      On 6/3/25, I reserved a room at the ******* *** *** ******* ******* ********, arriving 6/14/25 and departing 6/15. The reservation was made on the *** website and the total cost was $156.71. The confirmation # was ******226 and the Reference # was ********396. At that time, I was unaware that *** used Priceline. Since that was the weekend of civil unrest in *** ******* ******, the room next to ours was occupied by noisy protesters who played loud music and practiced chanting loud slogans throughout the night. Many people were going in and out of that room, slamming the door throughout the night. These occupants were totally oblivious to the other guests’ right to enjoy peace and quiet. Security were called 3 times but were unable to stop the noise. The noisy occupants finally stopped making noise at 4:00 am. In the morning, when I brought this to the attention of the manager on duty, he mentioned that the incident was filed with the hotel's security report and we would receive a full refund for the amount of our stay. Subsequently, I spoke with the General Manager of the hotel, Julio M**, who spoke with Priceline and stated that Priceline assured him that they would contact me “within 24 hours” to issue a refund. That was on 7/8/25 and Priceline never contacted me, so that is why I am filing this complaint.

      I booked a hotel reservation through Priceline website. During the hotel stay we found the room had black mold present and had to leave the hotel. The hotel manager issued a full refund to the third party. After 10 months of constant requests to Priceline for the refund to be completed and given to me, I am reaching out to BBB to intervene. I spend hours on end on phone only to be told the hotel manager did not approve a refund. Totally untrue. Hotel manager provided me with his internal accounting showing date of refund and amount issued to Priceline’s partner. He also provided me with statement noting refund was approved by himself. All these supporting documents were requested by Priceline then emailed and received by Priceline.
      Priceline representatives and their supervisors continue to hide behind the excuse that their “partners” have not approved it yet. They never reveal who their “partners” are, but one rep did mention a company by name, ***.
      So today, I am told that that Priceline can’t forward the refund even though I provided date, amount, their partner’s account, and hotel manager’s authorization and accounting records. The reason why: now Priceline’s partner has a partner who hasn’t approved the refund yet. So Priceline is the third party, and I paid them. *** may be the fourth party. And now 4th party is waiting for mystery 5th partner to review submitted documents. All I want is the refund the hotel manager approved has given the money back to Priceline’s partner(s). I have spent more time and effort than one night at any hotel costs. Travelers need to be aware that when a hotel issues a refund to you, don’t expect Priceline to pass it on to your account without constant struggling and excuses laying blame on their “partners” all the while providing terrible customer service.

      I booked and prepaid for a car rental through Priceline. When I arrived at the rental counter to pick up the vehicle, I was informed that there were no cars available, despite my confirmed reservation.

      No replacement vehicle was offered, and no refund was issued automatically. I attempted to contact Priceline's customer service multiple times, but it was extremely difficult to reach anyone, and I did not receive any meaningful assistance.

      As a result, I was forced to make alternative arrangements and pay again out of pocket for a different rental. Priceline failed to deliver the service I paid for and has not refunded my money.


      ---

      Resolution Sought:

      I am requesting a full refund for the prepaid rental that was not honored. I also ask that Priceline improve its customer support and ensure that customers are refunded promptly when services are not provided.

      I booked a hotel through Priceline, but accidentally selected the wrong date. I realized the mistake immediately and contacted the hotel, who informed me that Priceline could assist with changes or a refund. When I reached out to Priceline, they claimed they couldn’t get a response from their partner, ***********. At one point, I was even told to call *********** directly as if I had made the reservation there myself.

      For 20 days, I followed up with Priceline multiple times. Each time, I waited over 20 minutes just to speak to someone, only to receive vague responses and no updates. The only communication they ever initiated was an email sent at 4:25 AM on the check-in date, informing me that my refund had been denied and I would lose my money if I didn’t check in.

      As a student who saved up to visit New York City for a single night, this experience was deeply disheartening. Not only did I lose my money, but my summer plans were also ruined. Priceline’s customer service was unhelpful, dismissive, and at times outright rude. They never for a day sent me communication to indicate that they were working on my issue.

      I contacted they hotel and they assured that if Priceline sent them the information required to process the refund they would work on it. "they would change the date if only i had booked with them"

      My biggest question remains: how can a company like Priceline fail to communicate with its own partner, ***********? It became clear this delay was intentional to drag out the process until the booking was non-refundable.
      I am not even sure that the hotel did not approve the refund because why would the email only come at 4 am on the last day.

      Dear ***** *****,

      Thank you for contacting us regarding your hotel reservation at the * ****** *** **** ******** * ******** ********** ******** *** **** for Request Number ********517.

      We are writing in response to your Better Business Bureau complaint.

      We understand that you inadvertently booked the reservation for incorrect dates. Our records show that you requested to confirm this booking for a check-in on July 6, 2025, and a check-out on July 7, 2025. As this booking was made at a restricted rate, we contacted our travel partner to explore the possibility of an exception or a refund but we did not receive approval for either. Regrettably, the reservation remains non-refundable.

      Thank you for your time.

      I called with an issue in regards to my hotel room. The customer service rep was very disrespectful, kept yelling, and talking over me. I have to speak with a supervisor. The supervisor said he's not a real supervisor and there's nothing he can do. I spend enough money with you guys to pay one of their salaries. Why am I treating so disrespectfully and not getting the help that you should be giving me? Why have customer service supervisors if they're saying they can't do anything about my situation?

      Reservation for 2 adults and 2 children booked it through Priceline. I had put it for 2 adults and 2 children the reservation #*******709. Priceline according to them the room was only good for 3 people. I had booked it for 4 people and had to pay $187.97 for my 9 year old child. They aren’t transparent with there prices and room guests. If it wasn’t for 4 people why allow me to book the room?

      I am ******* ********* for ****** ********. I made a rental request through Priceline. I was to pick the car up at ****** ** airport. Flight was delayed and car place was going to be closed. The car was never picked up. I called Priceline to get a refund for $164. They said they would contact fox company the car was coming from and I would have refund with in 10 days. A month goes by and no update or refund so I made a claim on my credit card. Credits card company did investigation and concluded that it wasn’t fraud and the price adjustment of $164 was going back on card. I called Priceline again and they said their system wouldn’t allow a refund.

      This is so not the case. Any manager could override the system and give refund. They just want to take my money and I have no control over flights being delayed. I’m not paying for a car rental I never had.

      Dear ***** ***

      Thank you for reaching out to us through your Better Business Bureau complaint regarding your ****** ******** ticket under Trip Number ********517.

      First and foremost, we hope you are feeling better and wish you a full and speedy recovery.

      We understand your request for a refund and have carefully reviewed your booking details. As your ticket was purchased under a non-refundable fare, we are unable to issue a direct refund. However, since you included Trip Insurance with your purchase, we recommend filing a claim with ******, the insurance provider.

      You can initiate your claim easily online by visiting:
      Online Claim Initiation: ********************************** to get started
      For any other questions, visit Homepage - Description of coverage details

      Customer Account Page - ******************************
      Please ensure you have the necessary documentation ready, as it will be required to support your claim.

      As a courtesy, we also reached out to ****** ******** to request an exception to the refund policy. Unfortunately, the airline did not approve our request, and the reservation remains non-refundable.

      We appreciate your understanding and thank you for your time.
