  • 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”

Kerri K.

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.

May appear the cheapest when you do a search for a specific hotel/date, but always check prices include the VAT - not an issue for businesses who can reclaim the taxes but in the UK, we are used to consumer prices being quoted as including 20% VAT. There may also be a "service charge" bumping the costs for the privilege of routing your money via the US. Having said that, Getaroom customer services were very responsive when we complained so that brings the rating back up

Getaroom did a very nice job of making my situation right. I had some trouble with the website and my initial attempts to get my problem solved were quite frustrating. When I reached out a second time Getaroom made sure to make my situation right and helped me straighten out my issue.

Very unhelpful. Got very basic robot-like answers.

Below issue has been resolved by customer service representative, thank you. "Getaroom charged me high service fee that I did not agree to. After receiving my booking confirmation showing the high service fee I cancelled the booking right away. However their cancellation policy does not offer partial or full refund. I contacted customer service about my situation and and have received help"

Booked a room for a friend on my card, was told repeatedly by getaroom that no card was required to check-in, just a name and reference number, not the case, my friend could not check in as they did not have a credit card so they had to go somewhere else, tried to get a refund from getaroom and they refused. Actually, they would not even connect me to a manager-"none available", complete nonsense. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!

After posting this review, the company contacted me and resolved my issue very professionally and quickly. Very good follow-up and customer service.

I booked a room in error through this website thinking it was the actual hotel chains website and when I asked if it was the case they lied and said they were. Then they did not tell me about the charges in $USD or the service fee's - no transparency. Had they been honest I would not have booked and save myself a few hundred dollars in costs that I would not have had to pay. I would not have accepted this website had they been honest so do yourself a favor and stay away from them, that is not the way to runs business.

We booked a room at the Scandic Front Hotel in Copenhagen, Denmark for three nights, August 22 - 25th, 2019. Having never been to Copenhagen nor having any familiarity with the hotel, we opted for the Free Cancellation rate, which was more expensive than the standard rate. We spent one night in the hotel. We were not happy with the room as there was a loud party going on across the street. The next morning the front desk agent accepted our check out no problem and said the booking agent would handle the refund. While it took longer than I hoped, GetARoom did refund our money for the unused nights. In the end I was satisfied with the outcome. I thank the organization for their attention to our situation.

Somewhat satisfied. Wasn't comfortable enough with clerk as to know if this reservation is through the hotel and is reputable as I had never heard of this service before. Thought I was directly dealing with hotel chain services so am somewhat leery if everything in the reservation will work out smoothly. This reservation is for my daughter & her fiancé in one room and my hubby & Me in the other room before they fly back home so want everything to be a smooth transition!

I was booking a room at Embassy suites Tampa through the website ran by GETAROOM. After picking the room and providing my payment information I clicked to book the reservation. The website said "declined" and I clicked a second time and website again said declined. Knowing I had entered my information correctly and having plenty of money to pay for the reservation I then figured there was some computer glitch with the website.
Needing to make the reservation I then found another website and booked the room at the Embassy Suites. I immediately received confirmation email of that booking.
The next day there was an email from GETAROOM confirming the original attempt to book the room and my debit card had been charged. Given I had prior confirmation from the other site I contacted GETAROOM customer service and originally spoke to a lady who listened to the story and told me I could not be refunded. I then wrote on Sitejabber about the problem and expressed my dismay with the situation. I have to say that Customer Service from GETAROOM promptly contacted me and resolved the dispute by refunding my payment.
I was really impressed with the response and resolution to my inquiry by their customer service team. Given this response I will not be hesitant to use GETAROOM for my future booking needs.

My elderly mother booked a room through Getaroom.com but then physically cancelled her reservation at the hotel where she was going to stay. She received a cancellation number and was informed everything was taken care of. She was later billed because she was unaware that she still needed to contact Getaroom.com. After working with Getaroom.com, they refunded her credit card. I'm so happy with their prompt attention to this matter.
