Horrible

I had reserved a room for 2 nights, just in case I needed the 2nd night. It is currently 10 days until check in. Tried to modify it on the website, I couldn’t because there was no room available. Umm, what? Called and I talked to someone. She stated that there were no rooms available to make the ch... Show more

Don’t waste your time.

I booked my hotel 2 days in advance, and when I arrived to my hotel ( after driving for 10 hours straight and only slept for 2 hours ) they did not have my reservation. I showed the confirmation number, my ID, and the front desk person sent me to the same hotel down the street to see if my reservat... Show more

Going back to Expedia.

Been using for 6 years. Gold level most months so I know how to use it and how to book and apply my rewards nights. Somehow magically after applying my free night and an extra night at regular price and submitting payment I was logged out of the system so it charged me full price and no free night ... Show more

Liars. Cheats. Do not book with these people. Go direct to the hotel.

If you ever try to cancel a reservation or change it to one less day, good luck! The ladies in the Philippines will try to wear you down with phones they claim don’t work and they will insist that they must waste the poor front desk person’s time to “approve” a refund. Then after they spend hours... Show more

Run

Trying to talk to customer service has been the worst experience I’ve ever had with a company. I called in four separate times because twice the agent hung up on me when they didn’t understand my question instead of just telling me they didn’t know, after taking several minutes for me to have to sp... Show more

Horrible service!

I am a gold member and I’ve rented hundreds of hotels through Hotelscom but when I rent a hotel room off of their app that has lost their business license due to prostitution and I request a refund because I was not able to even stay the night there and had to book another room and their records c... Show more

Disappointing app

I used Hotelscom to book an appointment with Hilton in Orlando and it went through. However I could not find this reservation in my app regardless of signing in and out multiple times. I could see all my previous reservation and cancelled reservations but just not this one. I could not cancel this... Show more

Worst add a customer service

I have never seen the worst customer service like this!!!
I have booked a room on January 14 till January 15 by mistake I wanted to book my room on January 15 till January 16 the minute that I made my mistake I called and asked to change the date just for an extra 24 hour which will be January 1... Show more

Frustrating!!!

I tried to book a room. I get to the payment and see there is now an option for Apple Pay... except it didn’t work, because my “shipping” address doesn’t match. So, I thought I needed to update my account. Can’t get directly to my account - had to back all the way out of the booking to get to my a... Show more

Update the App

You want people to right reviews as you request them quite frequently. It would be nice if Hotelscom does not reset in the middle of writing a review. I I leave Hotelscom to check a picture or to get/confirm a detail on my review everything O types and even the selections I made are all gone. Thi... Show more

Horrible customer service BEWARE

I kept getting random emails saying that I had a reservation coming up in the very near future, could not figure out what it was referring to. Went to my mobile app under my bookings just to check, and this reservation is no where to be found. The email had a confirmation number and everytime I cl... Show more

Customer service is the worst, car below industry standard

Standards of the trade itself are not upheld and this leads to major stress attacks on body and beingness.
Lack of respect and integrity for ones time.
Uncaring. Will pass you off to another agent over and over until you give up your asking for a refund for a stay that was not completed du... Show more

EXPEDIA’S OFFSPRING

This is a good app. Of the many app options to make reservations for hotel stays, this is Hotelscom that I keep on the forefront. I like the idea of narrowing the availability of hotels down to the area that I’m located in & once the hotels are done for the area Hotelscom will begin to ventur... Show more

Customer care

I was just about to give up on Hotelscom completely! I stayed 10 nights, and was not able to get my stamps for any nights. However, I decided to call and no one was able to help me after constantly being hung up on. Then I decided to try the help chat and after an hour and a half of non stop tran... Show more

Love this app!

I have been using Hotelscom for years! It’s super convenient. I use it on the go on road trips and can find hotels near me easily always at theBest prices! Booking is super fast. I have earned many hotel rooms over the years. Not many sites do that!They had a glitch last month and I was worried th... Show more

Great app, but changing booking could be made easier.

Great app. Easy to use. My only complaint is that if you want to change your booking to a different hotel, you can’t do it online - even if you have a fully refundable booking. My experience was I was required to call customer service. When I called, for the new hotel I wanted to book they were sho... Show more

Marina Banderas Suites, Nuevo Vallarta Mexico

This by far will be one of the easiest reviews to write. My husband and I stayed a couple of nights at this resort and will be recommending it to all my family and friends. It absolutely is a gem. The rooms were nice and clean, the personal touches(fully stocked mini bar), was outstanding. At f... Show more

Customer service is horrible

They do a bait and switch they give you codes for extra stamps that you won’t get instead there system conveniently don’t show something that you know you did gold membership also a lie you never get the perks they say you will and when it’s something simple to fix they give you the run around so a...

Not Helpful

I booked with this site all of the time. Yesterday, we arrived at our “hotel” at 6pm and they had no clean rooms. They actually gave us keys to a room that was being used! They told us to come back in two hours! I called the 800 number for help and was treated horribly by Bella a manager. She was r... Show more

Buggy app / does not work for updates iPhone users

The website is good. I’ve used it before and found good deals. There is a bug in the search bar however. User are unable to “sort” the listings using Hotelscom . Listings appear in list format according to apps recommendation? So basically, if you want to search for a room based on price, rating o... Show more

False information.

I am 20 years old so booking a hotel is quite difficult since most places you have to be 21+. I like how in Hotelscom it tells you the min booking age. I go to book a 18+ hotel, everything is paid for, I drive 10 hours to the hotel, go to go check in and the min check in age is actually 21+ when i... Show more

Never again

The lack of customer service I received was horrendous. I booked a hotel and chose the "pay at hotel" option. The fine print on this site was I would be charged the day I checked into my hotel, which was going to cost me $233 a night not including their taxes or fees. I went ahead and booked it, wa... Show more

Customer service.......

As of right now I am very frustrated with Hotelscom . I have signed up, reserved a hotel, I have a confirmation number, and everything I need. However, when I try to login to Hotelscom , it won’t let me. I have tried every possible email or password it could possibly be, and none of them work. Incl... Show more

Terrible customer service

I never write reviews but Hotelscom was very frustrating when it came to customer service. Hotelscom itself was okay for what it does but speaking with some of the workers at the hotels the actual room prices are cheaper than when you book them thru Hotelscom. So the “free nights” is actually pa... Show more

Luke warm, at best...

I don’t mind using Hotelscom to search for hotels. I actually like being able to see the pictures and read about the amenities. I also enjoy the ability to find deals. What I really dislike is that it NEVER retains my confirmed bookings! Even if I've booked a hotel and received the confirmation em... Show more

Never what you wanted

I have used Hotelscom many times, and while one free night stay for every 10 nights of the hotels that are average together and dollar amount is pretty good, what isn’t good is how whatever you book can be changed through the system into something completely not what you’re looking for. Unfortunat... Show more

Search is bogus

I spend a bunch of time in upstate and downstate New York. I use hotels because I like getting the free night every ten. And they keep me loyal because of it. But when I do a search on Hotelscom and find hotels, I am noticing I do not always get shown ALL of the possible hotels available. However,... Show more

Slipping backwards

Have used Hotelscom in past with better results. Latest attempt found it reasonably easy to book and pay with Apple Pay, BUT, was unable to transfer the reservation ‘card’ into wallet even with multiple attempts. Called and was told it was because I hadn’t signed into app. (No problems in past and... Show more

Frustrating

Pricing is higher than actual hotel listing and other listings on web. So the “free nights” that are part of the your rewards is being paid for over the ten bookings. I find that very disappointing.

There is no filter for two beds. Just two people so every time I go to a hotel I have to con... Show more

Good app with potential

I have used so far almost only the web portal, it is simply more practical due to the screen size (and I have an 8 plus..)
Once a reservation is finished and confirmed it would be nice to have 1) the possibility to add the reservation to calendar, 2) the reservation page should be closed and ret... Show more
