“Got scared by the reviews but everything worked out fine”

I booked a hotel on Traveluro for a cheaper rate. I later found this review and was worried about the legitemacy of the service. In the end, all worked out as expected, so it's not all bad.

“Traveluro is scam”

Ahzam A.
8/20/24

SCAM SCAM. Went to hotel on the day and traveluro hadn't sent our booking to the hotel at all. Called customer service with international number with huge roaming cost and was told it would be rectified. Called again & Was told twice that an agent would call me back but no result. Stuck at hotel for last 3 hours waiting for their response. Not sure if I book another hotel in higher price now and have to follow them up for refund. Better to avoid them.

The hotel I booked never received payment from Traveluro. I was then charged by Traveluro and hotel. When calling Traveluro customer service no one answers, phone just keeps ringing. Do not use this company and if by mistake you do, be prepared to file a charge dispute!

I booked a week stay in Florida and minutes later received an email saying someone booked that room "SECONDS" before me so I lost out and they are refunding my money. There are plenty of rooms available for my dates per the hotel so Traveluro lied. They simply had low rates that were not acceptable by the hotel. Now we wait on a refund. They take your money in seconds and who knows when I get it back

I'm not one for one-star reviews. They're often rants, and often about minor issues. With Traveluro, the issue is bigger: I made a reservation (via Kayak) with them at a San Francisco hotel, and when I got to the hotel they had no record of the reservation. Efforts to contact Traveluro resulted in an hour on the phone. Not "an hour." An actual hour. I was on hold 40 minutes, spoke to a representative who assured he'd deal with the problem, then put me back on hold for another 20 minutes before disconnecting me. Thankfully, I was able to make a new booking directly at the hotel (at a higher price). Traveluro did eventually contact the hotel... but still never put through the reservation. In fact, they gave me my "new" confirmation number -- which the hotel informed me was the reservation the *hotel* had made. I will notify Kayak to the effect that Traveluro should not be one of the travel entities on their aggregator site.

Tip for consumers:
Just... don't.

I was on the phone for 28 minutes. Agent was trying to explain to me how "shared bathroom" is only shared if I have a companion with me…
After insisting I don't want a room with a shared bathroom he promised that he changed it to a private bathroom, just to get the email confirmation that it's a Shared Bathroom.

Also, he promised that the final price includes any and all fees. Surprise surprise! There was an additional fee on top of the price, tax and fees that they quoted on the phone.

Do yourself a favor, book with a trusted company that doesn't play games and is upfront with you about any and all applicable fees.

Tip for consumers:
Don’t use this site to book hotel rooms (or anything else).

Recently used Traveluro to book my stay at the Hilton in Rosemont. The booking went smoothly, and I received a voucher and everything. When I checked into the hotel, my reservation was set up, and marked as prepaid. However, Traveluro never paid the hotel. I received a call from the front desk that I had to settle the bill, as Traveluro declined my stay and canceled the transaction. Meanwhile, Traveluro stated that my stay was confirmed and active. Fortunately, I used one of my credit cards to book with them. Traveluro would not respond to my emails or calls, except to send me confirmation emails. After sending a receipt of payment where I personally paid the hotel to my credit card, the credit card dealt with Traveluro. They got me a refund, but it was only after I paid double for the room. Save time, don't use Traveluro.

They will book the hotel, but not pay

Booked a room through them. Ascend in Marin. This is an unsafe motel. There rooms were red tagged by the county and there were homeless sleeping in the back. I asked to be refunded and they gave me a cancel number and a phone number to call. They could not even do it there. The phone number led me to 5 different scam numbers. Don't stay here.

I seldom write reviews but I felt compelled to help others that may search before using Traveluro. Unfortunately I did not. They are impossible to get a hold of for days and their support and "escalation" team are useless and powerless.

Waste of time and money.

NEVER AGAIN.

Tried to cancel hotel reservation 4 days in advance due to Covid-19. Emailed customer service with no response so I called and was told that someone would reply to me within 12 to 24 hours and of course that never happened. This is a BAD company and I would stay clear of them!

Scam company and will not give refunds during hurricane Ian

We cannot leave because we were in the middle of the hurricane and requested if they can give us a refund or credit which we will use for the company they ignored a request and stalled on the emails and said it is not possible. No ethics with this company especially during a hurricane where we cannot even travel and flights were cancelled. This is a company you Gotta be very cautious if by chance something happens in your looking to add the company for some assistance especially during a hurricane they absolutely will not be helpful and is a poorly run company

I was in the airport yesterday, which turned into one of the worst days in flight history with all the cancellations...including my flight. My friend and I had planned a trip to Vegas having never been. We booked a hotel via Traveluro and were so excited! Then our plane was canceled with no flight in sight to go out. I called Traveluro 3 times and all I got was a loop in recordings. It even said to "stay on the line to speak to someone" and nothing happened. I chose another option after calling several times. All it did was ring. I got on the website and sent a message to customer service. NOTHING. I firmly believe, like many other reviewers, that this so called company is a SCAM. Customer service is nonexistent. I will never go through them again. It was an expensive lesson that makes me sick to even think about right now.

I made a booking online by clicking the wrong date snd called to ask for an amendment. They first told they need to escalate the request to the reservation team and asked to check the email in an hour for an update. And they would say that the request can't be processed due to their policy. Even the hotel is willing to make the changes. After a few hours of back and forth they would still say no. Don't ever use this website book hotel again and they would never care about this too

I came down with COVID the week that I was supposed to travel, so I tried to push our hotel reservation back. The hotel said I had to contact Traveluro, so I first tried the website, and it said that it was non-refundable, and would not let me change the dates. So I called Traveluro and followed the prompts to talk to the right agent, and then it connected and hung up. I continued to try and, each time, it connected and I got hung up on. So I reached out to them again through the website in case it was an error, but did not hear back. I'm in the process of blocking the charge on my card because this isn't right. Big takeaway: never do nonrefundable reservations (if you can avoid it).

Prepaid for a hotel room through Traveluro. Upon check in, hotel advised that Traveluro didn't pay them, so I had to pay hotel directly. Emailed Traveluro twice with no reply. Called them while checking in and waited 45 minutes on the phone with no one answering. DON"T USE THEM. I even have an email from the hotel saying that no payment from traveluro was received which is why they charged me directly. No refund from Traveluro and no return call or email. Stay away.

Due to Hurricane Ian, we were not able to make our reservations. Even though our hotel was able to reward a full refund to Traveluro, there was no response from the company to negotiate a partial refund for services not rendered. We have used many booking services and this is by far the least responsive.

Tip: Book directly with the Hotel.

A fraudulent service of a company. Have travelled numerous times and booking a reservation with this company has been by the far the worst experience of my life. Despite the hotel being accommodating the people at traveluro refuse to do any real work when making and changing a reservation. Called numerous times for them to just hang up on me and pretend that they can no longer hear me. Emailed plenty of times and they do not respond. Terrible people and terrible service. Avoid booking with them at all costs regardless of the price. They will ruin your entire trip and waste a lot of your time. Stay a way!

After booking my hotel I was scared after seeing all the negative reviews. It all ended up being okay though. Just maybe call your hotel and check they got the reservation before you just show up. Got the same hotel but for 400 dollars cheaper!

So when I went to book a hotel for our destination, it reverted to the city we reside. As soon as I clicked submit, I realized it. I called immediately and MULTIPLE times afterwards. There was NO answer. I tried emailing. There was NO response. Finally I got ahold of someone when I clicked to "verify my reservation." They would not cancel my reservation, nor would they let me change it to the city were traveling to. So now I'm stuck paying for a hotel room in the city I live.

I booked a room 4 hours before arriving at the hotel to find out they didn't have my reservation. I call when I got there and was told I would have a confirmation number in an email in 15 mins. 30 mins later I called asking about that email, I was told to wait 15 mins and I'll have it they assured me. I called 30 mins later and was told the same thing, I called 20 mins later and was told 5 mins. Then I get an email 2 mins later telling me that they can make the reservation, they will refund my money and give me a $25 discount the next time I book with them. Meanwhile, I had to drive 1 hour away to get a room because the city was booked just to drive back in the morning to work. 25 M@@#$ Fu#& dollars for them taking over 5 1/2 to tell me they didn't do what they took money for. Avoid this service
