What you need to know about Booking.com
We’ve been getting a lot of complaints about Booking.com lately, and it is barely hanging on to its current rating. Here’s a recent case in which a customer was billed twice for her hotel room. Here’s a rate error that Booking.com refused to correct. Booking.com wouldn’t help these customers fix their suspended account. The company didn’t refund this customer’s tickets, even after months. A traveler lost $6,074 when Booking.com canceled her vacation rental without a refund. This traveler arrived at a hotel just to find out Booking.com didn’t make a reservation, and this customer booked a hotel through Booking.com, but now the hotel won’t respond to him. Booking.com wouldn’t refund this customer even though the rental was in terrible condition. Booking.com gave this customer the wrong ticket and kept her money. The company keeps asking this customer for the same documentation over and over.
