“The hotel feels like home. Greeted right away!”

Honest example of great customer services. I made a booking in one of the hotels in Dhaka via Happyrooms.com.The hotel feels like home. Greeted right away! They made suggestions for taxi service, restaurants, and sites to see. All were #1 in our books. The staff spoke English, no communication issues at all. Food in restaurant for breakfast was amazing, lots to choose from. No disappointments at all. Definately would Book from here again! Worth checking out!

Wanted to make a simple change of date regarding my reservation and it has been over a week and half and still have not heard back from a representative. I've called five times and they've made it clear that they will take advantage of your time and money. Also after purchasing from their site, my credit card information was stolen. Don't trust this site or the deals they give you. If you have a good lawyer, keep their number close by. They'll be hearing from mine soon.

At the end of June I made a reservation through Happyrooms, things went wrong, I was overcharged and I got mad. But the head of complaints team(I don't know if I'm allowed to write his name) replied very quickly.The only thing I had to do was to send them by email the receipt of our stay. After that they put the difference of the amount into our account.To be honest, I didn't expect that. Excellent feedback and problem solving mentality! Thanks! My next reservation will be definately through Happyrooms!

I happened on this site while searching for a hotel for a weekend vacation stay a little more than 2 months away. All and most other websites state the hotels I am interested in are all fully booked for that weekend. I checked the actual hotels' website and they also showed these dates as fully booked. Then I found Happyrooms.com and noticed the seemingly impossible good fortune that they have listed the hotel I want for $200 cheaper than any other website. I decided to do a little research on this company since I have never used them in the past and the price and availability are both too good to be true. It is then that I find out this company is a total fraud. They use bait and switch tactics. I am glad I researched it before booking. Thanks to sitejabber, trustpilot and google. I am hoping others will see these reviews and stay as far away from happyrooms.com as possible.

We booked a hotel in December 2016 to stay in July. In March 2017 I was notified that the reservation is no longer available. It was not a good news to learn. They offered similar different hotel in the same area in London later in one week. On upside: the hotel prices are very low. On downside: the hotel reservation may not be available later. In my case it was a happy end story. For the same very low price we stayed at even better hotel than we initially booked. Customer service is good and helpful. Honestly I was under the impression it is a scam website after our first booking was cancelled, but it turned out they are real and legit. We ended up saving $600 as oppose to booking the same hotel on Hotels.com or similar websites!

Booked a room on the website at a great price... read some of the reviews and got a
Panicked feeling that maybe I had made a terrible mistake based on the reviews I read (scam, rip off, no response when problems arose)... nothing could be farther from the truth... easy booking process... accurate financial outcome and confirmed room accommodation(verified with hotel). When opportunity to chat came up on line after booking, response time was less than 10 minutes to answer a subsequent question. So far so good... lets see what the final outcome of my hotel stay is... I bet it will go off without complication... counting on it... I will keep you posted... only 4 stars at this point because I haven't had my hotel stay yet. If all goes well will upgrade to 5 stars... and lets see if my $50.00 upcharge gets me an upgrade!

Tip for consumers:
Go ahead and book..it is not a scam or rip off..

I made a reservation with Happyrooms.com a month ago. I paid in full and have requested an email confirmation several times to no avail. I got suspicious and called the Iberostar Hotel booking department in Miami. They said that they had record of a reservation in my name but it had been cancelled. I do not have a reservation but Happyrooms has my money. They have been totally non responsive. Lesson learned. Always book directly with the hotel.

The agent lied about calling us back and lied about his name when asked for it. I had to call at least 5 times to get him to talk as apparently he is the only agent at that time as every time I called, he answers the phone saying he will call me back but never did. I was having problems checking into the hotel and was waiting at the lobby for hours and still never resolved..

They processed a $800 payment but the hotel never found our reservations in their system. Pretty crappy. Called three times and the agents, which are very nice and helpful, couldn't fix the problem because they use another agent to book the hotels and that company wasn't booking it. It was basically a huge waste of time, didn't save any money and now I'm praying that there are not issues getting my money back. Bummer - I really wanted to like this company!

I booked a room with double beds because I was going on a business trip with my co-worker. I then emailed the customer service and the only response I got was, cancel the room by this date. Not apologies, no nothing. This website is horrible! STAY AWAY!

Booked hotel in Dec 2016 for holiday August 2017 to Florida we have stayed at this hotel before paid extra of £250 to have an executive room on the executive floor which includes breakfast and snacks on the evening.
Day before we were going received email to say booking number ha changed
Got to hotel to find no room available on the executive floor
Cost us a fortune for breakfasts and all other extras
Contacted Happy rooms several times on my mobile (dreading phone bill which is going to be an extra £40)
Got back home an emailed straight away They offered me some money back in dollars (paid in pounds)the amount did not even cover what I had paid extra so was still out of pocket.
Still waiting after several emails for some one to get back to me
Advice is if you can cancel an get your money back do (use another website)

Be careful Happy Rooms SCAM company.! We booked rooms with the possibility of cancellation in September. In July we wanted to cancel. HAPPY ROOMS told us the cancellation date is 29. 5. 2016 They bite using "bait and switch" Once you click the button it changes the date Cancellation or hotel name. They did not want to pay us back. We said okay, we want to go on vacation at the time to September, they said that it is impossible that we canceled. Before canceling We made inquiries the reservation with Hotel Reservation was for one night instead of 5 nights Please. Do not invite them and warn your friends. They are cheaters and crooks

Tip for consumers:

Dear Fernando!

We regret that you were provided with bad service and a poor customer experience—it is the exact opposite of what we pride ourselves on. We value our customers and understand how important it is to offer exceptional service.

We investigated the case, and probably, a hotel employee mistakenly considered your reservation as cancelled. However, according to our system, the reservation was active and was not cancelled. In this case, you should have contacted us and we would handle this incident successfully.

If there are any other issues that need to be addressed, now or in the future, please don't hesitate to contact us hi@happyrooms.com

I booked the Ambassador Transit Hotel in Singapore via HappyRooms for my 73 year old mother. I contacted the hotel 3 hours prior to my Mom's arrival, but there's no room reservation for her. They even send me this booking confirmation:

"Dear,

Your reservation at Ambassador Transit Hotel Terminal 2 on 17.01.2017 18.01.2017 for 1 person in a Standard Single Room has been successfully confirmed.

We booked a room through Happyrooms.com but the hotel could never confirm the reservation. As it turns out, they had booked us at a different, SIGNIFICANTLY LESS NICE hotel in the same city... We called Happyrooms everyday for a week and each time they promised to contact us with updates, resolution, etc. They promised to fix it. They NEVER CALLED US BACK and finally we had to cancel the reservation and book directly with the hotel. Of course, by that time the price had increased. I suspect a "bait and switch" scam in which they purposefully booked us at the cheaper hotel - good thing we called to confirm and discovered the error ourselves! HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE, THE WORST, DO NOT BOOK WITH THIS FRAUDULENT COMPANY!

This site is a complete scam. We booked well in advance of our trip and 4 days before we left the hotel got a call to cancel our resevation. The person even used my boyfriend's name to pose as him. We never got a confirmation or a refund for the cancellation either. This is a complete fraud and they won't even speak to the hotel office. DO NOT BOOK WITH THIS FRAUDULENT COMPANY.

Surely is this how you treat your customers? Thank you Leila

I was able to find a really great deal on a hotel in NY by using happyrooms. It was my first time on the website so I was a little skeptical at first but everything turned out just fine. There were no issues with the hotel booking - everything went very smoothly. The website was also super easy to use to research different hotels. Excellent service, I'm very happy with my experience.
