I booked 3 rooms and didn't see they ask €111,72 "service fees" on a booking of €176,25. If it was an honest platform, I would never have paid such fees for nothing! I directly asked the refund but no answer.
Bait and switch reservation website. Horrible to non-existent customer service - they are trained and scripted to give you the run around. They always can not find your reservation, can not confirm your identity, will provide a new number for you to call next, and will promise to get back to you in 24-48 hours and never do. Wave goodbye to your $ if you book with them.
Just was Scammed by getaroom.com | never used their business intentionally thought the hotel I connected with was the actual Radisson affiliate
Country Inn Suites. Once I realized when I received a receipt not coming from the actual hotel I cancelled it right away. Not realizing they treated it as a non refundable reservation. The reservation came through as cancelled receipt although the payment was just posted as a payment with my credit card. Called their so called customer service they said I cannot get my money back due to their policy. Which is clearly ecommerce FRAUD.
Be aware reported to actual Radisson affiliated location plus FRAUD unit for my credit card.
This company needs to be reported and brought down! After further investigation and research their are thousands of complaints about them on BBB, tripadvisor and other review sites that they acting like you are getting a reservation from the actual hotel reservation online service - they add bogus fees and no ware on the booking info indicates its a non refundable transaction. Please help others by invesigating further -just found out this company was acquired by priceline.com who now is the parent company.plus their is an active

GetARoom.com Class Action Alleges Deceptive Hotel Booking Methods
GetARoom.com faces a class action lawsuit from customers who claim that the third-party hotel booking company engages in deceptive hotel booking methods.
I thought I booked direct with hotel. A week before our stay, I called hotel to add a night to booking and asked about verification code I was supposed to have received to enter hotel and room. Thus began nightmare. Hotel had no reservation. After a lot of work, they told me I booked thru Expedia. We called Expedia together, Expedia said I booked thru a travel agency and provided an international # number to call. I'm summarizing the nightmare.
Since this was a family event for a graduation, I needed the rooms but hotel couldn't help with modifying reservation or providing verification email. Kept telling me I had to go back where I booked reservation. Since I believed I booked on hotel website, I had no idea where they were telling me to go. I ended up booking rooms direct with hotel via phone. They guaranteed a full refund on original reservations.
After the celebration, I called hotel to say I hadn't received refund. They referred me to Expedia who then provided an international phone number.
My next call was to my credit card company to dispute the charges. I'm in the middle of the dispute. Get a Room provided letter to Cc company indicating I called them. Funny since I never heard of Get a Room before disputing charge with credit card company.
This company is a complete scam. I don't know how they hijack people from hotel web site but this is a complete scam and needs to be shut down
I booked a hotel to coincide with a jazz festival and my 32nd wedding anniversary. Unfortunate my nephew passed form cancer. The funeral is being held during the time I booked the vacation. The small print on the reservation said NO REFUND. I had no luck with Affirm who paid the amt in full. Finally, when i reached out to geta room, I was treated with compassion and respect and within 24 hours Affirm received a refund and I am no longer on the hook for this. They did what affirm did not do in a week in 24hrs, Affirm even asked me to send in a copy of the obituary! When I called the next day, they said they did not ask for it. GETAROOM solved my problem. Thank you Rachel Gray

I found it was difficult to navigate and find the room type that I was looking for.

I booked 5 rooms, but was charged for 9 rooms. After being told it was just a 24 hr. Hold, I was hung up on 3 times with customer service. The hotel was pleasant, clean and staff was polite and courteous but the reservation process was unclear, unorganized and very unaccommodating!
Please know that we do take our customers' reviews very seriously. In follow-up, after unsuccessful attempts to reach you to work toward a favorable resolution, we will note this case as closed due to no reply from customer. If you change your mind and wish for assistance, please reply to the separate email sent to you directly. Thank you.

The booking process was okay, but I did not receive a confirmation email with a confirmation number. I had to cancel my trip, and when I called to do so, I was told multiple that there was no record of my reservations. After about an hour and a half on the phone trying to cancel the reservations and being told that I didn't have any I gave up. I was then charged for 2 rooms at a hotel I never stayed in, and Getaroom told me I had no reservations at through them. The link on my credit card statement for who the rooms were booked through was Getaroom.
I will never use them again, and will definitely discourage, anyone I know from using them!

The site seemed easy enough.
However, I thought that I was on the hotel website.
Nancy,
Thank you for the great feedback and the service opportunity!

It was a terrible experience no indication about a deposit and I still have not received my deposit back after checking out. The only thing this has going for it is prices.
We do apologize for the experience with the hotel directly. We do hope that you notified the hotel staff and management of your concerns. After further research the amount collected at the hotel would be a incidental hold hotel that the hotel may require as part of their operational procedures. We encourage you to contact the hotel directly to confirm their processes. We regret any inconvenience or frustration that this experience has caused and hope the information we provided has adequately addressed your questions or concerns. We take our customers’ reviews very seriously, and we’d like to thank you for updating your star rating for your customer service experience on Sitejabber.

Competitive pricing and straightforward booking process. Simple user interface that was easy to navigate and quick to load. If it had a reward system, I would definitely use again as well as recommend.
Carolyn,
Thank you for the great feedback and the service opportunity!

This company does everything they can to impersonate Hilton to the point that I did not realize that I was booking from a third party. They reserved the room but failed to actually pay for the room forcing me to pay in person. This did not stop them from charging my card though!
Tried to call the 1-800 help line, robot runs you around in circles and prevents you from actually speaking with anybody.
Called Hilton, confirmed that gettaroom did not pay them anything as there card was declined.
Disputed the payment with my creditcard, gettaroom argued I still owed them the money and was trying to "circumvent" the cancelation policy...I stayed in the room I booked, they just did not pay and left me with no way to reach them.
Left a review on another website, they had the audacity to contact me via email, telling me that they could not refund me until the dispute was cleared by my bank.
Anyway, total scam, dont use them for anything.
Called the Hilton, they confirmed gettaroom did not pay as there credit card was declined.
Ty, Thank you for your patience with this as our Service Resolutions Team has researched your complaint. Your case history indicates that you have filed a chargeback with your financial institution on your transaction. Because you disputed the charge for the pre-paid reservation with your financial institution, Getaroom is unable to proceed with the request of a refund at this time. Once that decision is final, our team will be able to assist further. Our goal with your Sitejabber review is to promptly work for your satisfaction resulting in your improving the star rating. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Getaroom
It was fine I do not enjoy having to do this though
Fast, easy, and convenient. I was pleased with the easy process and very please with the price!
After speaking to customer service they are going to refund the whole amount in question. Cheryl was very friendly and helpful.
This site is a scam! Won't give us the rooms we paid for or a refund. Do not use this site. You can't understand the representative and won't let you talk to supervisor.

I need to amend my review.
After many requests they finally (and pretty quickly) reimburse the extra 36 euro.
Very fast and effective customer service.
Total to pay not at all clear!
I would say comparable to scam.
They attract with a price (in my case 62 euros) and then they add the taxes during the payment phase, in my case 36 euros (I didn't see the full total until I received confirmation from the credit card).
So I paid 98 instead of 62 as declared when booking.
I immediately wrote to customer service to cancel the reservation, but the response was non-refundable.
If the additional taxes were declared somewhere, it was written in tiny, hidden letters. Be wary!
Ilaria, Thank you for your candid feedback and details about your experience with us. At Getaroom, we can offer the best deals to our customers because of our partnerships, and we apologize if your experience with us was unsatisfactory. We have sent you a detailed email directly. As a resolution has been achieved; we hope you will re-rate your experience to reflect your satisfaction.

Answer: They are not ethical. For me, they used a website that appeared to be the actual hotel website, did not identify themselves when they should have, and did not mention booking fees while they charged a 30 percent booking fee for a room that was its normal price. They were supposed to cancel charges on my credit card and did not. STAY AWAY!
Answer: They are a site attached to Trip Advisor---- if you see them on screen while trying to book a room-- hit cancel. I'm out over $150 because of their fraudulent cancellation policy.
Answer: Thought I was booking on the actual hotel sight but was deceived in as much as it was Getaroom. Talked to someone else also staying at this hotel at the same for about a third less. Called them right back and had already charged my card and it would be up to 3 weeks to refund. That's about what it took but did get refund. Then checked reviews and no one had anything good to say about getaroom. Go straight to hotel sight of one you know and trust or stick with something like Travelocity.
Answer: I'm definitely in. There's something very deceptive, if not illegal, when you start off on a hotel's website and when you click Make a Reservation, it somehow transfers you to the GetARoom site without your knowledge. I had no idea this was done until I received their email confirmation. I'm thinking of contacting my state's Consumer Protection Div. Of the AG's Office to file a complaint when I get back from vacation.
Answer: Call 800-468-3578 but good luck. They are scammers
Answer: Wow. This is one bad company. Made a reservation and then needed to cancel. They gave cancel date all along. I called to cancel on that date and was told that date was only for 1 minute of date they told me. I was supposed to forfeit one night's cost. Luckily I made reservation on AMEX and they'll tell this fraud company to get lost. Moral of the story: make reservations through hotel.
Answer: Hi Sharon, We apologize for any negative experience. As this question is about a pending refund due to the impact of Covid -19, please know that our refund response times are longer than normal. We are working diligently with all of our suppliers to get approval and expedite your refunds. We do see that there is a recent review posted by Sharon. We will assume that is from you and add it to the queue for a Service Resolutions Specialist to review your case. Sincerely, Getaroom
Answer: Hi Al, Please advise your booking number and we will have a representative reach out to you. Thank you. Getaroom.com
