We planned to attend a friend's funeral and made reservations with Reservations.com on 9/16/24 for two rooms at the ********, ** *********** for September 20, 2024. We called back within an hour to cancel the reservations. We were told to cancel with the hotel directly, which we then did. These are the cancellation numbers: ********* and *********. The hotel manager, ****** Fenway, said that we were well within their 24-hour cancellation window.We have since gone around and around with Reservations.com representatives trying to get refunded the $79.98 ($39.99 x 2) reservation fee + the $321.62 ($160.81 x 2) hotel charge. They finally said they would refund the charges, but they have not been credited to our credit card.Business Response

This company is scamming folks booking. They are an affiliate partner via *******. We are a hotelier. They charge customers higher rates. Then pay the hoteliers discounted rates. We've had 4 guests this summer with issues. This company told them they could bring a Dog, overcharged guests anywhere fom 30 to 100 over our rates on our website AND expedia..refused to include emails and phone numbers for the guests. And had a no refund policy, where we allow 2 weeks to cancel. They also impersonated us. Said they were us i am only one that takes the calls, as we are a small venue. ******* closed all my cases. An attorney was able to get her overage fees back.Business Response

Reservations.com was used to book a room at a Hilton. Reservations.com charge me for the room and extra fees and then cancelled my room. Upon receiving the cancellation, the hotel responded with an email that all fees for the room was waived. I have repeatedly went back and forth between the hotel and Reservations.com but Reservations.com does not want to help in any ******* I'm left without a room and the charge for the room was taken by ***************. The hotel cannot help me since they do not have a booking and they have not received the charge.Reservations.com have kept the money and cancelled the room.Business Response

Attempted to book my room on the official hotel Super8 website. It seems I clicked on a *************** website that looked deceptively similar to the hotel website. The *************** website (which looked like Super8) offered me a room for $80.00. *************** did not inform me this was US dollars (I am Canadian and historically legit hotel sites do not charge me an exchange rate without telling me what it is.) Once I paid and went to my credit card to see the charge I knew I was scammed. I was charged $130 for the room and a $27.00 seperate fee I never knew about. nor consented to on top of that. I am ****** about paying almost double for the room what I thought I was paying, but more concerning than a double the price charge is the fact that I never tried to do business with ***************. I never heard about them before today. They deceptively trick people with their ****** ads and make their website look like the hotel websites. This is wrong and should in fact be illegal.Business Response

Oct 4, 2024 My 89 year old husband was helicoptered to ***********************, ************ with a broken hip The roads out of our ************ were impassable because of the flooding I was having trouble finding a reservation once I was able to get to ************ I called *********** They were full. I was immediately transferred to a voice asking if I wanted help finding a reservations. I assumed I was still talking to ***********. This person found me a reservation at the ******** and asked me to confirm the reservation which I did. She mentioned something about a service fee but I had no idea what she was talking about and I was standing in the hall outside my husband's room wanting to get back inside because the doctor had just come in. I was shocked when I received an email from Reservations.com confirming my reservation and telling me I had committed to a non-refundable service fee of $101.38. I was furious. Because I most likely approved this charge when I confirmed the reservation on the phone, my money will probably not be refunded. At the very least I would like to see this business with its deceptive, predatory and fraudulent practices exposed and hopefully charged and put out of business.Business Response

On Thursday October 17th I tried to book a hotel and was unaware I had been redirected to a third party American website for a hotel I was trying to book in ******. I am a Canadian travelling to another Canadian city. Not knowing I was redirected to an American website I was unaware that the price had been changed to USD (85 usd + service fee per night). I purchased a room then immediately checked my email where the price had been charged as ****** per night. Within 30 minutes I tried emailing and explaining my situation when they told me nothing could be done. I also called the hotel where they told me this charge was way more expensive than their direct website which is what I was trying to accessBusiness Response

I, ***** A *******, booked and paid for a three-night stay for my parents at the ******** by Wyndham of *************, ******. I also paid for refund protection. My mother fell ill on the drive up here, so they turned around and returned home. I requested a refund for two of the three days I paid for. I was at first denied a refund " because my mother was not hospitalized" and "I could not provide a doctor's note." After multiple phone calls and emails trying to find out if Days Inn received the entire payment and voicing my issue about the fact that if I had booked directly instead of using a third party, I would have only been charged for one day, I was told that Days Inn did receive my entire payment, that they Reservations Support spoke with the manager of the Days Inn and I would be a credit to my account, but I am still waiting to receive one. I am requesting a refund for two of the three days I paid for.Business Response

I booked a hotel via *******************. When I got the confirmation email I realized it was the wrong hotel. I immediately call them back to rectify the problem. They booked the correct hotel with the understanding that a refund will be issued for their mistake. However, after the correct hotel was booked and I was charged, hey passes me to another **** who told me they do not issue refunds. so now I was charged for 2 hotels for the same night because of their error and I can't get a refund. total cost is almost 500$.Business Response

I have attached the report that I filed with the ***, the chat transcript that I had with them today, and the email they sent me confirming my purchase where it clearly states that I will be getting a refund. They said it again in the chat today and stated that they work with ***************** and new my ticket voucher numbers. They said that it would take 2-3 billing cycles to receive the refund but they are lying as I now know that they don't work with or for *****************. Please help me this is a lot of money for my family and I never would have bought the tickets without thinking I was getting back the credit for the travel credits.Business Response
