    Purchased tickets to Vancouver, received confirmation email and they did not put all the name information in. Called to correct and they wanted $30 to correct name even though it was correct when purchased. Then getting pre boarding pass off Delta site name is spelled even more incorrect if that is possible. Again they refuse to correct without a fee. I spent over 2 hours on hold waiting for a supervisor who never picked up. Spoke with Delta and they stated there is no charge for correcting the spelling of a name only if you are changing the actual passenger, so yes fraud on Priceline's part.

    The worse company I have even seen or heard in my life - do not ever use it. I rented a car from them for my son and daughter in law, plane was defective and delayed several hours, they got to Baltimore about 4 hr late, at 12:05 am. Counter closed at 12 but the guy was still there, however he refused to give them the car, he said, "Now I go home", though my son pleaded with him. I called Priceline, they said that my son and daughter could "sleep in the airport until next day and then they get a car." I asked for a refund so we could rent a car from Hertz that was still open, they refused. We paid again, got a car from Hertz.

    I called Priceline next day for a refund since we never got the car and we paid Hertz. The lady refused, I talked to a manager, she said she will investigate and if the plane was late and we never took the car I will get reimbursed. Though I had the proof that we never got the car, that reservation was canceled, we did not pick up the car, yet I never got reimbursed. I called them uncounted times, they were rude and refused to reimburse the amount. Absolutely terrible customer service, they do not care for customers.

    We booked on Priceline and the flight was cancelled and they couldn't put us on another. We called and e-mailed for refunds. Each time they ask for lots of information, promise to send refund and never do. Have been through 15 calls, 15 promises and no refund.

    I have a family of five. I selected a hotel room based upon the choices of floor plans that would accommodate my family size (options were standard room and family suite). When I checked into hotel, I received a standard room which would only accommodate 4 people. I paid more on the Priceline site for the family suite which I did not receive. Customer service at Priceline was horrible and made no apology nor did they offer any solution. Priceline suggested that I make arrangements with the hotel for a larger room. The hotel offered a larger room for an upcharge of $20-30/night. I could have booked directly on the hotel site for this additional fee from the start but chose Priceline to get a better deal. It appears that this is a scam from Priceline who falsely advertises and misleads customers. What a shame! I'll never be a customer again and feel deceived by Priceline.

    I accidentally double booked for my wife and was at the very hotel while I was trying to figure out how I could either salvage or save $1500 worth of expenses. The hotel was willing to work with me but not PRICELINE. They said no to a future credit, no to cancellation, no to cancellation with penalty, no no no... Thank goodness BOOKING.COM actually canceled their reservation without any hassle or questions other than checking with the hotel. Never again will I use PRICELINE for anything and I travel frequently in my industry. Let’s not mention that PRICELINE wasn’t the cheaper rate as well. Therefore thanks to BOOKING.COM I’m only losing $450 versus $1500.

    I hate writing bad reviews, but I feel people should be aware what a negative experience business with Priceline is. Consistently. I'm traveling to upstate NY with my boyfriend and offered to make the reservation for a rental car while we are there. I wanted to pay with my credit card, but since its his hometown he would be driving. When I made the reservation, Priceline's website said that the driver name has to match the name on the credit card. So, following their instructions, I put in my name and figured I could work with the rental car company or Priceline to ensure the correct driver was on the reservation when it came time to use the car.

    I called Hertz and they said they were unable to change the reservation because I booked through Priceline. So I called Priceline and they said because I booked a reservation where I paid in advance it was non-changeable and I could not make any updates to my reservation, even a name change. Their only solutions were 1) Add a driver through Hertz at the counter even though only one of us intended to drive (and this would cost us nearly $150 more for our trip) or 2) pay $34 to cancel this reservation and book a new one, which reservations were now more expensive to rebook. They refused to acknowledge that their poor instructions forced me to put my name in the reservation and would do nothing to help resolve the issue. I cancelled the reservation and booked through Orbitz, which still cost more but Priceline will never get another dime from me.

    I should have known better after my sister and I had a poor experience with Priceline when we booked a trip to Bali several months ago. Our airline cancelled the flight but because we booked through Priceline, they notified Priceline of the change. Priceline was supposed to notify us of the flight cancellation and help us rebook something else. Priceline never told us our flight was cancelled and we only found out in happenstance 10 days before our trip when my sister called to add our known traveler ID info to the reservation and they told us the flight no longer existed (and hadn't for over a month!). We were left scrambling to find new flights that ended up costing almost twice as much booking so close to our trip.

    After several calls with the airline and Priceline, we were able to confirm that Priceline was aware the entire time our flight was cancelled but they never told us, because they were hoping they could find another airline to rebook rather than risk us cancelling the Priceline reservation due to the cancelled flight. Their delay cost us a lot of money in finding replacement flights, and had my sister not called, who knows if or when they would have notified us of the flight cancellation. Priceline consistently puts their customers in a bad position, forces you to spend more money to correct their mistakes, and does nothing to help you when you are in need of their assistance. Fool me twice, shame on me. Lesson learned. I will NEVER use Priceline again.

    First let me say that I was an avid Priceline customer however my daughter and I booked a 3 star hotel in Paris for 5 nights. I could have lived with the lampshades held together by scotch tape, stained carpets and tattered curtains, but NOT with the front desk handing out room keys to anyone who asked. We were asked to leave our room key at the desk whenever we left the hotel. When we returned there was always a new person at the desk (one we hadn't seen before), we simply asked for room 34 and they handed us the key. Never asked for identification or even our last name.

    On the second night, there wasn't anyone at the desk and we leaned over and got the key ourselves. I travel a lot and have never felt so unsafe in a hotel before. We left after two nights, went to another hotel and asked Priceline to refund the remainder of our stay. They will not. I am extremely disappointed in Priceline and their disregard for customer safety. Needless to say, I will never use Priceline again.

    I booked my hotel room through Priceline and on their website it clearly says that the rooms accommodate 1 child below 18 years old. When I booked I received an email that the maximum occupancy of the room is 2 and they don't have any accommodation for the child, not even a rollover bed. I called Priceline but they are not helpful and instead, they just hung up with no help provided. That will be the last time I am using Priceline and I recommend anyone using it to not trust the website as they are misleading and cheating customers with incorrect information.

    Rented a car thru Alamo from Priceline. The agreement was a rental for 5 days. When I went to pick up the car I found out I didn't really need it anymore. I then asked the Alamo employee what it would cost me if I never rented OR I rented and returned it early. She told me I would only be charged for the time I rented it. I brought the car back after 5 hours and PRICELINE charged me for 5 DAYS. I called them and they said, "Too bad."

    A Hawaii vacation but with Priceline turned into an everlasting nightmare. Book a Hawaii vacation with Priceline for the 1st time and will be the last. We paid in full in March, traveled in August. Had to cut our trip short due to Hurricane Lane. Came home and was shocked to see a $1,500 charged on our account from them. We were told the flight change was free due to the weather. Even United Airlines waived all fees to get people out of Hawaii.

    Called Priceline and they couldn’t find that $1,500 charge on my account anywhere. They blamed our credit card. They told us they couldn’t refund because they didn’t charge. So we filed a dispute with our credit card and guess what? Priceline is fighting the charge. Saying it was our Hawaii vacation. We paid over $3,500 for our vacation in full months ago (for 2 people). Somehow now they found the charge and still don’t know what it was for but they don’t want to refund us or agree with the chargeback. I swear if I could give them a -10000 stars, I would. They’re a nightmare. I’m planning on calling BBB and the Attorney General on them. It has been over a month and we’re still dealing with this.

    Just stay away from this crappy company. I’ve used other travel agencies and had no problem whatsoever. What the heck was I thinking booking a nightmare with Priceline??? I don’t care if they’re 50% less or even free, I’d never travel with them again. Not to mention they told me to book the trip then add travel insurance (it wasn’t available when I was booking). Called to add insurance they said I had 5 minutes after booking to add insurance but since I was on hold for more than 10 minutes, the time had passed. WTF. ????

    Really frustrated with Priceline and won’t use this cheating website anymore. In short, Priceline is selling cheap Light-class tickets to customers as if they were Economy-class tickets without telling the truth. Below is the true story: I recently booked the so-call ECONOMY class tickets for my family on Priceline, one with Alitalia and the other with Air France, which were actually all LIGHT class. Therefore, I had to pay additional and unexpected baggage fees at the airports. Below is the baggage policy listed by Priceline about Air France and Alitalia: **. And below is the baggage policy listed by the official websites of Air France and Alitalia: **.

    So LIGHT is a category of ECONOMY class according to Air France, while LIGHT is a different one other than ECONOMY according to Alitalia. And you need to pay additional fees for check-in baggages if you have a LIGHT-class ticket. But in NONE of the email confirmations I received from Priceline there is a word LIGHT. Tried to contact the customer support of Priceline which refused to admit their mistake or provide any help. How does a lying company even deserve any star?

    This is the last time I use Priceline. I booked a room only to find it was in USD. I'm in Canada booking a hotel in Canada and at no time during the booking process was it made clear that it was in USD! Only when I received the bill I found out it was the case in the small print and in the actual price charged! They're underhanded in so many ways. They'll quote a price for a room then when you go to pay for it they up the price. That's been frustrating. I kept going back because it had the air of being the least expensive route, but I was just caught in a game they were playing with me of bait and switch. This is the last straw for me. I'm done.

    I used Priceline to book a hotel for a recent trip to Lake Tahoe. There were many issues: 1) Priceline is actually a front for Booking.com - consequently, the reservation did not actually make it to the hotel and as a result the room was double booked, fortunately there was another vacant room that we could get into. 2) It was very hard to contact Priceline/Booking.com and the representative was not courteous or helpful, so we wasted about 2 hours trying to settle things. 3) Priceline/Booking.com charged a "hotel fee" of $50 on a total room charge of $285 - outrageous, other sites do not have such fees and the quoted rates more accurately reflect the actual room rates. I have heard similar stories from other people. You are risking your vacation and your money if you use this site.

We walked in and I was immediately gagged by the strong cigarette smoke smell (I'm a non smoker and requested a non smoking room), and the sleazy man behind the counter was rude and disgusting. There was a sign posted that the building had been inspected and didn't require a sprinkler system.

    Priceline advertise their promos are LIES!! I booked a hotel through Priceline because it had mentioned that we will get a free parking on our stay. When we arrive at the hotel, the hotel said it doesn't provide free parking even with Priceline. Since the day we arrive there until the next day when we check out, we were communicating with Priceline about the issue. They know it was their fault and they "tried" to pay the valet for the hotel but every time the hotel front desk help them, they were never successful. It is just $40! How does a big company like you can't cover it because it was your own mistake!!

    So we were on the phone with them when we are checking out because the hotel won't release our car if it's not paid, after almost 2 hours!!, the hotel decided to cover for us first and let us continue our trip. Couple days after the trip, the hotel charged us the valet fee which we thought were already covered by Priceline! This is totally unacceptable. They lied in their promotions, when we told them about it (we kept a copy of the original receipt), they quickly changed it online and my email receipt doesn't have the free parking (good thing we printed out the first time). That is shady! And after almost 2 months, they still haven't resolved this issue. What kind of company does that?

    Relying on previous experience with Priceline's 24-hour cancellation policy, I decided to try and save $20 by booking an express deal. It appeared I had to book it to see what time it departed. I ended up with a booking to go see my dying father-in-law at a time of day that would have required my husband to take an extra vacation day. And all customer service could say on the first call was, "I'm sorry, you've booked a non-refundable flight." I'm glad they record their conversations so IF anyone CARES they will hear how utterly disgusted I am with how unclear the web process is about this, and the deep certainty in my voice when I told them this experience means I will NEVER use Priceline again.

    Shortly there was a message to call them back... so I did. After being shamed for not knowing that express deals were nonrefundable, I was finally allowed to cancel the booking for a $15 fee. Which I did. Okay, customer "service" there was probably something in small print somewhere so you're *legally* correct, I'm sure. But I got no points for not flying frequently and not immediately knowing these things.

    The rep was so short with me and implied I was the problem for being upset (apparently I interrupted her while she was trying to charge me $15 to "help" me), that I actually went back to the website to see if my distress over my father-in-law's illness had led me to miss something obvious. NOT! Even if you scroll down the page, there is NOTHING about what you are clicking toward being non-refundable. This is FAR from consumer-friendly. Priceline, I will now never forget that express deals are nonrefundable- but it doesn't matter since I won't be booking with you again. Is it better to be right or have a repeat customer?

    I did a reservation of three days at the Disney all star movies resort from August 13-15th, and for a preferred room (closest room to the pool or restaurant or lobby) but when I got to the hotel I changed the room to a standard type, the person at the front desk told that because of that downgrade I should get a refund of about $60. I did contact Priceline but they answered that the room I got was a two-bedroom like if it was a preferred room type and there was nothing they could do about it.

    After two calls and ten email exchanges, the answer was the same. They gave me a name for a person that supposedly worked at Disney's billing service, which I tried to contact of course, without finding her in the end. So I took the case with another Disney representative and the latter answered through email that indeed there was a room downgrade and I should get a refund. I used the same answer and send it back to Priceline, which replied the same response: "We cannot do anything forward". Reading all the cases exposed in ConsumerAffairs makes me wonder how does the United States let a business like Priceline run with fraudulent operations scamming clients across the globe. My recommendation would be to do reservations directly from the vendors instead of using Priceline.

They completely misrepresented the call acting like they were "Their Properties". Don't use this company. They overcharged me for the stay. This company has no integrity at all.

    I recently booked a 4 night room through Priceline.com because it was advertised as the cheapest price and “free cancellation.” Well 2 hours later I ended up canceling the rooms because we were unsure about the trip and they ended up charging me a fee of $100.24. I had to chat with customer service because you can’t talk with anyone over the phone and said that their “free cancellation” promotion ended the day before, which makes absolute no sense. Why would they have a promo if it ended the day before? Total scam!!! I will never book anything through them again!

    We paid $116.97 total to Priceline hotel who told us it is a 3.5 star hotel, but the hotel is so run down & trash, paint is chipped, dirty stain on carpet, trash on the hallway and everywhere. We trust priceline.com over 20 years, so we did not cross check on the Yelp. We could not sleep all night and got up 6am to pack and leave that nasty and dirty hotel.

    I purchased a five day vacation package through Priceline as celebration for being cancer free. When I received confirmation, Priceline changed one of the flights to a later time. I called Priceline, spent over an hour with them on the phone and they kept saying there is nothing they can do. They said I would need to cancel the reservation and rebook it. They assured me there would be no cost to cancel. That is not true. Once they cancelled, I found out I was still charged. I spoke to Priceline again. They said that since I cancelled, I would be charged as the trip was non-refundable. I told them they told me to cancel, assured me I would not be charged, and to rebook the trip. They said they cannot refund the cost because the rules say... They ruined this trip for me. It was supposed to be a celebration and turned out to be filled with stress. I am now out the cost and no trip to go on. This company is horrendous. They do not care... just take your money.

    Tried to book online and failed several times. During the process I was asked to key in my year of birth. I did so and something in the transaction failed. As each instance failed (Priceline will ask 3 times) an authorization charge was placed on my credit card. I called customer service and they were not helpful as all they see is the end result of the transaction. In this case a failure to key in my year of birth. So to give them the benefit of the doubt I tried using another card. Same issue (did not try 3 times again). There seems to be an issue with the secure portion of the transaction with the credit card companies but no one to help find a resolution. Called customer service which then transferred me to a "Relationship Manager" which was also useless. Used to be a great company to do business with but no longer. I would suggest staying away and trying the partners they use such as Booking.com.

    I arranged for a 2 day car rental through Priceline for my trip to San Francisco. They gave me a great rate with Payless car rental. Only $84 for the 2 day rental. Priceline's site said that Payless was at the Airport (definitely not). Their site also said that Payless would accept Debit cards (They do not). My 2 children and I took the shuttle to Payless after our flight ended, only to be told that they would not accept my debit card. We then had to take a shuttle back to the Airport and approximately 3 hours after we landed, we finally had a rental car from Alamo for $306.00 for 2 days. Guess how I paid for that?

    I had booked a hotel with Priceline and then I could not make it and needed to cancel. Priceline took 100% of the money, offered no help, basically an empty hotel room they will cash in off of. I will never use Priceline or any of their subsidiaries again. Kayak, Booking, Agoda, Priceline, OpenTable. I would avoid these. They may have a slightly better deal on paper here and now but they will screw you over in the long term. Trust me, you get screwed over by one bad deal and you lose 100% of your funds.

    Priceline forgot to include extra $20.50 driving permit fee, even it stated on reservation all taxes and fees are included in $35. That is a not true. First car I got besides many visible damages, not just scratches or dents, it was some serious damage on both doors and front. As soon as I drove away car stop running, I had to return and got another damaged car, but at least was running. Also, on reservation it should be mentioned that holding fee on our credit card is $1500 as not everyone will have that kind of limit on their credit card. I just spend 1 hour 17 minutes on the phone with Priceline customer service, spoke to Jane CR **; Claire supervisor ** and no one could explain what is included in $35 fees and why $20.50 additional fee was not on the main line of extra charges in my reservation. Very bad experience.

    When I was returning the car, during very heavy rainstorm, to my surprise on the Firefly door sign said, "Go to Hertz." I did, returned my car there, asked why I had a such a old beat up 2 cars, the answer, was, "Those cars from Hertz which were no longer used by Hertz due to damage and mileage".

    I’m not sure how Priceline is still around!!! They are the worst!! I booked an all inclusive trip for 2, 2 flights round trip to Jamaica and 2 all inclusive guest in one hotel room well in advance of our trip and paid in full. A week before my travel I call the resort directly to confirm everything. They had our reservation but listed as one all inclusive adult staying not 2. I called Priceline and they said that is how it was booked for on one all inclusive guest. And it was a reservation that could not be changed. Why would 2 people fly to Jamaica and only one stay in the room. I said, "Ok. Well can you just add one more person to the room." They said my reservation could not be changed at all. They said I had to book another room for 2 all inclusive. But I could not cancel my other so I would be charged for the original reservation that they messed up on AND then also pay for another with the two!!! Are you kidding me.

    I spent hours on the phone with them and their “management” telling me that they could book another room for one person AT MY EXPENSE and then we would have two room and two all inclusive and then just pick which room we wanted to stay in but the charges would be on separate rooms. ARE YOU KIDDING ME. All the way up until the DAY I left I was on the phone with them.

    FINALLY they booked us another room for two all inclusive adults but said I would have to front the cost of the new room reservation and then they would refund me after the trip. I said, "ABSOLUTELY not. You will rebook the room for two and not charge me extra. Our whole trip was already paid in full." I was not paying an extra anything for their mistake. After talking to multiple managers they finally booked the new room with no extra charge and canceled our other room. Which they should have done from the first call I made. Advice to Priceline. Admit when you mess up and just take care of it. I would give them zero stars but it would not let me! DON’T EVER USE PRICELINE...EVER!!! They are the absolute worst!!!

    Hi, I am writing to express my disappointment in Priceline and their customer service. I booked a flight from Lisbon to Mykonos to leave at 12:35 am on Friday 9/14. I mistakenly thought it left Friday night at 12:35 am. I never received a check in reminder from Priceline to check in. Had I received an email to check in, I would have realized my mistake and been able to catch my flight. Priceline did nothing to help me and said the reason I didn’t receive an email to check in “was maybe because of a glitch in the system.” I had to spend another $300 to book a new flight tonight (I did not book through Priceline). I have flown hundreds of times for business and pleasure and have always received a check in reminder from the multiple airlines I have flown... including when I’ve booked through a 3rd party, like Kayak.

    The customer service reasoning of not being able to help refund or find me a new flight was simply “it's a rule and the contract says.” I get what a contract says... but I felt like I was talking to a machine and not a real person who can empathize with my disappointment in missing my flight. It was an honest mistake on my part for which I take blame, but had I received a reminder email to check in I would not have missed it. I will not give my business to Priceline in the future and will make sure my friends and family know of the disappointing outcome and customer service I had today from Priceline.

    Good Day robots working at the Priceline customer service, I wanted to personally reach out to you and thank you for cheating yet another customer out of their money. I hope you get to sleep like a baby after a long hard day of scamming people. Me and my husband has tried calling you several time for the last two months literally begging to change our travel dates if the trip can't be canceled due to a family emergency. However, since we have robots working at Priceline and not actual human beings who can try to understand another person's situation, we were simply told no.

    Just yesterday, my husband called Priceline many times asking them if we can move our travel dates as we cannot travel on the dates we chose initially because of family emergency, and my husband even told the representative that we are willing to pay the price difference if there will be any to move the travel dates, but the representative just said plain no.

    For someone who works in customer service industry, even I know that sometimes a person has a situation which is completely out of their control and every single company in this world can make at least a one time exception for the customer if they try to understand the customer's situation. But sadly Priceline is not one of those companies.

    Me and my husband have no choice but to take the loss on the money we spent to book our trip and just not show up for our flight and hotel reservation because Priceline has refused to help us many times. This is the point where I just wash my hands off of such disgusting business who can't even understand another human being's situation. I rather spend more money and book directly with hotels and airlines than to go through the hell that Priceline has put me and my husband through. So Priceline thank you so much for this amazing experience and teaching me a good lesson to not ever book anything through you ever again.

    I recently booked a trip with Priceline. There was no issues booking the trip. Within a couple of days I received notification that the flight had changed. This happened several times over the following week. However, when I checked on the changes, I couldn't find any. This is because their system does not update to reflect the changes to the customer. I was 2 weeks out from my trip and checked on my reservations. My flight had in fact changed. The return trip had a 14 hour layover!!! I didn't know who to call to change it, so I spoke with the chat. They gave me a number to call. This took over an hour to change my flight. Priceline had to call the airline directly. I could not call the airline directly, because Priceline "possessed" the tickets.

    Again, I received notification the flight had changed 2 days before my trip. It changed back to my original flight change of a 14 hour layover. I called them and it took another hour and a half on the phone for them to tell me that the flight in fact did not change. Currently, I have been on the phone for another 2 hours waiting. My flight was cancelled last minute. I finally got through to a Priceline agent after waiting 35 minutes in the queue. She put me on hold to check on my flight and hung up on me. I called back. Waited another 25 minutes to speak to a representative. He told me he could not help me because Priceline no longer had control of the tickets (it is past midnight the day of the flight).

    I asked to speak with his manager, due to the fact that I was hung up on. He put me back in a queue. In the meantime, my husband called the airline. He put me on a callback waiting list. I received that phone call, before I could talk to a manager. Still waiting in the queue!!! On top of it all, while I have been on hold all this time, I tried to speak with the chat representatives. They will not help you! They will only give you a scripted line and give you the phone number that will put you on hold. I asked to speak with their manager.

    I needed a budget hotel to stay for 2 day work commitment in the Tustin/Santa Ana area. I'm from San Diego. I didn't want to be driving back and forth if I could stay in the area and my work wasn't going to be paying for this hotel room. Made the mistake of going on Priceline.com a getting hooked and falling for their "2 Star Hotel" for $42.00 with bed and basic necessities from their family of hotels, all big named budget hotels that I heard of. Sounds great right. Wrong. Apparently being in a safe area wasn't necessary to be considered a 2-star hotel on Priceline. I just needed someplace to sleep in and feel safe that my car wasn't going to be stolen. I didn't need anything like room service, etc.

    Once I paid, (I opted not to get their $10.00 coverage. My fault, could have gotten a refund and save this hassle), my hotel showed up as not one of the chain budget hotels advertised. It was the Keys Inn & Suites in Tustin. It wasn't even a chain budget hotel. It's located in a known hot spot of crime (drugs, prostitution, etc). Being a single female and traveling solo, I did not feel comfortable or safe staying at this hotel for all the known crime that occurs in this area and at the hotel. I took the $104.00 loss for the 2-night reservation instead of risking my safety and drove the 2 hours home to San Diego that I was hoping to avoid by booking in this "2-star hotel room" to begin with.

    Shame on Priceline for advertising their mystery "2-star hotel" as one of the budget chain hotels when it's not. Priceline says that they can't and the hotel won't let them disclose the name of the hotel until you book because the prices are so low and basically take a gamble whether to get the $10 coverage if you need to cancel the reservation (I lose that bet). The hotel name doesn't get disclosed the hotel because no one in their right minds would stay in this drug infested hotel/motel.

Called Priceline and were told that we have to call the airline directly to get the confirmation. I told them, "You are the agent, I paid you for the change of tickets and why do I have to call Saudia for confirmation." This is just a synopsis of a week-long painful hassle.

This wasn't ideal but at least then I wasn't paying for a room I would never get to use. So in order to change the day the hotel said I needed to have Priceline call back to talk to the hotel again.

    So I call Priceline and they refuse to call the hotel they kept saying they already called and wouldn't do it again. I explained to them that I had spoken to the hotel and they said they would be willing to move it if they would call but they refused. She kept saying over and over "Unfortunately we wont be able to give you a refund today" like she was reading from a script.

    We had planned this trip to Florida for Labor Day weekend almost 2 months ago. Since we are from Wisconsin. We had to consider lot of things like price, distance and free time. For this trip, we had booked everything well in advance, Rooms, rental car, theme park tickets and places to visit. The plan seemed to be perfect. But there was a shocking surprise waiting for us from Priceline.

    We were 2 families with 4 kids. We flew to Orlando on Thursday night. As it was late night flight, we had booked rooms close to airport through Priceline. The flight was on time, in fact it landed 30 minutes early. We rented the mini van, so that we all can travel together and kids can have fun. When we reached hotel, it was around 12 o'clock at night. We were all tired and just wanted to hit the bed, but Priceline had a different plan for us. There was only one room (we had booked two rooms). The amount deducted was for 2 rooms but only 1 room was reserved for us. We spoke with the hotel staff, but they told they have only one reservation under my name and they are full for the night.

    I handed over, one room to my friend since they have small kid and had some challenges. At the same time, we were also on phone with Priceline customer service requesting them to get a room for us. It took around 15 mins to make them understand the problem, after that they were told they will check with hotel. It was midnight 2 o'clock, they were putting us on long holds and told they will call back twice, which they never did. We had to call them back both the times. It's midnight, we don’t have a place to sleep even after booking well in advance and paying for it. It's a unknown city with high crime rate. They had kept us on hold for nearly 90 mins without any directions. My phone charge was getting over, I was not aware of the place and with 4 years kid it was nightmare.

    We tried to put our kid to sleep, but he didn't get proper sleep and was crying all the time. We were so tired after a long day. They never tried to understand our situation. All they were saying is they will call back. Another 2-3 hrs sun will rise. As it was long weekend, most of the hotels were booked. Even we could not take help of online, as it was over 12:00 AM, check in time will be 3:00 PM. We didn't get a room for almost whole night. We were on road literally. Finally, around 4am we got a room at Renaissance hotel after paying a hefty amount just for few hours. By the time we slept, it was 5am in the morning.

    It was the first day of our trip; we had Disney tickets booked for which my son waited for almost year. We were supposed to be there by 9am which we couldn't. We went late around 2:00 PM and there were long lines for every ride as it was long weekend. We were not at all able to enjoy anything. My son was also cranky as he didn't get proper sleep. He was soo excited about Disney, he would tell everyone we met that we are going to Disneyworld. He was very disappointed. In fact we all were. The Priceline screwed up our entire trip. This trip made me look like fool in front of other family. They felt we did not plan correctly, which was not the case at all. Hotel Request Number **.

    Two bad experiences with Priceline, never again, only Expedia or Booking.com from here on. Latest experience, I booked a hotel in Ft Lauderdale on 31st August, been trying to cancel it ever since. Days Inn by Wyndham, too far from the airport, also a dump when I read the reviews. I was happy to book a different hotel with Priceline. So, four days later, no luck, completely jerked around by the Priceline chat line each day. I ended up asking for the phone number for the hotel, they gave me that as they said they had called three times. All rubbish, the number was for the central booking not the hotel.

    I left a message for the hotel manager with my name, phone and email two days ago. Of course no reply, thanks Mr ** if that's your real name. Maybe losing $98 is worth it to be rid of Priceline. Last year I booked a three day stay in Westin, Florida, under a five star rating, their name your price program. I bumped the price up and ended up with the Bonaventure Resort. Five Stars... right. A real dump, dirty, old, maybe a Three Star if you squint. I called them back after I read the terrible reviews to complain that this hotel had horrid reviews and in no way could be a five star. The little darlings told me I cannot change it and if I wasn't happy I could always send a review in after I stayed there. It was as bad as the reviews. I should have made that my last Priceline booking, I told them this was a dishonest way to do business. I think they shrugged, caveat emptor perhaps. A dishonest, disgusting company in my view.

    My husband booked a trip for the both of us through Priceline. I called to change the outbound flight due to a medical condition. They Could not help or accommodate me in any way without an additional charge of at least $600.00. I called only a few days after booking. I've never heard of such a thing. I found out they have these ridiculous restrictions on the trips they book. Seems flawed. They do not help or care about their customers. Be careful if using them. Very dissatisfied customer!

    I put in my criteria for a hotel and they booked me into a property that had none of the amenities that I requested. Of course, the booking is non-refundable. Stay away from these deceptive practices as the company does not care about customers. This company really, really sucks! It turns out the hotel's rate is also cheaper than Priceline's.

    I have book tickets for flight through Priceline four times. Twice these people sent me a message saying that my flight was cancelled. Apparently flight had not been cancelled, Priceline deemed it fit to chuck me off. They did this just two hours before the flight was to take off. It took hours the first time to get another flight as their customer service simply put me on hold. I am going through a second episode right now. It is 11:45 AM and the flight leaves at 2 PM. Should I start for the airport or not. If I don't, will they give me another flight or will they ding me for a missed flight? I am never coming back to Priceline ever again. This is it! And I will tell my friends as well to avoid this company.

    HORRIBLE COMPANY WITH HIDDEN FEES, no customer service and a lackluster attitude about fixing any issues. They booked my name wrong on my DELTA airlines trip. Delta said that this issue was Priceline and that Priceline needed to address this issue and fix it. Priceline could fix my name and send me back my boarding pass with my actual name. Instead of fixing the issue Priceline (after 2.5 hours on the phone and internet) said they would charge me 30 dollars extra no exceptions to fix. Finally I gave in and paid- otherwise I can’t get on my flight. Easy fix. Too much wasted time. Money out of my pocket for this mistake.

    Priceline appeared about eight dollars cheaper than any hotel booking competitor. They sent me an itinerary showing what I would pay now, and what I would pay at the hotel. When I got to the hotel, they said I owed an 'OTA booking fee' of $7.54 which Priceline should have told me about. They said Expedia, booking.com and all the others include it in their price. So Priceline basically won the business because they appeared cheaper - but the customer pays the same. Very deceptive practice. I had a ten day argument to get the money back, failure to return calls, lack of interest, dismissive attitude. They have just agreed to process a refund- but no additional compensation for my trouble - most people probably just let it go - and they are reaping benefit of this unfair practice. I will never use again.

    I booked through Priceline and reserved a room for three nights, but only ended up staying one. The Best Western Hotel I stayed at was great, and the staff were extremely helpful. They only charged for the one night I stayed and cancelled the other two nights; however, Priceline would not refund the difference. I figured a 20 percent cancellation fee would be fair, but not the full price. The hotel staff highly recommend going directly through them, and not a 3rd party booking site for that very reason. I agree I would rather spend a few extra dollars per night, and have the flexibility to cancel if necessary. I will not use Priceline again and I recommend you do the same. Horrible customer service and cancellation policies.

    Complaint - Priceline - buyer beware! Priceline hotel shoppers beware. I have used Priceline, on numerous occasions for my business hotel stays. Only this weekend did I realized the genesis of the consistently poor customer service and poor attitudes among the hoteliers staff. This weekend, August 26, 2018, after a very frustrating, underequipped, underknowledge, check-in process I later requested an iron to pressed my starched dress shirts. The front desk person, indicated that I did not have the premium package and I was not entitled to that service. This is the first time, I had heard of that service to receive an iron.

    Two days later, after coming from the office, I noticed the bed was not made, I had no towels, clean or otherwise, no new soap and the trash that I previously put into the bare receptacle was sitting on the desk. That was so, a clean trash liner could be placed in the receptacle. I phoned the front desk and was informed the online Priceline package, did not include daily maid service. I was so surprised. A first for me, so I complained to Priceline and to my surprise they did not walk away from any of those negotiated claims. My position that was communicated, is these disclosures should be made to the buyer BEFORE their purchase. Nevertheless these disclosures to the customer did not exist in their online ads. If a traveler needs to travel with an iron, their soap and towels, please STATE THAT.

    All Priceline’s representative did was to offer me any apology. That is pathetic!! I’m a thousands miles away from home, doing business for weeks and I cannot count on reasonably hotel accommodations and customer service. This hotel is Priceline’s “3 star” Red Roof Inn, in New Britain Connecticut. With the premium fees and taxes that Priceline charges, we may do better in contacting hotels directly, if we need to pay for the “extras” anyway! Shame on you Priceline, you need to do better! Shame on you hoteliers, train your people better and if you cannot provide reasonable customer service, don’t take the Priceline deal. I have the transcript of my Priceline conversation if needed!!!

We tried to filter out hotels that will accommodate our dog, but the list they gave us had options that were clearly not what we filtered. Unknowingly, we booked a hotel that was not pet-friendly and instead of coming up with a solution since we are on a tight budget, they just said, “Whoops, tough luck.” So now we’re out $120 and with no place to stay.

We also thought they would "price match" if we found a lower rate. We found a lower rate at the Hotel after we checked in, about $120.00 less. Priceline also lowered its rate on their website right after we booked the "last two rooms". Not only we could have saved about $120.00 by booking directly with the Hotel, but we also learned that the hotel had over 60 rooms available.

    We immediately contacted Priceline to request a "price match" but were told they couldn't do that. We asked why Priceline was advertising "only two rooms left" and the representative said that was a common practice and agreed that it amounted to false advertising. I will never use Priceline again.

    Like all who attempt to get a better hotel for a better price, I used the "Name Your Own Price" feature. After specifying an adequate bid, I was accepted to the lowest end of their spectrum in category, Hilton Orlando-Bonnet Creek Resort. A bit disappointed, I immediately looked at the hotel on their site and found that this hotel had an offer that equated to $100 less than what my bid was accepted for. Needless to say, this is an unethical and deceptive practice that is programmed to steal from its customers rather than either immediately matching the price, or finding a better hotel where they can still stay in the green. Profit over Patron is what their actions show. When I called, "all they could do" was refund the difference, but not cancel the booking; it's like I was raped, but provided some change for an Uber back home.

    To further their deplorable ethics, the follow-up customer service survey is only one question, "How was the customer service"? Being treated fine by the representative, so I put "good", and was ready for the question to delineate the dissatisfaction in disposition of the case; nope, no chance to do so. So what that feedback will reflect in 1 answer was that I was satisfied with the entire experience, which is definitely not accurate to what transpired.

I could have in fact CANCELLED my reservation for FREE as I was still within the time frame. I called CS and was really pleased they seemed so efficient and told me to just keep my current reservation, send them the receipt AFTER we stayed and they would happily refund the difference. I had already sent the link/screenshot of the better deal and she had already looked at it.

    After 2 weeks of no response I get a call telling me I don't qualify and when I start going over the numbers she was in Euros when I was in Dollars so trying to totally confuse me. When I didn't agree to what she was saying and questioned things too much she then told me I only qualified for a refund of 6.40$ when it should have been 240$. So which is it Priceline? I don't qualify? Or I don't get as much as promised? Now I am waiting for a manager to contact me as I sent an email to everyone but I don't think anyone will contact me. BEWARE.

    I contacted Priceline customer service when my debit card had been used for purchase of a plane ticket and I called before flight has taken off. I asked they cancel and refund me the money because I didn’t authorize the ticket. I said someone used my Card to purchase and manager said “I’m sorry it was a non refundable ticket”. I said I didn’t purchase nor is it in my name, it was as if it was ok I pay for someone to use my card and fly for free. The crazy part is I caught it before the flight was leaving and they didn’t care my card has been hacked and used fraudulently. I gave them chance to help me and they have no care in world.

    I always booked my trips through Priceline but now I’m disgusted with their actions and how they let someone take my $ to book a flight even though I called to inform them. It was a slap in my face so I canceled my upcoming trip and will never use Priceline nor will my 15 relatives. They could have canceled flight even but wouldn’t do that.

    Watch out for tricky currency “options”. I recently booked a hotel through this company from Canada in Canada on my phone. There was never a mention of currency anywhere. I booked a “special deal” that was nonrefundable, and of course my credit was billed in US dollars. After talking to a representative, I was told that I had to switch the currency in a drop-down menu, even though it said nothing about US dollars in the quote itself. For some reason now when I go back to check there is a C in front of the quote meaning Canadian currency. I still have the original link for my original special nonrefundable price that has neither a C or a US in front of the quote. Do not book anything with this sneaky company.

    NEVER NEVER USE PRICELINE!!! Am a senior citizen and made a reservation via Priceline for a Hertz rental vehicle. Was unable to travel on the date of pick up due to a change in my interstate moving company. Attempted to cancel reservation through Priceline and was told my type of reservation for $200 was totally nonrefundable and non-transferrable. So Priceline is charging me the full amount even though I will not be picking up the car. I could understand a penalty fee but the full amount? They are also charging me $75 for a rebooking of a ticket that cost $102. So to Priceline is taking $275 for a car and a ticket that I will not use.

    Priceline is a scam. Not worth the couple of dollar savings Priceline offers. Had I booked directly with Hertz, a call to cancel the reservations would have cost me nothing. A call to JetBlue would have cost me $25. NEVER USE PRICELINE again. Contacting my State Consumer Affairs to file a consumer report, despite their policy. There was a line on the receipt sent for the booking which stated "Free cancellation until pickup". They now say that has to do only with insurance protection.

    This is just how Priceline makes their money and why regulations for scams are needed. They offer a bit of savings on car rental, flights and hotels; charge credit card date of reservation knowing a certain percentage of reservations will cancel. The amount charged to our credit cards, totally nonrefundable, is sheer profit for Priceline. Please just be VERY aware if using Priceline that it is a SCAM! Have read numerous reviews stating same concerns with their reservations. Save yourself the grief that other victims of Priceline have endured. Go directly to rental companies, hotels and airlines. NEVER NEVER USE PRICELINE!!!

    I booked a cruise for my cousin for her birthday through Priceline. This cruise was originally booked on 12/21/17 and the cruise dates are 11/11/18-11/17/18. After booking, I received several emails about payment that would be due and when I would have to pay them. The cruise deposit was due on 7/24/18 and the remainder was due by 08/03/18. The debit card that I originally booked the cruise with was deactivated because of fraudulent activity and I was waiting on my new debit card to come in the mail. On 7/24 at 8:09 a.m., they sent me an email saying that I needed to pay the deposit within 48 hrs of the RECEIPT of the email or my booking would be cancelled. So on 7/26 at 5:30 a.m., I went on the website with my new card and paid the amount that THE WEBSITE SAID I OWED which was $486.50. I went about my day. I received an email about 5 hours later telling me that my reservation was cancelled. So I IMMEDIATELY called Priceline.

    The guy that I spoke with was extremely rude and basically blamed everything on me and said that I KNEW I owed more money. He told me he could reinstate my booking but I would have to pay $70 more per person because the “rates changed” since I booked it which was a COMPLETE LIE. I told him no. Then he said they cancelled my booking and would refund me all but $100 for a cancellation fee. I was LIVID. So I left a message at the end of the call for a supervisor to call me back and they NEVER DID.

    So on 08/01 I called them. I finally was able to speak with a supervisor and SHE TOO blamed everything on me and told me she couldn’t refund my money. I told her it made no sense that the system didn’t tell me the correct amount I owed and it made no sense to take my money and not notify me that more was owed before you just cancelled my booking over $13. She told me that she could offer me a credit voucher toward a future cruise which DOESN’T HELP ME SINCE I HAD TO REBOOK THROUGH CARNIVAL. This company scammed me and took my ** money.

I called Hertz who stated I would have to call Priceline as Priceline is who they use for online reservations.

I am leaving in 2 weeks and I do not have 6-10 days to wait for a response... This is ridiculous!!! I booked early to cut down on cost which I booked the car for a total of $547.72, if I try to book a van now it will be between $800-$1500.

    DO NOT BOOK WITH PRICELINE. This is the second time I have this issue! When booking a hotel room, there are policies from certain hotels that aren’t explicitly described to the customer upon booking which makes it so that, if you make any mistake while trying to find a room in the evening, you will have no room to make any alterations or request a refund with the company. You will have to call Priceline who will then call the hotel and you will find yourself helpless between hotels saying it is on Priceline to help you and Priceline saying it is on the hotel.

    I searched for a hotel booking. Search criteria included 2 adults and 3 kids. Long story short - The results I got from Priceline mentioned again that I'm 5 people and stated that the rooms are good for me. I booked the room for 2 nights totaling 700$+-. A week out, I called the hotel to double check that all is good. Guess what? The room is only good for 4 from a legal aspect. This is irritating as Priceline doesn't have any problem to push you into a room that will not be comfortable and even illegal - just to make another $$.

    When I called customer service, I got a rep that doesn't speak English (Which would have been fine if she would have helped me). But the response I got was - "You can cancel the reservation - it's ok" - "WOW - Thanks, I'm so lucky that you are allowing me to cancel a faulty and misleading reservation - LOL". And the bottom line is - I am back to hotel search with no assistance from Priceline. So be careful when you book and make sure that Priceline - They have no problem doing wrong and misleading.

I have been using Priceline Express deals for a long time and have always been pretty happy, but now I feel absolutely deceived. And customer service was downright RUDE, stating their policies instead of trying to make it right.

    I booked a "2.5" star hotel that everywhere else said it was 2 stars. After being on hold for a long time and being sent to two different departments, I was told that I was lying, essentially. That their system knew better than Google (or subsequent reviews did). I simply asked for a transfer to a TRUE 2.5 star, and they wouldn't do it. Instead, the second representative raised their voice and repeated their internal rating of 2.5 stars at me until the call abruptly ended.

    I am so disappointed that they did not care about being dishonest, especially to a loyal customer. Never again. Please be careful when booking anything less than a 3 star through Priceline Express Deals, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is! Don't trust the Priceline internal ratings and know that any call you make to customer service will be met with an absolute unwillingness to help you. Expect long wait times and to be transferred, with no solution in sight. Disappointed. So disappointed.

    I was booking a hotel room in Chicago for my husband and I with our young son via Priceline's Express Deal. I entered on the website that we want one room and then picked the deal. When I reviewed the reservation information the website says: "Kids Stay Free. 1 child under 16 years stays free of charge when using existing beds." However, after I clicked on "Confirm Your Reservation" it showed that we booked the Drake Hotel and it is for up to two adults. I called the hotel to make sure including my son the three of us will be OK to check in. The hotel reservation staff asked me to call Priceline because our reservation was through Priceline. I chatted online with a Priceline representative, and the person was not friendly and not helpful and asked me to call the Drake Hotel again. I went back and forth and nobody could confirm that it is OK for 2 adults and 1 child to stay in our booked room.

    Finally, I called Priceline again and was able to talk to an agent who was helpful, but she contacted Drake and then told me that if we want to have all three of us stay there we need to upgrade our room to a family room with additional charges of $88. I was mad because Priceline told me I could bring my child, and now Priceline tells me the room I booked is only for 2 adults even though I have a screenshot right before I confirmed my reservation stating that kids stay free. I asked the Priceline agent to help me cancel the reservation because Priceline misled me and provided wrong information, but she said she couldn't cancel my reservation.

    Finally, I asked to speak to a supervisor and the supervisor put me on hold. He told me I can only get two twin beds without any additional charges, and they cannot accommodate my one queen bed request. The Priceline staff were actually trying to be helpful, but Priceline provides misleading information along with the hotel trying to charge us more for what we were supposed to have! The hotel was also not willing to discuss at all with me stating that "we cannot touch anything booked through Priceline and you need to talk to Priceline." I was being pushed back and forth a few times before being informed about the two twin bed solution that is not satisfactory. I wasted 1.5 hours for this whole thing.

    Well in Canada booking a hotel a Canadian Hotel, with a Canadian credit card I went on priceline.com to book it. The price said $71. What a great deal. Went through the process of adding my credit card information. All of the information required to book a hotel with the Delta Marriott in Halifax, a great hotel where we stayed before. Excellent service. When the booking went through it showed that we paid $105 all taxes in and different service charges that the hotel charged us before. Still a great deal!

    Then we looked at the invoice that came in from priceline.com. The price was in American dollars. Now, on the front page of everything you book with them there is no currency denomination there other than the price. We made an assumption, the Assumption was that it would be in Canadian dollars as we are Canadian using a Canadian credit card in a Canadian province to book a Canadian Hotel. That was not the case. It was US dollars. Don't get me wrong. We do a lot of staying in hotels both in Canada and the US, Europe etcetera but just felt that it was not the cheapest priced that we could get based on what Priceline was advertising.

I was told that in their system it is a 2.5 star hotel because of customer rating & their own rating company. That does not make it a 2.5 unless you can do a Google search & it says 2.5 for that hotel. Where they get you is you don't get to see the hotel until after purchase which is non refundable because it is Express Deal.

When I get home to print out my itinerary the dates were not accurate and Priceline stated they could not change nor refund my airline tickets.

    I never asked for a refund. All I asked was for them to change the return date because the error was on their part not mine and they said and I quote "well you received the confirmation email.

    They then went on to tell me that they had no record that I even called to book the reservation through them yet they found on record that same day the three phone conversations I had to call to complain yet they have no records of any of my emails or phone calls prior to that date, I have been a Priceline customer for years so I find that very hard to believe that there is no history magically convenient for them of my phone number or email. I take three vacations a year and use Priceline yet convenient to them they have no history of me ever being a customer until the three phone calls that I made today to call to complain.

    I told them I was going to contact my phone company to get a printout in a detailed report showing that I spent 45 minutes on the phone with their company, to prove that I did and the lady said, "Well even though we can't find it on our end that won't change anything", so I said, "So you're telling me if I cannot prove that that phone conversation happened that you said doesn't exist then you won't change the ticket in or refund my money?" Their reply was no. Wow.

    I strongly believe Priceline does this as a marketing scam to make you purchase another ticket and I am contacting a lawyer, someone needs to look into this and do something about it! While I was on hold that entire time I heard a recording of William Shatner over and over that Priceline will correct any mistakes they've made and or do whatever it takes to make us happy as a client or customer, that is such a false advertisement and such a fake false promise to the consumer because they aren't doing anything to correct the situation with an unhappy client that has been with them for years.

    Every year for the past 15 years I book my trip back home (Hawaii) to see my family. I have noticed over the past few years some shady things. I have had my seat assignments changed from what I selected (during the booking), separating my minor child from me on the plane. I have to pay extra to the airline so I can reserve seats next to my minor daughter! This adds up especially when we are traveling so far. Priceline advertises "lowest" prices but that is a lie! I arranged my car rental with my receipt stating I could cancel at any time. I received an email from USAA making me aware of discounts I am eligible for as a veteran. One of those discounts was for a car rental with the same company I booked with through Priceline.

    For the exact same car, dates and coverage was over $250 cheaper with my veteran code. I called Priceline and they informed me I could not cancel even though my receipt said I could nor would they honor my discounted price!!! This is how they treat veterans??? I was given the runaround and every excuse in the world why Priceline would not honor the cheaper price or cancel the reservation. To make matters worse... The operator I was speaking was barely understandable due to her foreign accent!!! I WILL NEVER DO BUSINESS AGAIN WITH PRICELINE NO MATTER WHAT!!! They should be ashamed of their business practices!

    Am a senior citizen and made a reservation via Priceline for a Hertz rental vehicle. Was unable to drive for a couple weeks prior to trip due to a health issue. Canceled reservation through Priceline and was told my type of reservation was totally nonrefundable. Tried to cancel via credit card to no avail. Priceline provided their cancellation policy which credit card company honored. Honestly feel Priceline is a scam. Things happen in life that are beyond our control. Not worth the couple of dollar savings Priceline offers.

    This is how Priceline makes their money. They offer a little savings on car rental, flights and hotels; charge credit card date of reservation knowing a certain percentage of reservations will cancel. The amount charged to our credit cards, totally nonrefundable, is sheer profit for Priceline. Please just be VERY aware if using Priceline that it is a SCAM! Have read numerous reviews stating same concerns with their reservations. Save yourself the grief that other victims of Priceline have endured. Go directly to rental companies, hotels and airlines. NEVER NEVER USE PRICELINE!!!

    Am highly disappointed in my stay here since I checked in as the resort was not represented as not being on the beach as the listing and images showed instead we have to walk over the bridge to get to the beach and any activities going on. I would have never paid to stay somewhere not looking at the beach especially as much money as I paid to stay here. I paid to see the beach not walk to it. Then the carpet is wet in multiple areas had to call maintenance. Now it smells of mildew. The view is of a green and brown pond that is gross to look at as well as the annoying noise from toads or something can't even enjoy sitting outside. The construction is ridiculous well and would've been nice to be notified of before the reservation. Also couldn't enjoy the pools because every day all the chairs were taken by the time it opened and this has just been my worst beach experience.

    I paid to enjoy the amenities and can't even do that. Have to pay to use the gym and I didn't see that anywhere just because it was not booked through resort directly. I also had to be woke up at 7 am from the loud stomping in the upstairs unit. For 2 hrs this went on. The couch is sunken in and not comfortable. The curtains are too light and sun. This was way overpriced and not represented the way it should've been. I never would've stayed here with the location or any of it. Don't stay in the villas! I booked through Priceline. Contacted them they said to contact Booking.com that it was booked through them however that works. I contacted the company here at Edgewater. They told me to contact the 3rd party I booked from like who the heck do I need talk to. Ridiculous. And since I booked through 3rd party they can't do anything to assist the situation.

    Would give 0 stars if I could. Nothing like ruining a family vacation 2 days before we leave! Was told we could only rent from “the airport” location if we had a major credit card. Our debit card or cash wasn’t good enough for “the airport” location. We made this reservation on 5/24/18 and were not notified of this until today upon calling to confirm reservation and seeing if we could get car a few hours earlier. The manager Ryan was especially lacking empathy of any degree, didn’t even apologize. Blamed Priceline and of course Priceline blamed Enterprise and they both blamed me! Nothing like telling the customer they are an idiot. Ryan wouldn’t see if another Enterprise location that isn’t an airport had the car for us.

    And of course the price has more than doubled since we originally booked the reservation. I will never use this company or Priceline again. Mistakes happen, a company’s ability to apologize to the customer and make it right is what makes a great company that I will recommend to everyone I know. Both of these companies however FAIL. I guess when you get that big you don’t really care about losing a few customers. If you want a reliable, honest company to book your hard earned family vacation with, I suggest you look elsewhere. PS Be prepared when you call to complain or confirm. Neither one of these companies will connect you with anyone in this country and has English as their first language.

    When choosing a deal that states it will be a hotel casino, I never would have imagined they would put us in a motel. I called Priceline and spoke with a rep and then the supervisor, they refused to cancel or change my reservations. They stated they do not guarantee that the reservation is a “hotel”, they only guarantee the stars, location and price. I explained that they lied on their part when they called it a hotel when it in fact is not. They did not care, said there is nothing they can do for me. This is misleading to the customer.

    Note that Priceline is not consistent in reporting all fees you will be charged with a hotel booking, especially for express deals. Some deals will include a separate line for resort fees, paid either through Priceline or separately at hotel. Some won't. Therefore, you'll never know true cost of hotel until your stay. In my case, Priceline refused to acknowledge the hidden fees and said they don't know all fees the hotel will charge for a stay. Really? Isn't that the entire purpose of using Priceline? Of course, I will no longer be using Priceline for any services. Buyer beware.

    Same story as so many others there should be a class action lawsuit against them. I put in the date for a hotel stay and it showed a page of listings available for date clicked on their calendar. Booked the room and paid and when it showed the reservation, it was for that same day. Within one minute I called Priceline and they would not even speak to you, give another company to call that handles reservations. Get someone in Asia with very poor English and communication skills who tells me they will handle it and then sends me an email directly from that person and it says nonrefundable and no changes (Just wanted the right date! Did not want a refund).

    I responded to the email letting them know of the glitch and that it had just occurred a few minutes before and asked them to fix the date and they never did anything nor did they respond. Simple human courtesy is not what Priceline is about but just whatever they can get away with to make an easy dollar. Raally despicable, will NEVER use them again.

    While I was staying at THE COUNTY INN, I was woken up by a strange man coming towards me across the bed, in the dark, just before midnight. I screamed loudly about 5 times, he bolted, I screamed loudly out the front door. I called the front desk and no one picked up. I called 911, the police came, made a report (**), and kept me around about 30 minutes for questioning, collected the bedspread for DNA, footprints, etc. My iPhone was stolen.

    Both the police and I requested to have my room charge removed and I drove home, 1 1/2 hours north, around midnight. Both the front desk guy and manager heard my story when I turned in my keys and I was told I had to call PRICELINE to get charges reversed. There was never any explanation as to why they didn't pick up or come when I screamed (others came out of their rooms, I was hoarse from screaming, and they were 25 yards away).

    When I got home I chatted with PRICELINE about 2:30 am. When PRICELINE called COUNTY INN they said they didn't know anything about me and that we had to call back tomorrow when the manager was in (again, I have no phone). When I called on Monday and Wed. we were again told that the manager was not in. On Monday PRICELINE told me the issue would be escalated, but still 5 days later nothing from PRICELINE except that I've gotten 4 ads and a survey asking if I liked my trip. All their phone numbers lead to recordings.

    In Priceline chat I was told they understand I'm "frustrated". On Monday they're sorry for the "inconvenience"; in reality I feel like I escaped being raped or killed. It was very traumatizing. I'm out 1000.00 phone, erase the phone, get a new phone. I had trouble sleeping for 2 nights, I missed my event, I have start mediations to reverse the charges with CHASE, I called Legal Aid of Marin, who referred me to the District Attorney Consumer Protection Services, who referred me to Lawyer referral services who told me I could take it to small claims court or look for a lawyer to help me on a civil lawsuit, for someone who does civil torts.

    PRICELINE did not show the motel name when they advertised the room. It's a new strategy for them to reveal the name AFTER you book. Yes, it was cheap but it was conveniently located for my Fri./Sat. events. After this happened, I read the reviews and see it has a 2 star rating with bad reviews. I suspect PRICELINE is being used to launder motels with bad reviews. This is dangerous for the consumer. The reasons I'm mad are 1/getting no action or response from either THE COUNTY INN or PRICELINE; doing a lot of work and being ignored, 2/I think it's dangerous to the consumer to work with a group that hides information about their product and then acts a buffer to remove recourse and consequences for wrongful activity.

Well, I put in my destination ect and the list of prices came up, and right a the top was their "express deal" for about 100+ cheaper than everyone else. I added our tickets and rental car to my cart, and tried MULTIPLE times to book that deal, but every single time it came back with "Ooops! We're sorry this deal is no longer available". Frustrated I thought it was something wrong with my computer, so I tried to do the same thing several times on both my wife's and son's computer also. Each time the SAME deal came up. Thinking maybe it was something to do with the internet I decided to wait a day or two to book our tickets as there was really no hurry.

    Over the course of 5 consecutive days, every time I went to Priceline and searched our trip, it came back with the exact same deal, and every time I tried booking it it gave the same "Ooops. We're sorry" message. So just out of curiosity, I tried to book OTHER flights to OTHER destinations. Each and every time it came up with the SAME EXACT DEAL, SAME PRICE, SAME EVERYTHING EXCEPT THE DESTINATION AND STARTING POINT CHANGED... HUH? Finally a little ticked off, I called them. It took me an hour to get thru because every time I tried it told me "Oh we're sorry. The deal you were trying to book is filled". I finally had to search google for a corporate phone number.

    I did eventually get ahold of a guy who didn't hardly speak any English and after some poking and prodding he finally told me the whole "express deal" crap is just that, CRAP. He said it's an advertising gimmick, and there wasn't really any "express deal" available. I then decided to do my own checking and Priceline's prices are literally the same as everyone else's.

    Do not book through Priceline... Fake promises is what it is. I wish I could give them a negative star because after our last hotel stay booked through them, they have not only lost our faith in them but have lost us as their customers and also our family/friends. I would recommend you to rather use Expedia, Kayak or any other website but not them. We booked a hotel in Michigan through them. It was a stay from hell there. Spiders in the bathroom, rotted doors, mold in the bathroom, slept on the couch for both nights. I do have to say the hotel manager called me right away apologizing and ensured that they will take actions to make sure steps are taken to correct this as they believe in making sure their customers have comfortable stays.

    I asked them for a refund for the 2 nights we spent there and they said that since it was made through Priceline, Priceline will have to call them to get an approval (Which they would be happy to do so) and then I can get my refund from them. After contacting Priceline every other day to get a resolution, they kept telling me that they are not able to get hold of a manager at the hotel that we stayed at (which is unheard of as there is a always a manager on duty at all the hotels). Then after almost following up with them for a month, I ended up doing their job and called the hotel again to ask for who the manager would be that would approve this refund.

    I spoke to him and went over the situation with him. He said he would be more than happy to approve this refund as soon as Priceline calls them. After sharing this info with Priceline, they said that they will not process my refund anymore as they could not reach the hotel manager which was complete BS. Long story short, they basically changed their side of the promise after all the hassle that I went through. They chose to rather lose customers than provide a service that will bring the customers back to them.

I called Priceline and they said, “We can't do anything and you can ask the hotel for another bed and could be with extra charge.” I was lucky the hotel staff was very kindly people and help me, and that will be last time to use Priceline site.

    I've always used Priceline to book my rooms until now. I booked a room for 07/20/18 an upcoming family trip. I selected 2 rooms but website kept kicking me out. I booked one room for a certain area. Went back to book the same area and saw *hint: you've booked here before* under the impression that it was the room I had just booked.

    Spoke with customer service. They were very rude and told me that it didn't matter what I saw before booking that the last page is the only thing that matter. I even told the ladies (1st Lin 2nd Iyah) if there was a price difference I was willing to pay the difference but got a "Sorry can't help you." If they look into my account they will see I've booked through Priceline religiously and have never had an issue. The one time I do have an issue I can't get any assistance. I feel Like they should be willing to assist me because of "misleading" info on their website but all I get is "You should've checked the last page of your purchase." Now I am going to report the charge as fraud because that's fraud for both rooms and contact corporate (knowing I will receive the same response). I will no longer be using Priceline because of this experience.

    My boyfriend was attempting to book a flight to Hawaii. The Priceline website crapped out so he had to re-enter his information again to retrieve a confirmation. Priceline charged us for two bookings so we called to dispute. Not only did we wait a WHOLE HOUR listening to their dumb automated content on loop, the customer service rep had to call Hawaiian airline separately to get ahold of the situation.

    After another 30 min of waiting, they told us there was nothing they could do. UM HELLO YOUR WEBSITE CRAPPED OUT. JUST MAKE IT RIGHT. We requested to speak to her supervisor and she put us on hold for another 20 min. We finally get ahold of the supe and needed to explain the story all over again. Unbelievable! She looked into it and came back with the same story... What gives. This is the worst platform to book with incompetent service. If the flight wasn’t $450, I’d cut my losses... At this rate, it’s not even worth our time to hold to retrieve the money back.

    Beware of false advertising and misleading information from Priceline.com. I rented a car with “unlimited mileage” but when I went to pick up car Advantage rental company told me mileage was limited to 159 miles per day. Priceline refused to refund the money because they have a statement that says rental company may have additional restrictions - if that is the case, then don’t mislead the consumers into thinking they are renting a car with unlimited mileage. It’s a bait and switch type of practice that takes advantage of the consumers. It’s wrong! Don’t trust anything Priceline advertises and before you use them, read all the fine print and if it’s a vague clause (Carte Blanche) be prepared to be taken advantage of.

    So, I have been using Priceline to book a roundtrip flight to and from my home and school once a week for 6 months now. So needless to say I am an avid customer. I booked a flight for $408 today and less than an hour later got an update about pricing for my flight from Priceline saying that the cost had gone down to $333. I immediately call customer service to see about either canceling and re-booking or receiving credit on my account seeing as how they advertise BEST PRICE GUARANTEE. So, the first representative I call I am midway through my call and mysteriously the call is disconnected. So I casually call back and am on the phone with a representative for approximately 20 minutes. The end result of my call is, that in "his computer system" it is not showing any available reservations for this price, therefore he cannot issue a credit to my account.

    I explain that I am looking right at the computer that shows multiple flight options at that price. He insists that even though they may be available online, in fact they are actually unavailable and are not valid reservations. So then, why would they offer flights at this price if these flights never existed to begin with? Now, let's make this even more interesting. I ask to speak to the manager and he says he will transfer me...AFTER he explains at least 3 times that the manager will say the exact same thing. So once again I am placed on hold and would you care to take a guess at what happens next?... Conveniently the phone line is disconnected again. At this point I proceed to eat lunch before attempting to contact customer service again.

    It is now 2 hours after my last phone call with Priceline and out of curiosity I log back into Priceline and recheck flights and flight pricing...guess what?! THERE ARE NOW EVEN MORE FLIGHTS AND TIME OPTIONS AVAILABLE WITH THAT PRICE?! I think it is absolutely absurd to advertise best price guarantee and then NOT honor it. That is false advertising and needs to be reported to the highest authority...since to knowingly to false advertise a product I am almost certain is against the law of the United States of America.

    To boot, I think treating any customer with this level of disrespect is offensive at best, not to mention frequent customers that travel on average one or more times weekly for months to years. I am deeply offended at the lack of customer care that Priceline provided not to mention lying straight to mine and everyone else's faces under the false facade of their "best price guarantee" slogan. I HIGHLY recommend that NO ONE books with them and seriously reconsider switching travel agency providers.

    Recently purchased airfare from Eugene, Oregon to San Antonio, Texas and return (along with a rental car) through Priceline's website. Since we wanted to have carry-on luggage and choose our seats, we upgraded from "basic economy" to "economy (recommended)" on Priceline's website. Upgrade showed the ability to choose seats but the website wouldn't let us do it at the time of purchase. This is where I believe Priceline's website is somewhat misleading - and as I have since learned, it turns out choice of seats only happens when you check in for the flights. When we couldn't accomplish the seat choices at the time of booking we waited a few weeks and then contacted the two airlines we were booked on. This is where we learned our seats were not guaranteed or designated with either airline but for an additional cost we could make this happen today.

    The first airline cost us an additional $88 to choose our seats and the second airline $218 (this because they had no unassigned economy seats and we had to purchase Economy Plus seats). Contacted Priceline's Customer Service by telephone to try and resolve the issue of the additional $50 per passenger for choice of seats. The answer we got on more than one occasion was you get to pick your seats at check-in (and to us that is not choice of seats that's assignment of seats). Even the airlines we spoke with admitted people traveling together are often separated at check-in depending on seating availability at the time. I even sent an email to Priceline to try and get a response.

    Their response "you need to call one of our Air Travel Service agents". Of course, I did this twice more with no resolution whatsoever. So here we are... Minus $100 for Priceline's Choice of Seats (and no offer to refund) and minus an additional $300 for reserving our seats through the airlines two weeks before our flight. I will not be using Priceline's services again, and you can take to the bank that I will discourage anyone I know from doing so as well.

    I understand the term 'nonrefundable'. What I don't understand is why Priceline uses this tactic when certain situations occur that may be beyond the control of the person planning on renting the car. We were to fly out west for a backpacking trip (early July 2018) and had made all flight and car rental reservations. Recently, the National Forest Service has restricted access to pretty much all public lands located in the northern parts of NM and southern CO. No sense in flying out there now so we cancelled flights (we did not use Priceline for airline ticket purchases) and had to pay a cancellation fee-fine, I understand that.

    It's when we cancelled the "name your price" car rental, which required us to pre-pay the full rental amount at time of the reservation, that things got murky. Alamo, the company that would actually be providing the rental car had no problem whatsoever with refunding us the full amount, except they don't get any of the money we paid Priceline until AFTER we pick up the car, so Priceline is sitting there with our car full rental monies on a car we will not be picking up.

    We called Priceline explaining the situation. I would have been happy to pay some amount as a cancellation fee, however Priceline was not receptive to this and will be keeping our total rental amount for goods and services never to be used by me. Again, I understand the term 'nonrefundable' and that is Priceline's prerogative to employ such business tactics. I also understand that I have the option, which I will use, to never again use Priceline in any capacity for my future travel needs. I also strongly suggest to anyone wishing to use an Priceline's 'name your price' gimmick for travel purchases/rentals to realize this nonrefundable aspect of the contract and Priceline's position in the matter in the event stuff happens and you need to cancel.

    On June 25th 2018 I booked a hotel, as I do many many times throughout the year with Priceline.com. I am aware that from the moment I see the price on the list, to the moment I select the room the price is subject to change. However once I am about to pay, and confirm the price when I pay, it should remain at the agreed upon price. Once I received the confirmation email I noticed the price had changed significantly from the last confirmed price I had seen. When I called to dispute this, they took an exceedingly long amount of time to figure out what was going on. As I tried to explain my situation to a customer service representative, whose English was poor at best, I was told that they had the right to alter the price at any time AFTER I confirmed the booking of the room.

    This is absolutely deceptive and a shady way to do business. I was outraged that they just flat out told me that they can change the price at any point and that there was nothing I could do about it. I understand the price changing BEFORE I pay, and being made aware of this. I do not however think it is acceptable to change the price AFTER I have submitted the payment. I informed them that this is no way to treat a customer that has used their service for years. They just thanked me for my business and that I am free not to use their service anymore. Clearly the little guy does not matter to this company. After this long and useless customer service call I noticed that they have a better price guarantee. So I called again. I spoke with two agents that also were difficult to understand.

    I told them that I had found the same room for less money (I have the screenshots to prove this) and that I wanted the refund as advertised on their site. Long story short, they took an extraordinarily long time to search for these lower prices and then tell me that they cannot find them. I looked again and within seconds found the lower prices. I asked for an email to send them the screenshots and I was told is that it wasn't an option to do so. WHY HAVE A GUARANTEE IF YOU'RE JUST GOING TO LIE? I can find the lower prices, and they just tell me that there is nothing that they can do because they can't see it. I'm finding these price on THEIR website. This was absolutely ridiculous.

I chose an option that did not state that the resort fees were excluded because I wanted to pay everything up front.

When we arrived at the hotel, we were informed that we were to pay the daily resort fee to them upon check in. I showed them my confirmation receipt and because there was no detail they told us we had to pay it and go back to Priceline. The hotel stated they would refund the resort fees we had to pay them directly if I could show them they were paid upfront.

    When we returned home I contacted the Perk site representative to assist me in getting the detail itemizing the $490.56. The representative contacted Priceline, and over the course of a week back and forth Priceline REFUSED to provide the details of the taxes and fees. They also REFUSED to take any responsibility for the offer listing I chose, the one that did not state the "resort fees were excluded". Why will Priceline not provide the details of the $490.56 amount? What does Priceline have to hide? Taxes and fees more than half the room cost? So basically we have no recourse and the hotel will not refund the resort fees they made us pay (an additional $125). This is false advertisement on their offer page and very deceptive on the part of Priceline.

    Searching various hotels for 1 night stay, I see an express deal for a reduce rate. The deal gave example hotels, Extended Stay, Best Western, Holiday Inn Express; so I thought why not. I entered my information to reserve room and Econo Lodge was selected for me. Econo Lodge was not one of the examples listed as a hotel. Highly pissed; I chat with the customer service rep. requesting a refund and cancellation. Rep informed me that reservation was non-refundable, non-transferable and non changeable. Urging everyone to not use Priceline. False advertising!!!

    Priceline has the worst customer service I've ever experienced with any business. I booked a flight and accidentally typed the last name wrong for one of the passengers. I've called Priceline 7 times, been on hold for several hours and have not been able to resolve the issue. Each time I call them, the person on the phone has no idea what I'm talking about even though the person I spoke to before said they were making notes on my account. I get different information as to what I need to do to resolve the issue.

    I've had to email the passenger passport info to Priceline and the airline. Even though the airline approved the name change, Priceline has not assisted me with correcting the name on the reservation. How is this a complicated request? It's like they are refusing to help me on purpose and make it difficult to make any changes to my reservation. This should be illegal! They are quick to take my money for the ticket, but they refuse to assist me! I hate this company! This was my first time using Priceline and it will be my last. This company should be shut down.
