Room was ok, not great

Room was ok, not great. 50.00 deposit in case of room damage!

Good evening, Joe.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us.

We appreciate your honest review and are glad to hear that your experience was satisfactory, though we understand that the room did not fully meet your expectations.

We strive to provide a variety of accommodations that cater to different preferences and budgets, and we regret that the room you stayed in fell short of being great. Your insights are invaluable, and we will certainly take them into consideration as we work to improve our offerings.

Regarding the $50 deposit for potential room damage, this is a common policy implemented by many hotels to ensure that properties are maintained for future guests. We understand that such charges can be unexpected, and we appreciate your understanding of their necessity.

If you have any further concerns or suggestions on how we could enhance your experience, please feel free to reach out to us at hotels@travelup.com. We value your feedback and are committed to ensuring that your future stays are more enjoyable.

Thank you for choosing TravelUp, and we hope to assist you with your future travel plans!

Extra super Bad, when I got to the hotel the reservation was cancelled. At the hotel front desk personel reinstate the reservation, but no breakfast was included in the reservation as it should be as per original reservation. I am not satisfied with all this. I believe that a refund should be done. Awfull experience. Wouldn't recommend.

Good afternoon, David.

Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we sincerely apologise for the inconvenience and frustration you experienced with your hotel reservation.

We understand how upsetting it must have been to arrive at your hotel only to find your reservation had been cancelled, and then to discover that breakfast, which was part of your original booking, was not included.

After thoroughly checking our records, we can confirm that your reservation was successfully confirmed on our end, and no cancellation was reported by our supplier. We understand this does not change the experience you had, and we truly regret the stress this caused during your stay.

Our hotels team escalated this case as soon as we were informed of the issue, and we are currently awaiting an update from the supplier to fully understand what went wrong. Please rest assured that we are committed to resolving this for you as quickly as possible, and we will be in touch with you as soon as we receive more information.

Once again, we apologise for this awful experience and appreciate your patience while we work to make things right.

Kind regards,
TravelUp.

Good afternoon, Peter.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, and we sincerely apologise for the frustration you faced regarding your booking.

We understand how upsetting it can be to accidentally select the wrong date and then feel stuck with the consequences.

After reviewing our records, we can confirm that your reservation was fully confirmed by the time you contacted us. Unfortunately, as clearly outlined in our terms and conditions, confirmed reservations are non-refundable. We truly empathise with your situation and understand that mistakes happen, but once the reservation is confirmed, the payment is submitted to the supplier, making it impossible for us to process a refund.

We regret that we are unable to accommodate your request in this instance, but we appreciate your understanding of our policies. If you have any further questions or need assistance with future bookings, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Thank you for your understanding, and we wish you all the best.

Kind regards,
TravelUp.

Good afternoon, Olmo.

Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we sincerely apologise for the distress and frustration you have experienced with your reservation.

We understand how concerning it is to be uncertain about your booking, especially when preparing for your trip.

We want to clarify that, as stated in our terms and conditions, it can sometimes take up to 72 hours to confirm a reservation. We see that your reservation was indeed processed, and it is now confirmed. Our hotels team representative has provided a confirmation number, which you can use to check directly with the hotel.

If you have any further questions or require additional assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at hotels@travelup.com. We’re here to help and ensure that your experience improves.

Good afternoon, Matthew.

Thank you for your feedback, and we sincerely apologise for the frustration you've experienced regarding your hotel reservation.

We completely understand how distressing it must be to wait for confirmation only to find that your booking is not on the hotel’s records.

As outlined in our terms and conditions, it can sometimes take up to 72 hours to confirm a reservation. We regret that this was not made clearer during your booking process. Additionally, we are currently experiencing a high volume of calls, which may have contributed to the difficulty you encountered in reaching our call center. We apologise for any inconvenience this has caused.

To assist you more efficiently, we encourage you to email us at hotels@travelup.com. Our team will prioritise your inquiry and work to resolve this issue as quickly as possible.

Thank you for your understanding, and we appreciate your patience as we work to make things right.

Good afternoon, Miguel.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us.

We sincerely apologise for the frustration you’ve encountered regarding our non-refundable policy. We understand how disappointing it can be when expectations do not align with the information provided.

We want to clarify that our website includes clear details about reservation policies, including non-refundable terms, directly on the page showing price breakdowns. Additionally, this policy is reiterated in the booking confirmation email that you received after your reservation was made.

While we strive for transparency, we recognise that important information can sometimes be overlooked. Your feedback is invaluable, and we will continue to improve our communication to ensure all policies are clearly understood.

If you have further questions or require assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our customer service team directly. We’re here to help and hope to resolve any concerns you may have.

Thank you for your understanding.

Your cancelation policy is ridiculous and I will never use your services again. I would have been better if reserving my room through the hotel directly. Lesson learned.

Steve M. TravelUp Rep
11 months ago

Good afternoon, Kristi.

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us.

We sincerely apologise for the frustration and inconvenience you've experienced regarding our cancellation policy, and we truly empathise with your situation. We understand that unexpected changes in plans can be challenging, especially when they occur last minute.

We want to clarify that the terms and conditions, including the cancellation policy, are set by the property itself. In this case, the deadline for cancellation was missed, and according to the property's terms, this made the reservation non-refundable. Unfortunately, even if you had booked directly with the hotel, the result would have been the same due to these policies.

We genuinely wish we could have offered a different outcome, but we are bound by the conditions set by the property. Should you need further assistance or have any questions, please feel free to contact us directly.

We hope you will consider giving us another chance in the future.

Kind regards,
TravelUp
