Hundreds of complaints against Booking.com are piling up as customers and hosts allege they have lost money, their property has been trashed and no-one is taking responsibility.
„The room I booked said sea view and own bathroom. The one I got the key for has a shared bathroom outside and there’s a wall outside the window. Also, it hasn’t been cleaned. There’s nobody here and they don’t answer the phone“
Booking.com human, after arguing with their moronic AI for a while: I am sorry, all I can offer you is a 10% refund.
I only had problems one time and booking customer services wasn’t at all helpful. I had to go through my bank and do a chargeback, but fortunately I got my money back in the end.
Uff
I never had a bad experience with them, I got my refund very quickly the only time I had a major issue but I’ve not used them in a while
Lately I check these “discount hotel” websites and then check directly with the hotel to get a price match. They usually do with Priceline, agoda, booking, experian and hotels.com
I’ve dealt with booking.com. Sent pics of what was clearly a homeless flophouse and not a vacation rental.
Customer service: were denying your refund claim because the manager says what you said and the pics you sent are not true.

Straight up charge back. Then sue them for fraud.
Right, because everyone can afford those legal fees.
Charge back will have no fees, and theyre not going to come after you for the money legally as they know theyre in the wrong.
And in many countries defending against them if they do challenge the chargeback is also free, except for time.
I was talking about the ‘and then sue them’ part.
Sueing someone… is an ‘offensive’ legal action, its something you initiate, not ‘defend’ against.
Oh god no, yeah suing them is stupid. Just chargeback. Thatll cause booking.com endless trouble in itself.
