“Great alternative for booking accomodation”

Jesper O.
1/3/24

Used it a few times when i was looking for some alternatives other than the more known ones, and this one worked perfectly. The thing that caught my eye the first time i ever logged on the site was their extensive language and currency preferencers, they are pretty easy to set and the website interface is a little bit old-school which like. You don't really want flashy animations and shiny illustrations, you just want to book your hotel, get your confirmation, check some info about the hotel and get on with it. This site is particularly cool for that, prices are competitive and the website often provides pretty good deals and discounts as well. So, simple and east, streamlined, supportive, competitive, it has all the good ingredients to be a really good alternative.

“This company is a criminal organization”

Carl K.

Never booked through hotelone.com these scoundrels will trick you into booking a non-refundable hotel room with zero warning. Once you book, they bill you the full amount automatically and then it's almost impossible to get your credit card company to even reverse the charge. I had a booking a month in advance on a trip I had to cancel a month in advance & the hotel refused a refund as well!

HotelsOne is a big SCAM! DON'T USE THIS COMPANY. I HOPE FBI WILL GET THEM. They prey on credit cards, they steal and watch out because they will wipe out your money. If you come across their website RAN!

We got charged right away even dough the dates where wrong. After calling customer service they claimed that we can cancel free of charge. They talked to the Hotel to confirm. They did send a notice of cancellation, however never refunded us the money!
STAY AWAY HORRIBLE COMPANY!

Had no issues per say, overall, quite good. Got an email confirming my booking shortly. Appreciate the cancellation policy of no charge until the last day

Reason I chose this business:

Conference venue. Also ease of cancellation within a day of booking is attractive in case plans change :)

I don't know which booking you are asking about. I have made several. Most have confirmed. A lodgings name is needed to make this communication useful

Be careful when you book on this website. I actually thought I was booking on the Days Inn Website but it wasn't. This Expedia website makes it appear you are booking directly with hotel. Well when I needed to cancel the hotel would have cancelled but I was told told to call Expedia since that's who I apparently booked through. It was hell trying to cancel due to an emergency and Expedia kept blaming hotel for not wanting to cancel. Expedia was the blame. I kept the reservation because they wanted me to cancel most likely to not only keep our money but book the room for someone else! The worse part is Expedia's price was the exact same price as Days Inn for the night! I will be very cautious when making a reservation again and will NEVER booked through this website again! Very misleading website even Days Inn admites to that! My overall rating an ABSOLUTE ZERO!

Booking was easy but I thought I was booking through CAA. I paid $348 for my room. I would have paid $318 for the same room with CAA. My bad. Because I got a non refundable room I couldn't cancel and rebook. If HotelsOne would refund me the difference, that would go a long way in me recommending your service to friends who are not members of CAA

A little pricey, especially with all the add ons. Not sure why hotels, etc don't just give you a price for your room, instead they add on all these extras. $50 for overnight parking is crazy

The people I spoke to at this company regarding their double charging me for a booking were liars. They refused to accept the fact they had double charged me for a booking. They claimed it was up to the hotel wheteher or not I could cancel.Then they clained they had phoned the hotel and the hotel wouldn't refund either the original charge or the erroneous second charge. I told them I had booked another date directly with the hotel and there was no problem in cancelling. They gave me the hotel's ph# which I phoned and the hotel said they had not received a call from Hotelsone. Also the cancellation policy was only advised after the booking. Don't deal with this company they are a bunch of crooks. I only gave them one star in this review because you can't submit a review otherwise.

Tip for consumers:
This company hotelsone should be banned.

Found the Cancellation message odd and will trust the 2-day advance notice for cancelation indicated in the 'info bubble'. Note the August reference for my December booking, "
Cancellation Policy
Room 1
We understand that sometimes your travel plans change. We do not charge a change or cancel fee. However, this property (Fidalgo Country Inn) imposes the following penalty to its customers that we are required to pass on: Cancellations or changes made after 3:00 PM (GMT-08:00) on 08-12-2022 are subject to a 1 Night Room & Tax penalty. If you fail to check-in for this reservation, or if you cancel or change this reservation after check-in, you may incur penalty charges at the discretion of the property of up to 100% of the booking value."

Don't like the unclear communication- even this survey came over asking to confirm I got a confirmation code but it is really a customer survey. Would suggest more transparent communication.

Carolyn S.

I booked 2 rooms through HotelsOne for the Gettysburg Hotel on 7/24/2019 at 910am for the following year 7/25/2020 to attend a wedding near by. I realize their policy is NO REFUNDS however I called back within 10 minutes of placing the reservation to cancel ONLY because I wasn't aware that another family member had placed reservations at another hotel closer to the venue. I booked 2 rooms for 2 nights for a total of $649.89. There is no reason why they cannot make an exception for this innocent error. The reservation is for a YEAR out, it's not like they won't be able to book the room. Now I could understand if I had made my reservation for this month or sooner but it is a year from now. Never have I ever heard of any hotel having this kind of policy for a reservation made a year in advance! DO NOT BOOK THRU HotelsOne or with Gettysburg Hotel because Gettysburg Hotel is aware of this policy & agree to these terms.

24 hours after making the booking I am still awaiting confirmation of questions raised. I tried to ring but their 'phone seemed out of order and the 0800 number didn't seem to function either.

Phones didn't appear to be functioning, am trying again tomorrow

Reason I chose this business:

Close to where we want to be on the dates in question.

I booked a reservation on a Tuesday for the upcoming Saturday night in Victoria at the Bedford regency hotel, l had to correct the first booking, on Wednesday I cancelled the reservation using their online system and received an email with the following response (attached below)however my hotel room was never canceled and they refuse to refund my money, hotels one is blaming it on the Bedford however it is their system that failed

Tip for consumers:
Never use this site when you go
cancel they send you an email and you believe that you’ve actually cancelled your reservation however they were refuse to refund your money and blame it on the hotel when it’s actually a fault in their site.

ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING. THEY STOLE $1500 FROM ME AND GHOSTED ME. I booked a hotel (they were sneaky I thought I was booking direct). I booked with free cancellation bc my son is undergoing chemotherapy and things can change last minute. This was his Christmas present we had to cancel, well within my timeframe, they charged me a fee which they shouldn't have, said they would refund me the balance, NEVER DID, then ghosted me. I haven't heard a word since December. I am on unpaid leave, 3 kids, with many medical expenses, I AM DISGUSTED THAT THIS COMPANY WOULD DO SUCH A THING! BEWARE OF HOTELS ONE... IF YOU READ POSITIVE REVIEWS THEY ARE NOT REAL TRUST ME!

Tip for consumers:
DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY

I had contacted via the internet the Hotel Nelligan directly and thought I was booking directly with the hotel with a cancellation policy. I was very surprised to receive an email from HotelOne and discover that I had booked though this organization and there was no cancellation option, I am locked in. Sad, given the ongoing challenges with covid to take this draconian measure.

Reason I chose this business:

I didn't. I thought I was booking directly with the Hotel Nelligan. I have been too busy with some challenging travel issues (not hotel related) I am currently dealing with to be able to contact anyone

I thought I was booking with the hotel its self, but it was hotel one. THe hotel allows refunds 24 hours prior to arrival, hotel one does not allow ANY refunds for cancelation. I got COVID and tried to cancel but Hotel One is a rip off! Beware, always make sure you are booking from the hotel site not these no refund jerks

Overall, my experience was satisfactory. I didn't expect that the payment would be taken in full from my credit card at the time of booking as this has never happened in the past.

DO NOT BOOK WITH THEM. Horrible customer service. I booked 8 rooms for my company and notified them that I would be calling back with the corporate card. When I called back, they could not switch the credit card for the reservation without canceling and charging me almost $100 more per night per room. DO NOT USE HotelsOne.com
