I was sold a flight/hotel package in December for use in February. The hotel was set to open January 29th. I noticed the hotel website reopening date changed to June 1st and contacted Priceline's. I spoke to over a dozen people just trying to convince them the hotel was closed. I was eventually offered another hotel after someone called a sister hotel and confirmed the hotel was closed for renovations. The next day I received a call from their relocation department and was told they only handle people traveling in 72 hours or less. I was told someone else would contact me to complete my reservation. I then received an email stating I was only eligible for a refund of my hotel fees but my flight is non refundable. They will not honor the relocation I was offered and will not refund all of my money. I guess I'll be sleeping on the steps of a closed hotel.

I had booked rental car from Columbus, Ohio Int. airport on January 30th to February 2nd. It was not very clear on their website that the charges will not refunded. I had called the rental car company, National. The person informed me that if I would have booked through them directly I would have received all my money back. But since I had booked through Priceline I had lost &76.72. During Pandemic people like me are struggling to co-op with the crisis. Priceline is a cheater company and government should fine this company and ban them to operate in the US.

Watch out for the NON REFUNDABLE! Once you book it and pay it, they won’t refund your money!!! They should have a clause to where if it’s not your fault or your choice not to use it. But no they don’t!

I was in Washington DC for my daughter's school project on January 6th 2021. We had plans to fly out the following day on January 7th however because of the DC upset we were locked down by law due to a curfew that was in force for three days. I had originally purchased a package that included hotel and flight from the third of January until the 7th of January. I booked a room earlier that morning on the 6th, unaware of what was going to happen, closer to the airport I was going to be flying out of, it was not refundable so when the curfew was put into place and all transportation in or out DC was shut down I called them and explained the situation.
I have no option but to cancel but they assured me that I would have a $583 credit that I could use in order to secure a flight home the following day at a time that curfew was not in place. I had to call back through several times because every flight that I wanted to take was some reason not eligible and then on the third time I called and they had told me that I no longer had $583 credit that I had a $240 credit. But yet I was going to have to purchase the airplane tickets at the standard rate at which American Airlines sold them directly. They were only giving me the credit of 50% on the discounted rate that I originally paid but were requiring me to pay at the standard rates of that day that was being charged by American Airlines.
They wanted me to pay for my cancellation and additional $600 per person. And because I had to call back several times the price changed to the point where it was almost $800 per person and there was nothing they were going to do about it. I received absolutely zero help. I've been had to borrow money from family to book another flight and hotel closer to where my home is because otherwise weren't available and in this process they again double charged me for every service. I was charged not only by the hotels but I was also charged by Booking.com and it's now going into a 30-day process and I have still received no assistance.
This company is a fraud. They take your money and they have absolutely no empathy for anything but securing that money that they've taken. Once you're there in the strange town in a strange place you have no choice but to do what they say and pay the money. It's extortion. It may be more expensive to not use a third party service and unfortunately that keeps people who can't afford it home and unable to enjoy travel because we have to worry about being ripped off by our company who uses sneaky tactics in order to profit. I figured out that with the tragedy that happened in our capital just in my situation Booking.com or and/or Priceline which are the same company profited off of me over $400.

I booked a gulf view room on Priceline.com for Clearwater Beach FL at the Edge Hotel. Hotel stated they had me for basic room. My itinerary showed gulf view clearly. Hotel stated the issue was with Priceline. Priceline refused to help or do partial refund.

I bought a round trip ticket from them and had a cancellation on a connecting flight. They never helped in any way except to give me a runaround and transfer me from one customer service rep to another, which I spent several hours on hold and received useless dialogue. I could never get them to reschedule the flight or any help whatsoever. I booked a new flight with a different airline directly and then tried to get a partial refund to no avail. Would not use Priceline for any future flight booking or anything ever again.

My sister booked a hotel stay with Hampton INN hotel during thanksgiving 2020. When you goggle Hampton in Priceline comes up in your search pretending to be Hampton Inn hotel. Be very careful as this is not affiliated nor is the HAMPTON INN. THEY WILL CHARGE YOU 200$ OR MORE THAN THE ACTUAL HOTEL. I disputed them through my bank and also cancelled them the same day I arrived at the hotel. They refused to take the fees off. Even after explanations and proof. They cancelled my sisters hotel for her four days and refunded her money and refused to return my money.
I don’t have a problem paying, but why would I pay Priceline to book for me when I could call the hotel directly and book for cheaper. Please dont use Priceline for anything. They are not a honest company, and will charge you hundreds of dollars more than going through the company. I would rate them as a zero, however this review would not let me give them zero stars.

My plane was cancelled by the Airline. When I rebooked another flight with Priceline I was informed I would not get 100% credit for the tickets I purchased for the cancelled flight.

I have been using Priceline for almost two years now and for the most part I was completely satisfied with the app and the customer service representatives but last week I booked a room for 4 nights and seconds after I received the confirmation email I noticed the address was incorrect. I immediately called customer service at priceline after waiting for a call back which took about 15. Considering I'm a VIP member I was told they could not make any changes to my reservation and needed to contact the hotel and request a full refund that they would have to ok!
That would also take 3-5 business days to be refunded to my account and that I would need to make another reservation at the correct hotel and pay again while my funds are on hold from the first transaction. No apology, no sympathy, no understanding from the representative at all. Just kept saying priceline policy is blah blah. I'm so disappointed in this company and will definitely not be using them again.

In a COVID 19 pandemic era you would expect a company to adjust whatever policies they have to accommodate customers because it is an uncertain time and many plans may change. Priceline would lure you into believing that you will spend less but it is actually the reverse because of their exploitative way of placing hidden fees and unthinkable price tag when something suddenly happens to you and you wish to seek for accommodation from Priceline. Their customer service approach is hostile and if you booked a hotel or car through Priceline, the actual car company may be ready to work with you but Priceline for instance would restrict you so as to collect heavy fees from you. Like charging you $300 per day if you want to extend a rental, charging you $500 to drop a car in another location and refusing to refund you even if you need to return the car early.
Why must Priceline not refund a customer that returns a car early while you are going to rent out the same car and make money out of it. That is cruel and exploitative. I would NEVER recommend Priceline for anyone who worked hard for their money. CHOOSE OTHER COMPANIES TO BOOK YOUR FLIGHT, CAR AND RENTALS BECAUSE OF UNFORSEEN CIRCUMSTANCES that may happen to your period!

Priceline.com is a scam. They misrepresented themselves as a Hilton Reservation Desk. I was under stress, since we were traveling to Tulsa, Oklahoma for a funeral. The company promised me that I could change that reservation 24 hours from checking in. I called in 36 hours before we were to arrive in Tulsa. They would not let me cancel, because I supposedly misunderstood. I needed to cancel 48 hours before. When I called the hotel directly, they told me that I had not booked with Hilton, but a third party. I cannot believe that I fell for this scam. Priceline has many terrible reviews. Please be smarter than I was. I called many times to try to solve this issue, and to no avail. I learned a bitter lesson. Learn from me.

I booked a trip to Hawaii last year and my flights got cancelled due to covid, I was given flight credit of $1170, I recently planned a trip to Cancun Mexico for February and I found another flight for $1200 to use my flight's credit on. I called Priceline and they told me the price for my new flight would be $5500, I told them that is ridiculous when the same flight on their website is $1200. They told me those flight prices are for new customers only, not customers who have flight credit. I told them I want a refund then because I’m not going to pay $4000+ out of pocket for a flight I can book for $1200 online, they said we can’t refund you because it’s United airlines policy, but when I called United Airline they told me Priceline is the only ones who can refund me.
At this point I feel like my money has been stolen from me. I paid $1170 last year for a trip I never took because of a pandemic that was out of my control and now I am out of my money because Priceline won’t let me rebook another flight with the prices they provide to everyday people and the only way I can use my credits is to book a ridiculous priced airline ticket. They are seriously scamming people and it will come to light soon. Most other travel agencies let you use your flight's credits online and most also let you have a refund. Please use this as a warning to not book with Priceline because you will get scammed.

Booking was for 2 adults and 1 eight year old child. Resort had me pay $120 extra for my child for 3 nights. And also charged me government taxes which Priceline says are all included. Hotel and Priceline work in cahoots to scam customers. Reps at Philippine call center just say they are checking the reservation for 30 minutes straight, even though I’m calling them internationally on a paid call, since they have no international toll free number.
The reps and supervisor laugh and waste customers time. They lie and say they will call back after they speak to the hotel and they are escalating the case. They get very angry if you ask them for their name or case number. Some of the reps even hang up. They offer no solutions, just keep repeating the same things and don’t care after they get your Money. My booking was 8 days away and the supervisor kept lying and telling me it could not be changed. It cancelled because it was less than 3 days. Big time scammers. Book with a reputable company like Expedia if you don’t want a headache in your vacation.

I had never booked a vacation before the one we took this month (December 2020). I thought I was getting a great deal by booking a flight, rental car, and hotel through Priceline. I will not use Priceline again. First, a few days before we left, I discovered that the hotel charge was NOT included in the bundle charge. So, travelling on a budget, we had to pay over $500 for a room we thought had been part of the "great deal" of a package. Second, the rental car company was 20 minutes off-site from the airport, which Priceline did not disclose. Worse, the company has a 2.3 Google rating - the lowest I have ever seen. Priceline does not tell you upfront through whom you are renting. And that 2.3 Google rating is absolutely deserved. Check out Fox Rent a Car Orlando, and you'll see why. My experience was similar to those reviews.
Third, when I looked into changing our returning flight to a day prior to our scheduled return, Priceline told me there would be a $900 change fee. I had found out before we left that United has cancelled all change flight fees - you only have to pay the difference between the rates at this time due to COVID 19. So I asked the Priceline agent what would happen if I cancelled our flights, then went through United instead of them. I was told I would get Priceline travel voucher to use by October 2021, but that I "cannot do that." I laughed and asked the agent how they would ever know. If I cancel the flights I bought through them, they give me a travel voucher for the cost, and I simply call United to book my return. He then admitted that I "can do that." I called United to see about what it would cost to change my return flight to the day before our scheduled return. The cost: $139.
The only reason I am giving a two-star review is for the customer service. While I was frustratingly disconnected FOUR separate times calling, one of those times the agent called me back, and another time, the agent emailed me trying to reconnect. However, since I've booked flights on Priceline before, I am a "VIP" member, so your experience with customer service might be different if you don't have this "status." My advice: do your homework and book each travel component separately if you want to "bundle."

They proceeded to tell me the room was a discount room and could not be canceled (not true). I asked why I was able to cancel then? They then said that it was 3 days prior to check in so I would be charged full amount. I was passed around to several people.

I had a reservation I made using the price breaker feature. Given that this feature selects a random hotel out of a given pool I obviously did not choose my particular hotel. When I arrived however I was not allowed to check in due to being 20 rather than 21. An issue I have never heard of in my state given that legal age here is 18 and had even stayed in another hotel about two weeks prior. So I was turned away and forced to find and pay for another hotel at 10:30 at night when I had already booked and paid for a room.
I paid a service to find me a room and Priceline's service not only wasn't able to effectively book me a room it was a massive detriment to my plans and bank account. If their company would do the right thing and issue me my measly 100 dollar refund for the service THAT WASN’T PREFORMED I would happily go back to using their service but given that I'll just be swept under the rug I don't expect much from Priceline or its terrible customer service.

DO NOT use this company. I booked a car rental through them for the first time as I usually book directly through the car rental agency. My trip was cancelled due to COVID-19 restrictions. My airline reimbursed my flight, but Priceline refuses to cancel and reimburse my car rental. Full disclosure, in the small print on the contract it did state that the rental was non-refundable. There was no warning prior to making the reservation, as I have seen when reserving directly through the rental car agency, you had to read the fine print in the contract which I obviously missed. Despite that, the airline had no trouble cancelling and giving me a voucher for future travel on my flight without trip cancellation insurance.
I understand buyer beware, but Priceline did not make it easy for me to know that cancellation was not an option and I had to cancel due to circumstances not under my control. I was well aware when making the booking that COVID may impact my trip, so I would have never made the booking with the knowledge that I could not cancel without penalty. My airline made their cancellation policy very clear at the time of booking. Priceline is obviously being consciously non-transparent and taking advantage at a time when none of us can afford to pay for services not provided.

I also sprung for the insurance because it had trip cancellation coverage, and that was also worthless because they also refused to cover my cancellation because it was Covid related. In the end I would never use Priceline ever again. It really says something when every other company had no problem refunding me and Priceline is the only one who refused.

Stole my Daughter's money and cancelled her flights. My daughter, (20 yrs. old), is a CNA at a hospital in Michigan. She had saved up to buy plane tickets to North Carolina and back to Michigan to see me, (her dad), on her Birthday weekend.

She contacted Priceline and let them know that she would be driving down and was also trying to see if she could get some of her money back for those flights. They informed her that she would have to cancel all of her flights to receive anything back, we understood.

Second, worst customer service. I had to stay on Call for 15 minutes before someone answered the call. And that person couldn't answer my question and left me on hold for another 15 minutes before dropping the call. I called them at 11 PM and I got to talk to an agent at 12:05 AM and he told me that it is 5 minutes past 12 and as it was the day of rental, he can't help me in any way. Is it some kind of cheap trick?! I didn't understand. I feel bad for the company, customer service agents, and the customers renting from them. Now I understood why no one is familiar with this Priceline thingy and why Enterprise or Hertz is on top of this sector.

I searched the web for a good deal to take my daughter to the Nickelodeon Hotel in Punta Cana for her birthday. Priceline offered the best price for 2 adults and 2 children total price $342.00, so I booked it. When I received the confirmation it said only 2 adults. I proceeded to chat online with a representative which did not help, because he stated that they only guarantee 2 adults and the hotel may charge additional for the children. I explained that when I booked online it gave me the option for 2 kids and I put their ages and it generated a higher price compared to only 2 adults.
The following morning I called the hotel where they explained that the reservation is only 2 adults and I would need to pay an additional $211.00. So I called the customer service line for Priceline.com where they stated that in terms and conditions it states they only guarantee 2 adults. My issue is the following: the website allows and provides an elevated price for 2 adults and 2 children, then when you book it only guarantees the adults, when you get to the hotel you get the surprise of an additional fee. It is basically false advertisement!! So I will be paying $553.10 in total, when according to Priceline.com it was going to be $342.10.

I as the many on here complaining, was also scammed from being lured in by a cheaper rental rate via "Priceline" and reserved a car but when I reached the rental counter which is an outside building away from the main airport hub where all the other reputable agencies are housed that should have been the first warning, to then find when I arrive that the name "FOX" is really a fitting name for how this company runs its business. I have never heard of a rental company that refuses your own personal auto car insurance and forces you to buy theirs at twice the amount of what the daily rental rate was that lured you in the first place. On top of that they also added a daily road side assistance to my bill which I never requested.
The scam that they run is to lure you in with the cheapest daily rate versus a Hertz, Budget, Enterprise and once they have lured you in, they pray on the fact that your tired and want to get on your way so the the "FOX" comes out and you end up leaving there paying more than what you would have paid at a Hertz, Budget or a host of other agencies that didn't get a chance at our business because they in fact post the actual cost to the consumer up front. No hidden agendas which is why they exclude themselves from lowest pricing versus Fox who lures you in with the lowest online price but they really aren't.
Read all the reviews and shame on Priceline whom I used as they also need to do their homework before promoting businesses like this one. I will never set foot in this rental place again that's for sure and will let everyone I know to stay away. I called Priceline to complain this afternoon and was treated without empathy or concern. Use another site for your needs such as Hotwire or others. This Priceline site is just as bad as the rental car agency,

This was supposed to be a full non smoking facility. The internet was also not working, which normally isn’t a big deal but the only reason we even booked. I called Priceline immediately and went to the front desk to cancel the reservation due to the uncleanliness and internet issues. I was told that there was nothing they can do without the approval of the hotel manager.
I’ve been told multiple times they are “escalating” my issue; however, nothing has been done and I do not receive follow up. I’ve called Priceline 7 times in the past 2 months with no assistance. They refuse to give me any notes on my account and even lied to my credit card company when I attempted to dispute the charge as a last resort.

I have never been more disappointed by a travel site. First, we did the bundle deal to rent a car and flights together, because they clearly stated that you were able to pick up the car rental at the airport. When we arrived we could not find the kiosk. I doubled checked the reservation and it said the airport again, but there was another address under this. I called customer service and at first, she just said, "Well you must have to get a cab to that address." I asked why it said airport and why did this not update until after I paid for the reservation. She looked further and finally found where I could get a shuttle. At this point, she just kept repeating directions with no actual customer service. I accepted that I might have missed this somehow, but the presentation of the bundle was purposely misleading and the customer service was horrible.
When booking the flights our itinerary updated and Priceline had changed our return flight to Frontier. I was not happy about this, but figured that was apart of the cheapest bundle. At the end of our trip, the flight was still active on Priceline and we did not receive any updates. Luckily we tried to check in the night before and kept getting an 'error' or 'reservation not found' message. We called Priceline and were transferred to the flights department which said they would have to call us back. While waiting I called Frontier and they told us there was an error in booking back in September and they canceled our flight (I still don't know what this means).
Their only offer was a 38.00 refund or to reserve their next available flight, which was not until February. When Priceline finally called back they just said, "Are you sure your tickets were canceled, this is still showing active", "Did you actually speak to Frontier?" Finally, the customer service rep looked a little more and confirmed the same thing as Frontier, she saw some sort of error. She then informed us that it is not their responsibility to send us updates or make sure our booking went through or that the flight was active when booking. We get this information from the airline. Meanwhile, we are still stuck in Miami with no way home.
I told her it's ridiculous to charge so many fees and to book through them if they don't support the transaction, but we needed a solution and way home. Her response was that this was the flights department, but it was a reservation issue and they would have to call back. We did not get a call back until 1 am. We had to find flights at another airport and still have not gotten our refunds or another customer service response.

The best way to describe Priceline is the Russian Roulette of the travel industry. Maybe a few people have had a good experience but all that means is you pulled the trigger and didn't have the chamber with the bullet. Essentially, here's how they work. To compete against legitimate companies, say for instance in the rental car company market, they partner with low budget, cut-throat, poorly-reviewed companies like Routes (1 star) to undercut the prices of legitimate companies like Hertz or Enterprise and to make themselves seem better than other 3rd party indirect sites like booking.com or Travelocity.
You think you are paying less, then you get there and they did not quote all the taxes and fees correctly and it's 120$ more and they are already making huge money on the mark up margins selling you a rental car for a week from a carrier that should be way less and pulling up the price to within 20$ online of a Hertz or Enterprise. Also in the 20 years I have been traveling, obviously nothing is ever 100% perfect but I have in those 20 years had issues with my bookings (cars, hotels, flights) with bookig.com, Trevelocity, Orbitz, Kayak, Tripadvisor, airbnb, Hotels.com and others and all others will work with you to resolve the issue. Priceline is the only one that will for all intents and purposes tell you to go to hell we're keeping you're money "caveat emptor". They have done this to me no twice on a rental car and a hotel.

I was told I could only do my flight because my car rental was not changeable. I called a Hertz and since I booked with Priceline there was nothing they could do. Shame on both. Hertz shouldn’t allow this and Priceline just lost an eight year customer.

These people are senseless crooks! I booked a car and hotel for LAX 09/04/2020 just to see that the car was for pickup Long Beach. I called immediately and ended up chatting with Rick who said that even though everything was non refundable or changeable, he would make an exception and for me to rebook it on the website. Since it was a bundle reservation, I did as told and rebooked the car and hotel. Only to find out that he was only refunding the car. Meanwhile I was forced to pay twice for a hotel that I only stayed in once. My bank claims that they lost the dispute to them because Priceline informed them of their policy. I would have never rebooked the entire reservation if I wasn’t instructed to do so!! Please run as fast as you can from Priceline!!! They are making trillions off of us unnecessarily.

Booked a airline and hotel weekend for our 40th wedding anniversary through Priceline 8/2/2020 and paid it in full. Arrived at the hotel and general manager advised me the hotel was closed to the public and that they told Priceline in March 2020. Called Priceline, they had the audacity to tell me they had to call the hotel and verify the information. Got a call back saying "oh yes, hotel is closed to public". Got the run around about having them find me another room. Remember, I'm at the hotel trying to check in to a non-existent room. Half hour later they stated I could get a full refund after 1 business day. Asked for person name and he gave me his first name and last initial and I told him he would hear from me if monies aren't refunded in time-frame promised. He stated I probably wouldn't be able to talk to him. Never never never will I ever use Priceline again or recommend them to anyone. BEWARE.

We booked a round trip to Las Vegas, we were able to talk to a live person to book our flight, she was very nice. After we booked our trip we took for granted what the confirmation said that was emailed to me. Our trip was supposed to fly out Monday and return that Friday. On the Sunday evening before our trip I noticed our leaving flight said Sunday not Monday therefore we had actually already missed our flight. Where it got frustrating was we could not get a live person on the phone for help. We ended up driving and took a loss. Still have not been able to get a live person on the phone, the recording referrers us to their email and says there is a code that we need to get help, the only number on the email is the flight confirmation which doesn't work on their site. I will not use this company again.

I have just returned from the worst ordeal I have ever encountered whilst travelling overseas. I paid a lot of money to stay at a Riu Palace Peninsula, a 5 star hotel in Cancun, Mexico from October 3 to 9th. Unfortunately on the 6th October we had to be evacuated from the hotel to a shelter due to hurricane Delta heading in our direction. When leaving the hotel we were given a plastic bag with a banana, a cookie, a sandwich and a tin of tuna and told that was our dinner and breakfast.
We arrived at the shelter which was a disused Riu hotel and it was disgraceful. Our room had a filthy toilet and no running water so we changed rooms. The new room stank. It had no air conditioning and only had water in the fridge. We had to walk to the shops and buy food and drink. I rang Riu customer service many times in Spain, but they were unable to help us....I then rang Priceline who I had booked through and they were also unable to help us...so the conclusion was we were dumped in Mexico, in a refugee camp to look fend for ourselves.
That night we left the camp to get some food and drink, when we returned to the shelter there were people camped out on the gardens, the trash cans were overflowing, there was garbage everywhere ...This place was a mess and a health hazard and how Riu or Priceline can justify putting guest in a hell hole like this is beyond belief, not only under normal circumstances but during a pandemic.
Eventually after 2 nights in this dump, we returned back to the peninsula to find out our flights home had been cancelled and we had to reschedule, which also meant we had to book and pay for two more nights at the Peninsula, even though we never stayed at the hotel for the allocated time we booked for. I know the hurricane was not anybody’s fault, but If there were no more rooms available at other Riu hotels you should of put people up elsewhere. This shelter was a disgrace and it would not surprise me if COVID or other disease will now come from here. You are playing with people's lives and your actions are totally unacceptable.
I am now back in the USA and I have rang Priceline to complain and get a refund of some kind. They were totally unhelpful and said I am not eligible for a refund as Riu have told them no refunds are being issued. Thanks Priceline and Riu for looking after us during our vacation and after...NOT! I strongly advise people not to use either of these companies because once they have your money they don’t care.

I booked a vacation to St. Thomas through Priceline with the hotel, rental car and flight. I canceled 2 days later after booking bc of bad weather and plus it would be my first time flying so I was nervous about the hurricanes. After booking I received a call from the hotel saying that we would need to have COVID testing done before coming and if we didn’t we would be quarantined for 14 days when we arrived. Let me remind you it’s 4 days before my trip. When I cancelled I got refunded for hotel and car rental and they wouldn’t give me a dime back for my flight. I got insurance on my trip and it wasn’t worth a dang. I talked to several people from Priceline and all were non English representatives. One of the representatives wrote in my notes that he offered me a credit for my flight in which he didn’t. He offered for me to take a flight 12/31/20 and I didn’t except because this was my vacation for the year.
Priceline and American Airline kept on pushing me back forth to one another and kept telling me they would get back to me. Never did!! My flight date came and the insurance denied me for my refund and didn’t send me confirmation until after my flight. So the representative from priceline put in my notes that I was a no show. That was incorrect because I cancelled days before. Priceline said that they were going to handle it and escalate my concern to a manager and they were going to get back with me in 48 to 72 hours and they didn’t. I had to call them after they said they were getting back to me twice.
It was a nightmare. I spent $3200 on that whole trip. All that I got back in a refund was $1500. I got $300 back from the rental in 24 hours but it took them a month to send back the $1200 (refund was only suppose to take 14 days) because they said something went wrong with the system and they didn’t see it. I will never in life book from Priceline again. They are holding my money and still haven’t refunded my money for my flight..

I call Priceline next morning, they tell me we have to confirm with hotel manager. Priceline calls me and tells me they have refused refund.
I talk with hotel manager and Priceline over phone call. Hotel manager tells me you didn't call Priceline in a timely manner. He also adds a FALSE PIECE of information. He assured me that front desk manager asked me to call Priceline that same night to cancel, which he never did (my brother who was with me confirmed that the guy at front desk simply stated call Priceline, he never said anything about when). Plus it was 11 pm, I was barely able to make a reservation at the Sheraton to get some sleep, it's not even reasonable to ask me make that call that night if that was the policy. I'm disappointed with the hotel manager who handled the situation in a convoluted way rather than rectifying the mistake. The front desk worker that lied. The unclean room.

Like I told your representative, I clicked the link in my itinerary that went straight to your site. I then clicked the link to cancel the reservation. I don't blame the hotel, I blame Priceline. It had nothing to do with the hotel. I did what I had to do to cancel my reservation. I went back in my history and found the time I went back to your site to cancel the reservation. It was at 7:07 PM. My reservation was made at 9:30 AM. What other reason would I go back to the Priceline site. I am a retired teacher and my retirement isn't very much, but I am a forgiving person so, it's a lesson learned. It is possible the internet was messing up with our weather, but you can afford the $226 more than I can.
Good business practice would be to at least offer some kind of assistance. You could have shared the cost of the hotel by at least paying half or you could have refunded your fees. My city was experiencing a hurricane. You should have shown some kind of compassion. I also booked on Hotels.com the exact same way I did the Priceline reservation. It was the same procedure I did with Priceline, but the only difference was theirs worked. I will not be using Priceline again.

We recently evacuated from Hurricane Delta, called Priceline to book two rooms because we have used them before and we’re satisfied in the past. Originally we requested to reserve LaQuinta Inn in Bossier City, Shreveport area, however it would not allow me to do so from my iPad due to sold out. So the recommendation was to call the customer service number provided in which I did so. The representative was very swift speaking with his words and supposedly told us the Super 8 was all they had left. “All the others are astronomically high” he said. I then looked at the property on Priceline website and was pleasantly surprised of the pictures of the property.
Once we arrived at the property after a grueling trip in rainy horrible weather, the property looked completely opposite of the pics on the site. We had smoking rooms which were not requested and the property had no non smoking rooms available. People were hanging outside of their rooms all evening, the tv did not work. The bedroom furniture was horrible. The lights in the bathroom were not working. Just a hot unsafe mess of a property. The hotel representative allowed compensation for the second night booked however not the first. We then booked the Hampton Inn within minutes through Expedia, checked into our new property and was relieved that the property was just how the pics described it with wonderful safe and a super friendly staff.
Called Priceline to inquire on a refund however it took 24 hours before reaching someone. Priceline did not have my email address correct therefore we were never emailed an itinerary. I repeated my self multiple time so that the representative would have my correct information. Finally when I reached them it was over an hour long phone call. They agreed to reimburse us for the second day booked however the property refused to refund both days. Priceline informed us that they would listen to the recording and if they felt it was the representatives’ fault we would receive a full refund. 5 days later I called to follow up. “May we emailed you a decision”.
First of all neither one of the representatives that I spoke to managed to get my correct email address so of course as the first time we did not receive an email. Secondly they informed me via a telephone conversation they would not be able to credit the full refund. We used to use Priceline often in the past. We travel regularly for AAU basketball games and recreation. This was a horrible experience and I would never ever recommend them to anyone or use them again. On the other hand the process with Expedia was a stress free and easy process. Never ever again Priceline!

I was told that because Thrifty is a franchise, the people who make the reservations have no way of knowing whether they have cars available or not. They just continue to book rentals and charge customers regardless. She said she had been turning people away all day. I then had to call Priceline customer service and they had to verify all info with the location before agreeing to issue me a refund, which will take a few days to process. This is an unacceptable business model and both Priceline and Thrifty are at fault. I will never do business with either company again.

I have been on the phone for over 6 hours, the phone keep disconnecting in the middle of the call an I never got a call back. Even though I gave them call back number. I was calling to change a return flight that I originally booked with them using PRICELINE visa CARD. I called the airline before calling priceline and they said that I have to call priceline to change the flight. So I called priceline, the agent said she can't help me and that I have to call the airline, after clearing that with her she finally agreed to help. She put me on hold for over an hour and a half, and then finally found the flight, then she told me she can't use my VISA card, I asked her why and she failed to give me good reason, I asked to speak with a Manager and the manager failed also to give me reason why I can't use their own card. Then phone got disconnected, and they never called me back again, and again I have to call again and repeat the cycle.. The 6 HOURS CYCLE.
In addition, the new flight is cheaper than my original flight with $100 but they asked me to pay $150, and I agreed out of frustration, UNTIL NOW MY PROBLEM IS NOT SOLVED AND MY FLIGHT IS NOT ADJUSTED....6 HOURS,,,,6 HOURS OF CALLING AND WAITING ON HOLD. This is absolutely the worst experience EVER. I will advise my family member and friends to NEVER use your service again.

I was very disappointed with the customer service. I needed to change the exact flight to the next day for military purposes and I had to pay an additional $165 on top of the $88 for one and an additional $130 for another one on top of the $365 that was paid. It is ridiculous. I understand that there would be a difference fee but when I was online looking at the difference fee it was only about $70. I tried to explain this to the women and she kept blaming United Airlines and saying that this is the best that she could do.
When I booked this flight I got it because it specifically said no change fee and I thought that meant that it would be easier because being a military family means that everything is constantly changing with very little notice.

So- I live in Kansas City, MO. Back in March 2020 I booked a hotel through Priceline in Munich, Germany for Oktoberfest. As we all know, within the next month, COVID happened and a) Oktoberfest was cancelled and b) Americans can’t even get into Europe as of this moment (9/2/20). I called Priceline MULTIPLE times since April to see what could be done. I’ll say here that I booked a “non refundable” room initially, never expecting a GLOBAL PANDEMIC that would prevent travel into said country of booking. Had I CHOSEN to not go, I’d have absolutely been ready to eat over $1000 in hotel charges, BUT, I have NO CHOICE in the matter.
So I call priceline asking to change dates or get a refund, due to COVID, at which time I’d just turn around and rebook for next year. Because, hopefully, this mess will be done by next year. NOPE. Priceline would not work with me, instead blaming the hotel (Hilton), who I also contacted, and who said it was up to Priceline. The last call I made tonight was to Priceline, who basically told me “whatever- we will not help you further” and HUNG UP on me..
Even if I do NOT get my dates changed or a refund due to COVID, I’m telling you, I’ll NEVER use this site again and I’d advise anyone else to not consider it either.

I rarely have had to post a negative review, but due to the horrible customer experience I have encountered I feel the need to forewarn people especially during these difficult times. I booked a bundle Vegas trip and the person I was suppose to take the trip with tested positive for COVID. I called within the 24 hr guidelines to cancel flights and hotel explaining the circumstances. The first agent explained the ongoing flight would be refunded, but had to get confirmation if the returning flight and hotel would be refunded at 100%. She called back stating that the returning flight was able to refunded and I asked her to then cancel. She then proceeds to state that she could not get a hold of the hotel and would have to try again tomorrow. Didn’t make sense, it would be past the 24hr guidelines and I would be penalized some type of fee.
I call the hotel and they were more than understanding stating that Priceline never called given that he was the only receptionist up front. He voiced they receive a percentage on which is why they are probably saying they couldn’t get a hold of them. I then call Priceline back and state that the agent lied, 2Nd agent was able to then cancel. 2 days pass and I receive an email stating that I have been refunded all amounts for the exception of my returning flight. Here we go again.... Again time wasted from my day, being transferred to multiple agents basically stating it was my responsibility to cancel and never did I voice, nor do they have it documented that I wanted this cancelled. Are you kidding me? I get they want a percentage. They would rather risk losing a long term Customer and keep their small percentage.
No resolution, it’s going to take 2 to 3 days for them to go thru the voice recordings to confirm that I voiced for it to be cancelled and will return call. They offered a credit... why should I be penalized and not be refunded my money. I’m taking COVID safety precautions, I clearly called to have the whole bundle cancelled and they found a loophole to still charge me some type of fee. Very disappointed.... Many have recommended Allegiant, I guess I’m switching over. The team needs to be trained on customer service, sometimes being accountable And understanding will take you further with your customers, than standing by obtaining a small win (fee) and losing the trust of a customer.

Worst experience ever! I booked an Express Deal with Priceline for one night hotel stay. It seemed a deal however, when we checked out, the hotel handed me the invoice and surprisingly, that was no deal. The hotel rate was actually less than the Express Deal advertised by Priceline. I decided to call Priceline Customer Service to understand where the deal was. Talking to the agent seemed like talking to a robot as I was getting the same nonsense answer no matter my questions. First, I was told that the hotel shouldn't have given me the invoice as it should not be available to the general public. Fine, not my problem, I did not ask for it, however, I am one member of the general public and I have all the rights and means to find out the hotel rate by simply calling the hotel... so what are we talking about here?!
Then, the agent said the room rate Priceline negotiated with the hotel was confidential information and I should have not been given the invoice. OK, fine with me but where was the deal than, when booking with Priceline was more expensive than booking with the hotel directly? Anyone out there could call the hotel directly and ask for the room rate. So my confusion about the Express Deal got even more confusing.
In the end, I asked the agent whether he had discussed the issue with his supervisor which he had not. So I asked to speak with his supervisor to get clarification on the Express Deal and why the hotel was charging less than the Express Deal. I was connected with the "senior agent" which spoke like a firing machine gun; I could barely had time to say something until I actually told him that it was rude to talk to someone like that and we were actually having a conversation, not a monologue. Then he kind of took it down a notch.
In the end, they refused to refund the difference. I asked if it was more important to keep a customer happy than to process a refund (which was less than $50). Their answer ("it's fine if we lose a customer") actually confirmed that they are using all kind of tricks to fool people into booking with them like advertising "Express Deals", restricting access to information etc. My advise: before booking, call the provider directly instead of going through third parties like Priceline.

I do not recommend anyone purchasing a car rental through this website. The worst customer service experience I have ever encountered for travel purposes.

After many conversations, 3-way calls, recorded conversations they are finally refunding my money. Everything except the insurance. They refuse to refund the insurance even though the cruises canceled their own bookings. They stated, "Well you did not cancel insurance within 10 days". I told them that was crap, pay for a service, don't get to use it and they get to keep it. Which by the way, Priceline parent company is the one who charges you and keeps it.

I recently tried using Priceline for a one night stay in a specific area of Long Island. Listings on the hotel deal page, using 3 star hotel as a filter, the room prices were either similar or more expensive than booking direct from the three main brands listed. However, they kept displaying an “Express Deal”, showing that filter and area with one of three hotels for $101 a night, which was about $70 or so off the other listed prices. For five straight days I tried this option, and each time it would list two available options at that price, one for a King Bedroom, one for 2 Queens. Each time, over a 5 days period, I selected each of these options, and every single time I got a message saying that it “just sold out”, and sent me back to the page with the higher prices for the specific hotels in that category.
I can understand a deal selling out, but not for five straight days while still being highlighted on the main page. I contacted Priceline customer service, and was given the usual scripted, generic nonanswers that deflected all blame, and tried to say it was the hotels themselves that were responsible. Again, that excuses ignores the fact that even if the inventory for that deal was gone, why is it still appearing on Priceline for five days, including after my conversation with customer service? This is nothing but a classic bait and switch, luring you in with a good deal that doesn’t actually exist and then steering you to a higher priced option.

In June, our company was told the meeting had to be canceled due to Covid concerns. I called Priceline to request a refund.

I explained that that was of absolutely no help to me as I will not have a reason to go to Santa Ana within that time frame. We will not have a meeting there within that time period. I continued to press that something surely could be done to help me. After HOURS on the phone, the representative told me that the only way I could receive reimbursement, was if there was a schedule change to my flight. Two months later, there was a schedule change. I called. They denied the ability to reimburse me. I let them know that I was told by their employee that it could be done.
After 90 minutes+ of incremental placements on hold, they finally admitted that there was a clause that said reimbursements could be made, but that the schedule change had to be greater than a 2-hour change. Mine was 1 hour 40 minutes. They refused to reimburse me.

They took my bank card payment for the car and then told me when I arrived to pickup I can use it to get rental but HELLO you took my money from the card!!!! And then said, "We will cancel your reservation." And no refund is available from Priceline. If that is not fraud I don't know what is!!!! Two people in front of me were not happy the cars they were given were dirty and out of gas! WOW Never.

We are in the middle of a worldwide pandemic. We had a trip planned to Hawaii in June, a trip that was canceled for reasons beyond our control, COVID 19. Our flight was canceled and refunded, our hotel was canceled and refunded. Priceline however is refusing to refund the $500 they charged us for a rental car because you say there are no refunds once a reservation is made. Under normal circumstances I can understand that. What I have described above, however, is anything but a normal circumstance. We were UNABLE to get to Hawaii. We contacted Thrifty, and they gave us approval to have the car reservation canceled and refunded.
We provided Priceline with the Thrifty agent name and badge number, and they still refused to refund our money. Is your CEO Brett Keller, aware that his company is refusing to refund a car reservation when the trip for which the car was reserved was cancelled due to a worldwide pandemic? As a company, Priceline should be ashamed to keep peoples money for a reservation that was canceled because of an inability to travel due to COVID-19. He should be made aware of this ludicrous practice that his company is following. Do the right thing. REFUND OUR MONEY. DO NOT USE Priceline for anything. We never will again and that was my go-to site for rentals.

Absolutely the worst experience booking a vacation/ honeymoon ever! Just to get this out of the way I am on my 33rd international vacation. It starts out with Delta canceling our flight. I then contact Priceline to book a new flight. They tell me "I can't because Delta has a very strict cancelation policy"....Um they canceled my flight. After 2 hours of being on the phone they finally agree to refund my $915.00. 5 weeks later here I am writing this review with no refund. I've called and emailed the company CEO down to customer service. Honestly have better things to do other waste close to 6 hours of my time chasing my refund. Then it gets even better....ready for this....priceline bait and switch BS.
I book an all inclusive resort. Priceline webpage and the emailed itinerary state all inclusive resort. When get here they tell us, "No. You only paid for the breakfast only plan!!" Horrible experience. Never again. Also please be aware that they also own and Booking.com, Priceline.com, Agoda.com, Kayak.com, Cheapflights, Rentalcars.com, Momondo, and OpenTable all under Booking Holdings. Book direct. Pay a little more. Save yourself the headache!

I booked a flight to Myrtle Beach back in May to take my wife on a much-needed vacation from Michigan. Flight down was good. No issues. Got notified less than 24hrs before return flight was supposed to take place that it was canceled. Upon calling Priceline and trying to get them to find me another flight, they said there was nothing they could do for me except refunding the canceled flight. So I have to book another flight at an added cost of $500.00 to get back home because it was last minute. I will never use Priceline again for anything!!! I know I put one star but that was because they wouldn't take this without at least 1 star.

I was using Kayak to search for a recent hotel stay and after being burnt by Booking.com I figured we would try Priceline.com, BIG MISTAKE. I was given a prompt to call for a better rate than what their online pricing was showing and when I called I was offered a different room than the king suite I was booking and told the only difference was that it had 2 queen beds instead of a king and it was going to be cheaper. The room I received only had 2 full sized beds not queens. I had also asked to verify the free breakfast, wifi and parking, only to find out by the hotel at check in that wifi was not free and later at check out that parking was not free as well. The hotel comped the fees we were charged for parking and apologized and even informed me that my room would have been even cheaper if I had just booked straight through the hotel.
When called Priceline to ask about the almost $100 in taxes/fees I was told they don't offer an itemized bill for their taxes and fees and that as a third party booking they have fees they are allowed to charge to recoup their money after paying the hotel. When I asked how they claim to be the cheapest rates possible when they quote you a price and then you get hit with these ridiculous fees that literally add up to more than what a one night stay at the hotel would have cost me, I was told that they have to charge fees to pay for the customer service fees. What a joke. The gentleman even laughed at me after I told them they were crooks. I will never recommend anyone to use this sight or any others for that matter. Very disgusted with their practices. I would give a 0 star review if it were an option.

I have used Priceline for months and months spending thousands of dollars booking through Priceline. I have now had multiple experiences that their reservations are not true to the hotel policy. This last booking I was actually subjected to dangerous situations assaults of the staff and drugs in and out of the hotel. My cousin actually had her car stolen while in the parking lot. Was re-roomed due to broken air conditioning unit. Witnessed assault. Cops were there more than 5X in the matter of 2 days. A woman running around the hallways all night in her panties with an ankle monitor on yelling profanities.
Priceline specifically said it was pet friendly and had to re-home and foster our dogs for a week because it was NOT pet friendly. So then I called priceline since I booked through them to complain about these horrific experiences and ISSUES and priceline told me that nobody had complained to the hotel. I was told to call priceline since I booked through them. I stated that I WAS complaining. I either had 15 minutes to leave the hotel to get a refund for the unused stay or not get a refund at all. This is not the second time that their website states false advertisements and refuses to refund the money. I will NEVER use Priceline again. I was subjected to a stay in a hotel that was dangerous and was VERY scary.

I have used Priceline for many years and they continuously create new ways to deliberately deceive their customers. They are a very crooked company. They farm out their customer service to India and sized it down so you have to wait more than an hour to get through. They advertised a credit card and credit card credit for using their credit card. I applied, got accepted, I have 800 plus credit rating. And then did not give me the credit for doing what they said to do. It is a complete scam.

This company will process your order in USD without being transparent. Hopefully, you won't have to proceed with a refund like I did, because they will claim to have free cancellation then after hitting the cancellation button quote you with cancellation fee they are automatically deducting from your refund. Afterwards you'll find out that your refund will have a difference of whatever the currency rate dictates and the company will take 0 accountability for the cost you have lost. They have no concern whatsoever for scamming Canadians.

This was a last minute decision in the middle of a pandemic hoping to save money. The hotel itself had nothing to do with this unfortunate experience. When I saw the original price of the room I was turned off, then I discovered Priceline which offered a rate of 40% off/night. That encouraged my decision to stay for two, rather than one.
At first the total came to $93.39 for a night including taxes, and when I arrived at the hotel I assumed the $175 hold on my credit card included the deposit. Upon check out, I was alarmed to find they had charged me $257.32 for both nights. I know we are talking about roughly $70 loss here, but the issue was when I tried to contact Priceline support the agent immediately argued, saying there's no way to look up my booking without a PIN # which I was not provided. I game him everything, confirmation and itinerary # plus personal info. He argued with me slowly and in disbelief because "Priceline normally provides a PIN #". He suggested I CONTACT PRICELINE DIRECTLY, whatever that meant. I asked if he had the #, of course he said no.
So I called their corporate office which re-routed me back to the same place. Even though there are three phone numbers available they each brought me back to the exact same gentlemen, who actually hung up on me after I said "hello". Also when you use the text support from the website it doesn't send because it's invalid and it's registered in the Netherlands. WHAT AN UNBELIEVABLE SCAM.

I'm only giving an additional star, since I was able to get some money back from my AIRLINE cancelled flights. Trip to Asia cancelled with 4 other people I know. Same exact flights/itinerary. We all had different experiences in terms of refunds. MAKES NO SENSE. It is the strangest thing because according to the airlines' policies (EVA, JejuAir) we should be able to get our money back. I attribute this to the low bar for their call representatives. It seems that some representatives are capable and are able to process refunds and send you on your way in a timely manner. Others will just say that they are unable to even give you a refund with penalties (when other people in your group have been able to do that exact thing).
- refunded, no response, denied (won't allow refund w/ penalty)
- refunded by exception (she yelled at the rep), no response, refunded by exception
- refunded w/ penalty, no response, refunded w/ penalty
- refunded w/ penalty, refunded, refunded w/ penalty
Priceline needs to put more effort into training their call centers because after this fiasco, no one in my group will EVER utilize Priceline in the future. This should have been a piece of cake to deal with, but instead Priceline has been a headache even a month after the flight. In fact, my worries is that they are intentionally training their callers to withhold refunds and give fake information.
Doing so will ensure that they do not have to give back their referral money. For example, while trying to ask them to put in a refund request, the representative wrongly tells me that it did not follow the airline's policy. I had to explicitly tell him that this info was posted on the airline's website to which he replied that it did not cover my flight because it was posted way after I purchased my tickets (makes no sense, the inverse should be true). You have to argue with these reps because they either have no idea what they're doing... I don't know. This company is a nightmare and has definitely lost the trust of so many of their customers by not working with them.
