Leave a Review Priceline
Thieves
I have been a loyal customer sense 2010, recommending their services to my friends and family. Over the past two years that has all changed . This is the 3rd time priceline has taken my money without giving me a service, leaving me with nothing. Priceline has pretty much screwed me over for lack of better words. On more than one occasion Priceline has had deals on there website and app that are not actually available, yet they they have charged my card leaving me with nothing now I have to wait 8-15 business days for my refund to be processed. Not only have they blamed me for not using a credit card next they blame the bank and I will be seeing my money back to me in enough time when all reality they need to take responsibility and update her apps they don’t have offers that are outdated. Not only will they Blame you for using a debit card but they will also blame your bank or the hotel before even beginning to take responsibility. When ever I have called there costumer service, they just blame blame blame, and do nothing to fix the situation or make it better, THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT THERE CLIENTS. It’s not my fault I used a debit card it’s not my banks fault for having to refund MY MONEY it’s Priceline’s fault for having a deal that is outdated and still taking my money..I’ve given priceline so many chances but this is the last straw and stay away from Priceline. They have lost a loyal customer.Show lesszwerry
Developer Response
Hi. As part of the request process, we authorize your card to verify that the card will accept the full amount of the charge. If you used a debit card for the transaction, the reservation cost will be deducted from your available credit as a charged. Since the reservation was not accepted, our system automatically sent a charge reversal to your bank. We suggest that you contact your bank for more information about their refund time frames and policies. Our sincerest apologies for the inconvenience. If you need further assistance, please contact our Customer Service at 1-800-774-2354. Our agents are available 24/7. Thanks.Star ratings are completely made up! Don’t believe anything Priceline says!
We paid one of their Express Deals for a 2 1/2 star hotel. We got an absolute dump that wreaks of cigarette smoke, is filthy dirty, disgusting! Whole second floor room wiggles when my husband shook his foot up and down. Bed linens are dirty, bathroom has what looks like blood on the cabinets. I’m itching all over & have bites on my back. I’m not sure it’s due to mold or bug bites! Priceline stands behind their 2 1/2 star review for this hotel even though its 1 1/2 on Yelp. It’s super gross. The ceilings even in the halls show water damage. The emergency lights look like they've had a leak above as well. The ac unit makes all kinds of dying moaning noises all night. The bed feels like we’re lying on the floor. The floor is so gross that we won’t take off our shoes! I showered with flip flops on because everything is so gross. There’s hair on everything. Doesn’t look like this room has been cleaned out between guests. Pubic hair on bed sheets. The “breakfast” consists of breakfast bars & tiny muffins thrown in a basket. There’s never anyone manning the front desk. Priceline will do nothing about it. They keep saying that their standards are more strict than others & it’s a 2 1/2 star hotel. That’s absolutely bogus. Obviously this is an issue with Priceline because they’ve got a very detailed canned response for it!
Don’t trust Priceline’s star ratings!Show lessSmenard23
Pretty good but room for improvement
I have used this app a bit and mostly everything is great. The only problem I have had though was that when you filter for hotels that are pet friendly you shouldn’t get to the hotel and have to beg for them to let you stay. I took my dog on a road trip and the first stop was after 15 hours of driving. We were exhausted and ready to go to bed, but when we got there we had to beg them to let us stay which thankfully they made an exception since I was able to show them where the listing showed them as pet friendly. That was stressful, but I was willing to let it go and call it a fluke until it happened again the next evening on the next hotel stop. Fortunately the lady at the front desk also took pity on us and allowed us to stay, but we have to sneak her in and out to use the bathroom and leave the hotel so the other people who work here won’t know she’s here so again very stressful. Please make sure that if you are assigning a hotel to someone looking for pet friendly that it actually is pet friendlyShow lessrabbit fox
Ripped off on hotel bid
Bid on a 3 star minimum hotel in Orlando, placed a $275 bid and was placed in a Holiday Inn that was seedy, dirty, old and outdated. The room was dirty, body hair in the bathtub, stains throughout the rooms carpet, mold in the shower/tub gout and the hair dryer was broken. I emailed Priceline immediately when we got in the room, they didn't reply until a few days later. They replied that the hotel gave us free breakfast so that was the compensation accepted for the dissatisfaction for the room. The hotel text me asking if we were happy and I told her we weren't and explained the problems in the room, she text that she couldn't refund some of the room charge because we booked through a third party/Priceline so all she could offer is a free meal which we didn't use because it was a breakfast buffet at TGIF, gross.
We spent with tax and fees over $300 for one night in a maybe 1 Star Holiday Inn when we were "guaranteed" a 3 star minimum room before bidding. For that money we could have stayed at a nice Disney resort which was the level we were expecting because of the 3 star minimum we paid for. Customer service was not willing to do anything to make this right so we will never be using Priceline again and will continue to tell everyone we can about how we got ripped off by Priceline.Show lessDebrabully
Horrible Service, Deceitful practices!
I bought a first class plane ticket, my credit card was charged and my flight status was booked. A month later (3 days to departure) the airline informa me that Priceline has cancelled my reservation and if I show up at the airport they won’t let me board. Called Priceline 13 times, I kept getting transferred and then their reps would just hang up on me while I waited. Then someone told me it was fixed, but on the return leg of my round trip, the airline tells me I was downgraded from first class to economy and made me pay for my bag. Again called Priceline and had to pay long distance rate and after 14 minutes on the phone the incompetent rep could not help me, I chose to pay for the bag so that I wouldn’t miss my flight because I had to show up for work the next day.
Now I am giving Priceline another show, I tried booking a flight twice, the app gave me an error “unable to book but here are other amazing deals.” It didn’t book my trip (my flight does not show up in the My Trips section of the app) however I have two $1,200 charges on my credit card. Now I have to waste another 3 hours of being transferred with a dozen Priceline reps until someone is able to help me.Show lessjvaldivi87
Horrible Customer Service
I’ve gotten a great hotel on this app, but every other hotel I’ve gotten has sucked. Don’t do the express deals if you’re going to use the app at all, they’re never what they say they are. Even the guest scores are unreliable because somehow it shows they rated it well when the review they’ve given is something along the lines of “horrible customer service” “my car was broken into” “bed bugs”. When I tried to contact Priceline about a problem with my card, they insisted that the hotel would accept a card with any name on it for incidentals. The card I booked the room with had been stolen and they were saying that I wouldn’t have to show them that card, or even a card with my name on it, just any card, even after telling them that I have seen many reviews in which people were turned away for just accidentally leaving out their middle initial for the reservation, they just repeated that any card would be fine. I then asked if I could be refunded the money I bought the hotel room with so I could put it onto another card I could show the hotel, they copy and pasted the hotels refund and cancellation policy and ended the chat.Show less🤡🎃
Easy Interface - Great Prices - Great Customer Service
I can’t say enough good about PriceLine and the App. I have used the service numerous times, so my review is based on all of these experiences. I alway check other sources for deals and I always find the best deals on PriceLine. I have used it for business and personal vacations. But what made me actually write this review rather then just rate the app, was my recent experience with their customer service. In a rush to get a reservation done while sick and mildly medicated, I accidentally made the reservation for the wrong dates. I needed it for a week later. Once I realized my mistake, I called PriceLine directly from the app. The service rep (wish I could remember his name) was professional and friendly. He contacted the hotel for me and confirmed that they could cancel the reservation for me (it was a special deal that was supposed to be non-refundable). I received the cancellation notice seconds after getting off the phone. PriceLine went the extra mile for me, and that is why I am writing this review and gave them 5 stars. Thanks again PriceLine.Show lessIllinoisCountryBoy
Horrible Customer Service
I have used Priceline regularly for the last few years, booking hotel rooms through them several times a month. When there are no issues, they’re great, but the times there are issues make it unbearable. I booked a hotel using the app based on it being in a specific location, and being able to get a suite with a kitchenette at a great price. Once I received the confirmation, I realized that the hotel was located approx 20 miles away from where they showed on the map, and I had a reservation for a standard room. I was told by hotel employees that they had contacted Priceline several times regarding the incorrect information, but they had made no effort to change it. So after my family drove nearly an hour out of our way to stay in a room smaller than I had intended, I let customer service know about the incorrect information and requested a refund based on it. After a few communications with different CS reps, they have yet to acknowledge that the information was inaccurate, accept responsibility, compensate me for my inconvenience or correct the info on their site. They are intentionally deceiving their customers. Priceline’s entire purpose is to curate travel information to simplify the process for users. If I have to use other sites and apps to verify that their info is correct before using them, then they are useless to me.Show lessDPhillips88
