I booked a room through this joke of a company and when I got to the hotel, they were without power and the room was at least 85 degrees. I have a heart condition and heat brings my blood pressure up and I had to sleep in my car with the AC on. They refused to give me a refund because the hotel wouldn't give them a refund. So they don't care about their clients! They care about their money. I'm a gold member as well. And the person I spoke with could barely speak English! This is our world today! Going to crap quickly. Nice work Priceline! You just lost a loyal, longtime customer! Never again you suck!
I hate to lose money. I hate to be lied to, but most of all, I despise being played for a fool.
You can expect all 3 of the above services from Priceline.
Then, after they have clearly done all 3 of these things, and you've submitted your paperwork to dispute it, they send back their non-cancellation policy ( that you were never shown or told of), and win the dispute.
There is a reason that an American company, would have all of its corporate offices in another country.
Try to sue them and you have to go there!
Worst company ever
Worst booking experience ever. They got my email address wrong resulting in not being able to get a copy of my receipt. They have NO customer service skills AT ALL! Everything automated, only way to contact them is Text Chat about a problem. After an hour of very, very slow text responses they claim to not be able to find where I even reserved the room. (Which I had already stayed in)...guess if I never made the reservation I shouldnt be charged huh?
DO NOT USE, very unprofessional and unorganized
(Sorry Capt Kirk)
On the particular hotel website via their express deal it has the rating as a 3 star but I paid for a 3.5 star. The hotel is old and outdated and It was not listed as one of the hotels you could get when selecting that deal. The dusty hotel will make my bronchitis reoccur and this will be a very uncomfortable stay. The employees were rude when handling my case and I will not use them again.
I am truly disappointed and I shall post this with the screenshots on social media.
Thanks for not helping!
They are not willing to return my money for a hotel room even after I showed them the proof of written note from doctor that my husband is sick. They give lame excuses that they can't trust written note from a doctor and they need to talk to hotel representative to confirm. In past 400 hours they haven't been able to contact hotel and keep giving lame excuses. I will not recommend them to anyone.
Have had to cancel recent vacation plans due to COVID 19. Every business we dealt with offered full refunds, or vouchers for the flights. Priceline is the only business that did not offer a refund, for a rental car, which we paid for months in advance. They could have had a customer for life, but chose to keep the money. I will never be using this service again.
Booked a hotel about a month in advance through priceline. When I went to check in, the hotel did not have my reservation. I tried to call priceline multiple times, each time I was put on a 40 minute call back wait list. After 2 hours of trying to get ahold of them I had to purchase a room. So, I ended up paying for two rooms and only got one. Still havent been able to get ahold of priceline. Will never use again.
Left stranded because they said they booked my room, but didn't. Same thing happed when they attempted to fix issue. On hold for four hours driving around because I had no room. Customer service rude and could not careless. DO NOT USE.
When ever you see an advertisement for Priceline don't click on it. Hotel rates are always wrong. Rates are too low and when you try to book that particular hotel they charge you a higher rate. Hotel is loosing business because customers are going to the hotel will the lowest rate. This is unacceptable and should be fixed but whenever the staff calls or emails Priceline they are given some BS. Try another site or just use the hotel's website instead of these 3rd party sites. Hotel sites have the same rates and are not false advertising the rates
I feel like I was tricked into a cheaper booking in an area nowhere near where I wanted to be. I am out of pocket for $200 on a nonrefundable room that I cannot use. Will never booked through Priceline again. Sketchy.
I look to these types of sites for flight deals and they always fall short. I find it is much cheaper to go to the airline site itself because many of these sites, once you sign up, bombard you with car rentals, hotel deals, etc. It annoys me when I specify flight deals only. So, I don't refer to them anymore.
I booked a trip on checkout the dates were correct. When my reservation came by email. The dates were off one day. When I called they refused to fix refused to help in any way. Horrible company horrible service now my whole trip is messed up. Horrible.
This is the worse company for customer service. Booked a room, one week later needed to cancel. They had one and half months to rebook. There was no way room would not rent out again. They said go ahead cancel but we cannot give you anything back, no credit for another room, nothing.
I made a reservation for a hotel on Priceline, selected to pay on check-in and change my reservation. They charged me the day before my credit card statement was due without my knowledge incurring interest fees, told me they didn't have proof of my selection and therefore would not fix the problem and that I would have to call the hotel. Upon calling the hotel I found out my reservation was unchangeable on top of charging me pretty much right away. So I am out an extra $50, half my party has nowhere to stay for the event we are going to and will probably have to pay even more money for Priceline's theft. The entire time I dealt with customer service they tried to get me to get off the phone and said it wasn't their fault they screwed up my plans that have been made months in advance. It is cheaper, and way more efficient to shoot yourself in the head than deal with this crap company.
Priceline. False advertising. Claim all reservations are "fully paid and guaranteed". Customer pays for reservations. So yes, reservation is fully paid. But when an extenuating circumstance occurs they DO NOT fully guarantee the fully paid reservation.
Customer care does absolutely nothing for you. The service charge is a huge expense. You would expect some understanding some " customer care". However after booking you are flooded with " No refund" messages. The messages were a surprise to me. Maybe because in large print on the website they focus on " FULLY PAID is FULLY GUARANTEED "
Stay away. Call the hotel directly. Then you will get your " reservation fully guaranteed"
BEWARE BEWARE Priceline has a policy of no refunds or changes. They do not care what the circumstances are. Their so called customer service ( which is no customer service) just repeats this policy and will do nothing to help you. Better to pay a little more than deal with this company. Rip off.
We had an awful experience trying to do seat selections and print out boarding passes ahead of time with our airline tickets purchased through Priceline. Even the airline at the airport said that the tickets were messed up and had to re-issue them due to Priceline errors. In trying to select seats and print boarding passes, we tried different servers, different computers, called the airline to assist, called Priceline to assist. Each had no answers for us other than Priceline later said many times their tickets are unable to do anything ahead of time online. We won't use Priceline again for purchasing airline tickets.
I've been on hold for 57 minutes, for the second time today. No answer. My event was cancelled due to Coronavirus and attempting to cancel. I understand that this is the case for a lot of people, but no back up plan?! I'm in healthcare so I understand the impact, but this is horrible! I'll probably be charged because I can't sit on hold all day. Talk about taking advantage!
I booked a reservation at the Midtown convention center hotel in NYC on Priceline for this weekend (had to come into town for a trauma course)
The pictures show that clearly this hotel is in disarray and in fact not open. Silly me for just assuming that it would be.
I spoke with two Priceline representatives, including a supervisor, who refused to rebook us in another hotel. They said the hotel was closed for Covid and expected to reopen 8/1/21, which is laughable. I explained that a site credit should be provided given the hotel I did rebook is costing 400$ more. I was offered an offensive 5% discount off an Express deal only.
Be aware that Priceline does not check the status of the hotels and further investigation may need to take place before assuming the hotel is available. Better yet, avoid Priceline altogether.
I design websites for a living and this was an awful user experience. They failed to copy the correct dropoff time to the hertz partner site and then refused to remedy their error. Instead, they fousted this passive aggressive powerless user service rep on me who proceeded to offer they cancel my reservation for ONLY $45 dollars. Bye priceline.
Answer: The agreed to price is inclusive. I would look at dollar's website before renting from Priceline. There is no layer of protection from prcln.
Answer: With Price Line you may pay a reduced price. However, you get reduced services. Be prepared for hidden costs from the merchant as their ads on Price Line do not include their entire policy.
Answer: I'm not sure what you mean by "receive" the e-ticket. I've booked numerous times through priceline and other intermediaries, but have never received a ticket. I would suggest that you look at the itinerary that you've received from priceline and look for the Airline Confirmation Number (which may be a sequence of letters and or numbers depending on the airline). Then go to the airline's website and look up your flight itinerary. This process also varies by airline, but there should be some menu such as "My Trips" or other itinerary look up option. The airline should be able to find your itinerary based on your name and confirmation number. If your priceline itinerary contains an e-ticket number, you may be able to use that on the airline's website as well. If the airline has your itinerary, you're good to go. You'll be able to check in and get a boarding pass (electronic or print) 24 hours prior to your flight. If the airline has no record of you, then you've got a problem.
The overall reputation of the company reveals significant dissatisfaction among customers, primarily due to issues with booking accuracy, hidden fees, and inadequate customer service. Many reviews highlight frustrations with non-refundable reservations and uncommunicated changes, leading to feelings of being misled. While some customers appreciated the initial pricing, the subsequent hidden costs and lack of support during disputes overshadowed these positives. A recurring sentiment is a lack of accountability from the company, prompting numerous customers to vow never to use the service again. This feedback indicates a critical need for improved transparency and customer support practices.
