They advertise a price and clearly state that the reservation is cancelable. Click on link, enter CC info, get a confirmation that reservation is non refundable. They hide behind the booking company and they're not responsible for the change in terms. Complete BS of a business model. There's a reason that they've been fined by governments for fraud. Only by stopping using them, will they go away for good.

February 2020, made a hotel regeneration for our honeymoon at a hotel in Florida for 4 days... paid trivago $1700. 00, I called the hotel 3 days before to confirm our reseveration... the hotel said trivago called and cancelled our reseveration... THEY REFUSE TO THIS DAY TO RETURN OUR MONEY... THAT'S FINE BUT GOD TELLS US, "IF WE/TRIVAGO IS DECIETFUL, IT WILL COME BACK AT THEM 2 FOLD." Sorry for being so negative... but TRIVAGO IS A BUNCH OF CROOKS... THIEFS... NICE SCA.M. COLLECT MONEY CANCEL RESEVERATION AND KEEP MONEY... they the ones involved will face through wrath from GOD... cheaters thiefs totally unGODLY

Recently spent 2 nights half board at Cases Noves Guadalest. The food was outstanding. The quality of the services given by Toni & Sofi, was like none we have every received anywhere in the WORLD! The rooms had everything one could need, with stunning views of the beautiful mountains and the little village. An ideal place where one should come to recharge their batteries. We would most certainly visit them again, sooner rather then latter.

I have used it last week. I was searching for a hotel and Trivago found me a nice one (which I booked through Expedia). Works pretty good!

I had an amazing experience searching hotels on this site. Sometimes the excessive publicity of a business is all for nothing, but this time I wasn't disappointed. Amazing web with amazing results

We have nothing but praise for Marion Keane at the Tiernakill Farmhouse B&B. Our stay was excellent in every way: congenial, gracious and welcoming host, immaculate rooms, and a delicious breakfast with many choices. Thank you, Marion, for everything, especially for the ride to the pub, so that we could enjoy a lovely pint of beer!

I had a real problem booking and Trivago actually helped to solve the problem, I was impressed by the U. K. customer service office, and an individual person in that office which I do not want to mention by name on this review but wow, the willingness to help solve the issue was incredible. Thank You.

Dear Ron,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

Please allow us to correct you on a few things.

Trivago is a hotel search and not a booking site, you cannot make a booking on trivago. As a hotel search, trivago is not involved in the booking process between the user, the online travel agent (Otel.com in your case) and the hotel, and therefore cannot, in any way, claim financial responsibility for the transaction process between these parties. We pull information from multiple (over 260) booking sites and display the prices together. However, once a user clicks through to book a room, they are directed to the appropriate booking site which provides that price to complete reservation and payment details. Trivago doesn't actually have any involvement in the making of the booking.

Nevertheless, before displaying rates from a booking site on trivago, a background check on the company is always conducted to ensure that their customers have the opportunity find the deals offered on their website. This background check has been completed for Otel.com. You are correct, Otel.com is a Turkish company, which explains why their banking is handled out of Istanbul.

Trivago does not display deals from any site that does not pass our integration check, or where there are any reports that the site is not reliable. As we endeavor to display all online hotel offers globally, we believe that we would be doing a disservice to our users if we were to ban a booking site.

What you can and should expect from trivago is that we will always strive for maximum transparency. Therefore we recommend that our users take further steps to review the booking site’s rating score. All rating scores are prominently displayed next to the logo of each booking site on trivago and are continuously reviewed by fellow trivago users.

Please get in touch with us directly at info@trivago.com if you would like further assistance with your issue. We will do our utmost to help you.

Kind regards,

Dear June,

As a hotel search, trivago is not involved in the booking process between the user, the online travel agent and the hotel, and therefore cannot, in any way, claim financial responsibility for the transaction process between these parties.

On trivago, users can search and compare different hotels and prices on our site. We pull information from multiple OTAs (online travel agencies) and display the prices together. However, once a user clicks through to ‘view deal’, they are directed to the appropriate booking site which provides that price to complete reservation and payment details. Trivago doesn't actually have any involvement in the making of the booking.

It seems as though you are currently in contact with Lauren in our user support team and she is doing her utmost to assist you in resolving your issue with your booking with Hoteling. Please continue to provide her with all relevant info so she can do so.

Kind regards,
Trivago user support.

Been using Trivago for many years. It is easy to use (nice interface). Never had any issues with a booking I made (even though Trivago is not reven responsible for that because it is a price comparisson website, duh!) 5STARS!

One of the most useful sites in the web. I'm a very spontanious traveler, therefore trivago is perfect for me. As short-notice booking usually goes in hand in hand with higher prices, trivago can save me some bucks, that I will gladly invest in more shopping:-) Clean design, a big range of hotels and easy handling.

An amazing experience. The best way to see the Athabasca river. It was our first time and our expectations were exceeded! We had an amazing guide, called Jhett who took the time to explain the currents and the importance of team work. He was very friendly, knowledgeable and very safety oriented. We enjoyed the class 2+ ride and hope to one day come back and try class three.

Loveeee the Crowne Plaza in White Plains NY! The manager Stevie-John was extremely nice and helpful. My boyfriend and I stayed for a night and Stevie upgraded our room for free and gave us free access to the 12th floor lounge. He answered every question we asked and helped us with everything we needed. My boyfriend and I stay here a lot and it's always a great experience when Stevie helps us! Highly recommend and the rooms are classy, clean, and definitely worth the money! Thank you Stevie!

We had a most enjoyable stay at the Clarion Resort. The view of the ocean, the bay and Coastal Highway, were amazing. Could not believe we were able to see all three from our high balcony, (14th floor). The staff could not be any more helpful and courteous. The pool staff was wonderful, (attentive and great with kids). We found the maid staff to be most accommodating and great at their jobs too. We were thrilled to be staying here and will definitely return for another visit. Thank you, Clarion Hotel for giving us a much needed rest.
