Positive highlights

  • But the booking experience was very easy and saved me a lot of money.
  • Best rate I've found, but had to go through the booking process twice to get it to go through.

Critical highlights

  • After some difficulty with their customer service getaroom was able to make things right for my stay.
  • I figured once I disputed the charges with my credit card company, all would be done.

“Customer service is great”

After a misunderstanding customer service was able to rectify my situation and give me a full refund!

Top Critical Review

“Getaroom has deceptive pricing”

Ann L.
1/11/24

Getaroom's website is deceptive, misleading and deceitful. The price displayed for 2 nights was $116, which was slightly less than other sites ($68/night on Booking, Expedia, Priceline). Once I entered credit card information, the charge tripled to $343.95. I immediately called to void the charge. The service representative quoted their "no cancellation" policy. This is not a traveler friendly company who wants to keep you as a customer. Using "no cancellation for any reason" policy to justify their outrageous upcharges is certainly a sign they know this business is a scam.

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!

This hotel website is awful. Customer service is completely unhelpful and basically cut me off. Took our money saying they cannot help in anyway. Website details an unclear but soon want to take money off you on a page where you cannot check your booking. When we tried to navigate back it's still unclear and customer service really don't want to know. We will not be using this hotel chain again!

Was rushing through a day of booking process and inadvertently booked through getaroom.com rather than the website of the hotel. Not until I entered my CC information did the price increase by 70% in hidden fees and taxes. These taxes and fees came with no explanation!

I didn't even intend to proceed but accidentally clicked submit. I called immediately after and was offered 50$ off the 170$ up charge. This company seems to only exist to take advantage of consumers and serve no purpose in actually booking a room.

I am in the process of working with AmEx to dispute the charges and recoup my poached money. Disgusting practices.

Finally, I'm quite surprised by the high number of 5 star reviews flooding this review site. I suspect this is also fraudulent.

Ha… kudos for creating such an innovative and catchy name for the company…
Go get a room 😀
It was my first time using this service, I was travelling to Mastichr in the Netherlands and needed some relatively cheap place to stay for a night.
That's how I found a Stayokay place in Maastricht and paid only $35 for a night. It was much cheaper than anything else I could find with some other popular booking services.
I forgot to mention a friend of mine recommended this service to me exactly for this purpose. Now I have them bookmarked and whenever I need a room, I know where to find it 🙂
So, I am sharing my new discovery with all of you!

GETAROOM website offered the lowest hotel rate online for an Elevated Two Queen Beds Renovated room at the Strat Hotel compared to Trivago, Priceline, Travelocity, Trip Advisor, Traveluro, and other travel agency websites.
Further, GETAROOM was "honest" to include information about a Hotel Resort Fee and the "exact" amount the hotel will charge per night. This is my 1st time to make a reservation via GETAROOM. I am impressed by their integrity, professionalism, and dedication to provide the best hotel rates online. Godspeed!

I read a review that stated "These guys are a very sleazy outfit". That is my takeaway as well after dealing with them. I made a hotel reservation on 11/15/23 at 10:24 AM. I then canceled the reservation on 11/15/23 at 10:30 AM after finding that the rate was cheaper when calling the hotel directly.
I'm not able to cancel the reservation within 6 minutes of making it?
I recommend avoiding these guys.
You will definitely NOT be saving money by using them.
You also run the risk of being ripped off.

I booked a room thinking I was dealing with the Hawthorne Suites direct. Not. I paid then realized 1/2 later that we had already booked the hotel a month ago, Called to cancel. No refund. Scam scam scam. Beware. You may think you are dealing with your hotel, but you are not. Sneaky business.

I made a series of a couple reservations to evade tax recapture and I cancelled in the time alotted. How do I rectify this since phone conversations are NOT encouraged with this service. Also the reservation did not disclose a $12 a night per pet charge. Why has Howard Johnson not receive my payment made to you folks?

Reason I chose this business:

Unknowingly ended up with getaroom when apparently ending up with Priceline? Cancelations were made prior to 3/2/2024 deadline. Call me to fix this at *******151? Bernard Farrell.
