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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    I booked a vacation package through Priceline, but when I called customer service, I was told that although I purchased it on Priceline's website, the reservation was actually processed through Booking.com. Before booking, I researched hotels and the online photos and descriptions made WoodSpring Suites Corpus Christi (1026 S. Padre Island Drive, Corpus Christi, TX) appear to be a decent property with nice amenities and furnishings. Unfortunately, that was not my experience at all.

    When we arrived, the parking lot was nearly empty, and the exterior of the hotel looked run-down, dirty, and poorly maintained. Walking into the building didn't improve my impression. The entrance doors were filthy, and the paint and overall condition of the property clearly showed a lack of upkeep. Since we arrived early, I spoke with the front desk clerk, who advised that check-in was at 3:00 p.m. I specifically asked if the rooms were in good condition, and she assured me they were. I also asked whether returning after 3:00 p.m. would affect our ability to check in, and she said it would not. Finally, I asked if the area was safe or if there were a lot of vagrants nearby. She told me it was a pretty good area.

    When we returned after 4:00 p.m. and checked into our room, we were shocked. As soon as we opened the door, we found a room with a strong unpleasant odor, a heavily rusted refrigerator, stained walls, and a single queen bed that appeared dirty. The room looked nothing like the photos or descriptions used to advertise the property online. We immediately contacted Priceline, who stated itBooking.com because they were handling the reservation. I explained that the property had been misrepresented. The representative acknowledged my concerns but said they don't always know the actual condition of the properties they advertise. That response was unacceptable. If a company is promoting and selling accommodations, it should have accurate information about the property's condition.

    Unfortunately, we were unable to obtain a refund because the front desk clerk—not a manager or supervisor—refused to approve one. To make matters worse, when I went back downstairs to speak with the front desk, a man in the elevator appeared disheveled and under the influence. My husband asked if he had a room there, and he replied that many people like him live at the hotel. That only reinforced our concerns about the property. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend Priceline. I was also very disappointed with how both Priceline and Booking.com handled the situation. My advice is to do your homework, read recent reviews, and don't rely solely on the photos and descriptions posted on Priceline. In my opinion, Priceline and Booking.com should be a last resort when booking accommodations.

    I booked a Southwest Airlines Basic fare through Priceline. I later canceled the ticket before departure and received an email confirming a $192.40 Southwest Airlines travel credit. The cancellation email stated that the credit could be used toward a future Southwest flight. It did not mention that the credit could only be used for a higher fare.

    When I contacted Southwest to use the credit, they told me I had to work through Priceline because Priceline issued the ticket. When I contacted Priceline, I was told that the travel credit cannot be used to book another Basic fare and must instead be applied to a Choice fare. This restriction was not mentioned in my cancellation confirmation email, and I only learned about it after contacting customer support.

    My suggestion to Priceline is to make this much clearer. If a canceled Basic fare credit cannot be used to purchase another Basic fare, that restriction should be stated prominently in the cancellation confirmation email and during the cancellation process so customers understand their options before canceling. If you book Southwest flights through Priceline, ask specifically whether any travel credit from a canceled Basic fare can be used for another Basic fare before relying on the cancellation policy.

    I booked a hotel/car rental package for Las Vegas through Priceline. The hotel was fine, my complaint is with the car rental. When I picked up the car the representative had me give them a credit card for a security deposit. She then asked me to sign some spots on the tablet. When I asked what I was signing she said it was for the security deposit and would be returned to the card when the car was returned.

    After returning the car, several days passed and the card was not reimbursed so I called Priceline and was told that I needed to call Fox Rent A Car to have them give me back the deposit. After calling them and finding that they had misrepresented the information I had signed and being told they would not give me a reimbursement, I called Priceline again. The representative said they would email Fox Rent A Car for me and would let me know next steps. 2 days later I got an email stating that I needed to call Fox Rent A Car customer service for a resolution, I called again and was again told they would not reimburse the money to my card. Priceline should be more knowledgeable about the companies they partner with and protect their customers from deceptive practices such as these. In reading other online reviews this seems to be a constant problem with Priceline.

    They booked 4 rooms from Motel 6, Chattanooga Airport which did not exist. They did not give me a usable onsite, frontdesk phone # and they did not give Motel 6 even a slightly close phone no. with which the motel could warn me. Priceline Trip #**, Motel confirmation #** (for 4 double queen rooms). Because I had had a bad, similar experience with Priceline a couple of years ago, I always speak to the hotel directly to be sure I have what Priceline says they booked for me. I spent probably an hour trying to find a phone number for the location's front desk. As I also wished to request one of the four double queen rooms be switched to a king if possible, when I finally reached a voice which confirmed the change had been made (though I kinda' knew I wasn't speaking an onsite person), I accepted that my reservation was confirmed.

    Twelve of my family reached the motel, at about 3:30-4:00, to leave a sick son-in-law and a dog, while we went to a 5:30 tour of Ruby Falls ($360 for those timed entry tickets). We found they had been overbooked and had not been given a valid phone no. from Priceline so they could reach us earlier in the day. Then the clerk told me I needed to reach out to Priceline for a refund.

    This was SUCH a horrible experience. Scrambling to find more rooms in a hurry (which cost us twice as much), a mad son-in-law, five anxious grandchildren. I will never even open Priceline's website again, nor will I stay at a Motel 6. A few days later I spent at least three hours on the phone trying to find out how such a bad, bad thing could happen and to explain how angry I was to both parties. I had lots of foreign born accents and false promises that someone would call me back. A front desk clerk named Kin, was most sympathetic with our angst, but the closest I got to an apology from any of the other 8-10 people I (finally) spoke with was an AI saying, "Yes, of course you are upset . . .

It seems like a scam anymore. They are not informed of their own itineraries. A contact to the requested booking is all it takes if they do not have much info on their listing.

So we missed the son's graduation, lost time from work, and repaired our vehicle. Took forever to get the cancellation done and had to go to a supervisor. After haggling, was not going to get the 1st night back. But will the second night. So they said. Never got that refund. I've been contacting Priceline but their 3rd party over seas based booking and customer service, Travel Pass Group, is awful. They, supposedly, put a complaint in on my behalf, 2 weeks later. I have left messages at corporate office, 203-299-8000. There is no customer service there, so pick one. Weeks later, still no refund as I was told. I would not use Priceline anymore. It's a shame.

    ⭐☆☆☆☆ (0/5 Stars). I am extremely disappointed with Priceline and the way my booking issue was handled. I booked and paid over $1,000 for a four-night stay based on Priceline’s advertised room description and photos. The listing clearly showed a King Suite with Roll-In Shower and Sofa Bed, a 549-square-foot suite with a separate living area, kitchenette, dining area, and accommodations for up to four guests.

    When I arrived at the hotel, I was given a room that looked nothing like the room Priceline advertised. Instead of the spacious suite shown in the listing, I received what appeared to be a standard king room with a sofa. The advertised layout, space, and amenities were not present. To make matters worse, the sofa in the room was stained and appeared dirty.

    I immediately contacted Priceline for assistance. The first customer service representative called the hotel and later advised me that the hotel staff had been rude and uncooperative with him as well. He then transferred me to a supervisor. After I explained the situation and the differences between the advertised room and the room I received, the supervisor contacted the hotel and came back claiming the hotel was correct. At that point, Priceline completely failed me as a customer. Rather than addressing the obvious discrepancy between the advertised accommodations and what was provided, Priceline simply accepted the hotel’s response and refused to help.

    Consumers rely on Priceline’s descriptions and photos when making travel decisions. If the room being advertised is not the room being provided, that is misleading. Even worse, when a customer presents a legitimate complaint, Priceline should investigate and advocate for the customer instead of automatically siding with the hotel. I paid for the room Priceline advertised, not the room I received. Because of this experience, I will be filing complaints with the Better Business Bureau and other consumer protection agencies.

    I strongly recommend that travelers take screenshots of all room descriptions and photos before booking through Priceline. This experience has completely eroded my trust in the company. Very disappointed. Priceline’s customer service and commitment to customer satisfaction were nowhere to be found when I needed them most.

I ended up accepting a refund and I scrambled to find other lodging last minute at a popular national park which resulted in us being much further from the park in a less ideal location and at a much higher cost.

    Concerned for my health, I immediately packed up my belongings, went down to the front desk, explained the situation. The lady at the desk apologized and told me to call Priceline regarding my refund. I went to a different hotel and immediately called them. During the call, the representative who picked up the phone told me that I would be refunded within 3-5 business days. 15 days later, there were still no refunds. I called again. This time their representative told me they reached out to the hotel and couldn’t get in touch with them. I called the hotel, which in turn, told me Priceline never called.

    I booked a stay through Priceline that was tied to Majestic Mirage Costa Mujeres for Feb 12–17, 2026. Upon arrival at the resort, my reservation could not be found in their system despite the booking being fully paid and confirmed. This led to a major disruption that lasted approximately 8 hours, involving repeated phone calls between myself, Priceline support, and hotel staff while trying to verify basic reservation details. Instead of a seamless check-in, I was effectively left in limbo trying to prove I had an active booking.

    During this process, I was also asked by hotel staff to provide personal financial documentation, including a bank statement, which was inappropriate given that payment confirmation already existed through Priceline. Although a partial refund of $131.29 was eventually issued, it did not reflect the extent of the disruption, time loss, or stress caused by the failure in coordination between Priceline and the property.

    The core issue was not just a hotel check-in problem, but a breakdown in communication and reliability between Priceline and the resort. Resolution was slow, fragmented, and placed the burden almost entirely on the customer. Based on this experience, I would be cautious using Priceline for important travel bookings where reliable reservation handling and real-time support are critical.

    I will never recommend Priceline. I used them to make an appointment in May 2026 for a hotel in Connecticut for June 2026. The representative booked my appointment for three days at one hotel, but also booked an appointment for one day at Best Western. While still on the line, I asked him to remove that booking, he stated he could not and sent me to cancellation. I have been going back and forth with them from that moment until now trying to get that wrong reservation cancelled. They have been giving me a total runaround. They continually say they will send an email and contact me by phone. Neither as of now have happened. I have called basically every day or every 2 to 3 days, with no resolution as of now. I called on Thursday, June 11, 2026 and spoke with a supervisor name Dell (2 time speaking with a Supervisor) but no notes.

    The previous time the Sup was name Dell but she said she was not the same, so I got her ID# ** this time, and she was supposed to call me at 10 AM June 15, 2026. Of course I have not received a call. I am currently on hold waiting on a supervisor to come on the line. I have disputed the charge with my credit card but it is a Priceline card (go figure). I am so disappointed and upset with the runaround, the non-help, and the lies that I have received. After talking with the last Supervisor (Dell) I received an email that Best Western said that I had actually stayed there, Well since I did not as I talk with the Current supervisor, I asked him to have them to send over a photo ID of the reservation stay. So many lies and not sure where it is coming from. But it is frustrating that a Billion dollar company can not see the error from their agent and refund me 400 dollars.

    To them it is not much but to me it is a lot. I even offered while I still had time to cancel the reservation at Days Inn and add two more rooms at Best Western, but that did not pan out because they wanted me to get two more rooms for 1800 total which would have made the total amount around 2500. I will never recommend anyone to use Priceline and will most likely depending on the outcome of my disupute. If not favorably close out my credit card with them.

    DO NOT use Priceline ever! We booked a room for two nights at the Fairfield Marriott in Louisville, KY. We were in town for my daughter’s freshman orientation. We booked a room off Priceline that they marked as fitting 4 people. However 10:30 on Sunday night we pulled out the sofa and it was a twin. I went down to the front desk who all of their staff was wonderful. They once said it isn’t a 4-person room but a 3 person. I called Priceline and after multiple reps lying, stating they were calling front desk in which they weren’t, because I was standing right there on speaker phone. Front desk told them to call back in the boring to speak with their manager to initiate refund for the night.

    Saturday morning, the hotel moved us before we left for orientation. Throughout the day, I then made 4 more phone calls where Jun a supervisor, said there was nothing they could do about misrepresenting the room and I had to sleep on the floor since they moved us room the next morning. I then escalated it even more to any executive email I could find. I got a call where she said she was only able to offer $51 of the $101.

    My point to them was you misrepresented room, it was their fault not the hotel, they never called the manager until 5 pm after I got the call from someone from their executive dept. where I explained to them all the lies from their CSR and the supervisors. I’m in fact still waiting on an email from Supervisor Jun regarding all my calls into their support, what was promised and that they refused a one-night refund for them misrepresenting their room and having one of us to make a bed on the floor. They are -00% horrible, horrible customer support, horrible customer-facing problem-solving.

I received the confirmation and it realized. Called back immediately. Was told it was nonrefundable and the only way to correct was for them to cancel the reservation and call the hotel for approval to refund the money and then make a new reservation. I said ok. They called the hotel and customer service told me they said no. I called the hotel and that was not true. The hotel confirmed to me they told me to refund me the amount.

So double check or triple check the info is accurate!! because when they offer you those cheap trips they use hotels that do not offer cancelation or refunds!

    I will never use Priceline for a car rental again. The prices look great when you're booking, but the reality was completely different. It felt like a politician's promise—sounds good at first, but doesn't deliver when it matters. When I arrived to pick up my rental car, either the car wasn't available or there wasn't anyone there to help. After planning my trip around this reservation, I was left frustrated and without the service I paid for. A reservation should mean that a vehicle is actually available when you arrive. Instead, I was left dealing with uncertainty, delays, and poor customer service. The low prices aren't worth the hassle if the reservation can't be honored.

    Based on my experience, I won't be using Priceline for car rentals again. If you're looking for a rental company, I highly recommend Avis. In my experience, Avis has been reliable, professional, and has taken care of me when I needed a vehicle. I'd rather pay for dependable service than risk being left stranded. I would recommend others think carefully before relying on Priceline rental reservations.

    I booked with Priceline with a hotel I was very familiar with and upon arriving to the hotel, I was told I did not have a reservation. Front desk went to the back to "call the manager" and afterwards informed me that my reservation was transferred to another hotel they owned. Priceline never alerted me to this change. I had to pay a deposit at this hotel (the other hotel doesn't make you put a deposit) and once getting the room, it was filthy and not at all comparable to what I had booked.

    My reservation and confirmation via VIP account on the Priceline app and website still say I am staying at the other hotel that I booked. I called customer service and the first person I spoke to agreed that was not right and was not at all ok. I was transferred after being on hold for over 20 minutes and was told there was nothing they could do because I had gone into the room at the other hotel. I will never use Priceline ever again and will recommend Super to everyone moving forward.

    I have been a loyal Priceline customer with multiple successful bookings in the past, which is why this experience was especially disappointing. On March 24, 2026, my nine-year-old son and I booked a hotel room through Priceline. When we arrived, the front desk informed us that all air conditioning units at the property were not working. In Arizona heat near 100°F, staying there was not a safe or reasonable option, especially with a child. The hotel provided us with a cancellation/refund receipt, and we were forced to find last-minute accommodations elsewhere. We never stayed at the hotel or used any services.

    After more than two months of repeated communication, providing documentation, and speaking with multiple supervisors who assured us they would help resolve the issue, Priceline ultimately denied our $58 refund. This was a circumstance entirely outside of our control, and the hotel's inoperable air conditioning was never disclosed at booking. Had we known, we would have booked elsewhere. Very disappointed with how this was handled and hope Priceline reconsiders situations like this with greater fairness and customer care. ~Jason

As a result I am continuing communication with Routes until resolved as Priceline states my argument is with the car rental. I have emailed Routes Multiple times.

    Booked a trip well in advance and, upon arrival, was told my booking was at a different hotel. My confirmation said I was at this specific hotel, but the front desk was told to send me elsewhere when I showed up. No big deal though, I don't really mind but when I showed up to the room they sent me to, there was already someone inside. I didn't know this person and didn't know if they knew I was supposed to be there too. I decided to stay with a friend and get it resolved in the morning.

    So far, I've been told I would receive a call back from Priceline 4 times, but that never came. The front desk at the hotel I was supposed to be staying at was more helpful. Priceline, a third-party booking site, uses a fourth party to book, and all the CSRs I spoke to somehow didn't know this. I've still yet to get a resolution. I do not recommend using Priceline. Also, as a side note, the automated voice that picks up doesn't understand the word yes, correct, sí, or any other form of confirmation, which makes confirming your trip number like slamming your head into a wall. Luckily, if it fails enough times, they'll just connect you.

    They 100% know that the Collision Damage Protection they offer is fraudulent and dishonest. They know, you won’t be able to pick up your car rental without paying the rental car company’s own insurance. They are knowingly misleading you to steal your money. Then they make it hard for you to cancel that insurance and get a refund AFTER it did nothing. You’re stuck with paying that one and the one Priceline offered which they market it as “you won’t need to pay anything else and you can give them a hard NO.” THAT is completely false. I tried calling them while on my vacation and the AI bot says “I can help with refunds and cancellations which is faster than talking to agent”. She denied me so I called them as soon as I got home.

    They claim that the bot told me to talk to an agents (false) and now they can’t do anything because it’s been more 72 hours… THEIR AI BOT IS DENYING EVERYONE AND THEN THEY BLAME THE CUSTOMER FOR NOT TALKING TO AN AGENT (while on vacation).

    Warning: be careful with flight deals you purchase via Priceline, especially when the airline confirmation is for a flight # by "FlexFlight". There is no such airline and when you get to the airport and cannot find any flights to your destination with the flight # around the time the confirmation is shown on your Priceline confirmation, you may find out that the particular flight will leave several hours later. We had to purchase one-way tickets, at double the price paid to Priceline, to get to the destination in time. Requesting a refund from Priceline is a waste of time, as they pass the buck to "FlexFlight". Legally, you dealt with and paid Priceline, so just dispute the charge with your credit card.

Unfortunately, there is no way to reach a human being at Priceline. When you call the number on Priceline it directs you to the chat box again.

    AFTER booking I received an email from them stating I would get a $38 refund… After calling customer service I was told that the “airline” wouldn’t “honor” Priceline’s quote and that they are third party and couldn't do anything about it. I only booked through them because it seemed like a good deal… I was offered hotel “coupons” for future bookings which I declined. Be warned, if you're looking to get ripped off, they have it down to a science with the customer service reps that repeat the same stuff over and over. Will never use again!

    Absolutely terrible experience with Priceline. I paid for checked bags for a ROUND TRIP flight, but later discovered on the airline’s website that the baggage purchase only applied to the departure flight — even though the Priceline receipt clearly made it appear that it covered both flights. Customer service was completely useless. Multiple agents refused to acknowledge what was plainly stated on the receipt and just kept repeating scripted responses instead of actually helping. Then I was transferred to the “escalation team” and sat on hold for OVER TWO HOURS without ever speaking to anyone. At that point it honestly felt like they were just trying to wear me down until I gave up. Misleading booking information and some of the worst customer service I’ve ever dealt with. I will never use Priceline again.

    They also operate a business called American Forces Travel, which offers similar services to veterans and military members. Through this service, I purchased a travel package that included a rental vehicle, along with additional insurance coverage for protection during the trip. Unfortunately, I was involved in a minor fender bender that resulted in approximately $4,000 in damages. Over the following two and a half months, I spent considerable time attempting to obtain the documentation required for the claim process—documents that insurance companies typically secure themselves. In several cases, I had to seek out alternative sources and use significant initiative to gather the necessary paperwork. At the time of the rental reservation, I selected the “Manager’s Choice” option, which indicated that Budget would provide any available vehicle suitable for our needs.

    Our party consisted of four passengers plus luggage. Upon arrival, the only vehicle available that met those requirements was a four-door pickup truck. After completing the extensive claims process and providing all requested documentation, the claim was ultimately denied on the basis that the vehicle was classified as a truck rather than a car. At no point during the reservation or insurance agreement process was such a restriction disclosed or stated in the terms provided to me. In my opinion, this reflects extremely misleading business practices. The company appears willing to accept payment for coverage, yet avoids honoring claims through undisclosed exclusions that were never clearly communicated to customers.

    Updated on 08/02/2026: I am still waiting for a refund for a hotel that we never used since it was permanently closed (with no prior notice to us) when we arrived in April. It has now been over 3 months. Priceline will charge you the same day you book but they are glacial in giving refunds and they apparently do no real follow up with the properties they book for you. I've already shredded my Priceline credit card since it and they are both worthless and I'll never book with them again although I was a satisfied customer for several years. One star is too many.

    Original: On a recent trip to Oklahoma we had booked several motels thru Priceline. At two of them, when we checked in, the motel had no record of the reservation because they had stopped dealing with Priceline about 12/31/25. Fortunately, those motels still had vacancies and we got rooms after showing proof of booking or payment. At a third place, when we arrived we found the motel office boarded up and a construction crew on the premises renovating. A call to the motel confirmed that they had canceled our prepaid reservation on 1/31/26 but I received no notice or refund. In fact, Priceline had emailed me just four days prior to confirm the reservation that had been canceled over two months prior! Go figure. I have liked and used Priceline for many years without any incidents like this so what's happening now?

    I booked a hotel Express Deal on Priceline for the same day I was staying at it. I had to pay the bill at booking and traveled 3 hours to the hotel. This booking is nonrefundable and cannot be changed unless you talk to an actual person at Priceline. The hotel cannot or does not have to help you because Priceline is their customer, not you. They did not have the room I booked and I was told they could not change anything about the booking. I needed to go thru Priceline. Actually getting to talk to a live person at Priceline is difficult and time consuming, if you're successful. Luckily the hotel was eventually able to get me in a room but not before scaring me with not having a room and facing a fight with Priceline for a refund. After we got in the room I read several accounts where this same thing happened to others that they never received a refund or a room.

    We booked through Priceline which ended up magically being booked through Booking.com. THEN, 18 hours after the cancellation window closed, Spirit Airlines tells us that they're cancelling flights starting May 2, and our flight is May 15! We called Priceline where the confirmation came from. They tell us to call booking.com. After 30 minutes on hold, booking.com asks us for a pin number that never came with the reservation. Then they accidentally disconnect the call. Ultimately, I reached out directly to the hotel to see if we could be forgiven the 40% cancellation penalty given the extraordinary circumstances of the airline going out of business and being only 18 hours beyond the cancellation window. All of this trouble with the booking and reaching a live, understanding person related to the hotel is the reason for the low review. Priceline has become a bunch of smoke and mirrors as it relates to customer service.

    I am sharing this experience to inform other consumers about potential issues I encountered when booking travel through Priceline. During a recent package booking, I was not clearly presented with all material terms and conditions prior to completing the transaction. Specifically, the non-refundable nature of the hotel reservation was not made apparent to me until after the booking had been finalized. This lack of upfront disclosure significantly impacted my ability to make an informed purchasing decision.

    After discovering the restriction, I attempted to contact the hotel directly (National 9 Showboat in Casper, Wyoming) to discuss possible options. Despite multiple attempts—approximately 16 calls—I was unable to successfully reach staff, as the calls were either disconnected or not answered.

    This experience raises concerns about transparency in the booking process and the adequacy of communication regarding cancellation policies. Consumers rely on clear, conspicuous disclosure of key terms—especially refundability—before payment is submitted. I encourage others to carefully review all terms and conditions, including cancellation and refund policies, before completing bookings through third-party platforms. It may also be advisable to confirm policies directly with the hotel in advance when possible.

    I bought 2 tickets through Priceline for Frontier Airlines, clearly indicated in their website "Economy." When I got my confirmation, after paying of course, the tickets were "Basic," which means I have to pay $79 each way x 2 passengers for a carry on or a checked bag. That adds $316 to my trip, not counting I cannot choose a seat. I called Priceline and they passed me on to Frontier. Frontier says Priceline needs to help. In other words, I am out of $316 plus seats. I cannot cancel because I bought a package with a rental car which will cost me $50 cancellation fee and having to deal with Avis directly, another nightmare. This is a classical case of bait and switch. I had used Priceline in the past for auto rentals with no problems and this really turned me off with this company.

    We had an extremely frustrating and unacceptable experience with Priceline. After driving over 10+ hours, we arrived at a Quality Inn in New Mexico, only to be told that our reservation was not valid because Priceline never paid the hotel. As a result, the hotel refused to give us a room. We travel frequently, and this is honestly the first time we have ever experienced something like this. We immediately contacted Priceline, and instead of resolving the issue, they asked us to cancel and rebook. However, once we canceled (based on their instruction), we were unable to rebook anything. Hotels in the area were either fully booked or priced outrageously high (over $800 per night).

    We were transferred between multiple departments and even spoke to a supervisor, but no one provided a solution, compensation, or accountability. To make matters worse, Priceline claimed that WE canceled the reservation, when in reality we were never properly notified of any issue beforehand. This left us stranded late at night after a long drive, with no hotel, no assistance, and no responsibility taken by Priceline. This experience is completely unacceptable. I strongly advise others to be cautious when booking through Priceline, as their system failures can leave you without a place to stay and no support when you need it most.

    I booked a flight through Priceline and paid the extra fee to select seats with more room. However, on the day of my flight, the flight was canceled and the airline put me on another flight, where they gave me standard middle seats with no option to upgrade. Regarding the fee that I paid for the assigned seats, I was told I had to call Priceline customer service to request a refund. Easier said than done. On my first call, the automated system told me that they would call me back in 1 hour and 20 min.

    After two hours with no call back, I decided to call again (probably a mistake that reset my clock). This time, they said the call back would be in over three hours. When they finally did call me back, I was told by the representative that they could not help me, and I would have to call back in a few days. I asked if there was another way for me to contact them, like via email, and was told I would have to call the automated system and then wait for a callback, with no priority based on the previous call. I suspect that this is by design, where they hope people just give up.

    I booked what I thought would be a convenient, stress-free hotel, car, and airline bundle through Priceline. The idea of bundling everything together is supposed to simplify travel—especially when you’re traveling with a family. Unfortunately, while the airline portion of the trip went smoothly and we were satisfied with that experience, everything else turned into an absolute nightmare.

    To start, the rental car situation was completely misleading. When you book a travel bundle, there is a very reasonable expectation that your rental car will be accessible at the airport—especially after a long flight with children. Instead, we were informed that the rental cars were located off-site, requiring us to arrange and pay for a taxi just to pick up the vehicle. That is not just inconvenient—it’s deceptive. After already dealing with travel fatigue, the last thing anyone wants is to coordinate additional transportation just to get a car. I ended up canceling the reservation entirely and booking a separate rental directly at the airport, which cost me more time, stress, and money. However, that inconvenience pales in comparison to what happened next.

    We then drove TWO HOURS through the mountains to reach the beachfront house we had reserved. We arrived around 8 PM—tired, hungry, with four children—fully expecting to finally relax after a long day of travel. Instead, we were met with something that I can only describe as shocking and completely unacceptable: the house was padlocked shut and clearly uninhabitable. We later discovered that there had been a fire at the property TWO MONTHS PRIOR.

    Two months. Priceline had been informed of this incident well in advance and still allowed me to book this property, take my money, and send my family directly into this situation without any warning whatsoever. There was no notification, no email, no alternative accommodation offered—nothing. We were left standing outside a burned, locked property in the dark with absolutely no place to go. At that moment, I felt a mix of disbelief, anger, and panic. We were 1,850 miles from home in Puerto Rico, in an unfamiliar area, at night, with four children and no safe place to stay. This was not just an inconvenience—this was a complete failure of responsibility on Priceline’s part.

    I immediately called Priceline for help, hoping they would step in and fix a situation that was entirely their fault. After waiting on hold for 20 minutes—while standing outside with my children—I was connected to a representative who barely spoke English and, quite frankly, provided zero help. ZERO. Even more infuriating, the representative admitted that Priceline had been aware for months that this property was no longer accepting guests.

    Let that sink in. They knew. And they still let me book it. Despite that admission, there was no urgency, no accountability, no attempt to find us a replacement stay, no escalation—nothing. I was met with indifference when I needed help the most. I was so overwhelmed with frustration and anger that I broke down in tears and had to hang up because it was clear I was getting nowhere.

    After taking about 10 minutes to pull myself together, I realized that Priceline was not going to help us, and I had to figure this out on my own. Late at night, exhausted, and stressed beyond belief, I turned to Airbnb and thankfully managed to secure a place. But even that came with another burden—we had to drive TWO HOURS BACK to San Juan in the dark, after everything we had already been through.

    This entire experience was not just inconvenient—it was dangerous, negligent, and completely unacceptable. Priceline failed at every level: they misrepresented the car rental, allowed a known uninhabitable property to remain bookable, took no responsibility, and abandoned a family in a vulnerable situation without support.

    I am beyond disgusted and angry. No company should be allowed to operate this way—knowingly putting customers in unsafe situations and then refusing to take accountability. This wasn’t just poor service; it was a complete breakdown of trust and basic duty of care. I will never use Priceline again, and I strongly urge anyone considering booking through them to think twice. What happened to my family should never happen to anyone.

    Given the fact that they had no compassion when I told them I was sick and could not travel blows my mind. Priceline and Frontier will never have to worry about me anymore. never book through them again. I tried numerous times to purchase. This is the message I kept getting, "Trip protection purchase failed. Your trip has been booked, but the insurance you selected has not been purchased.Trip protection purchase failed. Your trip has been booked, but the insurance you selected has not been purchased. Sorry, Technical Issue"

    "Unfortunately your protection purchase could not be completed at this time. Please try again." This is the message I kept getting each time I tried to purchase it. I am over them. They will never have to worry about me as long as I live ever again because the mere fact that their website is the issue and I called and they could see each time I tried to purchase it and it failed every time

    To me this a con firm used by Booking.com to inflate fees without transparency and with unfair cancelation policy. You can book a room but expect much higher charges when you can't cancel your credit card charge.

    Couldn't be more useless. All I'm trying to do is modify my car pick up and drop off TIME, not even the date, and they say 'Contact the rental car company.' So I contact the rental car company, and they say 'Contact Priceline. Can't help you' SO ALL I GET IS A FRIGGIN RUNAROUND ALL BECAUSE I WANT TO MAKE A SIMPLE CHANGE AND NO ONE WILL HELP ME. I'll never use Priceline every again. Ridiculous.
