Booked a hotel room June 25th check out date June 26th at ************************, booked through a third party Hotel Reservations didn't realize it was a third party as it looked like Hampton Inns page. Booked for the wrong day (really wanted the 28th-29th) called immediately to change date. No response on the 25th even though I explained I was not using reservation on the 25th. Have continuously called the number asking for support and to speak to a supervisor. Only response has been one voice message with no number or extension to call back on and that they will elevate the issue. I have called and emailed continuously since the mistake on the 25th. They state there is no supervisor when I call. They state I have an open ticket. Also was charged $29.95 for a cancellation protection that I was not even aware of.I started by asking to switch the date and it cost more I would pay that then asked for a refund because no response was ever given and no customer service was given in response to any request.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:This is the same amswer I have received since June 25th. This was escalated then and there continues to be no response or communication from the business. A timeline has not been provided nor has a manger contacted me regarding this
These are the following expectations I have resolve this:
1. Will a refund be issued?2. What is a timeline for a refund, and response from a manager?
3. If this has been escalated how has there been minimal communication? How long does an escalation take? This is over $300 that I dont have to waste.
4 Id like an email to *********************** giving a timeline for refund, and a contact person with extension that is not a customer service representative.
On the 25th I was willing to switch my reservation and no response was given to allow this. I then had to drive 12 hours in a weekend and pay gas etc because no response was given.
Frankly this response is like all Ive gotten from the company automated not personalized.

On June 18, 2025 I called the number I thought was a direct number for the ****************** in ********* ** to make a reservation for 4 nights lodging while attending the *********** for medical appointments. I was quoted a price of $170 a night and agreed to that. The person was very hard to understand and I asked to be emailed a confirmation and was told I first needed to give him my credit card. I did and then received the email confirmation and it was for $861.92 for the room which was $181.92 more for the room charge than I had been quoted plus taxes of ****** (I knew there would be taxes) and ***** booking fee which I did not know about. I immediately called the number listed and was on hold for a long time and could not speak to an individual. I was worried that it was a scam because it was very hard to understand the person's foreign accent. I then emailed them and told the to cancel my reservation because I did not authorize this amount. They now have NO record of my itinerary # ********* because I cancelled it and I have not been able to talk to an individual (on hold forever) and have received no response to my email sent June 24, 2025. I called the hotel directly and made a new reservation and they told me this happens a lot., people think they are booking directly with the hotel and instead are booking with reservations.com. This is fraudulent activity! I have not been refunded my $1009.20 and on top of that had to pay for another room while I was there. I am 80 years old and feel I was ripped off and they refuse to even respond to my complaint.Business Response

On May 19, 2025, I called, what I thought was The ***************** in ****************. The person who answered the phone told me that I was speaking o the actual hotel . I made two room reservations, #H11358413 for $212.93 and H11358448 for ******. I was told they were refundable as long as I canceled by 7/9/25. On 7/1/25, I spoke with the actual Hotel to cancel rooms and was told that I made reservations through a 3rd party and would have to cancel through Reservations.com. This was the first I had heard of that website. So I tried to call *************** but you cannot speak to a human or even get automatic choices on their number. So I went into the emails that I have from them and tried to cancel and get my refunds. On one room I got only $68.20 refund and on the other room I received nothing. This website appears o be a total scam. People need to be warned about this website. I hope you can do something to assist me in getting a full refund. I have all the documentation for these transactions, but no way to up load them. Thank you very much.Business Response

Greetings,
Thank you for your prompt reply and for giving us the opportunity to review your case. We have located your reservation and found that a chargeback was filed with your card issuer. When a dispute is in progress, the transaction is automatically placed on hold for 90–120 days, during which Reservations.com is unable to issue additional charges or refunds.Although your bank has provided you with an interim update, we must wait until both financial institutions complete the chargeback review before any further action can be taken.
A partial refund of $514.17 USD was initiated on March 19, 2025. The release of these funds to your account now rests solely with your bank’s processing timeline. For further information, please contact your bank for questions regarding processing, follow-up and resolution time.
We will monitor the dispute status and are prepared to assist once it is fully resolved. Until then, no additional steps can be taken.Thank you for understanding,
Best regards,Caitlin Thomas

On April 8, 2025 I thought I was contacting Princess Cruise Lines to request something for my cabin on an upcoming cruise. I asked if it was ********************* and **** assured me it was. He said in order to process my request he would have to refresh my booking, and to do that he would need to recharge my credit card and turn right around and issue a refund for the original amount. The amount he was charging was $300 less because of a promotion. He assured me I would receive my refund in 1-2 billing cycles. I received an email stating I would have it by May *****, 2025. I did not receive a refund. Ive been calling ever since and getting excuses after excuses. I was then told I would have my refund by June 16, 2025. I called back on that day and was told I would have to wait another 7-10 days. Please help. My booking # was 8L2LVR. The amount was $7,422.90.Business Response

Greetings,
Thank you for your inquiry. After reviewing the details provided, we have confirmed that the cruise reservation was made through a different company. Reservations.com specializes exclusively in worldwide hotel bookings and does not facilitate cruise or other non-hotel travel reservations.Because many travel agencies include the word “Reservations” in their names, customers may inadvertently contact one when intending to reach another; however, Reservations.com is not affiliated with any of these companies, and is unable to reserve bookings for cruises at this time.
We recommend that the customer review their confirmation email or payment record to identify the correct provider and contact that company directly for assistance.
Should you require hotel arrangements in the future, Reservations.com will be pleased to help.

Hello I hope you can help. I called what I thought was the ************* at ******************************************. What I got was a company called Reservations.com associated with ***********. I called on 3June 25 to book a room for 8 June 25. It was hard to understand her accent and I didn't understand the Cancellation Protection Policy. After I booked the reason I was going to ******** was rescheduled. So I called back to cancel and I was told I would incur a penalty of the room rate of $92.98 because I didn't pay for Cancellation Protection Policy and I will incur the room rate penalty. I have never heard of Cancellation Protection - ever.Wyndham does not do this it is from this scam company. I cannot stay there 8 June 25 because the event was rescheduled. I really thought I was speaking with a Wyndham clerk i was mislead. Wyndham Policy is that you can be refunded up to the 24 hours before check in time. WITH NO PENALTY. I cancelled the same day. I am 69. A retired veteran of the ******* and on *** I can't afford to pay for something I cant use.The entire bill is $121.23 with taxes however I would be charged room rate it is on the paperwork I printed out. So is the tax refunded? Total $121.23. I thank you so much for what you do to help people that have had a wrong done and you correct it right. Thank youBusiness Response
