“Great Service!”

We tried booking at a Toronto hotel but there was no availability Joyce, in Reservations at the Canopy Hotel, was a terrific help. She checked throughout other establishments until we found what we were looking for. She saved us time, and was most pleasant and helpful! Thanks Joyce. Bruce and Susan McKie

“BEWARE THIS COMPANY IS A SCAM”

Lynne F.
12/13/24

1 star only because they dont allow negative stars. This company is operating with misleading and deceptive practices which are illegal in Australia. The only way to stop or limit there scam behaviour is to warn people. I made a booking with Bookonlie.com not realising they were an american website. They charged american $ for a booking in Australia for an Australian hotel. They also charged over $50 aus for insurance which I did not select. When I call and complained they chose to cancel my booking. I DID NOT ASK FOR THE BOOKING TO BE CANCELLED> So now i have lost over $600 and have no accomodation. Numerous calls to - yes you guessed it a Phillipino call centre - i have had no help. They tell me someone will call me back but it has now been over 2 weeks. The last call centre person tried to assure me they were a highly professional internal company. MMM you would wonder if this was correct why they would need to steal from people.

I reserved a 3 night hotel stay in Richmond Va at a Super 8 thru bookonline. Com. When I arrived the place was nasty with a terrible odor of smoke and filthy carpets. When I went to my room it was just as nasty and also came with a crack pipe in the bathroom. I stayed the night and in the morning I immediately checked out and canceled the next 2 nights. I called Bookonline and was told I would receive a refund within 7 days needless to say that never happened and now I can't get thru to anyone there to discuss this matter. I will write this off to experience however will never use them again and would suggest the same for you.

There's no real experience to speak of in that I never made it to Pensacola. Making arrangements was a breeze, though my time on the phone ran short.

I was not careful enough to realize this was not the way I usually book a motel room - thought I was doing so under the hotel's website. As soon as I saw the final amount, I went to cancel the reservation, but was unable to because the amount was "nonrefundable." What a scam. I'm referring to the BB Bureau. In addition, I was not sent a confirmation email - I was unable to download the confirmation from the webpage. Believe me, I tried.

Tip for consumers:
They tacked on an additional $65 to the price shown for the motel.

Products used:
Motel reservation.

I booked a room for the 19th and 20th and they booked me for the 3rd and 4th or March. When I went to check the confirmation it was 4 days past due and I couldn't get refund due to policy when they messed. I would not prefer this booking company to take care of rat I got from there gutters. If I was you call hotel not them. Worse service also they hang up on you multiple times.

Tip for consumers:
Find someone else. Call hotel not them!!
