TravelUp Reviews Summary

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. Instances of billing discrepancies and perceived bait-and-switch tactics have contributed to a growing sentiment of frustration among users. While some customers report positive interactions with staff, the overall trend indicates a need for improved communication and reliability to enhance customer trust and satisfaction.

This was the worst
November 18, 2023

This was the worst. No hotel service has ever taken my money and charged me until I arrive. They just hold the card number until arrival. The people were so mean and talked so mean. I will never use them and I am going to report them to kayak and tell all my friends to never use them.

I have booked ticket ref4D99LP at dated 29/04/2023 at travel up through kayek application. Route was Man to lhe and lhe to man.
Our return flight was at 2240 08-june-2023 from lahore to doha then to manchester. So we suppose to reach airport 2 hrs prior to airport.
Once we reach at airport we surprise to know that the flight time change to 2115.
We never see any email notification from travel up about the flight change.
Once i called them and the guy was badly behave and he told me that we sent you email. I have check the emails even the spam email but i never see any email notifications from them about the flight change notification.
He never make any refurn and never compensate me to alternative flight. And we suffer from traveling and then we buy new ticket and then able to travel. It was summer and we bought the new emergency quite very expenses.
They are spam and non professional team and so far thay did not pay any compensation.
I must ask kayek to blacklist this company.

I was really hesitant because I had never used this service before. However, I was really impressed and surprised at how smoothly everything went! The only surprise I had was that everything really was exactly as they said it was! My price was exactly correct (way cheaper than anywhere else), the hotel had my reservation with zero fuss, and the room I got was better than I had hoped for! I was sincerely impressed and thankful for such an easy process and for such a great room at a very good rate!

Please do not use!
November 8, 2023

I know there are many good reviews for this company.

However, mine isn't off that nature.

Unfortunately, I have fallen unwell and can no longer make my flights in January due to a newly scheduled operation.

I purchased non-refundable tickets, so understand there will be no refund.

I have tried to change my booking dates, the information they have sent out shows that it would be £250/pp to change. This is not the case and they want to charge me more than the tickets to change the dates. It would be cheaper for me to not make the flight and book new ones completely.

You work hard to book tickets to travel and something unexpected comes along. There doesn't seem to be any escape from the unfortunate and Travel Up don't seem to want to make it any better.

Please avoid in general. Trying to get through to them on the phone has been extremely difficult.

Good morning Sam,

Thank you for highlighting this to our knowledge and we profusely apologies for the inconvenience caused.

Unfortunately, the ticket is non-refundable once issued as stated in the fare rule governed by the respective airline. Hence the only option is to claim the unused airport taxes, if applicable.

This is our continuous attempt to honor you with the changes or amendments in the booking based on the fare rules and the guidelines of your booking as per the terms and conditions well read, agreed and accepted by you on our website.

While customer service is of utmost importance to us, we are obliged to follow the strict refund guidelines as stated in the terms and conditions.

Please write to us at - admin@travelup.com and share your booking reference number, for further assistance.

Regards,
TravelUp

The process of booking was somewhat easy. But the problem is after receiving the booking confirmation email, on which there's a link to "My Bookings" and when I click there, I cannot find my booking. Not even re-filling all fields on the form.
And that worries me if there's indeed a booking made with the hotel I chose.

It didn't work the first time and this time is more expensive. I am extremely unhappy to find that booking a hotel in Canada as a Canadian citizen was billed in US dollars. There was no indication that I was being billed in US dollars. I feel I was ripped off.
