    My husband was booking a hotel for a room in Fargo, ND. When he clicked the "book now" button it took him to a hotel by the same name in a different state (unbeknownst to him) so he completed the booking process. We didn't realize the issue until we arrived at our hotel to find that it was completely booked and we did not have a room there. I have been communicating with them by email (the only way to communicate since the company is based out of a different country--also something we did not know) for over a month now and have been told twice that a refund has been issued but I still do not have my refund. DO NOT USE TRIVAGO!

    I had my second quinceañera at the Universal Hilton. Ms. Violeta ** helped me with everything I needed in the Banquet space as well making a room reservation so I can stay after the party. She also helped me make the reservation in Restaurant to enjoy with my family. In few words this hotel is the one I can recommended to do any kind of Events because of the experience and service I received since I started planning my event to the end.

    I booked a room on Trivago, which was cheaper. I received a booking confirmation and then 2 emails written by foreigners telling me my booking had been cancelled and the reasoning was not clear. Upon looking around I have found Trivago uses third party companies to do their booking and the price and availability is generally not live on their website. Use Booking.com as I have for years with no issues.

    Book my hotel at 10:35am with confirmation of room hotel and date. After 12 hours at 10:55pm received an email that my reservation was canceled and my money will be refund in 10 days. I called their 24 hour customer service and spoke to someone whose accent is worse than mine and saying I need to go to the website of that hotel and try if there still available room???? Explaining that it take 24 hours to confirm my booking which I never have in my email. The worse part they will return my money in 10 days. I felt I got scammed, false statement as well as no accountability for their mistake. As they just wanna use my money for 10 days somewhere else. Wonder how many people they do this every day.

    I made an enquiry on the 15th June for a trip I have coming up at the end of August to Leeds. Trivago came up with a deal with Trivago and I clicked to go through and book. I was somewhat surprised to receive an email from the hotel recently asking me to review them? I then realised that the booking date had been made for the 15th June, the date I made the inquiry. Not only that, but the hotel made no attempt to contact me when I did not turn up. Expedia have told me that this happens quite often with links from Trivago, though they have behaved like "Gentlemen" and returned the money to me that the hotel took from my account. I think that Trivago cannot be trusted in view of this experience.

    After hearing all the recent ads about "Last Room" I went to Trivago. To start with, the result of the search ended up with a "last room" available result. I was redirected to a partner to complete the reservation, to which I received a confirmation of the "order" but not a reservation. I was told I would receive the final confirmation within 48 hours. 48 hours passed and nothing. So I contacted the vendor. They indicated that the reservation was still being booked. They went to complete it while I was on the phone and now said there was no availability. They were not able to get me a suitable replacement. So I ended up with nothing 3 days later and proceeded to find an alternative (not as good or convenient) on my own.

    I used trivago to book a room at Disney's Dolphin hotel in June. It was done through a 3rd party company called Global Travel. The listing showed the reservation included free parking and I called the company to confirm before I booked. Upon check out I was charged for 3 days of parking at $25 a day. After contacting Global Travel and going back and forth for 2 months my case was handed over to trivago. They did issue my refund though I wasn't happy to have to do it via PayPal (trivago required a swift code and my bank doesn't have one).

    I realize trivago is not directly to blame for this but they allow these shady 3rd party agencies on their site. And I don't understand why it took 2 months for this to get sent to them or why the money couldn't go directly back on my card that I paid with. This never should've happened and definitely shouldn't have taken so long to resolve. From now on I will book directly with the hotel. I do not recommend trivago or the agencies on their site.

    In March I booked a hotel in Pittsburgh for our 25th anniversary and a Phillies game. When my husband and I arrived at the hotel informed us that the reservation had been cancelled. The manager told us that had happened with many reservations. They researched this problem and found that the company Hotels For Everyone had gone out of business and cancelled the reservations they had made without notifying their customers. Needless to say they also did not refund any of us. Apparently Trivago does not keep up with their their 3rd party booking sites. I recommend that you STAY AWAY from Trivago!! We’re out almost $500 and I can’t speak to a person at Trivago!!! Subsequently, we had to book a different hotel that was double the price.

    My issue with Trivago is that they don't sort out the bad travel companies. When you book you don't get to see how a company is rated (because they don't have a system for it). I Travel a 100+ days a year and can highly recommend Hotels.com, Expedia, Hot Wire, TravelZoo, AirBNB, HomeAway, VRBO, Priceline.com, Orbitz.com, Agoda, Travelocity, Amoma and Hotels Tonight. The only company I can't recommend is LoveHolidays (LoveVactions.com) - I booked a room through them (via Trivago) and when there was an issue they were impossible get a hold of and no help at all.

    I booked a room to 6 nights at Cabo Villa and Beach Resort. On the Trivago site it listed a price of right around $1537. It also said that their PARTNER - CANCELON will be booking this reservation. So I pressed accept and the next thing I know it’s over $2090 BUT I pressed accept accidentally. So, I immediately call CANCELON to cancel the reservation. They said "Sorry” and that you can cancel for a fee of between $200-$300 but you can’t just cancel the reservation. UNBELIEVABLE!!! NO LIE, I called immediately after making the reservation.

    Wait....it gets BETTER. So CANCELON did say if I find a cheaper rate they will match it. So that evening I went searching. I found a rate for $1402.18 for the exact same room, at the exact same time. I found it on KAYAK. Yes, KAYAK. So I called CANCELON to tell them. They said to take screen shots and email it to them, so I did. After going back and forth with the rep he said that mgt. will cancel my reservation with them at no charge.... I SAID, "THE HELL YOU WILL. YOU WILL DO AS YOU SAID YOU WOULD DO AND MATCH THE PRICE so I don’t have to do all the work to make the reservation". After many minutes of arguing they refused to match the price.

    BOTTOM LINE: You need to stay away from Trivago and its partner CANCELON. I don't even know if it's legal to not be able to cancel a reservation immediately after making the reservation BUT if it is legal then you really want to stay away from these companies. There was no need for the stress and hours of bs on the phone with them. On Trivago there's a price but be careful, once you click on the price it takes you to another page with added costs so don't click fast like I did. You should never use Trivago or Cancelon. KAYAK was very easy to work with and was upfront about the total cost from the beginning. NOTE: I do not work for or have any ownership in KAYAK ownership in KAYAK.

    With a lot of Trivago TV Commercials lately, I decided to try out the Trivago website. Wow, was that a thousand dollars mistake. I have no idea what kind of relationships they have with Cancelon, I felt like I was being scammed by both of them. Thru Trivago, Cancelon offered me the best price which took me to the Cancelon website to continue my reservation. Boy, the best price is no longer the best price once you get to the end of your reservation process. They have their breakdown of the final totals on the lower left panel where the big and center page is left for you to enter your payment information. By the time you hit the button 'submit' and see the final totals, it will be too late for you to cancel the transaction.

    I immediately called Cancelon and they have me wait for 10-15 minutes so I decided to chat with one of their chat supervisor named Chris. Guess what? It's no use. He kept denying me the opportunity to cancel a reservation that was booked a few minutes ago with misleading info. Instead, he offers me the opportunity to sell it. Wow, what a deceptive business concept. First, they make money off you by misleading you into booking. Then they want to make money off you again by giving you no choice but to sell it. With this type of experience, I would never give Trivago and Cancelon any opportunity ever again.

    DO NOT USE. I used their site to book at Omni at Amelia Island Plantation Resort Hotel. I clicked on Cancelon.com rate for the main resort. When I called the hotel to confirm I was told that my reservation was for the Villas property and I would not have access to the main hotel property amenities. So I am staying at a property that I could have gotten for $60 per night cheaper if I booked directly with few amenities. Trivago says sorry they are just a gatherer of information. Cancelon says, "sorry not our fault," and you guessed it Omni says, "sorry that is what you booked." Money will not be refunded. I can't determine if this was just an error or an actual fraudulent business practice but none of the companies will step up and make this right.

    I had never booked a hotel through Trivago before, but I was going to Washington DC in June and Trivago somehow had rates that were substantially lower than other sites. So I booked a room at the Hilton Garden Inn, Washington DC-U.S. Capitol for $349, including tax. But when I arrived at the hotel--in a drenching rainstorm--I was told they had no record of my reservation. On top of that, the hotel was fully booked. The clerk said I was the third person to show up that day with a Trivago reservation they had no record of. I showed them my confirmation email but the clerk said there was nothing he could do. Turns out Trivago funnels people to third-party bookers, and some of them aren't reputable. (The clerk said the one in my case was called Hotel Beds.)

    Fortunately, I had paid for the room through American Express, and they are pursuing a refund. But I still had to find somewhere else to stay. So I resolve NEVER to use Trivago again. Better to book a room directly through a hotel chain's website, or to use Booking.com, which has never let me down. And I'm not so anxious to visit another Hilton Garden Inn, either. They were no help at all in finding me another place to stay.

    I tried to research hotel prices in Washington for September 2019. The site seemed easy to use and showed dates when prices were higher or lower so I could adjust dates. I found a few deals that seemed interesting, BUT when I clicked on the deals my departure date had been changed. When I corrected the date, the daily priced DOUBLED. I tried it with Booking.com, Expedia and Hotels.com; all showed the same price doubling when I corrected the date.

I took a screenshot of the booking showing it was Canadian. They said they would get back to me in 7-10 days.

I then found a Trivago email and they did answer quite quickly and I forwarded them the info too. They did arrange to credit my account but it ended up being short $149.00.

    Trivago is simply a middleman. They book nothing, instead passing your booking on to a 3rd party company. Made a reservation at a hotel in Washington DC on 3/20/19 via Hotels for Everyone. Our credit card was billed within 24 hours. On 5/3/19 I received an email from Hotels for Everyone saying they were going out of business and "unfortunately your hotel reservation has most likely been cancelled by the supplier and you may need to make other arrangements".

    I called the hotel that day and was told we had a reservation that was paid for. I called again a week later just to make sure and was told it had been cancelled two days prior by HotelBeds.com??? Be very very careful booking anything through Trivago. A large percentage of their bookings are done through very shady companies. Only deal with legitimate companies such as Expedia or through the hotel chain directly.

    I placed a reservation through Trivago in late January for the Hilton on Daytona Beach for Saturday March 30th to the morning of the 31st. My daughter was performing/competing across the street at the Convention Center that Sunday. I got into the hotel and I was told by the desk manager at the Hilton that I was moved to another hotel. They claimed to have reached out to me. I had called the Hilton that Wednesday to confirm my reservation. They would not give me exact details because I had gone through a 3rd party but I WAS told that I did have a room. I never received any other follow up calls.

    Move up to Saturday and here I was angry and frustrated that I was told I was being sent a few miles down the beach to a different hotel. I immediately got on the phone to Trivago once I was checked in at the new location, but I got a voice mail and was asked to leave a message with my reservation number and contact info. Now this new hotel was ok but NOT up to the quality of the Hilton. Lights were out in the halls. Water stains up near the ceiling inside my room and it was an older building. Ok for a night but not where I had been planning to be for 2 months. Trivago contacted me the following Monday via email and asked for details about me being moved from the Hilton to a lesser quality hotel when I had a reservation AT the Hilton. I gave them dates, contact information and locations. They did some research.

    Overall, this took about 10 days. The Hilton told me they tried to reach out to me (NOT) but the company that set up my reservation NEVER heard from them. This is what I was told. It was the Hilton that moved me to a new hotel. I had to pay $17.00 at the new hotel to cover the facilities fees (plus a $100 deposit that was later refunded) that night that I got into Daytona. The Hilton covered my room at the new location. Now because it was the Hilton that chose to move me, Trivago refunded the amount I paid last January which was over $160 for my reservation. I am STILL disappointed I did not stay at the hotel of my choosing, BUT I only paid $17 for a hotel on Daytona Beach when all was said and done. And I'm very OK with that. Kudos to Trivago for putting customers first!

I cannot imagine why they would book the room and charge me if the hotel was already booked full.

    Then they said they would refund my money but it would take 4 to 6 days to get it back which of course is totally unacceptable so now I don't have a hotel room and I'm out $241.41. Then they charged me another $241.41. Total taken from my bank account $482.82! TOTAL SCAM!!! Trivago also does not have a telephone number for customer support or any type of contact. #SHARE so nobody else gets their vacation messed up.

    Myself and a friend have used this service on 4 different hotels in Sydney and Blue Mountains. When we got to the hotel reception desk which we had already paid a deposit on an average of 3 nights stay we were charged a completely different and more costly amount for the 3 days we both stayed. Also some of the hotels said or claimed some of their inhotel services were much better than the actual quality of services inc the style and condition of various hotel rooms we got stuck with. We did expect more than was offered esp since we could have booked for 1 night instead of three. Wrote a review of one of these overpriced hotels near Chinatown and the owners replied with a basically 'couldn't care less attitude!' Hope there is better improvement in the future and what is promised online matches up more effectively with the actual hotel rooms and their services promoted!

    I booked a hotel St George Utah. The quoted fee was $77 per night. I did not check the confirmation as the hotel sent a confirmation. I got $77 for the first night and then charged $114 then second night and $144 the last two nights!! Double the quoted rate. Now I did not read the confirmation page that discloses this because I got just a confirmation # from the hotel. Talk about bait and switch. I will bet $100 dollars that I will find out Trivago gets paid on the night rate, not just a booking fee. I will never use Trivago again and I warn others not to do so. What a dishonest company.

    We recently booked a 5-night stay in a hotel in Florida. Able to check-in ok, then couple days later notice on our credit card activity we were charged by the hotel. Spoke to the desk and they deleted their charge after we showed them the charge activity we had paid a month prior for $906.12 to a third party hotel booker Hotelsforeveryone. At checkout we were given our final billing, and that amounted to $744.80 with $0 balance owed by us. I couldn’t believe the difference in what the actual cost from the hotel (744) versus what Trivago/Hotelsforeveryone charged our credit card (906).

    When we got home, I called the Hotelsforeveryone, asked why there was such a big discrepancy from what they charged and the actual cost. She said our original charge was the room cost at the time of booking and refused to make any adjustments. So Trivago made out with almost $240 off our money- so much for their “bargain” rates. Stay away from these folks like the plague!!!

    I would give them zero stars if I could. I used Trivago to book my trip to Montego Bay. The booking was through TravelUp. Do not EVER book through TravelUp. I repeat, do not EVER book through TravelUp. I booked in December for a February trip. Four days before I was scheduled to leave, the agency contacts and told me there would be an "urgent reallocation." This is after I already paid for that hotel. They transferred me to another hotel, but when I went to check-in to the hotel, the hotel told me the agency never transferred the funds and I had to pay for the hotel in full (again).

    The people at the agency are unresponsive, rude, and have yet to refund me my money. I ended up reporting them to my bank as fraud. Trivago is no help either. Their customer service line just indicates they have nothing to do with the bookings and do not allow you to speak to an individual. As a pricing website tool, they should monitor and regulate the agencies that they allow people to book through. I will never be using Trivago again for any of my future travels.

    Had a horrible experience with Trivago and booking a hotel room. Selected a hotel and rate from the site which took me to a booking site. They had what appeared as duplicates of each room type. I thought I had chosen the 2 queen bedroom and saw it was a suite with one bed and a sofa bed. Cancelled that, went back and selected the next room in the list that was what wanted and matched the price I remembered from Trivago. Completed the booking only to get an email telling me the booking was nonrefundable! Not what I had intended at all! Called the company immediately to tell them it was a mistake and I wanted the refundable rate. No go. No satisfaction from the rep I spoke with. So I called Mastercard and put in a dispute.

I offer what most guests would love to enjoy on their holiday. My website said it all with all the details and prices and the title Rachel's Home From Home is where guests would love to spend their time. I have never had 1 inquiry or booking from the Trivago Team nor have they ever answered any of my questions which I have posed to them. I informed them long in advance that I would not be listing with them again and also asked them in advance of my subscription being renewed please to cancel my listing as I no longer wanted to be listed on their site and pay the incredible amount for a useless service.

    Their amount for listing was 239 dollars but for me it is ZAR3,309 which is an exorbitant amount. However they ignored all my emails and only sent what suited them and debited my account without my permission after cancelling my listing long in advance.

    In December 2017 I paid Trivago $219.45/R3055.05 to provide exposure for our business: The Jays Guest House. During 2018 we did not receive any increased business as a result of this marketing effort. We did not want to proceed for a second year doing business with Trivago. However, this is what we were told: According to our system, you logged in to your Trivago Hotel Manager account on 11/12/2017 at 11:29 CET with the email address **, and then upgraded on your own to PRO.

    After you provided your billing information and clicked on the “Place order” button, you entered into a valid contract, and so there’s no need for a written contract, too. Your PRO subscription renewed automatically on 11/12/2018, and it’ll renew again on 11/12/2019. Please note that the Subject of the Contract and Term (article 2) in the General Terms and Conditions trivago Hotel Manager PRO states: “The term of the annual subscription is extended automatically by a further 12 (twelve) months if the hotelier has not terminated his/her trivago Hotel Manager PRO account by the expiry of the twelfth month of his/her membership. Therefore, I’m unable to proceed with the process of a refund."

    This is absolute **. The management of this company - Trivago - has a duty of care at the very least. There is a need for the company management to ensure that the customer has read & understood these onerous conditions. We have never set eyes on their terms & conditions and never signed any contract with them other than entrusting them with the marketing of our business. Most companies subscribe the notion that they are in a business of, amongst other things, providing a service. What the customer wants, the customer gets. We want a refund of the money paid ($237.40; R3562.71) for marketing in 2019 which we don't want to be done by Trivago. I am not finished.

    First time using Trivago and will never use again. Trivago used a third party called CancelOn to make our reservation. When we tried to check in at the Hyatt Place in Reno there was no record of our reservation. We called CancelOn and after finding our reservation they pushed it through to the Hyatt. Then upon checking out Hyatt had no record that our reservation was prepaid and they had not received payment info from CancelOn. We called CancelOn to get what they call the “ghost card” info from CancelOn. First CancelOn didn’t find our reservation. And they said they couldn’t search by our name. Then they found it and said we will contact our payment department and call you back in 10-15 minutes.

    Thank goodness the Hyatt manager was checking us out and he took CancelOn’s info from us and said he wouldn’t charge our credit card anything until we heard back from CancelOn. I was beginning to feel like we had been scammed by CancelOn. Another thing Hyatt told us is that they would’ve been cheaper if we had booked directly through them. We also paid extra for a breakfast deal but the manager of the Hyatt said breakfast is included with all of their rooms. We are still waiting to hear back from CancelOn to pay the Hyatt.

At this point I'm five days out from the travel date we decide to just cancel and go another time. When I call the service number for the booking company I'm told that the reservation is non-refundable for the hotel I've book.

    I call the hotel where I always stay in Raleigh and they tell me that their policy is to refund the amount and especially in the case of winter weather. I call the booking company back and they hard-nose with, "This is definitely a non-refundable situation." I check my bank account and sure enough they have charged my account from my debit card. I call the bank and they put in a claim for the amount but tell me it could take 90 days to resolve. Bottom line is that I will never use this service again. I don't like being lied to.

    I am very upset with my experience both with your site and with what is apparently a partner of yours - a company called Cancelon. Earlier today I searched for and booked a hotel stay for my family's vacation through your site. At the time I booked, it was not at all clear to me that what I was actually doing was paying a third party company I have never heard of, a "travel agency", to book this hotel for me. This only became apparent after I booked, and received an email confirmation from a company called Cancelon. This email, which was missing key information that should have been included but was apparently omitted through a technical issue of some kind, was the first alert that something was amiss.

    I contacted the support number in the email and the relationship between Trivago and Cancelon was explained to me. I was assured I would "receive several more emails" from Cancelon and that one of them would contain a "voucher" that I would need to print out and present at the hotel during check-in, to prove I paid for the reservation. So, I awaited this voucher, which arrived several hours later. This voucher, is literally a PDF that says "THE CUSTOMER PREPAID FOR THE ABOVE MENTIONED SERVICES". This is like giving me a piece of paper with the words "give this guy whatever he wants" on it and telling me to just hand it to the clerk during check-in, patting me on the arm and telling me everything will be fine! The voucher has a booking number that is internal to Cancelon, only. I called the hotel and as feared, they show no reservation for me in their system.

    Later, I noticed in the header of the email to which the voucher was attached, the following unbelievable statement: "We'll send your final hotel confirmation number a day before check in". SERIOUSLY? I should pack my kids up and drive across the state not having confirmed that I have a hotel room when I arrive? Would you do that? Better yet, would the CEO of your company feel comfortable doing that?

    I am totally blown away at the way this process has worked so far and it is proof to me that you don't monitor your "partners" at all or care about how they treat your customers. A quick search for reviews of CancelOn confirms some of the nightmare encounters I can only now hope I don't end up going through. I am very, very disappointed with this experience and the "bait and switch" approach you employ. You can rest assured that I will tell anyone I can about this and warn them away from your organization. On my way to Google Reviews...

    Expedia have managed to procure a refund from the hotel in question. I am delighted that this has happened but am still dissatisfied with Trivago for posting these cons! This day and age there are a plethora of scams, a company that deals in internet comparisons has a duty of care to their users to not be allowing companies that con people to advertise.

    Original Review: May 9, 2018

    While helping my daughter and son in law book a hotel for one night stay in Ireland, I found a great deal on Trivago via Expedia. The dates were not the one they wanted but had under dates, change dates? So I did that. It was just the day before so my son in law put his details in as the offer did not change. As soon as the payment was taken the dates flipped back. We are currently still dealing as Expedia stated we could have the dates but for an extra 77+ £’sss. We have asked for a refund as this is unacceptable. On trying to get Trivago’s help, there is no assistance from them. They are complicit in comparing sites for fraudulent deals and the changes are fraudulent too. The hotel refuse to give refunds and that is also unacceptable. The travel industry need to look into this and stop robbing people! Absolutely disgusted. I will now be posting this on all social media sites, so this cannot be done to anyone else.

    Trivago is competitively priced with other travel sites, rarely a difference in hotel room prices with other popular online booking sites. The benefit is how easily navigated the site is, and the information is more readily available at first glance. That said, I have priced hotel rooms on Trivago and then visited the actual hotel site to compare their pricing, which is often offering an internet discount. More than once, I have had a price match or a slightly lower price. Since taxes are based on the price, the combined total price can be enough of a savings to consider further research.

    I just spent 45 minutes trying to book this room on trivago. The system told me it was "checking for availability". It showed the rate it was available. I attempted to enter my credit card three times and kept getting a message that I entered my card wrong. The message advised me to contact an agent for further information. I finally called an agent and was informed that there are no more rooms available at this rate but for only $15 more or something like that, I could book the room. This is blatant false advertising! If the rooms at the $200 rate are no longer available, your webmaster needs to change it immediately. Then having a message about a credit card issue is doubly deceptive!

    A day later, after posting this information on trivago's Facebook messenger, I received an email from "Alex" that asked me to call him so he could help me with special VIP pricing. I called and was put on a 12 minute wait. "Henri" came on the phone and said that Alex was not available but unfortunately, all the rates "changed today". Henri wanted to help me find a "cheaper" room. I see the posting for the Hyatt in Coral Gables HAS been removed. These people ALL speak with broken English and this is a true scam operation.

    This was my first time trying Trivago. I tried to book a nice weekend in South Lake Tahoe, California with my boyfriend for the weekend of July 28-30th, 2017. I saw an option for a two night stay for $218/night at the Lake Tahoe Resort Hotel, and clicking directed me to their partner site Otel.com. I left the page open while I took a few minutes to discuss the hotel with my boyfriend and check my bank account to ensure I had transferred adequate funds from savings to my checking.

    Then, I entered my payment information on Otel.com, clicked continue, and received a "site error 504" message, so I went back and tried again, at which point I received another error message, only this one stated that there was a card error and I had insufficient funds to complete the transaction. Bear in mind, I had checked my bank account prior to entering my payment information and I had adequate funds, so I immediately checked my mobile banking app again. Upon so doing, I saw a charge pending in the amount of the booking I was attempting to complete.

    Hoping that meant it'd somehow been completed despite the error message and lack of proper confirmation on the website, I checked my email account I'd used for the booking. There, I found the following email: "** tried to make booking ---, but it failed. We tried refund but it also failed." I called my bank and reported potentially fraudulent activity and had my card blocked, however they weren't able to reverse the pending transaction. I then called the Lake Tahoe Resort Hotel to see if they had a reservation in my name and, unsurprisingly, they did not have any record of a booking in my name.

    I went to contact Trivago and found the cop-out clause on the "support" section of their site, where the company claims no responsibility for the actions of their partner sites due to Trivago being a third party booking service, so while I sent them a scathing email, I sincerely doubt I will receive any response of value. Their partner site laughably offered me an 8% discount code for my "next booking" when I contacted them for a refund. As a first time visitor to the Trivago site, my experience has left a bitter taste in my mouth, and no amount of discount offers could possibly entice me to visit their site again as a consumer.

    I have booked hotel accommodation through Trivago and stayed at Kochi, Kerala for two days. Got carried away with their advertisement as they assured the cheapest tariff compared to other sites. Hence I booked the room and contacted the hotel reception for confirmation. Without revealing the booking done I casually enquired the tariff and to my surprise the prices offered were much cheaper than what was offered by Trivago. When I narrated this to the staff, he said he cannot help it, as the booking is done online and I am liable to pay the committed amount. Hence I ended up paying an additional amount of 1272 INR for two days stay. So, my advice is that, pls. don't ever use the Trivago site for hotel booking... Do it straight or through other sites.

Upon confirming the reservation and making the payment, I realised that while I was looking to book a 5 star hotel, I was booked for a guest house (that had a similar name to that of the hotel I had shortlisted). Frustrated, I decided to contact Trivago through their website however there was no response from their end. I decided to write an email to them and hoped that they would help however it took them over 3 days to respond to my email.

    Even after this delay, what they offered to me was so offensive. They acknowledged that there was a problem on their website and that they wanted me to contact the vendor directly to cancel the reservation and they would bear the cancellation cost, if any!!! Really??? This is not what I expected. I saw a particular price for a particular property on their website and I wanted the property at the price advertised. I replied to their email demanding the same and it has been over 2 more days and I am still waiting for their response. Even a local store would have a better turnaround time than Trivago.

    I had very specific criteria, and Trivago let me search for a three star hotel in a certain district with the amenities I wanted, and that allows pets. I found the perfect place, and it was in my price range. It doesn't get better than that. All you have to do is enter the criteria for the kind of hotel and services you want. Trivago walks you through the process, so it's easy. Trivago only showed me hotels in the price range I selected. I was able to find the perfect place without worrying about going over budget.

    The booking services were very organized and very easy to use. You don't have to be computer savvy in order to work this website. I've never had any issues when I've booked a hotel through this website. This website is very easy to use. All you have to do is look up the area that you are staying, and the website does the rest for you. It shows you a list of hotels in the area, and compares the prices of them as well. The cost is probably the best aspect of this website. The website automatically compares the cost of hotels from different websites in order to find you the cheapest price. So you pay less for hotels when you use this website.

    I was offered so many choices and packages. My toughest decision was actually which one to use since the prices were very competitive. I got multiple listings compiled from several sites at trivago in one place. I simply put in my details, my preferences and the site came back with so many choices from several different companies that my only decision was to decide which company to go with. The prices were competitive and I was very pleased with that. I was very surprised at how inexpensive I could find on travel packages. The companies really want your business, so I ended up with a great deal I would never have been able to afford if I had gone to a travel agent. You can choose just one service, or a bundle of services - even from multiple companies working together to get you the best deal. It was basically point and click to get exactly what you want.

    Booking services were very easy to use. I booked hotel, flight and a car rental with very little effort and was provided with a variety of different options along the way. Service was very easy to use and I ran into little to no issues during the process. The only thing I'd recommend is a step by step process on booking flights. Cost was compatible to most competitor sites like Expedia, Travelocity or Trip Planner. Very similar options were available compared to other services and I was able to find a good rate in the end. I booked a show and dining in Las Vegas as part of my package and it was very easy to see all the options available. Car rental was also quite easy, but had some limited options on shuttles.

    I used it to find and book a very nice hotel and at an affordable price! It was easy to use and very helpful! It also gave me a wide range of options to better make the right decision for my travel needs! It was very easy to use. The directions were simple to follow! It was clear and simple to understand without any trouble whatsoever to navigate the booking process! It truly depends on what you're looking for and the price range you're looking in but I would say that it offers a wide range of affordable accommodations! They offer a wide range of extra services! I would say that they probably offer more services than most other sites! I was pleasantly surprised by what they offered!
