I made a reservation for the ************* under the impression I was contacting the hotel directly as this site was the first result when looking up the hotel. There was mention of a cancellation fee when making the booking. I called back to confirm rates and a medical discount as no confirmation email was sent. The AI assistant canceled the booking with no mention of fees. At this time we got a hold of a person and were told of the cancelation fees They could not reverse the cancellation or do anything to help correct the situation. The supervisor was equally unhelpful. They kept reffering to an escalations department that does not have a phone number, and to wait possibly days for them to contact me. Throughout the process the amounts discussed were in CAD, but the cancellation email shows American dollars. The supervisor at the call center would not share any information or contact for this other department that could fix it.Business Response

Company charged my bank account and I never received a confirmation email or anything. I tried calling multiple times and finally got a non-automated agent. They told me since I cancelled prior to a specific date that I had to pay a 1 night stay. I wasnt even sent the amount, the confirmation information or any details regarding this. I didnt even reserve the stay and they charged me instantly. Like stated already customer support is very hard to get ahold of and the ***** supposedly customer support kept asking me for a confirmation to cancel but I had none! No where on the booking site stated about taking first night stay as a fee, as well as it stated no pre payment you can pay at property but they took 580$ from my banking account immediately!Business Response

I booked a one-night stay through Reservations.com. The confirmation clearly showed one night at a hotel with a king-size bed and a pool. However, upon arrival, I was charged for two nights instead of one, and the room provided was a double with no pool. This misrepresentation and overcharge caused me to be unable to afford the incidental charges.I contacted Reservations.com for a refund, but they refused. I am requesting:- A refund for the both night I was wrongly charged. - Compensation/refund for being placed in the wrong room type without the promised amenities.This is unfair business practice and deceptive advertising. I have documentation of my confirmation, the charges, and the incorrect room assignment.Desired Resolution: Refund for the overcharge and compensation for the incorrect booking.Business Response

On September 20th, I had reservations at a hotel for a wedding in ***************. Upon arrival, the hotel had a problem with the single use card provided by reservations.com and were not able to receive payment for my room, although I have confirmation from reservations.com that the reservation was paid for. After several calls to the reservations.com team and reassurance that the issue would be resolved within ***** hours, there has been no resolution and I am unable to get my money back from the double charge I received from the hotel. According to the reservations.com representative, this problem was due to a glitch in their system. Reservations.com was supposed to send an email to the hotel containing a new single use card so the hotel could get paid for the original reservation and refund my money from the double charge. None of this has happened nearly a week later even though reservations.com has received the information they asked for, including proof that the hotel charged me again for the same reservation along with the original confirmation of payment. This has been a terrible experience and I will go above and beyond to tell everyone who will listen never to book with reservations.com as they do not prioritize customer satisfaction nor make any efforts to rectify mistakes.Business Response

Employee ran my debit card without confirming details and purchase price. When confronted he left me in hold for over an hour. When I called back the same day, Sept 5, 2025 after speaking to an employee and Supervisor I was advised my complaint had been send up to the appropriate team. I called back Sept 14th for an update and to speak with an supervisor. I never revieved a call back. I called back today, Sept 19th to get another update due to the initial supervisor stating it would take 7-10 business days to resolve starting Sept 5, 2025. During my phone conversation with a employee and supervisor on Sept 19, 2025 I was told my case did not get escalated until Sept 14th and was not sent up to by a supervisor or employee Sept 5, 2025 as I was told. My card was fraudulently ran without my permission or confirmation. I am seeking a full and immediate refund.Business Response

On September 2nd, I was searching for motels in *************, *****. I selected the Best Western and when I did, third party options appeared. I selected "Reservations .com" and processed to check out. Once payment was recorded, It appeared it was for a Best Western in *************, ********, not *****. I hit my back button and I had indeed selected Texas not ********. I immediately contacted Reservations help line and informed them that when I selected their link, it changed locations and I felt i should receive a 100% refund. Instead I was only refunded $38 out of a $147.98 charge. Had I selected the wrong state, I could understand. However, I feel they switched locations through clicking their link. Considering it was only a couple minutes after booking and something with their site, I should receive a 100% refundBusiness Response

I am rejecting this response because:The reservations.com representative led my wife to believe that she was dealing with the front desk of the hotel she searched for by name using her smartphone. The website that came up from the search is deceptive and looks like the actually best Western coral hills website. Additionally, as part of the deception, they included a local phone number (same area code) in the search result, showing further intent to deceive her.
I will be satisfied only with a full refund of the price difference between what we would have paid if we had not been tricked into believing that we were dealing directly with the front desk of the Coral Hills Best Western for a reservation.
