      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.

      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,

      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.

      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.

      Kindly,

      Caitlin Thomas

      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 you

      I was making a hotel reservation for me and a co-worker using the phone number listed below the resort name on my phone. I was told that the charge would be $175.15 per room, when I asked if that was the Rexair rate (our company) I was told yes. When I asked if I was calling the hotel direct, the guy stated that he could not hear me, I asked again, he said I was breaking up, after the third time of me asking, he hung up. I immediately called and canceled the reservation and they are stating that I agreed to a cancelation policy which was never even communicated to me. I am not sure what type of shady place this is, but I will be disputing the charges.

      This companys website it formatted to look exceedingly similar to ******* booking website. I booked a stay for my sons wedding and thought I was booking at ******. I called on May 7 regarding extending my stay by one day (still thinking I was speaking with ******). They said they would extend it. When I called the hotel the day before, they indicated this stay was through a third party site and there had been no extension. I called again and they said they could only request an extension and would do so and let me hear back in 24 hour. I then called the next day to be told an extension was not possible and the only way to have this new day was either to book a new stay for one day through this site or ask the hotel to start a new reservation. It is frustrating that that this company has created its website to purposefully look like the valid site and additionally, will tell you different things and string you along until its too late and request you make new bookings through them.

      I was sold a hotel (**********) key west by this company that was supposedly clean and had free parking. This hotel is a health risk. It smells like mold and has cockroaches in the room. I couldnt stay at the hotel for the health risk. When I called to get a refund they said I needed photos of the moldy room. Well I cant provide photos of the smell of mold.

However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.

    When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

    BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.

    As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business.
