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.

Scam company
November 13, 2023

Scam company. Got a confirmation my flight was booked, then a few days later an email saying they couldn't book and offering 3 different flights of no use as I'd already booked train tickets. I found the same flights with travelup so I found and rebooked the same flights again with travelup at £5 extra to be told that it didn't go through either as it wasn't available (clearly was, twice). A few days later after the money cleared (surprise) I got the same email with the same wording offering 3 useless alternative options. I haven't had a refund weeks later on either payment despite their t&c and representative telling me 3-5 working day. Luckily I used a credit card to do a chargeback process but would avoid this company 100% they shouldn't be in business.

Good overall experience
October 13, 2023

Good overall experience. Great price for the hotel I chose. The online booking system froze on me several times and I had to call your help desk for assistance. The customer service rep was very difficult to understand.

I booked through Travel Up because the flights prices are where great we'll come to find out when we got to the hotel we were asked for a $300 deposit! Which was NOT stated on their website. When we called to ask for them to cancel it and a refund we got the runaround and they refused to refund us. Because we didn't have the money for the deposit we weren't able to stay at the hotel, or get our money back leaving us and our kids to sleep in our car! Horrible customer service. The leave they could do is credit us or give us a free night somewhere on them.

Canceling the booking is too difficult and having to do it only by email, which gives no immediate feedback, is horrible. I called and they would not accept the cancellation over the phone. WTF?

Went to hotel and your site wouldn't allow me to print voucher for stay. Attempted to call and number wouldn't accept calls. Hotel had no records of my confirmation. Hotel attempted to open but it wouldn't allow either. Spent 2 hours trying to figure it out. Ended up leaving hotel and going to another one and paying for it! Very upset!

I recently made a reservation with your company and to follow up I call the hotel to confirm my reservation then I was told that there is no reservation there for me. I further went on to contact your company to inquire about why the resort doesn't have my reservation only to be told by your customer service agent that I have to send an email in order to be assisted. This is by far a stressful process for me.

Price seems great
September 27, 2023

Price seems great. There is something suspicious about the booking voucher. This comment on the voucher makes me nervous: Please be advised: Your booking has been confirmed, some hotel chains hold booking information in a central system and then pass the guest names to the individual hotel a few days before arrival.

In the final price there was a surcharge over the advertised price for about $23 per night per room. I accepted it thinking that was the tax. After the payment, I was sent a voucher which says the tax is to be paid extra. When I called, they told me that the price changed in the ten minutes between the time I checked it and the time I booked. That is just bad business practice and unfair treatment.

Absolutely HORRIBLE!
October 21, 2023
Updated review

Absolutely HORRIBLE! We put our infant on the reservation and the payment didn't go through so we refreshed the page to input another card and when it refreshed there was no infant on the reservation. We asked you to add him on and you tried to up charge us $500 even though we showed proof that there was no extra charge. We even called Hilton and they told us there was no additional charge for our infant. Now I see why people get frustrated with you guys. I'm glad Hilton took care of the problem.

I tried very carefully to make sure all the booking details were correct, but despite believing I had the correct check in and out dates, the reservation ended up wrong. And this is not the first time this has happened on one of these third party websites.
