Just been scammed out of £2000 by a bogus ,very well organized Booking.com team.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

The story so far is that my daughter, by no fault of her own, trusting a well-known provider of hotel and travel services called Booking.com, which is owned by Booking Holdings, was using their services, firstly chasing a refund from a hotel that just cancelled and promised a refund for a room, which never came. In the process of trying to negotiate the terrible Booking.com website and ending up at a bogus Booking.com site dealing with refunds, etc., she was subsequently fleeced of £1996.

They asked for her year of birth, and hey presto, the money was gone. They had the details used by Booking.com to pay originally to get the money out of her account. No one has replied or shown any interest in this or contacted us. To me, this shows complete disregard for the client’s wellbeing or any care over what has taken place.

Mr. Fogle from Booking Holdings is arrogant and aloof. This is of no concern to him or his company.

We will make sure to try and get the money back somehow. My daughter worked all year to have a holiday; now it's ruined.

No answer,no reply to email.Complete disinterest in our problem .Obviously to big a company to bother with their clients.A problem with security and hacking is not something worth addressing.

Original review Jul 31, 2025

They could have a better customer service department. Preying on young people won't give you long-term customers; bad service reports spread.

Maybe more publicity is needed on the scams operated. My daughter's holiday is ruined, and no one cares.

Resolved: Booking.com will not refund my money

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Updated by user May 28, 2025

Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with apology. My issue has NOT been.

resolved. I want a full refund and Booking.com will not refund my money unless the owner refunds Booking. He insists we stayed there and we did not. I provided documentation proving we did not stay there.

Has he provided documentation proving WE DID, no he has not. He says we check in late.

The point is we could not open the lock box w/o help and then the apartment. He would not answer texts or phone calls so we were forced to get a hotel.

Updated by user May 28, 2025

Booking refuses to refund my money. Owner says we arrived after check in time.

We may have but he left us the code for a lock box holding the keys. We couldn't open the lock box without help and subsequently could not open the apartment door. So even if we were late checking in, he should have been available to help. He insists we stayed there w/o proof.

I gave them plenty of documentation that proves we did not stay there. Unless he pays Booking the money they will not reimburse me.

Original review May 12, 2025
I paid for a 5 day stay in Brunate, IT. We were unable to get into the apartment.

The owner completely ignored our calls/texts. We did not stay in the apartment even tho the owner claims that we did. I tried to work with Booking.com sending emails, calls and finally a letter to the Netherlands. Ultimately, we had to get a hotel room because the owner ignored us.

I will be more than happy to send Booking Holdings a more complete information.

In fact, you can count on it. I want my money back for an apartment we did not use!
Thank you Paula Goldman

Double charge

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I tried to book our hotel room for two nights. When I tried to push continue, it wouldn't continue, so I re-entered my card again, and it went through.

When I called Booking to explain what happened, they were rude and didn't care. I still had to pay a cancellation fee of $139. I don't believe this was fair. I've been with Booking for 20 years.

I will never use them again, nor will I ever recommend them.

Do not use Booking; they are unfair. Do not trust booking.com.

Not getting my refund owed to me

Updated by user Jul 23, 2025

Stay firm and consistent, you will have to keep demanding to get anywhere with this company. Avoid them at all costs if possible. Its not worth the time and stress you will have trying to argue with this company.

Original review Jul 07, 2025
Was overcharged for a car rental booking, purchased the additional insurance which was suppossed to be $48.00. My card was charged $60.00 for the insurance on the rental car.

The day before rental pickup, called to confirm and I was told the insurance was cancelled. I didnt cancel it!??? Then was told I would have to cancel car rental booking and rebook it all over again to obtain the insurance. I was told my $60.00 would be refunded!

I have been fighting for 3 weeks to get that refund. Now customer service keeps saying they have refunded it and its my bank causing the issue. My bank says there is no pending refund from this company, no transaction from them. The company is lying about the refund.

Total ripoff scam!!! I am reporting this company to every official entity, as well as warning others on all social media platforms and news outlets that this company is a scam and ripoff artists, and to NOT book ANYTHING through "Booking.com".

I booked a location to spend my birthday. However, my fiance was involved a ar accident.

Therefore, I canceled the outing. They are denying me my refund.

So they get to keep almost $600 for free. ***

Firma nie odpowiada na wiadomości, nie rozwiązuje spraw klientow. Jest mi winna 120 GBP i nie kwapi się by oddać. Ostrzegam przed Booking Holding.

Original review Mar 11, 2025
W dniach 07-09.03.2025 zarezerwowałem obiekt noclegowy w Wielkiej Brytanii za pośrednictwem aplikacji booking.com. Drugiego dnia pobytu zepsuł się zamek w drzwiach wynajmowanego przeze mnie pokoju.

Przez ponad 16 godzin próbowałem uzyskać pomoc od obsługi, pracowników booking.com w tej sprawie, niestety bezskutecznie. Co więcej, pracownicy firmy kierowali mnie z moim problemem na policję, lub kazali mi - swojemu klientowi, zadzwonić po ślusarza. Pozostawili mi rozwiązanie sprawy. Ponadto 1 pracownik nie wykazał żadnej empatii, zrozumienia ani zaangażowania.

Pozostali pracownicy obiecali, że oddzwonią, ale tego nie zrobili, a do booking.com bardzo trudno się dodzwonić.
Ostatecznie zarezerwowałem nocleg w innym obiekcie, a w niedzielny poranek po wizycie na policji ostatecznie zażądałem, aby booking.com wydał mi bagaż, w tym leki, które zostały w pokoju, w którym zepsuł się zamek. Aby odzyskać bagaż, musiałem sam wyważyć drzwi. Dodatkowo moja partnerka cierpi na schizofrenię, więc ta sytuacja poważnie zaszkodziła jej zdrowiu. Chcieliśmy odpocząć, ale jedyne co nam pozostało to nerwy, bo booking.com zostawił nas samych z problemem, chowając się za procedurami.

To skandal i szok. Żądam reakcji, żeby inni nie musieli przechodzić przez to, co my. Oczywiście żądam również odszkodowania - zwrotu wszystkich poniesionych kosztów i rekompensaty za stracony czas i nerwy. Mam nadzieję, że uda nam się załatwić tę sprawę między sobą.

W przeciwnym razie skieruję sprawę do sądu. Czekam na Państwa stanowisko/odpowiedź.Nie
