Priceline Reviews Summary

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.

Why are you destroying your credibility by advertising one price and then trying to sneak in a "Mandatory Hotel Fee" during checkout? If mandatory, then put it up front. Disgusting practice. Bye bye Priceline.

I book a hotel in Georgetown Texas I was only given the opportunity for two different hotels a 2 star and a two and a half star and both were compared to a Best Western or a Comfort Inn the hotel that they gave me is probably not even on the star grid it's more like a motel the reviews are horrible and not comparable to the hotels that Priceline compared them to! Lies, lies, lies! When I contacted Priceline and had a chat with one of their employees of course their response was you chose that it is not reimbursable or cannot be changed which I expected to hear

BAD customer service!
December 28, 2016

DO NOT BOOK ON PRICELINE! They do not stand by their customer service at all! The airline we booked on changed their flight schedule and let Priceline know about the change in time, but Princeline never notified us until 2 HOURS AFTER the flight had already departed. Priceline would not accept any responsibility for this problem! The airline we booked with refunded the whole ticket price, but Priceline still would not do anything to try to rectify the situation. They put the blame on the airline. We will NEVER use Priceline again!

Booked a hotel through name your own price. Big mistake. Asked for a three star hotel near the Rome, Italy airport and they gave me a dump ELEVEN miles away. Do you know how long in Rome it can take to go 11 Miles... Told Priceline this was unacceptable but they wouldn't back down. I'm out $126 but hey lession learned and will never use them again for anything. Their reps hate their jobs and sound uneducated

Okay, but $USD
December 14, 2016

I've used the site in the past but don't visit there much lately. One negative, as a Canadian, is the prices are in US dollars. The exchange rate fluctuates and this can be a nuisance.

I have had some good deals on hotels frome priceline but i have on occasion found better deals on other sites. The name your own price tool is great. Make sure you start really low and work your way up you will be pleasantly surprised.

Price line never agin
December 2, 2016

Priceline's automated answering service would not put me in contact with a person. I had to go through the online chat three different times in order to be connected with a representative. I talked to about 6 different Priceline employees, two of which claimed to be 'supervisors.' No one offered concrete solutions to my trip cancellation problem. They charged me $600 without providing any refund, credit, or even reinstating my ticket. I will not be purchasing from Priceline again and I will adamantly advise my friends and family to stay away from Priceline services.

Horrible experience from the beginning. Useless, rude people.

They screwed my flight. Then they put me onto the airline, who promised a full refund, then they said I had to back to them, they say I have to go to the airline. Honestly, these people are not only idiots, they are arseholes as well.

Do not use PRICELINE
November 21, 2016

Booked a hotel room through priceline for a family event we were attending. Paid a nice premium for the room, but it was in the area of the hotel we wished to be in for our family event. When we arrived at the hotel and checked into our room, it was not even in the vicinity of where we were supposed to be. When I asked to front desk worker at the hotel I was told "with third parties like Priceline you get the cheapest room, and they never end up being the room you thought you were getting, you are going to have to talk with Priceline". The room we paid for was in the kid zone on the first floor, what we got was a third floor room, on the opposite side of the hotel. To make our stay even better, we were charged twice for the room. I contacted Priceline to get this resolved and they were not helpful, even thought they were able to verify that I was given the wrong room they did nothing but offer me a 20% refund (this is what I should have paid for the room I received in the first place) and told they were sorry for the mistake. I ended up having to contact the hotel for being charged twice as priceline was "unable " to help with that either. They even tried to blame it on the hotel for the room mess up, I feel PRICELINE has misleading information on the website and after reading countless reviews from disappointed customers I will never use them again.

Priceline does not state clearly of the hidden cost airlines will charge you. When you contact Priceline, they tell you to read all the fine print in the terms and conditions. But, even in the terms and conditions, the hidden costs are not stated clearly. Getting a better deal quickly became a bad deal at the end.

Great Travel Helper
November 18, 2016

I like to have all my travel plans - flight, hotel and car all laid out in one sitting and be done. Priceline is simple, reasonable and not a bunch of hidden fees.

Horrible
November 16, 2016

I will never go through Priceline again for anything ever! They have got to have the worst customer service of any company today! They are rude and just plain dishonest. If anything should go wrong with your reservation, don't plan on getting any help from them. They will give you the run around and talk in circles until you give up, and if you don't they will finally tell you, there's nothing they can do.

Rip off
October 12, 2016

Reviewed their price on rental cars, I entered my information but did not rent the car. I got my credit card statement today and was charged for the car I did not rent. I called price line, they said they do not refund charges. Do not use Priceline. Go direct to the airline or car rental, their prices are always better and so is their customer service.

We reserved a two night stay through Priceline.com. Their rating was a 6.5. We had a late arrival and got our room. When we went in there was no bedspread, the sheets were either stained or dirty, even though there was a kitchenette there were no kitchen items, ie: coffee pot, cups, etc. When we call room service they told us they would take care of the sheets, bedspread and coffee pot. We went to dinner and upon arrival at 11:30pm the sheets had not been changed, the bedspread, which had a hole in it, was thrown on the bed in a bundle/ They did bring pots, pans, dishes, etc, but no coffee pot. There were, however 3 pillow cases on the table (we had 4 pillows). We also had picked up milk for our morning coffee and realized the refrigerator was off when we put it in. We called room service again and were told they did change the sheets, to which I replied, no you didn't because the same sheets with the same stains were still on the bed. She said she was sorry, they had NO clean sheets, but would ask to see if she could have some washed and would bring them up along with the coffee pot asap. An hour later we still had not received anything. I ended up sleeping on top of the sheets fearing they were dirty. I did not get a good nights sleep. No one ever showed up with clean sheets or a coffee pot. We called the next morning and were told how sorry they were this happened and they would wash out a coffee pot asap and bring it up. No one came so we went to the office. The front desk apologized about the sheets and handed us our coffee pot along with a clean fitted sheet for us to put on the bed. We got coffee and a muffin from the lobby. Luckily we had taken our showers. While I was finishing getting ready the water turned off. I called the front desk and was told Sorry about that. We have an emergency plumbing problem and it will be on in 30 minutes. The next morning when we made our coffee, it tasted horrible because of the water. I also want to mention that we were given only 1 wash cloth for 2 people for 2 nights, the carpet was dirty and the room smelled from the deodorizer they attached to the air conditioner. Also, the people who lived there were pretty creepy. They would go outside in the parking lot and meet to smoke cigarettes throughout the day. This was a horrible experience! DO NOT STAY HERE!
