The hotel has denied our request for a refund as the booking was made as a "Non-Refundable" reservation.
As a courtesy, Reservations.com has offered a refund on behalf of Reservations.com for the full amount including the non-refundable service fee as a courtesy for the inconveience.
We have emailed the customer directly regarding a refund. Please respond to the email directly so that we may further assist you regarding a refund.

This company defrauds people. I thought I was on the ******* website. I was somehow redirected to this sham that sold me a stay at a Hyatt that was nonrefundable. It was not clearly marked and was not clear that this was a different company. When I called to change or cancel my reservation, they declined telling me the reservation was not cancellable and not changeable.Customer Answer

On 5/28 I made a hotel reservation #******* thru reservation.com. There was no final preview screen before order went thru. I needed room on 5/29 not 5/28. I immediately called them to correct date and received no help at all from reservation.com. To correct date error they advised only Hotel can approve refund. I have contacted the hotel and they approved refund but refund has to be processed thru reservation.com and they continue to tell me they will look into and still have not refunded it back. I have called ************ many times. It has been 6 months and They have given me the run around over and over and keep saying they will submit ticket to refund the ****** .Same thing happens each time I call. Not sure what else to do . Feel so scammed Thank you ***********************Business Response

The customer has booked their reservation with "BookOnline.com" and not with "Reservations.com"
Please note that both companies are two separate and different entities, and are not associated with one another. We advise contacting BookOnline.com for further assistance regarding your reservation.
Please close this case as Reservations.com is not associated with "BookOnline.com" and is unable to further assist as this is not the correct company.

I thought I was booking a hotel room directly through the hotel site for $130. It turns out, it was through reservationscenter.com. I never received a confirmation email. I checked my bank acct, and they charged me $180.95. I called the 800 number and spoke with a rep who kept trying to just offer me 10% off instead of refunding me. I was told that a refund “should” be processed and to wait 10 business days before I call them back. Very misleading and a SCAM!!Business Response
Date: 12/11/2023
In the customer's description, they have mentioned that they have booked through "Reservationcenter.com". We are "Reservations.com". Please note that although both companies use "Reservations" in the name, we are two separate entities.
We have also reviewed the information provided with the BBB, and we are unable to locate any reservation.
We kindly ask to close this case as the customer has reserved their booking with "Reservationscenter.com" and not "Reservations.com."

I attempted to make a reservation at the CLive ********* I made it by phone call and they gave me a reservation number for it. A few minutes late ? got a text message from my credit union about possible fraudulent activity, which turned out to be connected to Reservations.com. In talking with the credit union they suggested I check and see if in fact I had a reservation. When I called the hotel directly they told me I didn’t have a reservation but made one for me (at half the price of reservations.com!!). I called the credit union back who helped know what I could do to cancel the bogus reservation. The reservations.com web page did not allow me to cancel.Business Response

Nature of dispute: 3rd party did not identify itself during transaction of a reputable hotel chain reservation
Business resolution? Tried without success
RN ********** ** *************
On 11/25/23, I made a reservation at the ** ****** in Maricopa, Arizona. During the payment procedure, I was sent to a third-party website known as reservation.com without my knowledge. Upon receiving my confirmation email, I discovered that two accommodations had been reserved as opposed to the initial one. Despite my prompt correspondence with reservations.com, they categorically declined to issue a refund. It is unclear whether I inadvertently reserved two rooms rather than one, or whether their system erred and caused extra booking. During the payment process there is no “review booking” prior to confirming and being charged. Once your payment is inputted, you select “Next” and you’re charged. Regardless, they were contacted within minutes of the issue being identified through the confirmation email and they are refusing a refund for one of the rooms. Correspondence is included.

11/21/2023 I was making a reservation on ******* hotel.com and proceeded to make a room reservation and the url changed without any notice to the header being reservations in front of the ******* hotel. Reservations.com charged me $219.20 for the room a night with added fees and a resort fee on top of it. The total was too high from what the hotel was able to provide. It ended up being $210 dollars more than what the hotel booking would be. I requested to cancel it and they said they would but the cost was not refundable. It is a fraudulent behavior.Business Response

I booked a room through reservations.com for one night. I explained I do not have a credit card and cannot pay for a deposit. The agent went forward booking the room and charged my card. When I arrived to the hotel I was told they cannot book a room without a deposit plus there is an additional charge for a service fee. The agent made no mention of this additional charge during my booking.
Unable to gain access to the room that I booked, I called reservations.com back and demanded a full refund and stated the aforementioned. The “supervisor” told me the hotel has denied my refund request. I reintegrated that the charge on my card came from reservations.com , not the hotel. They Refused to issue me a refund although I was unable to gain access to the room and blamed ********* Hotels. This is bad business as I was misinformed and denied my refund. ********* Hotels expressly stated that I needed to resolve my dispute with reservations.com since they are the company that I did business with. I want this company thoroughly investigated as no one should be charged for a service or room they cannot have access to!!Business Response
