### 1/5 — Does not load

*2025-04-01*

App won't make it past the loading screen. Just sits there doing nothing forever.

**Developer response:** Thanks for letting us know! If the app doesn’t give you the option to update, we recommend uninstalling it and reinstalling the latest version. That should solve the loading issue.

### 1/5 — Nothing ever available

*2024-11-03*

I went a month a head I went 3 months I went the day of . Maybe  your not in La yet idk . I will cancel this review with explanation just little confused . I even changed 5 different hotels same result even hours 3 to 24

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for your comment, it helps us to keep improving. Please note that we are working to offer you a wider variety of hotels in different countries. We hope to surprise you soon with new hotels :)

### 1/5 — Worst company of criminals

*2024-05-08*

This app got me on the first try for $75. I put the date and selected the time. When I got the confirmation email it said my booking was a week way. I called the hotel they said they had a booking from me nor did they offer the service and never heard of the company. Even tho the confirmation email said my booking was a week out I still couldn’t cancel. No be ever answers the phone. And once I finally got. Email back it stated that they don’t offer cancellations. And never heard from them again. I have reported this app written  this review. I hate scammers. And shame on you Apple

**Developer response:** Hi! We are sorry to hear about what happened. We would like to know more about this issue with the hotel so we can help you. Could you please send us more details to hello@byhours.com? We will be happy to help you. nice day!

### 1/5 — Total scam

*2024-05-02*

So I love the idea of this app. But when I found a hotel a hotel that was close by on there list I selected a day and times. I paid and the receipt or itinerary it was an itinerary of the wrong time wrong days a month away from when I wanted it and didn’t give me any option to cancel or reschedule or talk to anybody. I’ve emailed them four times no response in 48 hours and when you call their number Did you get a voicemail that claims they are not available even during their business hours I’ve called multiple times multiple hours of the day and night. Nothing I highly recommend nobody try this. It is a scam.

### 1/5 — why is the font size of all the text info about the hotel so tiny?

*2024-03-28, version 4.4.3*

using on iphone 15 pro max screen

### 1/5 — Cuidado! No la recomiendo!

*2022-03-06*

No usar en latino América, en mi experiencia y en experiencia de compañeros la app realiza mal las reservas y al momento de quejarse te dicen que realizaran el cobro, ya que son las políticas. No tiene sentido utilizar esta app y arriesgarse a algún tipo de estafa.

**Developer response:** Hola Rigel! Muchas gracias por tomarte el tiempo de responder, todo comentario nos ayuda a crecer. 
Nos gustaría saber cuál fue el problema  con la app para poder trabajar en ello. 
Un saludo.

### 1/5 — Price paid different from booking price

*2019-01-02, version 2.2.20*

Great idea, but really disappointed by the fact the price I paid was higher than the booking price by more than 10%. No useful help from the customer service.

### 1/5 — No availability

*2018-05-29*

After downloading the app, I checked to see availability near me (Dallas) and there were 0 hotels available.   Ok, so how about New York City when I’m there in a week.  0 hotels listed.  

Wish I could give it a better rating as the interface and design is good.  Without product, it is useless.

**Developer response:** Hello Brett, 

Thank you very much for your feedback. Unfortunately currently we do not operate in the United States. BYHOURS is proud to say that we will soon be offering hotels by the hour in the US market.

If you ever in Europe we invite you to use our APP! 

Best, 

BYHOURS team

### 1/5 — Not working

*2018-05-29*

I type a name of a city and nothing happens.

**Developer response:** Hi there! Seems that there might have been some issues with our APP at the time. It can also happen that we do not yet have Hotels in the city you're looking for, but we have modified our APP to let you know of this information clearly.

If your problem still persists, please contact us at hello@byhours.com and we'll assist you as soon as we can.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2017-10-16*

Not connecting to servers at all...
🙄

**Developer response:** We're so sorry that happened! We've updated the app and now everything works correctly. If you download the app again and it works well, we'll love that you leave a positive review. Thanks for your feedback!

### 5/5 — Very useful app if you’re in a country with hourly hotel options

*2023-01-02*

This app is only useful if you’re in a country with hotels that offer hourly reservation. With that said, I found the app to be very easy to use in Mexico City. I was able to find a hotel at a good location. The reservation and check-in processes were both pretty smooth.  This is a great solution when you have a late flight.

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for taking the time to rate us! What a pleasure! We are constantly expanding our number of hotels around the world. But we are delighted to be able to make your travels more comfortable! See you soon :)
