      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% refund

      I was booking a hotel room at *********** in ******* ******. I clicked on the "official" site and called directly. But apparently it's a scam and it's "reservations.com". Anyways I called directly because of reviews and making sure Waterpark is included. I asked the guy on the phone multiple times "and this is WITH the Waterpark?" He said yes every time. Even making their phone number similar. I think these sites need to be held accountable. The hotel said my reservation was through expedia. I didn't even know that. I even asked the person on phone about giving him my membership number. Never once did he say anything about it not mattering. I can't even get points for my stay. This was wrong on so many levels.

      I wanted to make a reservation with a ************ directly for some reason I was directed to a third party when I thought it was the original Hotel as I wanted to book directly nowhere that it said that it was a third party I did the bookie and then I noticed a fee apart from the price that I paid for the room I canceled it getting communication with the company and they said that fee was none refundable I think the page was misleading trying to act like if you were directly making the reservation with the hotel

      I would like to file a claim against a business that operates from Reservations.com. I was looking to book a stay in *********, ** for a group. I thought I was on the ********************** site booking a reservation, however I was actually booking through a third party, which was NOT clear. I only discovered that I hadn't booked directly through the hotel site when I researched the email address associated with the booking: *******************************************. Unbeknownst to me, while on the **************** site, I was redirected to this third party site. I was booking 4 rooms, 3 nights total. The nightly fee for each hotel room was $404.99. The total taxes noted were $210.00. After completing the transaction, I noticed the total amount was $7,387.84!!!! I immediately searched for a breakdown of the costs and noticed the taxes were $210.66 PER NIGHT, PER ROOM. What??!! This was very unclear upon booking and extremely misleading. Not only misleading but now non-refundable. How is a company able to get away with this deceptive practices? Its not even clear who the company was on the booking site. No name, no nothing...only an email of *******************************************. Thats it! All I could find on the bottom of the site was the following: Copyright ********* ****************************** I immediately called the hotel and canceled the reservation. I filed a case with my credit card company, to challenge the charges. I hadn't used any services, was mislead as to the cost and now am out $7,387.84. Reservations.com responded to the credit card company investigation stating the actions of the cardholder constitute "friendly fraud"....what does that even mean?? How am I, the consumer, being fraudulent? They go on to say the consumer "received the good and services made available." NO, we did not. Who has our money? Not the hotel...we cancelled the room and they emailed us a confirmation noting the cancellation and $0.00 for services.

      After reviewing the provided information, we were able to confirm that you have booked your reservation with Reservation Stays and not Reservations.com. While both have "Reservations" in the name, neither company is related to each other.

      While we empathize with your concerns, we advise contacting the company you have booked your reservation through so that they may further assist you. Please be advised, Reservations.com does not have the ability to assist due to privacy reasons between Reservation Stays and the customer.

      Reservations.com owes us a refund for $290 for a cancellation. They only refunded one night for a two night reservation cancellation. The hotel is a ***************** in *********** *******. Date was July *****. Ive tried 20 times to get this resolved over the phone. They say it was approved on August 4th and will be refunded to my credit card. They keep pushing the date back by 2-10 business days, but no refund has come. Very frustrating! The itinerary # is H11814002. Please help, theyre phone people can not resolve it.

      I was attempting to book a room with *************************. I was searching their hotel website information and I called a phone number to book online as I had a question I needed to ask the reservation department. I was greeted with ************************* and went forward with the booking. My call was dropped and I was sent a text message to call and continue with my booking. I called back and was quoted a much higher price. I asked why did the price increase so much? He informed me that not every agent includes the resort fee in the total, so it can appear less than it really is, but he said he was sure to include all fees to me, including resort fees. I repeatedly asked if this was the senior rate on the website, he said yes but he can actually get it even cheaper. He never corrected me that I was not actually speaking to the Hyatt **************** directly. He agreed this was the Hyatt Senior Rate policy which would have allowed for free cancellation until August 26th. This was also not accurate. After receiving my confirmation, I called the Hyatt front desk to confirm. They informed me I did not book directly with them and that the resort fees were in fact not included in the reservation I had just made. I called "***************" and requested a full refund without penalty as I was misled by their agent. They created a ticket for me in an email thread. I remarked on the ticket that at the very least I deserved to be refunded the $114 in resort fees as I was worried they would submit the cancellation and charge me the penalty without being able to dispute it. I received an email that my "refund was being processed." It had zero mention of the dollar amount or what I was being refunded for. The full amount, or just $114, or the full amount with the penalty. I called and wasn't told anything. Not knowing what to do, I made a new reservation directly with *****. I do not trust this company and just want my full refund and not do business with them.

      On 08/06/2025, I called the local number for the hotel ******************** in *******,**, which automatically routed me to a call center. I specifically asked for a room with a hot tub/jacuzzi in the room. The reservation agent assured me that the room included this feature. Based on that confirmation, I provided my credit card and was charged $165.83.Within five minutes, I called back to confirm directly. A different agent contacted the hotel and verified that the room did not have a hot tub/jacuzzi. I then canceled the reservation immediately. However, only $52.84 has been refunded to **** have called several times and each time I am told the matter will take 10 days to resolve, but the remaining refund has not been issued. Since the reservation was based on misinformation from the booking agent and was canceled right away, I am requesting a full refund of the remaining balance ($112.99).

      I totally agree with other reviews. I was led to believe that I was connecting directly with the hotel. I was charged with 2 Tax recovery and fees. One was ****** outrageous, other was *****. I called the number that I had used to make a reservation. I asked what the name of the company was and the person transferred me somewhere. Then they promptly hung up. The just answer the phone resverations. Totally deception. I am investigating further. Also they mention on my reservation page they are including a 4 month membership to some golf thing. That was never mentioned to me on the phone call. I immediately canceled my credit card. Beware!
