    I will never use Priceline again. I have email confirmation showing that I can cancel my reservation for a full refund if it's done before a certain date. Then I did cancel my reservation and they would not refund me. I called twice, sat on hold for an hour and a half the first time, 45 minutes a second time and still they would not refund my reservation. I wish I could give zero stars. I will never use them again.

    Very Disappointed with Agent Z. ** and Priceline. I had a disappointing experience with Agent Z. ** when booking a cruise for me and my sisters. He provided a quote on Friday evening, and I told him I needed to confirm with my sisters before booking. He assured me that the price would not change and mentioned that if I wanted, I could book with another agent since my information was in the system. I made it clear that I would wait until he returned to work the following Tuesday (after the holiday) so that he could receive the credit for the booking.

    However, when I spoke with him on Tuesday, the price had increased by $700 compared to the original quote. Although he apologized and acknowledged it was his mistake, there was no effort to resolve the issue or adjust the price. He mentioned speaking to a supervisor, but ultimately, I received no follow-up email or acknowledgment of the matter from him or Priceline. I ended up going to Liberty Travel and securing the same cruise for the original price I was quoted by Priceline. This experience was both frustrating and unprofessional, and I am very disappointed with how Priceline handled the.

    If I could leave the stars blank I would. We rented a car through Priceline from Dollar Rent a car. I paid for a Premium car. I needed to tweak the reservation a little bit so I called Dollar and was advised any changes had to be done via Priceline. I reached out to Priceline and was advised I would have to cancel my reservation and remake one. It was a minor change so I just left the reservation as is. When I picked up my car I was downgraded to a lower class car, I said something to the agent but it fell on deaf ears so I decided I would just take it up with Priceline.

    When I called Priceline looking for a credit I was told I needed to deal with the rental agency. I explained that I paid Priceline and I am Priceline customer. Why should I call Dollar? They told me I needed to go to the Dollar website and fill out the complaint form. No such tab on the website as I checked while on the phone. They then told me I need to google dollar complaints. Nope I do not, I called and disputed charges. Never ever again will I use this shady company, I was warned by a co-worker not to use them, I should have listened.

    I’ve been charged twice for my Christmas Day stay—once by Priceline and once by the hotel—and I’m beyond frustrated. I’ve been stuck in an endless loop between the two, with neither willing to take responsibility or issue a refund. Priceline keeps insisting they can’t contact the hotel, yet I managed to reach the front desk in less than five minutes. How is this even possible for a company of their size? Both parties keep deflecting, leaving me stuck in the middle of their mess. This is absolutely unacceptable. I’m furious, and you can bet I’ll be leaving negative reviews everywhere.

    NU Car Rental is nothing but fraud! You should not allow them on Priceline. We called before trip to change pickup time- they wouldn’t allow it. Gave us 2 hour grace period- We were in line exactly 2 hours later but by the time we got to the extremely RUDE agent we were told too bad. Charged us 400$ for rental. I did not receive a refund for the initial 200$! If priceline continues to support them- I will discontinue my use of priceline.

    Our Horrible Experience at this hotel! Confirmation number **, Rodeway Inn South Miami-Coral Gables, 5959 SW 71st Street Miami FL 33143. We stayed only the night of the 17th of January. Here are the intolerable conditions under which we barely slept and withstood because had no other place to go at the moment.

    1. People in another room with a blaring loud TV, blasting all night.
    2. People running and laughing through the hallways at 2 and 3 in the morning.
    3. The toilet did not work properly and took a long time to flush.
    4. There was no refrigerator nor microwave in the room, a bare minimum in most hotels nowadays.
    5. The mattresses in the beds were literally sinking; we also found human hairs and clipped nails on the sheets.
    6. The stench of humidity and mold was super strong, and it made us, including our special needs daughter, start coughing.
    7. Everywhere you walked was full of water on the floor: hallways, the parking garage.

    8. The “hotel” looked and felt more like a half-way house, with shady looking characters milling around.

    How can a supposedly reputable company, like Priceline, not do their research of the premises they endorse in its platform. It is shameful, and abusive. WE WANT OUR MONEY REFUNDED, BECAUSE OF THIS AWFUL EXPERIENCE. And I will certainly post these comments as reviews everywhere I can!

    RUN!!!! Priceline is recommending EASIRENT CAR RENTAL. I rented from Phoenix, AZ. I trusted Priceline. Shame on ME...RUN!!!! Worst shuttle service. WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!! They scam you on fees. Bully the elderly into paying for insurance they don't need. The three women working at the newish Phoenix Az spot are the worst representation of helpful customer service EVER. There was a poor woman from Italy desperately trying to get her car, manage her family, there is nowhere to sit, and communicate with women that only want to talk to each other and BLAST Videos. There is a sign up log when you walk in but you wouldn't know it because there is nothing to indicate it and no one there will tell you.

    So you can stand in line as long as you want, and with 2 people helping you, the third left in the middle of a line of people stating "That was my last car", you won't be helped because...you didn't sign the LOG. THEN...there is nowhere to indicate where to stand outside to wait for the Shuttle so when he arrived he pulled 45 feet further forward and YELLED out the door "WELL, if you are going to all stand where I need to park you DESERVE to walk to get on the bus" DIRECT QUOTE. I have been renting cars for years...This is the WORST I have ever seen. They need to go back to Miami. That is where this branch flooded in from and imported many of its workers because no one here wanted to work for them, and they won't pay Airport fees so they cannot be onsite. The shuttle driver's own words. RUN...JUST RUN.

    I was pricing how much a room could be and I booked on accident and I immediately called the hotel to let them know and asked for a refund. Which the hotel employee told me to call Priceline and have them call to sort it out. I’m nowhere near where the room was booked and I had to take $70 lost. Priceline did nothing to help me get my money back. Just sent me on a run around for two days to tell me no. Absolutely the worst experience of my life. Regret ever googling for a hotel.

    Priceline has become no better than any other business, maybe worse. They have changed their website to where you see a price and the price is now for a standard room. There is no real description of the standard room. They now have a bubble to the right on your screen that encourages you to call them. If you call them, they tell you that there is no guarantee that you can get the room that you want at the advertised price and then start their upsell garbage. When I pointed it out to the person on the phone, I was told that he was there to give me the best deal possible. He told me if I wasn't happy with the service, don't use it. Priceline, welcome to the world of Comcast, Verizon and every other company that is all about money and making customers just another number on a balance sheet. Well done!

    I booked a room through Priceline on Jan 14th because my home is being renovated so I couldn't stay there for 2 days. The motel was Baymont in Florence South Carolina. I got off work at around 840 and arrived at the motel at 940pm. I noticed the room was dirty but figured I'd make the best of it then pick a different room the next night after being tired from working 13 hrs. I cleaned the tub then took a shower. There were no towels so I'm glad I had my own. Then I get out the shower and go to sink. I see a roach. I kill it and am getting more skeptical about my stay. I put my blanket over the bed and sit down drying off. I finish drying off and moisturizing then I see another roach. At this point I'm done so I start gathering my stuff and see a third roach. I go to front desk and the door is locked and the lady working act like she didn't notice me and wouldn't respond. So I try and find a way to contact Priceline.

    I couldn't get anyone when calling so did instant chat with them but all they would tell me was to call that number so I left the motel. I finally got someone from Priceline on the phone and he put me on hold forever just to reply, "The motel said since you went in the room they can not refund you." I have all the pictures of the nastiness of the room and roaches on the wall. I will never use Priceline again. Their company shouldn't even have motels this nasty on their platform.

    I have been using Priceline for many years that they call me a "gold member" not that it comes with any benefits. I am very disappointed with a recent transaction, which I would like to share to express my frustration and also to make others aware of a problem which is not clear. I purchased a round trip ticket from Dubai to Boston for an elderly family member with insurance. I was told by a priceline custom service member at the time of purchase that the ticket with insurance gives the option to make changes for unavoidable reasons including health problems, mechanical issues with the flight or flight cancellations. I paid the extra and purchased the insurance to have that option as my family member has some health issues.

    Two days before the departure of the return flight the family member got sick and I was advised by healthcare professional it's not safe for the person to travel. It would be very irresponsible to make the person travel inconveniencing herself and potentially making other passengers sick. I contacted priceline two days ahead of the return trip (Boston to Dubai) to make changes to the reservation and I was told that I can't do that as the ticket has been partially used meaning the ticket was used for one way (Dubai to Boston), which came as a total surprise to me.

    The insurance offered by priceline is confusing to say the least and in fact it seems like a scam. I would not recommend using it unless you get clarification on all different scenarios (which may be hard to imagine as life is full of surprises!). I don't see any advantage using priceline over other online sites where tickets can be purchased for just about the same price or even cheaper at times. This has been a very bad experience for me and will not use priceline anymore for my travels.

    My family and I used Priceline to book a flight back in the summer. They took the money from the bank acct but then fraudulently used another card to purchase the airline ticket. When the airline caught it, they cancelled our flight. Priceline still got our money but never took ownership of making the mistake with the airline. I even sent proof of fraud to the executive offices of Priceline and was blown off. I have emails and a bank statement to prove they took our money but we never got the tickets. It was cancelled shortly after the confirmation came through. The airline said they refunded Priceline but Priceline denies it and refuses to refund us. It's been 6 months now and Priceline has still not made good on stealing over $700 from us. Do NOT use them. Someone put our money in their pocket and executive office accepts the behavior.

    Worst customer service and bad experience. I am writing to express my deep disappointment with the auto rental service I received from Hertz upon my arrival at San Antonio airport. Despite having a confirmed reservation for a Mid-Size SUV through Priceline, Hertz was dismissive and claimed that the issue lay with Priceline, stating that they had booked me into a small SUV in their system. In response, I contacted Priceline's customer service and was transferred to a supervisor. After a lengthy hold during which he discussed the matter with Hertz's ground staff, he informed me that they would address the issue internally. He also mentioned that he was initiating a refund and would send me an email regarding it.

    However, instead of receiving confirmation of my refund, I received multiple emails suggesting that I book with another company or through Priceline, promising reimbursement for the new booking. I inquired why, after waiting for over an hour at the Hertz rental counter, my reservation could not be transferred to Hertz or another provider based on my original booking. To my surprise, the supervisor raised his voice and stated he did not understand the issue, insisting that he was processing my refund but could not provide confirmation as it was documented. He then abruptly ended the call, stating he was done.

    This experience is unacceptable and reflects poorly on Priceline. The issues I encountered include:

    Refusal to honor my confirmed reservation.
    Lack of effort to accommodate my booking despite available Mid-Size SUVs.
    Dismissive attitude towards third-party reservations.
    Over an hour wasted with no resolution offered.

    Rude and unhelpful staff.

    The overall experience was frustrating and unprofessional. The inability of your team to provide a solution or even attempt to accommodate a confirmed reservation is unacceptable for a major car rental company. As a result of this poor service, I will not be using Hertz for future rentals. I urge you to address these issues at your San Antonio airport location to prevent similar experiences for other customers.

The price was cheap but service was horrible. 1) Nowhere on the site it said that the car was location was of airport. 2) The company requested proof of insurance and when provided they rejected it and wanted to sell us their insurance. This seemed the case with multiple customers that were there at the same time. 3) After almost an hour on the phone we were able to get my husband's name on the insurance and started driving to find out that the tire light was on in the vehicle. We called the company. The guy who answered had an attitude and asked us if we have taken the tire to get it checked. We told him we just left and are turning back. 4) They proceeded to put air in the tire without checking it and wanted to send us on our way to which we refused and requested another vehicle. 5) The car had multiple scratches so we took picture before leaving since they did not mark those.

    This has been the worst experience of our trip, Juan (York Rental Co Assoc) at the front desk had the worse customer experience service ever. As our flight arrived I called the car rental to let them know we were ready for our car rental. After confirming our reservation a shuttle was sent to pick us up. As we arrived to the desk Juan wanted to charge us for additional days of insurance for not having vehicle in our possession due to our flight being canceled/delayed, my husband did not agree so Juan got an attitude and demeanor had changed. He asked me to call their customer service number and when I did he went into the next room and turned off the phone after seeing me call. He said my reservation was cancelled when it was not.

    I phoned Priceline who confirmed my reservation was still active, Juan denied it was and canceled my reservation knowing I was from out of town with no car and they lied and said his driver was the one who confirmed our reservation when the driver does not speak English. I asked for his manager and he stated he does not have her number and didn’t know of her work hours. Then he told us he didn’t know why our reservation was canceled after confirming it was booked. As we first arrived he already had signed paperwork ready to get on the road with the rental so unprofessional, disrespectful, wrong for what he did he needs to trained on how to treat customers. His service was disgusting. BBB does not approve this service or this business. How he treated me as a human at 6am was uncalled for. The front desk had the worse customer service.

    Our issue with Priceline is that they provided no corrective action other than offering a refund. This refund took more than 10 days and did nothing for us in the issue at hand. This provider was offered in the Priceline website and in my opinion it was Priceline’s job to ensure we had rental accommodation upon arrival-as we requested and paid for in advance of our trip. This was a total failure in Priceline’s part. We didn’t need a refund in 10 days, we needed a rental car that we paid for to be ready as stated in our contract.. The York Rental Car Company must be removed from the Priceline site and we deserve an apology and compensation from Priceline. This is a Priceline Failure.

    I made a purchase 9/17/24 for a hotel in SC for a wedding I was attending 9/28/24. I was suppose to check in 9/27/24. Unfortunately, hurricane Helene hit the night of 9/26/24 which wasn’t suppose to do much damage but it did and I was unable to drive from Georgia to South Carolina. Power was out, roads were closed due to the damage from the hurricane and I had to cancel my reservation. I called the hotel and explained and they were nice about it and explained a cancellation due to a natural disaster was acceptable however because I went through this company I had to cancel with them.

    I called and experienced the worst customer service. The representative was nonchalant and did not care because the cancellation was not made in an “appropriate” time. I cannot control the weather and there should be exceptions due to natural disasters. I never made it to SC but was still billed hundreds of dollars for a hotel in a state I never went to. This is unacceptable. How could I have known the level of damage this hurricane would cause?

I called in November, stating that I wished to cancel for a full refund (as trip was 2 months out and this hotel was in no way a 4 star hotel). On December 5th I sent Priceline the images of the Pool and Yelp reviews that rate it as a 2.3 Star. **. I had not heard back from Priceline.

    I have been a long time Priceline user, and usually the experience is wonderful. My most recent booking has changed my opinion, and I will not ever utilize Priceline again. I purchased a stay in the Kansas City area for the Hallmark Christmas Experience event. I always add on the trip insurance even though I have never needed it. The unthinkable happened, I got very sick and was unable to travel. Priceline refused to let me cancel or change my reservation and the insurance was a complete fail.

    I provided dates, proof of my treatment and the treatment plan provided by the Dr., receipt for the visit, photos of the prescription etc. The insurance would not honor my paperwork, wanted a “seal” with the Physician’s signature and a few other things that is not standard practice. It would have required another a Dr. visit fee and some special hoops for the office to jump through for a letter they would accept. In the end, I paid for a room that I couldn’t use and a useless trip insurance. To lose a customer over a single night stay, albeit a higher end room is, in my opinion, bad business practice. Priceline offering trip insurance that requires SO much fine print reading and exclusions is unconscionable. So disappointed.

    Let me start by saying that I have been using Priceline for months now and I was happy until my last trip which was on Thursday December 26, 2024 and was supposed to be till Monday December 30, 2024 for 4 days at the Extended Stay Hotel in San Jose on San Ignacio road. Thursday night my family and I went to bed (Girlfriend, 4 year old son and I)

    I was woke up in the middle of the night and felt something crawling on my body. I quickly turned on the light to find cockroaches in the bed on my family and I!!!! I started packing all of her stuff and doing so in the bathroom I found More cockroaches at this point and purely disgusted and wish I never came to this hotel and we get the family and it's home when I'm staying here I would get a hold of Priceline and let the front desk know. The front desk people said there was reports of roaches on the third floor but not on the second it did seem like he cared and it was agreeing with me that I should get a refund but that couldn't be done until the morning when the manager got there and they could give me a full refund so I have to wait till 9:00 a.m. and at this time it was like 4:00 in the morning.

    I asked if I can be moved to a different room coz I'm not going to stay in that room till 9:00 in the morning. I have plenty of pictures and videos of all the roaches inside the room as well. The room with the roaches was on the third floor room 306. Last week we can be moved and they moved us to room number 228. I went and checked out the room before bringing my family over and it was better, no roaches but not clean as well. Stains on the floor, didn't I mean the walls were dirty, they didn't have roaches but it wasn't clean as well either but it was better than having roaches on us.

    In the morning I woke up about 10:00 a.m., went down to talk to the front desk and the front desk told me the manager wasn't going to be there until the second January 2nd of 2025 and I explained what happened. Roaches all in the bed. I would like to get a refund. He said I had to come back at 11:00. At 11:00 I spoke to a manager and he says yeah if I check out they'll be able to refund me. When I originally got there I upgraded to two beds for 68 more dollars out of pocket and not through Priceline but out of pocket and I asked if I can get that refunded and the manager said he agreed to give me that refund as well. So we checked out and he says okay he refunded it back to Priceline. Now I have to talk to Priceline and the third party person or company involved because I didn't go directly to the hotel, I went through Priceline.

    When I spoke to Priceline the night of the incident right when it happened they said they'll reach out to the third party and when they get back to me in 24 to 48 hours they'll be able to give me the resolution that they have come up with. I asked Priceline, "So I spent all my money for these four nights for me and my family I'm checking out of the hotel because there's roach infested rooms, I have no more money, you won't get me a room for my family and I and I have to sleep in my car tonight with my 4-year-old son is what you're saying because we're waiting on the third party to get back to you and to see if I would even get a refund?"

    They told me there was nothing they could do to help me out and my family. It would have to sleep in our car for that night. This is Friday night going in this Saturday I slept in the car with my family because we had no other money and they wouldn't give us money right away coz their hotel had roach infested rooms. The next day I call Priceline, speak to them again and they told me I am not going to get a refund or they emailed me saying they're not going to be able to refund my money. They spoke to the third party and unfortunately they weren't able to give me a refund so not only did they take $400 from me, my last $400 that I paid for a room and I woke up to roaches on me in that room and I refuse to stay in that room they said okay we're going to keep your money and not refund you or give you anything for compensating for the $400 I spent through Priceline.

    This is so ridiculous and upsetting and frustrating. I've never woken up to my kids or me being covered in roaches and it was truly disgusting and I will never go to an Extended Stay or go through Priceline ever again because they have no compassion for the people who are in the room. They could care less from their reactions to my incident. I will never go through them again and I'm out $400. I feel like it was stolen for me for no reason or fault of my own but because their hotel is full of roaches

    Review: Disappointing Experience with Priceline – Outdated Listings and Priceline Refusal to Change - I recently had a very frustrating experience booking through Priceline, and I feel it’s important to share what I learned. I booked a hotel based on its listings showing pet-friendly accommodations, free breakfast, and non-smoking rooms – features that were crucial for my stay. However, when I arrived at the hotel, I was told that none of these amenities were available anymore. The hotel had been sold to a new company, and they had removed these services, but none of this was reflected on Priceline’s website.

    To make matters worse, Priceline’s customer service was unhelpful. Despite my booking clearly reflecting these amenities, the hotel refused to offer a refund because it was a Priceline booking, and Priceline would not update the listing or change any details on the page. Essentially, the outdated amenities and reviews were still live, misleading future guests, and I was stuck with no recourse.

    It became clear that Priceline does not ensure that hotels update their listings or correct misleading information, even when it no longer aligns with the current offerings. The fact that old reviews and amenities stay up without clarification of the new hotel ownership is incredibly frustrating for travelers who rely on this information to make decisions.

    If you’re booking through Priceline, be aware that outdated listings and misleading information can be a real problem, especially when hotel ownership changes. I recommend verifying all amenities directly with the hotel before booking to avoid potential disappointments. Unfortunately, Priceline does not seem to take much responsibility for these issues, and their customer service won’t help in situations like mine.. I called Priceline and talked to a live person named Anne. She advised me to leave Priceline a bad review online. Another shocker for me. Makes me wonder if the person I talked to is a 3rd party call center.

Unfortunately, but I’d hoped to maybe get a credit towards a future trip & I contacted Priceline to pursue this. They told me they had to contact their supplier to request an exception & told me to stay on the line.

    When they came back they said their supplier has to contact their supplier, and that they’d email me a resolution. They said it’d take 24-48 hours. When they finally emailed me, 80 hours later, they told me they were unable to get an exception. I get that it’s a non-refundable room, and I assumed risk in booking it, but even a partial credit towards a future purchase would have satisfied me. They offered nothing to a family in crisis.

You have to call them multiple times, and they do not thoroughly explain to each other your complaints, so you are left having to reexplain to each new person you speak to. The room I booked had stains on the chair, the toilet paper holder coming out of the wall, the lock on the door does not work well. And when you contacted Priceline about this to get a different accommodation within the price range that you paid the original room with, they only allow you to exchange that very day or you must spend more money out-of-pocket. They do not care about their customers once they have your money.

    I used Priceline to rent a car online with NEXTCAR and it was an unmitigated disaster from the moment I got to Orlando Airport. I waited at the "shuttle" for over 30 minutes, then it took an additional 20 minutes to get to the NEXTCAR lot which was many miles from the Airport. Once I got there, I was told to present my "Insurance Declaration Page" which I don't travel with. I was not instructed to bring it with me when I booked this car. Therefore, I was told I had to pay an additional $28/day for insurance. This is a SCAM!! Steer clear of this company as there is nothing but BAD REVIEWS for this CHEATING COMPANY!!! I hope you go out of business and lose millions and millions of dollars!! I will NEVER use Priceline again.

    Do not ever ever rent a car or purchase the car rental insurance offered by Priceline. They sell fraudulent car insurance policies for their rental cars. It’s fraud and it’s bad business. I rented a car through Priceline and the website prompts the customer to purchase car collision insurance to go with the car rental. I purchased it, and when I went to pick up the car, the car rental company told me that they do not accept that insurance and I had to get different insurance. The car company said it happens all the time with Priceline and that their customers have told Priceline about it many many times. I called Priceline to complain and get my money back, but they would not give me a refund or do anything to remedy the situation. I told them it was fraudulent and should be illegal, and they did not care. Do not use Priceline for anything.

    I booked a package trip through Priceline to fly from Nashville to the Florida Keys. On Priceline‘s website, it clearly stated “total price, taxes and fees included“. When I went to check out of my resort, I asked for an itemized list of the final invoice receipt of my stay. They had charged me an additional $50 per day to total $350 additional Funds for this trip.

    I have contacted Priceline every single day for the last nine days and have been told that is the resort fees. However, I never agreed to that. Priceline never stated it in the invoice from my package trip price nor does the website of the resort state that they charge $50 per day for resort fees. I know because I went onto the resort's website prior to booking my trip through Priceline. I wanted to see the resort and read all the pertinent information and make sure what I was purchasing. No one wants to do anything about it.

    I had to contact my credit card company and I’m hoping that they will honor my dispute of the charges and refund the money. That’s a lot of money when you’ve already paid $2600. Priceline does not deal in transparency or honesty. Everything is after the fact. They don’t deal in the truth. This is how they get you. The resort keeps your credit card on file while you’re staying there and then they just go ahead and charge what they wanna charge. You have to fight to try to get your money back.

    Another thing about Priceline is when you first reach out to them they begin to respond back to you however, each email that they send a response to you is from a different person. There have been 10 different people that have responded to my complaints and none of them know the information that was shared with the other employees via email. It’s a nightmare they try to throw you off and play games because they know you’ll probably just give up and not keep fighting for your money. If anyone wants to file a class action lawsuit against Priceline I’m in..

    Warning: Do not buy airline tickets on Priceline. I had a very negative experience with Priceline. They offer additional services such as baggage purchases and airline ticket upgrades, but they do not fulfill their promises. They only keep the ticket money and refund the payment values for baggage, forcing you to buy through the airline, which makes the purchase much more expensive. The customer service is inefficient. I spoke with two supervisors, Jess L and Daniel, but neither of them offered a solution. It's unacceptable that a company has so many supervisors in a call center and cannot effectively resolve problems. I do not recommend buying airline tickets on Priceline.

    Terrible experience in multiple ways. When I booked my trip, I had some things still up in the air, so I read the cancellation policy for the airlines and car rental before booking. When I make a change about an hour after booking — well within the 36 hour window the app said I have — and couldn’t cancel or change part of my purchase. The app said to call the vendor separately, so I did that and learned that, despite what Priceline posted on the app, I am unable to cancel or change it. So now I’ve paid for a portion of a trip that I don’t need and there’s apparently no course of action to fix it. I’ve used other travel sites with no problem, but this one is a mess.

    It is strongly advised not to book with Priceline.com. If you choose to do so, ensure you carefully review all pre-filled dates and times in the system before entering your credit card information. The platform does not provide an option to confirm the accuracy of the entered information before submitting the booking. In my experience, after entering my credit card information, I attempted to go back to review the details. However, the system automatically processed and submitted my request without allowing a review. While I was able to cancel the booking within five minutes, Priceline did not cancel the associated payment. As a result, I had to rebook the trip for the correct date, which was for an urgent and personal matter.

    Upon returning and reviewing my credit card statement, I found charges for both bookings, including one for the same day as the initial request. Attempts to resolve the issue were highly frustrating, with the hotel directing me to Priceline and Priceline insisting I contact the hotel. This lack of accountability and coordination left me with no resolution.

    I intend to escalate this matter by involving my lawyer and filing a formal complaint with the Better Business Bureau. Based on this experience, I will no longer use Priceline or any third-party booking platforms for future travel arrangements. Their customer service was unhelpful, and the numerous contacts I had to make to seek assistance were overwhelming. Consumers should proceed with extreme caution when dealing with such companies. Look up Bookit.com and you will learn a lot about their Ponzi scheme.

When I asked for a refund of the Priceline charge since it was actually more than what the hotel charged I was told it was non-refundable. How can it be the best seat if they charge me more than the actual hotel?

    -5 stars. -1 star. We reserved a car through Priceline for $300 and add a separate car insurance. They told us we had to buy their own insurance. We ended up paying more than a well known company (over $1000}. They did not have the car we ordered and was the only car left. At the time we were at the desk they had 3 desks open all 3 customers where complaining for the same reasons paying 3 time as advertised. I had no choice, bad way to start vacations. How that kind of situation be legal. That the reason they have a sign on the wall "we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone". One salesman at the desk seemed embarrassed of what it was selling by force, 3 customers at same time 3 unsatisfied costumers. Never again, that was a scam. Date of experience: January 11, 2024.

    I was very happy with Priceline up until this summer when I purchased tickets to Switzerland for my family to travel in August 2024. The tickets I purchased showed seat reservations included as you can see in the attachment. When I tried reserving the seats the airline wanted payment. I then contacted priceline and the agent transferred me to a supervisor who recommended that I pay for the seat reservation and send in for reimbursement. I followed what the supervisor directed me to do, sent all the documentation, followed up many times and never received reimbursement for the charge that should have been included in the reservation. I travel to Europe numerous times a year. I see that this is not an honest company and would never use them again neither recommend them to family and friends.

    I have a Priceline account and I do use them to book rooms as they tend to have the lower rates. However, how they choose to remedy issues with hotels or award you for using them is disappointing. I remember paying a $165 for a double bed suite at a Marriott and when I arrived they checked me into a single room because my room type was unavailable. Not only did she check me into the room without first asking me if I even wanted to downgrade, she also charged my debit card for the room and incidentals, and I had already prepaid online through Priceline. I checked in after midnight and could not book another hotel once I found out that she put me in a single room. I had another adult friend with me that I had no plans on sharing a bed with. Needless to say, we unfortunately had to stay in the room. Although we split the cost for two queen beds, one of us had to sleep on the tiny chaise.

    The hotel blamed Priceline saying that they should have updated the room types on their site because they did not have it available at the time of my booking. Priceline's remedy to my problem was to offer me a fifteen percent off coupon for an express deal and it came with an expiration date. I informed a Priceline rep that I do not ever book Express deals because you never know what hotel you are booking. I asked if I could just have a fifteen percent off coupon on my account that I can use at any hotel of my choice. I was told no that they only offered coupons for express deals. I think that Priceline does a horrible job with rectifying issues. Forcing your customers to use a coupon to book a nonrefundable hotel room with no ability to find out who they are first, or see what their reviews are is not customer service. So basically they never rectified the issue.

    Purchased a hotel stay for one night, when we arrived to the hotel we are told there is no reservation there and that it must be across the street at another hotel. We were tired and exhausted at this time and just wanted a room to rest so we headed across the street. They had our reservation there but it did not show that it was paid. After 2 hours of calling PRICELINE and trying to clear up the situation I had to pay again for a night. It is now 20 days since and I can not get Priceline to reimburse me although I have provided them with copies of my credit card statement showing that there was a second payment.

    Priceline refuses to refund money when the hotels close not even open. Can’t get into a room. Stay there for two hours and they said it’s my fault because I couldn’t get into the room. The hotel was not there so closed and I’ve still refused to return my money. That is very wrong. I hope they close soon. I hope the whole Priceline goes out of business. And their operators are in the Philippines. They’re not even in American soil. They help ** out because they’re just in the Philippines and they don’t answer no questions.

    Scam Company! Avoid Priceline at All Costs! I had the worst experience with Priceline, and I’m beyond frustrated! I booked a flight to Colombia for specific dates, and when I checked my confirmation, they had booked me for completely different dates. Naturally, I called them to correct this mistake, and what did they say? That I would need to pay $210 PLUS a difference of $590 just to change the dates to when I originally wanted to travel! That's $800 extra for something that was THEIR mistake!

    It’s clear to me now that Priceline is a scam. They will book you for whatever dates they want, sell you a cheap flight initially, and then try to pressure you into paying a huge amount of money to get the tickets you actually need. Now, when I tried to cancel the flight because of their error, they told me they couldn’t do anything and that I would have to pay an additional $780 on top of the $400 I already spent for the original ticket. Please, do not book anything through Priceline! They are just after your money and will leave you stranded with no support when they make mistakes. This company is a scam, and I regret using them.

    So, searching on Priceline I come across their “express deals”. Ok great, a flight at half the cost by not being brand-royal and choosing your own airline. Let’s read the fine print. Can’t choose your airline, can’t choose your flight time… could be non stop or have a lay over- more fine print: Priceline could book you on TWO Different airlines. Red flag! Ok, so I call 3 different times the customer service line after the chat robot gives it to me because I asked “what happens when my first flight is running behind” after mountains of OBFUSCATION and a hour of really bad elevator music, the ‘pass you around until your frustrated’ dance gets me to this conclusion, thank you Alicia from not America: “you alone are responsible for getting yourself where you need to go”.

    I purchased a flight to Jacksonville Florida and car rental from Priceline. Flight was good, but the rental car company EASIRENT.COM that is a Priceline partner that was given to us was the ABSOLUTE worst experience I've ever had renting a car in my adult life. After we landed for our flight we were shuttled to this easirent.com Jacksonville off site office which looked like a dump. As soon as we walked in we saw customer after customer either waiting for someone to help them after they had gotten a car and had a problem, or waiting for over an hour just to RETURN their rental. After we waited in line we were told that we would have to have our own personal auto insurance policy as coverage, and that we would either have sign a waiver or pay a lot of money for tire and windshield coverage! What honest rental company makes you cover a tire and windshield damage?

    We asked every other customer why they were having a problem and were told the tires on their cars were all bald, some cars had to be brought back with check engine lights on, and one car had been smashed in the rear and was given out to a customer who was afraid to drive it due to the body damage! In addition, we were told that they didn't have a car for us to rent or similar car and offered us NO other options. No substitute, upgrade, or even down grade so we wouldn't be stranded near the airport! We cancelled our reservation and had to travel back to the airport and hope and pray we could find a rental last minute on the spot. Better part of a day wasted! The ONLY thing I will say is that Priceline did refund us the money we put out for the rental quickly and without hassle. I refuse to do business with priceline until they drop Easirent.com as a partner and do a better job vetting the companies they partner with.

    I purchased a trip package through Priceline for Nov. 13th-17th because I've had good experiences with them in the past but this weekend there was endless problems. The only thing that went right is the flight to Chicago from Minneapolis. Our first night at DoubleTree in downtown Chicago, halfway through the night when I got up to go to the bathroom, while I was sitting there a roach ran at me and I panicked and kicked it and it disappeared under the door, I would have gotten a picture but I couldn't find it.

    I then googled the hotel and apparently we weren't the only ones to have a roach problem at this hotel. Disgusted we went to the front desk to let them know and they offered a $50 food and beverage credit. Why would we want to eat somewhere that has roaches?? We asked for a different room and they were able to switch our room. Our second room the bedding was ripped so the stuffing was all coming out and looked dirty, they hid the blankets between sheets. Then when we ran out of toilet paper I reached out for more and didn't get a response till the next day.. really? The phone in that room didn't work along with one of the lights. All but one of the 5 elevators were down most of the time. As much as I would love to walk up 13 flights, I can't. I have fibromyalgia, so it was a good 20-25 min wait for elevators.

    Add to that the whole time we just felt uneasy looking to see if anymore roaches made their way into our room, and this is considered a 4 star hotel, with roaches? I purposely spent more to stay at a 4 star hotel because I wanted to treat us to a nice place. Then when we tried to get to an event in Minneapolis our flight is delayed and was supposed to have left at 12:45 pm and then didn't take off till 2:40 pm which got us to Minneapolis a 4 pm. There needs to be some type of a refund, anything due to us waiting, and being late now to our event in Minneapolis. Also in the 2 hrs and 20 mins we sat on the tarmac not going anywhere they didn't once offer any food or water to anyone. They gave us very limited information on when we would be able to take off and sounded unconcerned with any obstacles this caused. Saying sorry is great but didn't resolve the concern at hand.

    I am writing to express my profound disappointment with Priceline’s handling of a recent reservation, which left me stranded and without any meaningful support during a critical time for my family. I booked a flight and car rental through Priceline to travel to Wichita, Kansas, to support my daughter and her family as my grandson was hospitalized in the ICU. This was an incredibly stressful and urgent trip, and I relied on Priceline’s service to ensure I could reach Bennington, Kansas—an hour and a half drive from Wichita—to be there for them. Unfortunately, when I arrived in Wichita, the rental car company, Payless, informed me there were no vehicles available. In fact, the manager explained that they had not had vehicles for at least three days and had notified Priceline about this issue. Despite this, Priceline continued to allow reservations to be made, leaving customers like me stranded.

    At the airport, I attempted to find a vehicle with other rental companies, but every single one was sold out, and any vehicles being returned were already reserved. I had no transportation and no way to reach my family during this critical time. I immediately contacted Priceline for assistance, but the experience only worsened. I was transferred multiple times, speaking with at least four different representatives, none of whom were able—or perhaps willing—to help. Initially, I was told that arrangements could be made to locate a vehicle from another rental company near the airport. However, after being transferred to a manager, I was informed that Priceline could not or would not make any effort to assist in finding alternate transportation.

    Ultimately, my daughter, already under immense stress with her son in the ICU, had to arrange for a friend to leave the hospital and drive to Wichita to pick me up. This was an unacceptable burden on my family during an already difficult time. This entire experience was deeply frustrating and upsetting. It is completely unacceptable for Priceline to knowingly book reservations for services that cannot be fulfilled and then fail to provide adequate customer support to resolve the situation. Leaving a customer stranded in a moment of crisis shows a shocking lack of care and responsibility. I expect a prompt and thorough response to this complaint, as well as an explanation of how Priceline plans to ensure this does not happen to anyone else.

Thrifty’s solution was for us to take an Uber to the location to pickup the car. They refused to honor the res at their location. Priceline’s suggestion was to cancel the original res and make a new one. We tried but they had timing restrictions to get the new res to AVIS that would have delayed our trip for hours. AVIS never got the new res and refused to honor the Priceline quote. We ended up renting a car from AVIS for $300 more than our original quote. Thrifty wanted more that $400 above the original quote from Priceline.

    Priceline took no responsibility for their obvious mistake. Thrifty did not honor its request from Priceline. AVIS did not acknowledge their relationship with Priceline. After a three hour flight, this was the worst possible way to start our vacation. I will not recommend Priceline or Thrifty/Dollar to anyone, ever!

I am so furious with Priceline and will absolutely NEVER use them again for anything. Customer service as well as their Chatbot Penny are useless. To add to the frustration, when I was trying to use Penny, the cookies pop-up window was blocking the chat window and I could neither close the popup nor choose to accept or deny because my taps were affecting the screen below the pop-up as if it was invisible.

    I've been using Priceline since they came out and never had a bad experience until recently. The car rental I booked through another site (Economy Car Rentals) was an absolute nightmare so I cancelled the reservation at the desk. While waiting for the shuttle back to the airport, I booked a car with Priceline, but because I was boarding the shuttle, I didn't realize that the booking was at an agency on the other side of Orlando. Not the end of the world, or so I thought. By the time the taxi got me there, it was 15 minutes after the agency had closed (no notification of business hours from Priceline). The round trip taxi ride cost me $165.00.

    I ended up having to take a bus to a depot near my destination, a Lyft to the house, a Lyft to go visit my mother in Assisted Living, a Lyft to a local rental agency, a Lyft back to Mom from the agency after car drop off, a Lyft back to the house and a bus back to the airport. $300 in additional costs because they booked someplace way far when I specifically requested the airport. After a couple of back and forths with their "customer service", they decided they weren't going to do anything at all to make this right, so they lost me as a customer forever... and hopefully everyone seeing this too.

For the last couple of years their service has gone downhill drastically. I am the first patient to have surgery this Friday with check in time at 6:00am. We live 4+ hours away, so rather than leave at 1:30-2:00am and have to worry about deer on the road all the way there, we booked a room. I put in the city where we wanted to stay, so we would be 5 minutes away from the surgery center. Instead they offered me a “deal” where they would pick one out of three. Not realizing they completely changed the city to a totally different location!!

    We will now have to leave at 4:00am, the “free breakfast” that my family members were supposed to go back and eat, while I am in surgery is out the window, because who the hell wants to drive 4 hours for a free breakfast!

And of course the calls are routed over-seas, so through broken English I was told under no uncertain terms that we could not change the location, as they have very strict guidelines. Well, I have very strict guidelines when it comes to my pocketbook, so when it comes to doing any future business with Priceline, they will no longer have my business. There are plenty of other competitors out there who just might appreciate me as a customer!

    On November 3, we used Priceline to book three rooms for two nights (November 8 and 9) over Veterans Day weekend. We purchased Priceline’s Trip Protection just in case we had a problem with the car, illness, or any other emergencies. Unfortunately, a senior citizen veteran fell ill and had to be rushed to the Veterans Lyons VA Hospital for care. Thus, he was unable to make the trip and had to cancel his reservation, which amounted to $200.

    On November 7, we called Priceline expecting them to take some action so that we would get a refund for the veteran’s room cancellation. Priceline said that a refund was at the discretion of the Comfort Inn in Alexandria, VA. The hotel denied our request. Priceline indicated that the Trip Protection was not valid. In retrospect, I think Priceline has engaged in deception by offering Trip Protection. At no time did they express concern or offer any compensation for a veteran senior citizen, especially over Veterans Day weekend. Perhaps Priceline should be called PRICELIE if they are offering trip protection for It may not be protect your trip.

    Used Priceline for a hotel. The rooms were disgusting. Priceline refused to grant me a refund. Even after sending them a picture of a Gatorade bottle of urine left out on the dresser. Both rooms’ fire alarms were ripped off the wall. Priceline’s response for my safety concerns was “That’s not a problem because you booked a non-smoking room.” We checked into the rooms, looked at it for 2 minutes and checked out. I immediately called Priceline and they refused to grant a refund. The manager was very arrogant and showed no empathy.

    I reserved a car through Priceline on October 29, 2024. This reservation was for a vw jetta or equivalent from November 9, @midnight to November 11 @4 pm. I called from my plane at 10:00 p.m. on November 8 and advise reservation specialist that my plane would be 30 minutes late due to seating disabled people on the plane. He said there is a 4 hour window to pick up so it would be no problem. I arrive in Orlando at 12:15 a.m. and I call twice to find out where the shuttle is at. I arrive at the rental car company at 1:00 a.m. I stand in line for 15 minutes. As I observe two of the three transactions going on, it seemed customers had a different reservation amount than the counter was wanting to charge them. They had four cars they were trying to rent and saying that is all they have left. They kept trying to get rid of a jeep.

    When it is my turn, I was told my reservation from priceline would not be honored. He said it has been a busy friday night and they do not have my car that I reserved. He said I have a jeep wrangler. I said will I get that for $71.92, and he said I would have to pay the difference. He said the jeep would normally go for 130-150 rate. This isn't true if someone rents in advance. He said he would have to charge me the difference. I asked him why I would be charged more than my reservation because it is not my fault they do not have my reservation. He said, "I don't know what to tell you except, if you want to rent from us tonight you will pay it or you can go elsewhere and rent a car." He said however, "You will pay a lot more given you don't have a car reserved anywhere else."

    I told him this sounds like a bait and switch. I told him I could have reserved a car elsewhere for cheaper than 180, but I reserved with ACE because I was quoted $71.92. He said, "Do you want the car or not?" At 1:45 a.m. in the morning a customer has no other option but to pay whatever they need to in order to have transportation. It is obviously a bait and switch practice this customer service rep. was doing. I hope any potential customers will read this and realize this will happen to you as well. Priceline says they can not guarantee car rental reservation and is not obligated to get involved in the transaction. If you want to know more please contact me at **.

    We had a flight that was canceled because of Hurricane Milton. The airline was fast to refund it because it was obviously out of anyone's control, but it was refunded to whatever third party credit card number used by Priceline and not the payment method I entered, which I did not know would happen and Priceline does not inform you that they use their own credit cards "for your safety" when you book through them. I then had to repeatedly call Priceline customer service over 3 weeks and each time was told the same things over and over that it's being worked on and processed and then eventually that I'll receive the refund in a couple business days. Each time they said I'd receive a call with an update within 24 hours. Each time I never received a call and had to reach out again.

    2 weeks after I was told I'd receive a refund in a couple business days, they then said they are still "waiting for the airline to send the refund", which was a lie because I'd contacted the airline FIRST when the flight was canceled and they were able to give me part of the card numbers it was refunded to and prove to me that they sent it, and that it was all on Priceline from that point. So then they said again they'd call back with an update within 24 hours, naturally no call so I called again. Allegedly suddenly as of my call 2 days ago they released the money and it's being processed by the banks. I am not confident at this point that it will show in my account when they say it will, and I anticipate calling them again in a couple days arguing for my money. Do not use this company.

After months of going around and around for "official" approval of our money back they then said they needed my checking account information to send the money. I opened a second account, sent the information and after waiting the up to 8 weeks the money that was approved to be refunded has never been sent. These companies are located overseas.

When I called Priceline for help, they offered no real solutions - just a refund (useless when stranded in another state at midnight) or relocation, which they then said they couldn't do due to 'system limitations.' I was left stranded on the street in an unfamiliar city with my luggage and no place to stay. Priceline took no responsibility and offered no alternatives.

They gave me the runaround and after numerous phone calls and lies, and almost 3 days, (and needing to find another hotel) they came back and said they are unable to refund or change the dates so not only did I not get a hotel room, but I was charged the full price and they refused to refund. I also. So very unprofessional and criminal to refuse a refund, knowing that their system messed up the dates and yet they still charged us for a service we were unable to use. We are going to pursue legal action.

    This is the first time I used Priceline for any travel. This will be the last time I will use Priceline. I'll tell anyone that ask or doing a travel arrangement with Priceline not to use priceline. I will never use priceline again. Someone made a mistake (Hotel or agent). Thanks for nothing. I would have accepted being told someone made a mistake at hotel or agent. No checks and balance or recording of transaction.

    I'm glad I had the $254.80 to pay resort fee and resort taxes. I didn't know this had happen and was being charge $254.80, until I called my credit card company about this charge. I thought everything was as we had discussed over the phone. I have all transaction emails from priceline for all transaction done on this vacation. Please make your own recording of conversation with these priceline agent. It's your word against there. Guess who's going to win. A recording of conversation would have helped. Even if I would have not got my money back. I would not have been called a liar. Thanks For Nothing.

    Rented a vehicle from Thrifty via Priceline for 4 days in Washington. I was told to prepay on Priceline and that is my full amount. On arrival I was charged again for the car. There were other charges like I had to pay for a tank of gas which I agreed to pay for at the counter and a small insurance but I was charged for the car again. Also Priceline misleads people because I declined the insurance but when I got there I was told it was mandatory.

    This has been the worst experience ever. I booked a changeable trip and did the "wonderful" package deal they offer. My trip got delayed so called Priceline for help to book the exact same trip a week later within the changeable no fee period. The rep cancelled the trip without permission and then tells me the following day I cannot be refunded. Called me from 212-444-0077 and of course you cannot get a live person or get through.

    I called priceline as I only wanted to make a change. Then I get some song and dance that they need to wait for approval and they are so sorry to which I told them I will contact an attorney. I have proof of original refund, number and time called the next day, email from same stating so sorry but cannot refund. So I called and get a supervisor after being transferred and put on hold for 4 hours have proof of that as well to be told they used a voucher with airline and got hotel and flight refunded but could not refund car? Like what? I never asked for a cancel. I asked for a change which I paid an additional 80.00 each way to do and the rep cancels the trip and that falls on me?

    Now I have no refund, got to fight with United and no refund on car or flight due to her error and had to book an entire other trip. Do not use this site. It is scam and it only saved me 46.00 and really didn't save me! I ended up paying more for the trip. Got charged for a car due to their error and flight and spent 5 hours on phone being transferred from person to person. They cancelled the trip in error and yet I pay for that? I never gave permission to cancel the trip. She was not experienced and messed up and yet I had to chase supervisors down and pay more and lose money? Book with hotel direct, airline direct and car rental direct. Their package deal was a nightmare. They did not honor the change and because of some untrained employee, I eat the cost? Run as fast as possible.

    This has been the worst experience and especially since we just dealt with damage from Milton to have to experience this? Do not book here unless you want to lose money. You pay for changeable flights and yet their mistake and they do not honor? Seeking legal and help from anyone who can make this right. Priceline's slogan should be 'we rip you off and do not honor our policies" worst experience ever with a site. Never asked for trip to be cancelled, she did in error. So now I have to wait for their accounting department to look into and got a case assigned? What? I didn't make the mistake they did... But yet I pay and have to give 5 hours of hold time and stress because their rep messed up.

    The best part is there is a flight supervisor, a car supervisor, a hotel supervisor so you get the pleasure of telling your entire story again to be transferred for another hour. Do yourself a favor and book elsewhere. Unless you have money to throw away, book direct. I hope no one ever experiences what I did. It was a nightmare and cost me over 400.00 more. They do not tell you that the car is not refundable, the airline will charge you a fee? Like it's a joke and a scam. I asked for a change on a reservation and they cancelled reservation in error which the admit and I have to pay? So wrong on every level.

    Horrible Customer service. I have booked with Priceline many times but when I needed help, customer service was unresponsive, disrespectful and unhelpful. Within 5 minutes I lost $96 because customer service didn't do their Job. Erick and Michael (supervisor) did not follow up on my issue when they said they did, they didn't do their job and got disconnected the second time I called. Never using the app again. Absolutely horrible workers. I will spend my money elsewhere. There are many apps like this. Your loss priceline

    I would not recommend using this site for booking hotels. I recently booked a hotel through Priceline on October 15th, 2024, under the clear impression that I would receive a full refund if I needed to cancel (until a certain date). However, upon receiving the email confirmation, I was shocked to find that the cancellation policy had changed—now stating that cancellations needed to be made by October 13th for a full refund. Any cancellations after this date would only receive a partial refund. This made no sense, as it's impossible to cancel a reservation two days before I even made the booking! Priceline’s initial communication was clearly misleading, and this unreasonable policy was never mentioned during the booking process.

    I contacted their customer service multiple times, each call resulting in long hold times. After finally getting through, Priceline refused to reimburse me, even though their online communication was contradictory and misleading. I’m extremely disappointed in their lack of accountability and refusal to correct this mistake. Beware of booking with Priceline—they do not stand behind their policies.

    I booked a car with Priceline for pickup at Heathrow and returning to Southampton for August 20-30, 2024. They charged me $399.99 for a deposit to Europcar with the remainder to be paid at pickup. Europcar changed my rental car stating the car I reserved was too small for our luggage (although they never showed us the car we reserved). They upgraded to another car but did not give us credit for our deposit. Europcar stated after the fact they were never paid the deposit and I needed to get the refund from Priceline. Priceline has refused multiple times to refund my deposit simply stating "its out or our hands". Truly a scam on both parties! We have stopped payment on Europcar throughout CC, but too late to stop the charge from Priceline. Stay away from both if you're traveling internationally!

    NEVER RENT A CAR FROM PRICELINE! In February I rented a 15 passenger van for a wedding party! On 10/15 Priceline sent me a confirmation! On 10/17 I go to pick it up and the rental car company ACE said we NEVER carry 15 passenger vans here! Try reaching Priceline USA that's a joke, if you are fortunate enough to get one that does speak English they will tell you how sorry they are for you BUT DO NOTHING to help! Ask for a supervisor, if you are patient enough to wait the 30 minutes you might get one like Marge who spoke English clearly enough to tell me how sorry she was and offer me 10% off my next rental! I WILL NEVER USE PRICELINE FOR ANYTHING AGAIN! 10% meanwhile the rental car situation I faced for that weekend cost me well in excess of $1,200.00 Not a refund not an offer for $500 on my next priceline purchase but 10% on a car rental! AVOID pay 10% more with any other company upfront it saves a fortune in the end!

    They are the worst online hotel booking I've ever used. Messed up my reservation and gave me the runaround about refunding my money. I was told I had to wait 48 hours to get my refund while I'm sleeping in my vehicle with my partner and our pitbull. Left me broke after having to pay for the room plus they had my money and now I can't even buy something to eat till my refund is given. All they have to say is, "I'm sorry" and "Someone will contact you in 48 hours." I would not recommend them to a soul.

    0/10. I was refused a refund for my reservation made last minute, late at night while traveling. Upon arriving within the hour, found roaches, broken smoke detectors hanging from the wall, stains and burn holes on the beds. Priceline does not take responsibility for an average standard of hotel room, leaving it up to the hotel manager to agree to refund! Worst hotel experience ever!!

    When I booked a hotel to visit my sister-in-law who was dying of cancer I didn't even realize that the link was for Priceline. There was no immediate indication that I wasn't booking through the hotel until later. When my husband got sick and ended up in the ER twice within 24 hours of our arrival time, ultimately being admitted to the hospital for 5 days, I called immediately for a refund. I was refunded some of my cost but was told there is a $132 fee for late cancellation. I was also told that they could request a waiver since it was for a medical emergency (my husband was taken to the ER by ambulance at 4 am). After two weeks with no info, I was just emailed and told they are not refunding me the cancellation fee. I will never willingly use Priceline again!!!
