline agent to actually speak with them. After a very LONG time of being repeatedly on hold, the agent said that a supervisor would contact me via email within 3 to 5 days. Five days later I had not been contacted, so I called back in again. This new agent said that they didn't see anything logged for resolutions from a supervisor yet, but that the five days was not up until end of business that day, so I may yet get something in my email. I was told to call back again if nothing showed.
Two days later, no email came, so I called in AGAIN. After a very long (~60 min) run around I finally was able to talk to a supervisor. I explained AGAIN (as I have for every single agent I spoke with) what happened. I told her that ground transportation was part of the package I booked and paid for, and that I wanted them to send the booking to Mozio so that I didn't have to pay the fee a second time. After a while she told me that I was never charged for ground transportation, and that she was "sorry, but there was nothing she could do".
In the end, she provided me no help, and no resolution. I find it HIGHLY suspicious that none of the other reps told me I hadn't been charged (when I stated it multiple times with each agent), and that it came up days later when I said that I felt like Priceline had stolen my money. This was a package I confirmed on their site then paid for. Then they altered the package AFTER I had paid for it WITHOUT ANY NOTIFICATION THAT THE PACKAGE HAD CHANGED!

I bought from Priceline and it was also non-cancelable, non refundable car rental for 3 days. When try to get the car they couldn't charge my credit card for incidentals so they did not give me the car. I was there for an hour talking to my credit card company nothing wrong with my card. Priceline said to me even if I couldn't get the car they still can charge me. So stay away from this company. It is all about money to them. They don't care what happens after they get your money.

I have booked flight tickets and then tested positive so had to cancel my booking. They refunded my booking amount and gave me a year of time to use the credit. But when I tried to book another flight using that credit that never happened- they dropped call, never return call, and then said I will be charged $100 to reuse the credit, whereas in the email it said clearly there will be no charge, I will just have to pay the difference. I tried calling them 3 times, every time I have hold for hours and hours and no luck. THEY SUCK!

My Priceline experience was terrible. Our plans changed and I wasn't allowed to cancel, I asked to speak with a manager and the rep said I would have to wait 17 minutes. I asked to be called back instead of holding and they said they couldn't do that...even though the rep called me back herself. The rep had noises in the background and it sounded like someone talking in her ear. I don't usually place poor reviews online, but I am compelled to do this when a company's policies and service is so poor. I will never use Priceline again.

On fourth of July I spent the night in my car because the hotel I had booked decided to have some surprise fees that I am unwilling to pay. I immediately called Priceline and their robotic customer service was not helpful in the least, never calling me back or coming to any resolution to the matter as I waited without a place to stay. In fact, their customer support team with their rudimentary English were trying everything they could to take the Hotels side. By the way it was written, this fee was completely unexpected and a scam. Meanwhile the hotel has my money and are not refunding it. That's ok, VISA has been contacted and and I've issued a charge back for the first time ever in 20 years.

We were a family of 11, including three infants, who booked an overnight stay in the Airport Hilton hotel at Rome airport through Priceline before our flight home the next morning. Our flight from Sicily was delayed and we arrived late in the evening at the hotel, with an injured senior and a sick baby. We were obviously anxious to get into the four rooms we had booked through Priceline (with whom we had confirmed the day before). When we got to the counter, we were told we had no reservations and should step aside. We were totally shocked. After two hours of back-and -forth with Priceline (who kept assuring us we did have a reservation) and the hotel (who kept assuring us we did not), most of our party was shipped off to another hotel and our injured senior was put up in an accessible room at the Hilton (all at our expense).
By the time it was resolved, it was approaching midnight. Nobody had eaten for hours and the three infants were asleep on laps and the floor. It is hard to describe the chaos and stress involved in those two hours in a crowded lobby, with crying babies and a suffering senior. It was a complete nightmare. In the end, it appears that the third-party booking service that Priceline uses had screwed up. Oh, sorry. Priceline offered a weak apology and refunded our original purchase (for rooms that were never actually reserved) and added 20%. This did not even cover the cost of the rooms we had to accept that night (which did not have the cribs and cots we had arranged through Priceline), never mind all the stress and inconvenience. The bottom line here is that Priceline simply does not care about its customers - at all. We will never, ever use Priceline again and I would encourage you to do the same.

However, when I would choose a flight and the return, when I would get to the screen to fill in passenger information, it would claim the flight was sold out and take me back to flights where the same exact flight was still listed.
Today, I tried EVERY flight on the page and receive the SAME result. When I look at the airlines reservation pages, these flights are still available. Since I have not booked a flight, I don't have a confirmation number to get through their robot answering system to a REAL person. This is different from the Priceline I used to love.

But before then the lady swore up and down there was no money taken from my card and I told her that it was money taken from card. At this point I am upset and asked for a manager or someone else.

They would then disconnect me and I would have to start the process all over. The following day I reached out again and had the agent actually stay with me the entire time, and was faster to look into my account, but upon doing so told me that they would not change the return time and rather needed to speak with the car rental company on the day of my travel to see if it was possible.
I do not understand why something so simple (a few hour change) that is being made weeks in advance can not be changed. I will not be doing business again with Priceline.

Two weeks in a row I have rented a car through Priceline and Dollar and waited 4 hours for a car. They rent what they don’t have. Stay away you get what you pay for here. Low prices here means no service and Dollar doesn’t care.

I found a “deal” yesterday and wanted to use my credit I had on Priceline due to travel plan changes. I found the trip I wanted to book, and screen shot the price at 12:53 pm. I called Priceline to book it because apparently if you have a credit, they have to book it, and it took almost two hours to book!! Completely unacceptable! Two hours! The agent, Carlos, was less than understanding. He kept putting me on a “brief” hold as he called it. Brief to him was 15 mins. Then he went to run my credit card and came back an miraculously the rate had gone up $30/ticket. Costing me even more money. He didn’t care whatsoever. Just kept saying, “so miss want me to book it.” Look elsewhere to book!!! It’s not worth it! They nickel and dime you! The customer service is the worst too!! Oh and there was a misprint in my husband's name, so I asked him to correct it. It took 24 minutes for that to happen!

We booked for 2 nights, June 11 and 12 and paid upfront. We stayed at the Clarion Hotel in Leesburg, Va.. The place was dirty, hall needed vacuuming, the bedding was dirty with hair and stains etc., but the bathroom was filthy, especially the floor and scratched up walls (needed paint). There was also a 50+ person party adjacent to our room that rocked loudly until well after 12am! Very poor sleeping conditions. We canceled the 2nd night and were told they'd refund the 2nd night. We have gotten the run around from all parties from the hotel front deck, GM and their referral to AGODA (Priceline's partner). Even though they partner with AGODA, the hotel could not/would not provide AGODA'S number?
After 45 min. w/ the AGODA rep, I was put on hold for 3- 5 to fix a Pc issue, THREE DIFFERENT TIMES. Each time the customer service rep was surprised that I was still on the line- awaiting my $160 refund. Finally he stated that he couldn't help but gave me an 877# to get my refund. He would not tell me who I was calling! I called anyway, since I had no other option at that point! Are you ready for this? The number I was given was ADT, the home security company. NO REFUND FROM ADT. Very bad customer service, at all levels. Seems Priceline just DOES NOT CARE! Why is this attitude a secret and not common knowledge, especially with all the terrible reviews. Why not a class action suit? I'm sure the MANY CHEATED Priceline customers would gladly join in!

I booked a car rental through Priceline because it was more affordable, than through Hertz, there was more fees and taxes. When I arrived to pick up my vehicle, Hertz rep. told me I had no insurance and I had to get one. I ended up getting insurance through Hertz which was way more expensive. The filling day I called Priceline they told me they would file a claim and it would take 10 business days. 10 days later they declined my claim. Called the filling day to speak to a representative that did not want to help at all and transferred me to a supervisor. After speaking with the supervisor she told me I had to call Priceline insurance carrier myself to see if I could get refund.
I asked why would I need to call someone that it’s their carrier and I booked it through Priceline. I only need to speak to Priceline. Priceline is responsible for these charges, not their carrier. I explained to the supervisor that I have rental coverage through my personal insurance but I didn’t want to use it. I didn’t want headaches, if something was to happen let you guys deal with it, that’s why I got it in the first place. Very frustrating experience and not happy at all with this company, not going to be using this company in the future if they can’t back up their contracts we signed for. I thank god nothing happened with the vehicle or else this would of turned into a huge headache.

Wish I could give a zero to the ratings! This third-party company is a total scam guys! Had me charged twice for my reservation for two nights and the second charge was way above the amount they charged me the first time. I tried reach out their customer service, talked to several people and sent all the proofs they needed but none of could help me with my refund. They were keep making excuses about the hotel manager but when I tried to contact them, the hotel manager got disappeared and the other employees told me to contact the Priceline customer service instead.
So basically I ended up in a loop with no help getting my refund. Also, found out the Booking.com and the Priceline are working as sisters company. So, when you have an issue with Priceline you only get to reach out the assistance that works for Booking.com. We had a travel hotel booking with this Priceline in Niagara Falls USA side and Niagara falls Ontario Canada side. Every time Priceline charge me twice. I’ve got charged over and over times but had no help. I highly DO NOT recommend these both websites at all. They both should be banned!!

People PLEASE do not book anything through this company! They are so shady. I booked a hotel reso which I needed to cancel and they are refusing my refund despite having forwarded multiple emails from the Hotel itself confirming that they cancelled my reso and were issuing a full refund to the third party company (aka Priceline). They're stating they can't verify with the property the waiver of fees etc. so are refusing the refund. I've sent through so many emails directly from the hotel verifying it so they're just lying to try to keep my money. They don't even try to work with you they just say nope.
To make it worse, I've now called my bank to submit a dispute of the charge and when I told the woman on the phone the situation she said wow I had a similar experience a few years ago with a company called.. PRICELINE!!! They've been running this scam for years apparently. Please try to book directly through the hotel or with Expedia because this Company is just trying to steal from people.

Living in the ATL, and needing to rent a car, I decided to use Priceline for the first time ever. Rental car was confirmed thru a company called 'Routes'. So don't use Routes Rental car nor Priceline is my recommendation. Routes refused to rent me a car since I live in the ATL once I arrived at their counter. Then I see they charged a cancelation fee, equivalent to a day's rental on my card, which was not swiped at all. Priceline refuses to stand behind me, and dispute or advocate on my behalf. I have never heard of Routes, therefore I would have never in this lifetime, nor the next lifetime used them, but for Priceline web services. Don't Use Priceline....It's a scam...just like Routes Rent A Car.

I got "jobbed" from Priceline. Had a booking, and tried to cancel due to being positive with Covid. I could not cancel via hotel as Priceline booked it. Tried to cancel via Priceline customer service with the 24 hour policy. Stated they could not get ahold of hotel. Gave me an incident #. Never heard back from them until I started calling them. Priceline did not follow through or help me cancel room. I lost my money. The bottom line, if you have a hotel booked via Priceline, you probably can't cancel it even though it says you can.

When booking our trip to Las Vegas with Priceline it asked if we would like to pay the Hotel Resort Fees with our trip or when we got to the hotel. We decided to pay it right away and get it out of the way of $240 but when we got to the hotel, we had to pay another $356 in Hotel Resort Fees. That was our first time using Priceline and we have never had this happen with Expedia so I would never use them again. That was almost $600 in hotel fees for 3 nights. That's ridiculous. I could've went somewhere tropical on a beach for what I ended up paying.

The app has a really dishonest business model. They take advantage of the anonymity to sell terrible no refundable experiences. We realized comparing our reservation with other offers that they hide the scores and the comments when the place is not well reviewed. Also, they do not keep the hotel photos up to date which, in our case, was very misleading.
We have made a reservation of a hotel classified as 3 stars. After Priceline provided us the name, we saw on Google Reviews that the hotel is actually between 1 and 2 stars. A decaying place that was only good back in the day. The past score made the average close to 3. A place with cockroaches infestation, black mold, electrical problems, thieves records, with a 3-star score.
The app sold us a 3-star experience with no refunds, and it didn't deliver what it was supposed to. So, I naturally tried to contact customer service. The answer was that they could no refund me, that I needed to contact the hotel to solve my issues. Of course the hotel will not give my money back, it is a decaying place with lots of debts. I am not angry with the hotel, because at least I know what to expect when I enter the reception. I am, however, angry with the platform that makes lots of money tricking their customers. To a better experience, go for Booking, AirBnb, or any other service where you actually can get what you're paying for.

Updated on 08/02/2022: I booked a two night stay through Priceline, for a stay at a hotel in Toronto, and I booked this from another city in Canada. I found a decent, not great deal, but good enough. When I checked my credit card statement, they had billed me $170 more than they had advertised, which worked out very close to the conversion from USD to CDN dollars. At first they called it a security deposit, but that turned out to be false, then I got the run around for weeks, with no result. In particular, they asked for the same documents from me, four times. They try to wear you out. I would avoid this company at all costs.
Original Review: This has been an ordeal at the very least. I booked a Canadian hotel, from a Canadian city to another Canadian city, assuming the price was in Canadian dollars. Not until I looked at my credit card statement, did I realize that I had been charged in USD. Talk to the site, for the first time, and they tell me it's really a security deposit. They've already taken my money, so I'm not sure why it's for a security deposit, and it isn't the actual difference. Then I see they've billed me for the reservation again, and then a credit.
The credit mysteriously disappears and now I'm on the phone with my credit card company, tracking down the credit. I've dealt with three different CSRs, with no clear result, having to wait until I've finished the trip, to recoup any money. And if it doesn't happen, I'll have to go through this again. This has been a colossal waste of my time and energy.

Made a reservation for my Hawaii trip last month. I’ve never had a bad experience with Priceline before so I never questioned their choices when it comes to their lowest rate finds. Since my trip is in three days just wanted to make sure my car rental was at the terminal, come to find out it wasn’t (I was irritated since I chose airport location). I read the horrid reviews and unsafe protocols that recently happened to someone who rented a car 19hrs ago.
The company had 1.5 star and were charging fraudulent charges after returning the car. Some people said the car was more than five years old, unsanitary, engine light on and just unsafe vehicles. So I called and voiced my concern since it wasn't on the terminal and I had 2 minors with me. On top of that, I questioned their decision to work with terrible car companies that can put people's life at risk. Credit info can be compromised. I thought my concerns were enough to get a refund therefore I can make and rebook my car rental with a more credible company. They flat out said I agreed and reserve my car rental through them and will not receive a refund. If cancelled everything will be forfeited on my end.
How can a company refer you to a terrible and a unreliable and fraudulent company. This just boggles my mind how they won't do anything about it. Priceline I'm disappointed with your customer service and your lack of empathy. I just want to rebook to a safer and more credible car rental 'cause of your mistake. Economy Rent A Car is a disaster waiting to happen. Hope to hear from you before June 8. I have two kids with me and you're ok with me to get in a car through this company.
