Once good app trashed!

iOS app is basically non functional garbage!

Missing Rez, No Chat or Phone Support

I booked a hotel for an upcoming trip. I received an email confirmation (thankfully), but in the app it shows I have no upcoming itineraries or purchases. I'm so glad I saved the email because I'd be screwed otherwise. I tried using their chat function, waited 14 minutes without an agent connecting, even when I marked it as urgent. I called the phone number, and unless this was a flight for a package, they can't help me with a simple hotel reservation via phone either. Worthless.

App is not useful

Can’t book in the app, can’t sign in in the app. The app is completely useless. Just use the website I guess? This should just be deleted, what a joke.

Lost money and new poor UX

The new UI/UX has many bugs. For example if you click sign in after starting a booking the app freezes.

More importantly my last booking was at a hotel that was already full booked. I showed up and was told Hotwire never paid the hotel as well as they didn’t have any rooms. Hotwire didn’t refund me either. Frustrating process. The hotel remained on the app too after I tried to search for another one.

Not using hotwire again.

FAQ

What kind of deals does the app offer?

The app specializes in exclusive, last-minute travel deals for hotels and cars. It features 'Hot Rate®' deals where you select criteria like star rating, location, and amenities, and the exact hotel is revealed after booking. You can also find app-only coupons and discounted pricing.

How do Hot Rate® deals work?

With Hot Rate® deals, you choose your desired star rating, location, amenities, and price. The app then reveals your deeply discounted hotel after you complete the booking. In some cases, you'll be shown two potential hotels and guaranteed to stay at one of them.

Is the app free to use?

Yes, the app is free to download and use. While the app itself is free, it does offer in-app purchases for booking hotels and rental cars, which are the core services provided.

What are the benefits of using the app over the website?

The app offers several advantages, including app-only coupons, discounted pricing, and the ability to draw your ideal neighborhood on a map to find hotels. It also allows for easy syncing of trip details to your calendar and features a new deal widget for quick access to weekend getaways.

Can I book travel for far in advance?

While the app focuses on last-minute deals, it also covers bookings for weeks in advance. Hotwire has you covered whether you're planning a spontaneous trip or booking ahead of time.
