“Great Service!”

Susan M.

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.

Horrible service!

Couldn't assist even with just giving me the correct number to call!

Worst part is she hung up on me mid conversation!

On March 8 around 9:30 my husband and I wete trying to get to Colorado from Tyler Tx. My Son in law has late stage pancreatic cancer and we wanted to get thete for a visit. We were very tired as we are in our 70's with health issues as well and needed a room. JULIE answered my call and I am sure she is an Angel in disguise
She made at least 5 inquiries trying to find us a room. She finally foundvoneat the Red Roof Inn and I told her I didn't care where it was we would take it. We were glad to have a place to lay down and the bed was comfortable but it is unfortunate that place is still allowed to rent some rooms there. The door did not shut at the bottom. The bath curyain was moldy and the curyains didn't completly cover the window. However we did sleep and it was a welcome relief. God Bless Julie for helping us. We would have parked the car and tried to rest had she not found that room. Please let her know how very grateful we were. I finally found this link so I could tell you myself.

My family was going to the All Star Game Events in Seattle WA and parking was very limited especially for wheelchair users (my husband). I had to book a room just to guarantee a parking spot for $1000! Ridiculous! When I got to hotel they told me they didn't have parking at all for hotel patrons. The hotel approved the refund but told me I had to get it back through BookOnline. I contacted BookOnline and they refused to refund my money. We didn't stay in the hotel due to ZERO parking. My husband is in a wheelchair and cannot walk period! The hotel was great but BookOnline is absolutely terrible and heartless to still keep our money when we are broke due to medical necessities in our family! Because of the All Star Game the hotel was charging me $1000 a night! We didn't stay there! We were lied to and guaranteed a parking spot! Never use BookOnline to book a hotel! BookOnline will steal your money and keep saying it's non-refundable! Well when you do people wrong and lie to them you need to refund their money! ESPECIALLY WHEN WE DIDN'T STAY THERE! BookOnline should have refunded us! The CitizenM hotel was great but BookOnline was heartless and a disgrace to people with disabilities! BookOnline deserves ZERO star rating!

We booked a hotel in Roswell, Georgia and asked if it was near I75 and The person we talked to said yes. Well, he ended up booking it in Roswell, New Mexico! Not only is there no I75 in NM, they refused to let us rebook even though it was their mistake! They refused to refund our money and told us we had to write a letter explaining what happened and they would review our case. Mind you, they had a recording of their person lying to us about the hotel being off I75! Finally, over a week later, the company told us they were not at fault and wouldnt refund us. Luckily, we could stop payment with Visa. Bookonline.com company is a racket!

Tip for consumers:
Dont use this site! They lie!
