Despite receiving a confirmation email that said I was guaranteed a room, we ended up travelling to Battle Creek to sleep since the GM at this place was crazy and threw us out.
Despite a response from Karen, I am still left with a bad taste in my mouth from this "company." I will never use this service again and I encourage the same from everyone else.
This is a horrible company. I thought I was booking with The Kimpton Canary directly but ended up at this third party company. I booked and cancelled within 20 minutes after seeing the added fees of over $260 that they did not disclose. I called getaroom.com and they told me that the other hotel does not allow cancellations. They are liars. The hotels site allowed cancellations until 3 days before the reservation. The getaroom representative, told me that She could offer 10% off the fees which I refused and said I would dispute the charge with my credit card. I am out $659 for the room. I was told nothing can be done. This company is a SCAM! Do not ever book with them! I filed a complaint with the BBB and my credit card company. I demand a refund.

This is a fraud company. They bill you but without any booking and without any hotel room. They billed my Australian account and I didn't book anything. I don't use that card to book hotels.
Stay away they are frauds
Your agent that the reservation being considered at SLS Los Vegas was cancellable until Apr. 8 without charge. The confirmation received indicated that the reservation was non-refundable. I made a note when she made the misrepresentation on the phone. When I phoned you another agent said there was nothing she could do except pay me 10% which is your fee to the hotel. Misrepresentations are inexcuseable.
As I see many others thought they were on the hotel website and it was actually a third party. They charged me $150 more for the same room I could book on another site. I never book rooms that are non refundable but this one charged me and they are now saying it is nonrefundable. AVOID at all costs!
Should have checked her before booking with getaroom. What a rip off. Thought I was getting a great deal for south beach hotel but when I checked out the price the hotel had was $70 cheaper than getaroom. Buyer beware!
When I originally booked I could not understand anything the person was saying because he had a heavy accent. When you book through them they charge you a cancellation fee. When I called to question they are so rude and when I asked for a supervisor they said no. She put me on hold without telling me and I think she wanted me to hang up. When she got back I told her how rude that was and she continued to do it. When I asked her name she said no and then said Reg which is probably a lie. I will never use them again.
Very easy to follow directions and accessible. Pricing was good, hope the hotel experience will be as good as on line reservations. Hope we really enjoy Helen in Winter and plan to go back in summer time.
The staff member was kind, courteous, and professional. I was able to book a room within a few minutes and she made sure everything was correct. Very good experience for me and I highly recommend this service.
Hi Lee,
Thank you for the great feedback. We appreciate it!
Sincerely,
Getaroom
I thought I was making reservations through TravelAdvisor when it took me to Getaroom's website to make the reservation. No problem in booking the rooms, but I was surprised to find that they charged my credit card immediately! You need to read the fine print. The reservation was made one month prior to our stay, so maybe that's what makes the difference. There was no problem--we called our hotel directly the night before we were to arrive and they gave us confirmation #'s that our two rooms were booked already. I was initially quite upset when I read the reviews, thinking we had lost our money. I am happy I called the hotel which negated the upsetting reviews I had just read. Thank you Getaroom for not letting me down and for making my hotel reservations!
We had to cancel the reservation (two full days in advance) due to family issues and when I tried to call directly, the line kept hanging up. There was no warning that I was going to lose the entire $166 (I called the hotel and I don't think they're getting anything).
I called customer service and asked if they could at least reinstate the room and they said no, they were not able to do that either. I asked for a supervisor repeatedly and was told there was no supervisor available.
The kicker was that the booking clearly stated there was free cancellation and that was an absolute lie.
Do not under any circumstances use getaroom.com for any bookings.
Between being treated the same by bookings.com and now getaroom.com I will never use an online reservation system again and will call all hotels directly to make a reservation. In the end at least I won't be losing any money.

I had no idea when booking it was with a third party. It appeared as though it was the actual hotels website. Our event decided to cancel so I went to cancel our reservation to be told we are out 331.00! No offer of a partial refund or credit for when the event rescheduled. Worst customer service. Got hung up on twice when I requested Politely I may add for a manager. Third call the manager refused to even answer the phone when I want to wait to actually speak to them unless I give the rep my reservation number. The whole reason I don't give it is because I get hung up on
I called to book 2 rooms with double beds at the last minute as I was arriving at the train station. I thought I was calling the hotel directly, but I got connected to these scammers. The man said that they had 2 rooms with double beds and took my credit card info and he said "actually, we only have one room with a double bed, so the other one will be a twin." I told him to cancel it because that isn't what I asked for or paid for. I booked another hotel down the street. They charged me for the two rooms and when I called and filed a complaint they basically said "too bad." AMEX is dealing with it.

Booked a room with this business thinking it was direct to the property; learned the hard way it wasn't. Called to reschedule due to a medical emergency, no help after 2 hours and multiple phone calls. Stay away!
I thought I was booking through the hotel website and instead received my email notification from getaroom.com with my confirmations and $200 in "service charges and fees attached". Thy refuse to refund or price match the actual hotel site they apparently rerouted me from. Filing dispute with my credit card company
I purchased a double queen but were only given a single queen room. My confirmation explicitly stated double queen, which is what I paid for, but the manager stated that GetARoom only paid them form a single queen room. GetARoom and the hotel both just sat there pointing fingers at each other. This is dishonest and close to fraud on your part! I'll never use your system again!
Horrible experience, they did not provide the room that was on the reservation, they overcharged and then flat out lied telling me the cancellation policy was the hotels not theirs! Thankfully I contacted the hotel prior to my trip and the hotel made it right not getaroom.com! Book anywhere else!
I reserved a room and immediately started receiving dozens of junk mail. These are not the type of junk mails that you can "unsubsribe" from, apparently, because they come from suspicious senders so that it can avoid the spam filter. Nasty. Wish I'd of known.
My experience with GetARoom was quick and easy peasy lemon squeezy! Thank you! I definitely will share this goodness with family and friends and look forward to utilizing GetARoom again anytime the need arises.
This was my 1st experience with GetARoom, I had some mixups and after contacting them, the issues were resolved. I had a followup personal phone call and they wanted to make sure I was completely satisfied and they would be issuing a refund. Customer Rep. Who contacted me was very helpful.
Lynda, We do apologize for this experience. A Customer Service Resolutions Specialist will review your case and reach out to you. Our goal with your Sitejabber review is to promptly work for your satisfaction resulting in your improving the star rating. Thank you. Getaroom.
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.
