I booked this reservation thinking I was booking it through the hotel's website. Upon realizing the rates I was paying were much higher than the hotel's actual rates and that I needed to make an adjustment to the dates, I cancelled this within 48 hours of booking. The policy said the cancellation and refund was subject to the hotel's cancellation policy. They refused to issue any refund for a booking that is 5 months out. This is a horrible business practice and very misleading to the customer. The confirmation itself says "Free Cancellation" which seems synonymous with a refundable reservation. I have never had such an unpleasant experience and will never use this again.

My husband made a reservation months ago, but had issues when he arrived. They only had $1,200 a night suites available. While my husband was at registration trying to reserve a cheaper room, I called and spoke with Vanessa. She was able to book him a reservation for 3 nights at the Cosmopolitan. My hubby was able to walk over and check in immediately. After a long flight, finding a reasonably priced room was a relief.
I mistakenly booked a hotel room on this website and paid in full at the time of booking. When I checked out of the hotel 3 nights later I was told that my payment had not been received and that I needed to pay for my stay with another credit card. I have filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau.
I was impressed with how quickly our reservation was completed. The customer service representative was courteous and effective. I could not have ask for better service and support.

Neal assisted me with my booking in a professional manner although I didn't like that I did not get my IHG discounted rate which is why I booked at this facility. When I reviewed the bill I saw that a $50 fee was added to the special rate.

I thought I was calling Drury Inn. It was the number listed by the hotel when I googled the specific hotel and location. I did not learn that I had booked through Priceline until we arrived at the hotel. I feel scammed. I was unable to receive my hotel membership points and the charge was more than the actual hotel would charge.

I asked for reservation details. He stated nothing available today. I asked when is there availability he stated he doesn't know and to call back tomorrow to see if there is availability tomorrow 🤔. I was dumbfounded by his response. His non caring attitude did not help. I literally told him, worse reservation experience ever.looks like an amazing hotel, but if reservations is tgat bad, how is the hotel customer service. Ill never know!

The agent was polite with pleasant voice. She explained rate, pricing confirming all information. She made sure that we received confirmation both by text and email before the call ended. Exceptional customer service! Thanks!

I was deceived into thinking I was booking directly with the hotel which is what I wanted. I did not want to book through a 3rd party. I was also not told of an additional charge of $50 per night at the hotel, I found out when I got there. Then when I tried to get a refund, I was told on the phone it was approved and then they never credited my card.

I immediately realized that Cecilia was just simply the perfect professional to have handle every aspect of our reservations in regards to a very important travel accomodation for my business. The entire phone call was wonderful and I actually became a bit saddened to have end the phone conversation with her.

Please do not make reservations with this site! When checking into our hotel they asked was the last four digits of my car used 8506. I told them know they told me that no prior payment has been made, My reservations were just held with a dummy credit card and I still had to pay for the room all over again after this website took $236 from my account! I'm filing a dispute with my bank for the charge currently

I needed to book a hotel for one night. The price came up, looked good. However, I did not see where they added $92 in taxes and fees to the reservation. Taxes should only have been $28.00. Completely non-refundable. Rip off
Tip for consumers:
Do not use as their fees are not posted next to the rates, but in a different area on the form, leading to excessive booking fees
Products used:

Hi Mary Kay, we are sorry you had this experience. Just like when you book through a hotel directly, BookOnline must charge its customers for all applicable taxes, including any hotel taxes. Additionally, by charging a service fee for all of its reservations, we are able to offer 24/7 customer support and operate as an independent travel network. BookOnline conspicuously discloses all fees and taxes on its checkout summary webpage. Despite our transparency, we remain concerned about your experience.
