We monitor reviews for authenticity
They pretend to be a hotel website, with logos, etc. exactly where the regular logos are.
They then sneak a $250 "processing" fee on top of your normal room charges. They charge your credit card immediately. If you attempt to cancel, they will cancel the reservation - but they DO NOT credit your money! They claim they have a "no cancelation" policy for the fee!
IT IS 100% a scam!
Didn't intent to use this third-party website, but a deceptive link took me to them instead of the actual hotel website. I then attempted to book a hotel for me to attend a funeral service later in the month. Their confirmation email showed that the reservation was inadvertently made for that night (just 12 hours in the future). I was halfway around the country and clearly did not mean to do that, so I call BookOnline.com within minutes of receiving the confirmation. I request to change to the correct date. They absolutely refuse. Say I'm calling outside of the cancellation window, which is 24 hours.
I am working with my CC company to refuse payment. And I am reporting this company everywhere possible. Complete fraud. Absolutely no interest in being a reputable business. Be sure you don't accidentally click on their links when you attempt to book a hotel with them!
I booked online and was hit with a ridiculous amount of service fees. I cancelled within an hour via their online portal. I called a few days later to follow-up on my refund. They said there was nothing they could do. If you called when you cancelled, you would have received a refund. If you cancelled your reservation within 24-48 hours of my check-in (which is 6 weeks away) i would have received a refund. And because i already cancelled my reservation there is nothing they can do. They actually told me to contact my bank to dispute the charge. I've never heard such backward logic and horrible customer service. It's a complete scam i do not recommend using them.
Used Bookonline, was misrepresented as Hilton website, went to cancel, totally given run around, told
No refund and by the way the $143 room charge was billed as $193 due to fees they had to pay Hilton. Complete ripoff, lousy customer service, never use this site.
Designed to take your money and give no service. No help once you book. Awful robots don't understand. Agents in India can't even understand where you are.
Answer: SCAM. Huge Fees, no refunds. Would NOT recommend. Do yourself a favor and Pass by when you see this site.
Answer: Agreed! WHY? Absolutely the most blatantly deceptive company I have ever come across.
Answer: I'd love the answer to this! This agency fraudulently charged us $1800!
Answer: Make sure you are booking directly on the hotel's website.
Answer: I was just too tired to drive 90 minutes home. I needed to be back to this area really early in the morning, so I saved 3 hours of driving time and got a good night's sleep also!
