Priceline, and their garbage "insurance" are an absolute joke! Talk about false advertising! Don't even bother trying to save a few pennies going through them and their absolute dumpster fire of an "insurance" company! It is all a scam and fraud. They advertise "worry free booking", etc and then they hit you with the fine print after you have paid. Even if you have a legitimate claim they will just tell you that you don't, too bad, so sad. The combo is a shake-down scam.

I booked a room through Priceline that said it was pet friendly. I called the hotel just to make sure that they were pet friendly the next day before going to check in and they said that they are not pet friendly and they only allow service animals. I called Priceline to try to get the situation rectified so that I could book another room that would allow me to bring my dog with us since we were on a road trip. And they said that it’s a nonrefundable room that I have booked and because of that I was out $100. So I wasn’t able to actually book another room. When their website said on there that it was a pet friendly hotel. Not a service animal only friendly. This advertising is incorrect and should not be allowed and they need to chance that.

I booked a Hotel reservation using Express Deal. Before making the final booking, I called Priceline and reconfirmed the final amount. The Priceline Customer Service Representative confined that whatever is shown on Priceline.com will be the final amount, including all taxes. When I was checking out from the hotel, they asked me to pay the resort fee, which was 204$. At that time, I called Priceline again to check this. I was on the call with them for approximately 35 minutes, out of which I was on hold last 15-20 minutes. Since I had to catch my flight, I hung up the call and paid the resort fee.
When I called that Priceline after reaching home to request the refund, Priceline dropped the 1st call; on the next call, I told the same thing for the 3rd time, and then again, I was transferred to a senior person. A senior person raised a ticket and within 2 hours got back to me. The customer representative said that you clicked on the 'Complete Booking' button at the time of booking, which implies that "By selecting Complete Booking you agree to the Booking Conditions (this link opens in a modal dialog) Terms and Conditions, and Privacy Policy." In this section, a small line mentions that the customer is responsible for paying resort fees at the hotel.
I told them that I confirmed this with Priceline before booking the hotel, and he/she did not mention such a thing, but again the person on call was not listening and was changing the statement every minute. After that, they said they would investigate the phone recording; however, even if they confirm that the customer representative gave the wrong information, I won't get any refund. This happened when I was a VIP Blue member of Priceline.

Priceline travel sucks. I've been using their services for well over a decade. My daughter and I were supposed to be traveling to Atlanta to go to an awards ceremony on the 13th of this month but, my daughter has her meeting for a Congressional Nomination to try and get into the Naval Academy the same day. We just found this out today. Our trip is 9 days away and we booked a full package trip with them (air, hotel and car). All is not refundable or even transferable! I can't get a straight answer from anyone. Priceline says it's the operator's policy, not theirs. I call the individual operators and they tell me to call Priceline. Unreal.

When making reservation and entered arrive date and checkout date, confirmed and was requested payment type, gave that information and hit continue the confirmation sent to me came up with entirely different arrival date than what I entered. I could not back it out or change it. I immediately called the toll free # on confirmation and they told me I would be charged for that day and could not cancel because it was within 14 days of the arrival date. I insisted they made the date change from what I originally entered and they again told me I would be charged anyway. I would not recommend them at all. I'm out $135.00 because of their dishonesty.

Priceline lies about VIP members getting special deals on hotel fees. On Priceline.com, I was told that I would only have to pay $7 per day for hotel fees, because I'm a VIP member. It's a lie. The hotel charged me $51 per day and priceline just said I have to pay those fees to the hotel directly. Well priceline, your website said I would only have to pay $7 per day to the one hotel and nothing extra to the other hotel. I spent hours on chats and phone calls with priceline and the hotels, and everything pointed back to it being a priceline error. Oh and did I mention that the priceline agents pretended to not understand anything that I was saying? I had to repeat the issue I had about 15 times. What a joke! Do you think I got my money back? NOPE! They have to be stopped. Bait and switch isn't legal priceline.

I went to book a flight and the company had an immediate book now with a representation of a reasonable flight itinerary. I booked it and it then put me on a completely unreasonable schedule where I not only was going to be on a layover that would have me arrive the wrong day, but was such an extreme layover that I could actually drive in less time. I immediately called to rescind and ask for a refund and they responded by unilaterally confirming my flight and demanded nearly 100 to cancel. I told them I was disputing the charge and they responded by only refunding by a credit the amount they were willing to refund.

We booked a hotel with Priceline months in advance for the Formula 1 races in Austin, TX - We got the Sleep Inn in Round Rock, TX. We printed out all confirmation info. and had it on our phones & even received a "time to check in" reminder from Priceline! When we got to the hotel (Sleep Inn) day before the race we were told they had no reservation with for us and no rooms available (We had 2 rooms booked with them!!!) - We showed them the confirmation information and they would not accept it saying it was with Priceline.
We called Priceline and they called the hotel - still would not honor reservation - after many hours on the phone back and forth with customer service Priceline was not able to find us another hotel room anywhere & we were in Austin for the races without a place to stay! Priceline refunded our money for the hotel - We had to spend hours calling hotels/motels ourselves and ended up staying in San Marcos, TX paying $394 per night/per room for a Holiday Inn! We were not compensated by Sleep Inn nor Priceline. Always book hotel rooms directly with the hotel - and call hotel to confirm before you leave on your trip. Do not trust Priceline!

I paid over $1000 and change in airfare mainly and a hotel booking in August 2021 to Priceline. I canceled the trip to Orlando because I saw my departure flight from NYC to Orlando was during a hurricane. Not to mention the high covid numbers in Florida at the time. I supposedly received a voucher for the airfare but Priceline won’t give me even the cheapest tickets with a face value substantially less than what I already paid them without charging me a $125 fee. This company did outright theft since obviously I can’t shell out more money on top of over $1000.

I bought a package through Priceline for an airline ticket and a one way car rental which I also paid an $18 fee to cancel. When I landed I found out that there was no rental company near where the town I submitted to drop it off. I was told to make another booking and priceline would refund me for the other flight. When I talked to customer service after not seeing a credit and seeing that I was charged twice for the rental they then told me that was non refundable and they would refund me the extra 18 $ I paid to have a fully refundable reservation. So I paid for 2 rental cars. One would think they would at least keep their stories straight at the very minimum. Wasted way too much of my time and double charged me. Clearly that $18 refundable fee is also a scam.

Priceline is not a legit company. First of all it's run by bunch of kids. :( If you need any help with the reservation expect zero help but instead expect fraud, nastiness and theft. They will not cancel or modify any booking and they expect you to get screwed. Especially if you book a car with "economy rent a car" you're literally walking to hell. Economy rent a car are nothing with no customer experience whatsoever. They are disrespectful, rude and dishonest kids. If you're OK with all of this go ahead and book with Priceline.

My son came in for the weekend and I had prepaid a hotel room at the Howard Johnson in Atlanta.. When my son reached his destination of the Howard Johnson hotel he was not only told that there was no shuttle service After midnight he was then told that his room had been booked and that the hotel was full with no transfers that price States on the is it a state on the app that there is and when he gets to the hotel it's booked up and there's nothing Priceline can do but refund me my money which takes 1 to 7 days. Took 3 days for me to get my refund. My son had to spend 2 nights in the Atlanta Airport. Because I was unable to pay for another night. Being I live paycheck to paycheck. No transfer no shuttle from airport. And the hotel was even called prior to validate reservation and time of my son's arrival. Thus was the most horrible experience ever. But the Slipknot concert was the best. The weekend for my son was unacceptable

This was the worse hotel I’ve ever stayed. It was a nightmare. Mold and mildew was so fragrant it physically has me sick. When reported to the hotel staff, the reply was “well how long have ya been in the room?” After explaining I had just gotten there, there was an awkward pause before the conversation abruptly ended. We immediately left but still were charged a parking fee of $15, taxes and a “resort fee” of about $12. I tried speaking with Priceline who I actually booked with and the advisor stated she can give me 15% off my next trip there. 2 fairly large multi million or billion dollar businesses offer a consumer $22.50 as recourse for this nightmare of a hotel. Please do not waste your time.

Priceline is cheap because they compensate by giving you a code for 15% off of your next booking. If there is something wrong with your booking, the hotel will say, "Sorry you went through Priceline", then Priceline will say, "Sorry it was in our disclosures." It is a racket and takes advantage of people who have good faith in a hotel to provide a room that as advertised, which would be safe, clean and have working amenities.
My hotel was completely booked. My room - $250/night Marriott - had a broken air conditioner. The hotel could not move us rooms and promised to compensate us. So I left and never received compensation because I booked through Priceline. I lost respect for Marriott who would take my money after letting me sweat in a room all night long (with children) and then use Priceline as a scapegoat to not fix the situation.

Over the past weekend we went to a family wedding four hours away and had booked the hotel through Priceline. We show up Friday at 4 pm to Knights Inn (the hotel we had booked weeks ago).. we were told that priceline had cancelled our reservation (we did not receive a refund or an email of this) and too bad because the hotel was now fully booked. We were on the phone with priceline for over an hour and a half and they basically said sorry and would refund us the money. We explained we didn’t want a refund. We wanted a hotel room for two nights that we had previously booked. They did not help us find a new hotel and basically just said, "Too bad. Figure it out on your own." I will never use Priceline again as the area was fully booked (busy city and it was a weekend) and the company was extremely rude and unhelpful even though it was THEIR fault they cancelled our reservation and didn’t have the courtesy to tell us or initially send a refund.

I had made a reservation for August 2021, due to circumstances, I had to cancel the package. Priceline reserved my airline ticket for another date. The date came. I called on October 14, 2021, to use my reserve ticket with United Airlines. Priceline did not notify me of the changes with the airline and Priceline. The customer service agent never received the new trip number, so Priceline never booked my reservation. I talked to 8 different agents, was placed on hold three times for more than 2 hours, and kept hanging up. I was put on hold many times by Priceline without being able to resolve my problem. I will make sure none of my family/ friends ever use Priceline. It is the worst experience I've ever had. I will never use this booking company ever. So disappointed and mad.

I stayed at a facility that Priceline introduced me to. Sadly, although Priceline made money off of me, their intent seems to be to side with the host facility on issues rather than protect consumers (THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION PROTECTS POSTINGS SUCH AS THIS i.e. THE CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT). Point: I stayed at a facility that was so enraged that I called Priceline and complained about broken elevators, no service, being harassed in the parking lot (I PAID FOR 3 DAYS...STAYED A DAY AND A PART OF A DAY...THEN COMPLAINED AND DEPARTED ALTHOUGH I KNEW I'D GET NO REFUND) that she kept my 100$ deposit.
Did she tell Priceline that I was disruptive or damaged items? No. She never mentioned one time that I was a problem. I recorded Jason (Priceline records their calls) Kansas being a one-party state. She just kept 100$ because she she felt like it. Priceline said they'd have manager call. No. They said I would receive emails. No. I'd suggest to the public that Priceline gets paid whether or not you are happy, sad, are harassed or cheater EVEN THOUGH PRICELINE INTRODUCES YOU TO THE FACILITY. Priceline.

The representatives were polite and did their best to provide the information they're obligated to give. I wish I could explain my situation better, but in short, my fiancé is being charged an unnecessary $186 for a rental car that won't even get used. I understand that there are policies in place, but having to call Priceline multiple times to adjust to military changes doesn't make the experience enjoyable. As a civilian, any form of on-base changes are out of my hands and I have no other choice but to go with the new schedule. Having to discuss "non-refundable" charges is the last thing I want to do when it comes to seeing my airman. I appreciate the good customer service, but I'm disappointed with Priceline's inability to accommodate fluctuating military family schedules.

I made a reservation to rent a car through Priceline. They asked for my debit card information which I provided assuming the charge would go through when I picked up the rental car. When I got to the rental agency, they refused to accept the debit card with which I made the reservation. Thrifty only accepts major credit cards. Since I could not rent the car, I was shocked to see the charge on my bank statement. I called both companies. Thrifty assured me that they could not receive payment since I hadn’t use their services. Priceline told me that they would not refund me even though the money would not be going to thrifty. In other words Priceline pocketed all of my money for no service in return. This was very deceptive, and I refuse to give my business to such a dishonest company in the future.

I booked a hotel through Priceline and when arriving in my room there was a roach. I immediately checked out of the room. I contacted Priceline which the refund process seemed very much a scam. I was told to record my name, answer a lot of questions, was connected to another Automated advertisement offer and he asked me to accept an offer from home protector plus which I declined. I was told to call another phone number after talking to this man for a half hour. He had a very deep Indian accent and when I asked for his contact information he told me his name was Michael **. And did not give me any further information.

A confirmed & paid for flight times were changed by the airline, allowing 35 connections at O’Hare making it impossible to manage & the airport for the connection is very small with limited incoming flights which means the flight would be missed. The airline cannot make any adjustments to a Priceline booked reservation, Priceline has refused to help in any way. They say I must go through the airline, the airline says I must go through the booking agent. Priceline says not to call them for any issues until the flight is 7 days away (I call a month away as it is a holiday time flight) however they tell me the schedule change was emailed 3 weeks before I called to have the changes imposed by the airline adjusted and Priceline says that their email is my acceptance of the change.
I am a VIP member and I will stop booking anything through Priceline. There are many other booking agencies or I will book through the airline or rental car company directly. Priceline has no customer service, does not honor their commitments and lies to the customer. In my situation there was no way I can do anything differently but I am being made to literally pay the price for other's actions.

Filed a complaint through my bank four months later to be told Priceline will not refund my money… Horrible service. You don’t get calls back. Avoid at all cost.

Last minute changes in plans necessitated my cancelling a three night hotel reservation. I called to do so the day before my stay and could not cancel any of the three nights. I could have accepted forfeiting one night, but to forfeit all three is certainly unreasonable. There was no clarity in my confirmation that the whole reservation would be non-refundable if I needed to cancel or change my reservation.

As a third-party agent for flights, hotels and rentals; you guys have a lot of things that need to be corrected for your business. It baffles me how you guys always say you have no control over credit, cancellation and or ticket change. You guys have us call the airlines to do all the work and then have the nerve to charge fees for policies because we had to call the airline direct because Priceline employees tell us "they have no control". You guys have a app, website and call center but your prices on the application & website are different and are for "new customers & new bookings only" which does not make sense on two parts because for one why are those prices considered for only new customers & new bookings but available to everyone and how the hell do you guys in the call center not see the same prices offered on website & app. Then what is the purpose of a VIP if it sucks???
I am disappointed that I had a credit of 193$ from May of 2021 & when trying to rebook you guys tell me you can't do a damn thing & I have to call the airline direct. You guys tried having me pay about 200$ with you to use my credit of 193$ and when called the airline direct I still had to come out of pocket 100$ for a damn fee per person oh for ticket change that you guys make us do with the airline direct because you guys "can't do not a thing".

I booked a trip through Priceline on October 1, 2021 and everything was going good until about a week later. I noticed additional charges from the airline so I contacted Priceline since I booked through them and they were very rude. The agent PHAT actually reviewed the charges and gave me the correct amount and when I asked about the additional charges she it’s not their problem and that I had better contact the airport and disconnected the call. And I called back to speak with a supervisor MIKE whom was rude from the beginning of the call and then he muted his phone so I held on a silent line for 10 minutes before he disconnected the call. This is very unprofessional. I will never book with them again.

So it was going to be my family's 1st family vacation out of state, and we wanted to fly, (and would be our first flight as well). Not only does this service tell you that details are not available until after you purchase the package, but it only gives you 24 hours to cancel. Ok, so that part we understood, however we bought an insurance package as well should something happen during the trip or prior that would make the trip not happen (which mind you is an additional couple hundred).
First issue, I had to call the airline directly due to the seats not being together, they had a toddler and its parents all sitting in separate seating (because they don't give you the option to choose your seating in the plane), I had called Priceline and they told me (after waiting about an hour to get a representative mind you) that I had to call the airlines representative to change my seating (and promptly hung up right afterwards). So after doing that still separate seating but at least the toddler was seated with one of the parents.
Second issue, had rented a car for the week as well, which according to Priceline the car was supposed to be supplied at the airport after the flight. WRONG. Flight was an evening flight, which would not arrive until approx 12:30 am.... the said rental would only be available at the dealership 12 hours later for pick up. Same issue at the end of the trip... would have to drop the car off at said dealership even though the flight was an evening flight. So in all, package stated prior to purchasing that said car was supplied and delivered as soon as flight arrived, and could deliver prior to flight leaving... FALSE.
Third and final issue. Due to medical reasons, we had to cancel the vacation, and instead of Priceline telling us, "No problem," we had to personally call each service ourselves, and Priceline is also fighting us about a refund (which Insurance plainly states for medical documented reasons can be fully refunded). In all, I highly highly recommend if you are looking for a getaway for your family, take the extra five minutes and don't use this service. If you do, I hope you have a lawyer ready and court fees available.

I booked an Express Deal on Priceline, which I’ve done numerous times before. This time they charged over $170 in fees, and did not detail what these fees were. I assumed they covered the daily fee of the hotel, since that was what these fees were on the past. However, that was not the case this time. Priceline has become very sneaky, and when I discussed this with them, I was told I should have read the fine print. I feel Priceline can’t be trusted since I don’t want to be obligated to do that.

Expedia.com, Booking.com, SAS Airline and Icelandair Airline are COVID-friendly and helpful with rescheduling the flights and hotels. I will NOT recommend you to use Priceline.com which is the worst one and they refused to reschedule our one flight inside Norway. I waited for Priceline.com for 2 hours and then it was disconnected. I called again and its automatic answering machine asked for my phone number. That was last summer. I waited for them to answer back which never happened. It was done twice.
Recently I called and left my phone number again. I finally got the call from Priceline and they said, "Sorry, your credits were expired last January." I explained that we couldn't enter Canada for our flights from Toronto to Oslo as well as Norway due to the COVID restrictions. Then the person hung up on me. Priceline was rude. Expedia.com, Booking.com and SAS Airline responded fast in one call and they accepted the extensions which helped us a lot. I recommend you not to use Priceline.com.

I immediately reported it to Priceline. Was told that I would be given a refund within 24 hours. Mind you this part of the conversation is via chat, so it’s a paper trail. I provided video of the room as well.
While following up a day later just to confirm that my refund was processed after being on hold for 30+mins while they “review the account“ the rep gets back to the chat advising me to contact “Customer relations”. Which I did. After speaking with a rep who literally done nothing had me listen to him type for 15 min while he “so called looked at the notes on acct." I then requested a supervisor. Was told I would be transferred to a sup. Once the “supervisor“ got on the line. I confirmed that she was a supervisor. Which she was not. Reps name: Rose kept me on the line for 45 mins. After she confirmed that she was able to see the chat where I was told a refund would be processed. She is unable to honor the refund without first speaking with the hotel.

Under no circumstances would I recommend anyone to book travel with Priceline. Priceline has owed me a refund for two international flights since June, and they have used typical chicanery to avoid refunding me the money. In June, I used Priceline to purchase two tickets to Kenya on Emirates air for August. Unfortunately, I had to cancel due to work. The issue is not the airline- I have used Emirates for multiple flights and have always received full a full refund in less than 1 week. When I called to complain in August, the Priceline representative apologized profusely for me not receiving the refund and said that she would put my case in a priority category.
Two months later, I have not received anything. I have called Priceline multiple times since and made no headway in receiving my refund. For example, I called this morning. The first agent confirmed that Priceline had received the refund from Emirates months ago, then passed my call to a "manager." I re-explained the situation for the umpteenth time to the manager, who told me that I would be on hold for "a few" minutes while he looked up the information again. After being on hold for 45 minutes, the call was terminated by Priceline. This is a very obvious instance of a very typical and dishonest stalling technique. Priceline is clearly hoping that I will eventually give up and let them keep over $1000 of my money. I don't know what possessed me to book with Priceline instead of directly with the airline, but I won't make that mistake again.

While on the phone with the Priceline representative I booked a car with Budget rental car for $560 for the same dates adding up to a week. The representative was informed by the Budget representative they were out of cars as well by but would give me the last car available. I submitted my receipt as informed by Priceline that they should refund me the difference. To later be told by Priceline they are not refunding me because it was a different vehicle. So I paid $560 to rent a overpriced car for one week. Companies should be ashamed of themselves for taking advantage of customers especially during a crisis such as a hurricane.

However when we selected a hotel and went to the payment page an error pop up on the website said "This deal you have selected is no longer available. Please select another." We did so and paid for that hotel. No confirmation was sent until 3 hours later to our email. Then 7 minutes after receiving that confirmation we received a second confirmation for the first deal we attempted to pay for, the price breaking deal- the one that we were told was unavailable. So then we were double booked. Two hotels on the same night in the same town. This was a system error. We called customer service and explained. After 40 minutes with a representative we were told there was nothing he could do. We asked to speak to a manager, he said he would transfer us and after waiting another 15 minutes the call was dropped.
We then called again. Same thing, after 20 minutes we were told they could not do anything. We asked again to speak to a supervisor, the supervisor said they needed to call the hotels and ask if they could refund us, we were told they called the hotels and the hotels said no and there was nothing we could do about it. We told the supervisor in detail how this was an error on priceline's system and we were being double charged. We were not asking to cancel both. We were asking for a refund in the pricebreaking deal that should have never been charged. What was suppose to be a nice getaway turned into an expensive night of tears with no resolution or apology or offer to help from priceline. We will not be using priceline moving forward and will book directly with hotels. We will share our experience as well with all our friends and family to caution them of priceline's customer service.

The hotel has not made any charges to my account and have confirmed that if a refund is issued it must be issued through Priceline. Priceline customer service representatives are not actually giving solutions, they are clearly reading off of a script and giving out empty apologize. I have requested an email address for Priceline customer service and was told these issues can only be handled via “bot Agent” or phone rep.

When I called them they let me wait on the line for about 20 minutes to see what they can do and he said that he is talking with his supervisor to see what’s the best offer that he can give me but he ended up transferring me to another customer service representative and then they hanged up, and I called again but after waiting on the line for more than 40 minutes they told me that I have to pay a penalty which is basically the price of the first night.
My question is why they didn’t told me that from the beginning instead of leaving me on the line? It is obvious that Priceline doesn’t care about the customers at all. I would advise everyone that is thinking to use this website to think twice before and use a website that has a free cancellation anytime and with a better customer service.

When I got to the hotel in September for my trip, I was told by the hotel that no rooms were available without doing an upgrade. How can a room that you booked not be available?
Afterwards, when I reached out to Priceline to ask them why a room was not available, they called the hotel. The hotel made up a lie about telling me that there were no rooms available at that moment. In fact, the Palazzo hotel directly stated to me that there were no rooms available and did not give me an option to wait around for another room to open up. Instead they told me that I would need to upgrade. Priceline took the word of the hotel over their customers and said that because the hotel told me there were rooms available, they were not going to honor the original pricing by provided by Priceline.

I contacted them daily to make sure I wasn't forgotten. Because they decided to drag their feet I am out 265 dollars for a hotel that I didn't and couldn't use. ]
This money is rightfully mine and I know that I could sue them for this. If I didn't send them proof, it would be understandable. I sent them proof of his results and of our quarantine order per the county I live in. I will never deal with this company ever again and I suggest that no one else does as well. They are thieves and crooks. They could care less about the health and safety of others. I was told to still use our reservation. But I am not a piece of crap who wants to pass around this crappy and deathly illness. Do not use Priceline.

We have booked flights to international travel which includes for 4 flights. American airline has cancelled flight from Seattle to international destination. We got to know from American after calling them. No information came from Priceline. Priceline Itinerary continues to show cancelled flight. American mentioned that Priceline has to reroute. We called so far 15 time to Priceline and has not gone beyond automatic message. It says connecting to Agent and message of contact before seven days of travel and call gets hung up. If that happens would make tickets double. Original ticket is more than $1000. If Priceline is not able support customer service why they should be booking tickets and take money?

Horrible customer service. Be prepared, they will not honor their cancellation policy due to COVID. We called to cancel our booking with plenty of time (via their cancellation policy). The customer service representative said they will need to call the hotel to make sure they can refund us. They said we will receive a call back once everything is confirmed. Doesn’t matter what the conversation is with the hotel and Priceline, Priceline’s cancellation policy notes a refund will be issued as long as it’s done within the given time. After waiting 4 days and letting the given cancellation time lapse, we receive an email stating they can’t offer a refund or even a credit. Called and talked to a rep for a half an hour. Same story. They literally said “I know what you're currently seeing on your screen but we cannot honor that at this time”. Beware, there’s a good chance you will not be refunded…

We called Priceline and they said no problem for the refund but they needed to speak to the hotel to confirm. After around a MONTH of back and forth, the hotel would NEVER answer the phone and it would just keep ringing and ringing. Priceline finally got ahold of them over a month later for them to LIE and say we no-showed. Now they will not give us a refund. Horrible business practices. Completely lying to Priceline.

I asked Priceline to change my flight and they denied it. I stated clearly I'm not looking for a refund but yet a new destination. I also informed Priceline that my ticket was listed as changeable before my purchase. I asked for a supervisors email so I could send the screenshot to them for proof. The email they provided me is false. I had them repeat it 4 times and I repeated it 2 times for reassurance and clarity. They have yet to return my call or respond via email. They also have not responded to my survey I filled out that they sent me.
In the survey Priceline wants to rate the individual representative on their level professionalism and level of sympathy. Priceline needs to be removed as a 3rd party airline company if they do not own what they advertise. The so called "Leaders" in Priceline need to learn to lead by example and be able to adjust properly to these situations instead of disciplining the frontline members for upholding their ** policies. If you are going to rate your employees on being professional and being sympathetic, Priceline as a whole needs to be held at that standard. At this point it's not even business conducted. It's a strong presentation of ZERO professionalism and ZERO sympathy as a whole. Priceline needs to make this right. It's no longer about the money, it is the principle. Until Priceline takes action to correct this, I will continue to make sure everyone is aware of the false advertising they have provided. This is not a threat, this is me being sure many other paying individuals do not invest their hard earned money to an establishment with ZERO customer service skills.

Well, lo-and-behold, our flights were royally messed up again (thankfully we checked well before we were supposed to fly home). They had somehow managed to change our flights from St. Thomas to Portland (original) to San Juan to Portland. For those who don't know, St. Thomas is in the US Virgin Islands which does not require a passport for US citizens, and San Juan is in Puerto Rico which does require a passport. We literally had no way to even get to San Juan to return home. I don't understand how this could even happen.
We contacted Priceline customer service to try to change the flight to the original or similar St. Thomas to Portland flights. We waited on hold for over an hour while they attempted to find us other flights. While on hold, we decided to try to find flights on our end. We found several acceptable flights in a matter of minutes. Due to the ineptitude of the Priceline customer service employees, we decided to pursue a cancellation and refund instead of rescheduling the flights (especially since they were apparently unable to find any flights from St. Thomas on the day of our departure), and book our own flights home directly through the airline. After being on hold, multiple transfers, and being hung up on by Priceline customer service over a 4 hour period (while on our honeymoon) we finally were able to start the cancellation process.

I’ve never been so disappointed in a service. I rented a car for my sister after she was in a horrible car accident in VA. While she deaIt with ambulances, police and tow trucks I was on what I thought was the Budget rental site. She picked it up at Dulles around 9PM 8/30 and drove through the night to get to NY early in the morning on 8/31. After a few hours of sleep she worked with her insurance company and they use Enterprise so she dropped mine off around 3pm on 8/31. I waited a few days for the unused days to be refunded but hadn’t heard anything so I started calling Priceline customer service.
After untold hours and 17 reps (one of whom was appallingly rude- Natalie **) I was informed in no uncertain terms that I would get no refund, no credit, no nothing for the 8 unused days and that there was absolutely no recourse for me other than small claims court in CT. Fine print is everything and people mean nothing. I will happily pay more to use absolutely any other service for the rest of my life. **This is absolutely no reflection on Budget who was very helpful and agreed that if Priceline released my booking info they would reimburse me. Also a resounding no.

My hotel reservation was done by an "express deal" from Priceline in which you don't know the hotel until you pay in advance; however, in my case, they guaranteed that the hotel will belong to one of 6 major Chain Hotels. The hotel that was confirmed to me by Priceline didn't belong to those chain hotels as they offer in the guarantee. I called and explain the issue to two agents from Customer Service and they didn't recognize the issue and didn't solve the problem.

Made a reservation, company's website bumped it to the next day as it past midnight when I made the reservation. Was driving, it was late, bringing my brother's remains home so he can be with his family. Called 3 times to cancel reservation and 2 times were told reservation canceled. Expect refund of "said amount". Checked again as no refund posted, was told your refund is $0. As you canceled reservation with the 24 hr period. Very disappointed in this company's way it handles it business. Think twice before making a reservation. Don't do it close to midnight or you might get screwed too.

The first experience I had was a hotel room. We were exhausted from traveling. Woke to realize we had been sleeping in sheets with blood all over them and not from us. Second experience reserved a room with King sized suite. End up with a subpar room with a queen bed. We were going to a concert and there was no other rooms available since we accepted it. We were offered no customer service at all when we called. We were still charged for the more expensive room. No compensation. Nothing! Last and final time I will ever use them. I arranged a car rental then dates were changed. I have arranged many rental cars but not like thru them. Non refundable, non changeable. Which is completely absurd for a rental car. So I was stuck paying for a rental car I will not use. Read the details on everything. This place is a scam. They will not help you at all. Don't let them steal your money.

DO NOT USE EXPRESS DEAL!!! It's a lie! You WILL BE charged the same price that's already listed on their site. Express Deal = Priceline chooses the hotel for you. You have NO idea what hotel you will get. You are led to believe that it's going to be a better deal than what is on their website. SURPRISE!!! IT IS NOT!!! I booked a hotel 2+ weeks ahead of time by using Express Deal. I chose the shaded area on the Priceline map. Once I clicked accept, it gave me a hotel out of the shaded area about 10 miles southwest. Not where I wanted to stay and it was a 2 star hotel! Also, the cost of the hotel in the "Express Deal" was the SAME EXACT PRICE on their website!
I called customer service 5 times total. 2 times on the same night of reservation and 3 times the day prior to checking in, because I was advised to call 24 hours prior to check in, by the representative that I spoke to the first time. Customer service NEVER helped me. In fact the last one I spoke to said that it looked like the prior representative had said I wanted to cancel my reservation! At NO TIME did I say I wanted to cancel my reservation. All I said was, I wanted a discount because of their website be misleading. Bottom line: it wasn't an Express Deal at all! DO NOT USE EXPRESS DEAL!!!

I paid a few extra dollars on my Priceline hotel reservation for cancelation protection. After taking payment Priceline sent the information for my reservation including cancelation policy. Turns out that I have to cancel one day before check in. I tried to cancel more than 24 hrs before check in time and still I was charged a full days stay as penalty. Furthermore I couldn't even keep the first day and cancel the second day, more than 48 hours ahead without canceling the entire reservation and incurring a 50% penalty on my hotel charges. With Priceline a day is apparently more than 24 hours. And the customer service discouraged speaking to the next level of supervision; putting me off to receive a later call that never came. Here I'm a "VIP" member. I'm done with Priceline.

Entered a hotel lottery where 2 hotels were good and the third marginal based on reviews. Of course you get the loser hotel. I called Priceline to complain and they refused to do anything. The hotel, Super 8 by Wyndham Twin Peaks, Longmont Colorado was a terrible hotel with a lying owner who refused to authorize a refund. The hotel had no elevator, no Covid 19 protocol, no staff were wearing masks, the room was dirty and dated, towels thin and worn, carpet worn with burn holes and the parking lot was scary with drug dealer looking people and homeless people with shopping carts hanging around. Do not stay there or use Priceline. Any time I used Expedia, they made good on a bad hotel. Not the same with Priceline. Avoid the bait and switch tactics they use.

We thought we were getting a good deal. We bought the tickets, bought the insurance, were vaccinated, checked all the travel restrictions... We were so excited to celebrate our anniversary in the state where we were married 16 years ago. Too bad the governor of Hawaii said for all travelers to suspend travel unless absolutely necessary. This is something out of our control. But Priceline won't make any exceptions. The airline can't. The insurance doesn't cover it. WE are out $800 and do not plan to EVER use PRICELINE again.

Most recent booking had us in Baymont in Denver. Priceline app showed the king deluxe room as having a refrigerator and a microwave in the room. Checked in - no microwave or refrigerator. Went down to the front desk, none of their rooms have these things. Called priceline - the first person told me "well the website lists that as a hotel amenity not a room amenity". I didn't book through the website. I booked through the app, and I have a screenshot that shows the "ROOM AMENITIES" for this room lists them. I'm passed off to another person who tells me they can't guarantee the room matched what I reserved and prepaid for, even though it is listed with these things.

I booked a round trip with Priceline and had issues on both ways. My recent return trip got postponed and Priceline didn't even notify me. Now, I have to book a hotel for another day and bear all the hotel & food expenses. Since I'm traveling during Covid, it's a must that I have to carry a valid RT-PCR test. I got a covid test. Since my flight got postponed, that covid test will become invalid. If only priceline had notified me, I could have postponed my covid test too. Now I have to pay higher price and get another covid test. 'Using covid as an excuse for bad customer care is not a good excuse'. "Covid won't last forever, but the bad impression and disappointment Priceline is creating will last forever". I called Priceline customer care too, but I didn't receive any services, not even a response. Why should I allow my community to consider Priceline for services? Highly disappointing.

So I booked a motel with Priceline for the first time a few days ago do you days before I left for my trip. When I talk to the booking agent I specifically said I'd like a motel with a pool. This is my daughters and I first vacation out and she wanted to go swimming and hang out in a motel pool. We even left a day early so she could spend the day swimming and whatnot. We get to this motel and I can tell right away. There's not going to be a swimming pool. It looks like one of them cheaper run down motels. And of course they didn't have a pool and their continental breakfast is a granola bar in a bag for you and half burnt coffee.
Our room was just horrible. Red stains on the bedsheets. The room smells so bad because I'm guessing they left the AC on the entire time so it just felt wet and it stank. I mean the walls were literally peeling off of this. We found dirty shirts and clothes in between the bed and the wall when we were fixing the blankets. This is not what I had in mind when I booked the motel. Not at all. I am one hundred percent upset about this situation. I had reserved for us to stay one more night here but that's not going to happen. I will pay the extra money to get in a comfortable Motel. This is our first vacation. It's what I wanted. I am contacting Priceline today. They will hopefully make this right with me booking another motel so I guess we will see but they need to do a better job making sure these motels are adequate for kids and not have drug dealers standing all over and have the amenities the person wants.

I booked a room through Priceline at Baymont Inn and Suites in Colorado Springs, CO. I called Priceline because the hotel told me in order to get a refund I had to go through them. I emailed the GM I. writing to request a full refund. We had to leave your facility due to poor health and safety conditions I.e. bloodstained bedding, stains on couch and insecure bathroom sink. I am absolutely horrified and will never stay at a Baymont again.
Upon my arrival on August 25th my family and I checked in with Emily around 6pm. According the Priceline checkin was at 3pm. We were told the room wasn’t ready at that time, it was being cleaned as we speak. We decided to grab dinner and come back an hour and half later to room 304. When we came back there was no toilet paper nor towels. I took my daughter to the main floor bathroom and stalled were locked and it appeared that someone barfed all over one stall. I went back down to Emily and she apologized and provided towels and two rolls of toilet paper.
I then went back upstairs to get ready to lay down and notice bloodstain on the sheets of both beds! I walked back downstairs and told Emily to cancel our room. We will not be staying in an unsanitary room. I don’t even care if it was dried blood gross-plus there was hairs all over the bedding. I have pictures included of all this. In addition the room was all beat up and the tub was dirty.
I called Priceline who said there was no number to call the hotel. The customer service rep was from India and had poor communication skills. Their website had the number to the hotel. She said that I would have to wait until Priceline calls the hotel and wait to see if the hotel wants to provide the refund. I asked for a supervisor named Anna. This women was dreadful and tried to offer me 20% off my NEXT booked if I would stay In a room that was unsatisfactory. I asked for her manager to which I was provided a case number and I have to wait for a manager to call me. This company needs to be closed.
A note about the hotel as well. The front desk women Emily when I showed her the pictures said, "Oh it’s dried blood. No worries." I also recommend customer service training and hotel housekeeping training. I had to book another hotel because of these conditions. I have also cc’d the local health department to make them aware of the unsafe conditions.

I booked a round trip through Priceline from Boston to Budapest and back. I showed up at the airport at 4 am for my 7:25 flight back to Boston, just to find out that it had been cancelled a month ago. Priceline was notified of this cancellation but failed to contact me regarding this cancellation. I even received a confirmation email the day before my original flight plan telling me to check in. Furthermore, the online platform had not updated whatsoever and still had my original itinerary listed, despite being cancelled over a month ago. With flights being cancelled on a regular basis due to Covid, one might think that a company of this size would do a better job at letting their customers know of any changes in flights. This is not the case with Priceline. When I called customer service they made me wait over 2 hours just to tell me that there was nothing they could do. I will never use this service again.

On 08/20/2021, My wife and I had to travel to Syracuse, NY. We had to book a hotel room at the last minute. We tried to book a room on priceline.com while we were driving but internet was fluctuating so my wife called Priceline. She spoke to Jay and she particularly asked, "Is this the cheapest room available" and he said, "Definitely yes." When internet became available in the service area we checked on priceline.com and the same room in the same hotel was available for $104.00 while Jay gave us for $142.00 which is a deceiving action.
We called back to priceline.com and spoke to Arthur. After explaining the situation he was willing to give us 10 % discount while we were insistent to get same price which was on priceline.com. Arthur put me on hold for long time and came back to tell me that his manager approved same price which was online and he put me on hold to work on it. Since we were driving so call dropped and I called back and Jay came back on line and he told him whole story but he said that Arthur didn't leave documentation and he offered 10% discount again with attitude of take it or leave it. I was really disappointed with priceline.com customer service and on top of that priceline.com told us free breakfast which hotel completely refused.
