The company demonstrates a mixed reputation, with notable strengths in the ease of the booking process and competitive pricing, which many customers found straightforward and efficient. However, significant concerns arise around customer service, particularly regarding unresponsive support, issues with reservation confirmations, and difficulties in modifying bookings.

When I tried to book directly with the hotel, there were no rooms available! However later I saw that TravelUp still had access to rooms at the hotel, and at an attractive price, so I booked with them. They also responded quickly to a quesiton I had about the booking.
Booked a hotel in EASTERN Switzerland - got a confirmation for a totally DIFFERENT hotel in Central Switzerland
Contacted the booked hotel: they confirmed NEVER received a booking from travelup
Totally UNRELIABLE (travelup even wanted to charge FEES for THEIR mistakes!)
Completely dissatisfied as I have been billed in US Dollars. As a Canadian I was of the understanding I was billed in Canadian Dollars. Not sure if this was a mistake on the part of TravelUp or just another SCAM! I have contacted my bank to dispute this transaction. The price posted on Trivago was in Canadian Funds yet I was billed in US funds. A big difference. Hopefully this has been a mistake by TravelUp. I have sent a complaint to TravelUp. Awaiting a response.
I booked a 4 night stay at Seis Playas Hotel, Guanacaste, Costa Rica from Feb 2,2026 to Feb 6,2026 via TravelUp.com. I was directed to your site from the travel site" Trivago." Trivago had listed the total price including taxes to be $360.59 Canadian Dollars. I received a receipt from TravelUp for $360.59 and was of the understanding that these funds were in Canadian Dollars. On checking my bank details, I find to my dismay that I have been charged in US Dollars. I know for a fact that I was of the understanding that the cost was given in Canadian funds, otherwise i would not have booked through your site. At no point did it say, during the booking process that I was being charged in US funds. The charge in Canadian funds was $522.40, when I could have booked via Expedia or booking.com for between $411 and $447. A difference of over $100 Canadian. This booking is a non-refundable booking, however I am completely dismayed that I have been charged in US funds. As a Canadian, I was lead to believe that the charges would be in Canadian funds, as was shown initially. Perhaps an error has been made on your part. I would ask that you respond to my issue in a timely manner. Gerard Docherty

The booking experience was very deceiving as I was booking a weekend at Holiday Inn Express in Brunswick, NJ which was non refundable. After I paid and confirmed the booking, the confirmation now says I booked at Comfort Inn Suites using the exact same address. I double checked the address and they were exactly the same. Arriving at the hotel,( Comfort Inn) the room was smelling and had roaches. Changed rooms and sheets weren't changed. This experience has been horrible and I wouldn't recommend booking through a 3rd party and never will again as well as never staying at a Comfort Inn Suites again.

The experience left me feeling powerless, as the response from the company was essentially "take it or leave it." If anyone has advice on whether this can be escalated, I'd be grateful.
It has been 9 days since I did reservations. I called the hotel and they do not show in their system. I am now thinking I got scammed by you. I will be doing a chargeback soon if you cannot prove I'm booked..
Good afternoon, Lisa.

Why they just not send the vouchers or coordinate with hotel. This is not worth it
I am frustrated with this communication type
It is Awfully bad

We arrived at our hotel and the fee we had paid to your company had not been transferred to the hotel where our reservation was made. We could not check in and had to wait an hour to check in until the situation was finally resolved. The representatives told us that they had recently encountered the same problem with your company - the failure to fund the hotel where your customer was staying!
Good afternoon, Teresa.
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us.
We are truly sorry to hear about the inconvenience you experienced upon arrival at your hotel. At TravelUp, our goal is to provide every customer with a seamless and stress-free travel experience, and it’s unfortunate that this was not the case for you.
We completely understand how frustrating it must have been to wait for an hour before being able to check in, especially after a long journey. Please accept our sincere apologies for the disruption this caused to your plans.
Regarding the fee you mentioned, if this was a resort fee, please note that such charges are not included in the booking price and must be paid directly at the property. This information is clearly displayed on the booking page and in the final price breakdown before confirmation. However, if this relates to any other fee or payment, we kindly request that you email us at hotels@travelup.com with your booking details. We would like to investigate this matter further and ensure that everything is resolved promptly.
Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we will review this incident internally to prevent similar situations in the future. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

I booked a motel room, went to the motel and they informed me that the 3rd party that booked the room, their virtual credit card was denied twice so the motel didn't even know if I was showing up. I ended up paying the motel directly on location and then TravelUp also charged my credit card the original booking cost, so I've been charged double the money for that same booking and it's been multiple days of dealing with TravelUp to refund my money and 5 days later, still no answer.
Good afternoon, Coby.

We have checked our records and could not find any conversation or email from the registered email address associated with your booking. However, we can confirm that your case has been raised with our supplier, and we are currently awaiting their intervention to process the refund. As soon as we receive a response from them, we will update you immediately.
We kindly request your patience while we work to resolve this matter. Your feedback is very important to us, and we will continue to monitor this closely until it is fully resolved.
Thank you for your understanding.

The stay was amazing. Check-in was very smooth, but make sure you print any paperwork they ask for ahead of time to make the process even easier. I was a little nervous at first, but I'd definitely book again.

I'm writing this from Hanoi airport because TravelUp misbooked my return flight despite issuing me an e-ticket with the correct dates and confirming by email that everything was "in line."
When I tried to check in, I was told TravelUp had actually booked my return flight for the day I arrived. I've emailed them three times today. No reply. Their emergency number doesn't answer. They promised a callback before 10am UK time — it's now after 12pm and nobody has called.
Even before this, they failed to confirm my outbound flights until 3–4 days into my holiday, and I had to get China Eastern to confirm the booking instead.
I've now had to pay for a last-minute flight home myself because TravelUp have left me stranded. Completely unacceptable.
Making my hotel reservation with TRAVELUP was easy from start to finish. Each step in the process was easy to follow and I was confident that I booked the exact room I was looking for.
Good - small issue with adding the guess originally input added child of 5yrs old, was not included in the 1st billing invoice, however was able to add on later and pay. Thank you
On the travel voucher it states that our names may only be provided to the hotel a few days before our stay. I have requested confirmation that the hotel has our names now as I wish to book spa services ahead of time. I'm currently awaiting a response and requested confirmation

I'm not normally one to complain but I've been really disappointed with TravelUp. I've had to restate my request over and over again, often with replies that have nothing to do with what I asked. For example, after confirming which flight and date I wanted to amend very clearly, I received information about a completely different flight on a completely different date (which had already passed). Another example, my most recent email that I received was addressed to a completely random name that has never been mentioned before.
We were also quoted nearly £600 to change a flight of which we were given one option, when looking ourselves, there were multiple options with the airline that were under £300.
Overall Francis has been terrible, clearly not actually reading the emails we send and dragging out a conversation that could have been resolved in one or two emails.
We're at the point of being willing to lose out on our money and book another flight ourselves that actually works for us as TravelUp has been wildly unhelpful.
Good morning, Beth.

I accidentally made my reservation for the wrong day. I booked for the 13th instead of the 12th accidentally. I was not given the opportunity to change it. Very dissatisfied with my experience. Now I have to book hotel somewhere else and I lost my money for the stay I mistakenly made. Very poor customer service. I will always give negative feedback about your customer service.
Good morning, Mario.
Thank you for sharing your feedback.
We are truly sorry to hear about the difficulties you experienced and completely understand how stressful it must have been to realize your reservation was booked for the wrong day. Please accept our sincerest apologies for the inconvenience and frustration caused.
At TravelUp, we always aim to provide our customers with a seamless and smooth booking experience, and incidents like this are certainly unfortunate. We fully understand the disappointment of losing out on your stay due to an accidental booking.
However, we must inform you that, as per the property’s policy, reservations are non-changeable and non-refundable once confirmed. We are required to adhere to these rules, and unfortunately, this means we were unable to make any amendments or issue a refund for your booking.
We completely empathize with the stress this situation has caused and truly regret that we could not provide a more favorable outcome. Your feedback is important to us, and we will continue to work on ways to make our booking process clearer to help prevent similar situations in the future.
Kind regards,
TravelUp
