I'm writing to you after posting the following review: Let's rename this place the UNfriendly Inn. We arrived from Maine for a whirlwind overnight stay in the Boston area so our time was limited. One other reviewer said he was annoyed b/c the door was locked and he had to wait 10 min. before anyone appeared.

We waited in front of the locked door on the porch for 45 minutes - glad it wasn't winter. When we arrived at 1:30, we found another customer who had preceded us and was also waiting. that she missed. We had been told previously in an email that we could drop off our bags prior to 2 o'clock check-in and the desk was always staffed.

We made numerous phone calls to the Inn from both cellphone and the outside phone with no answer. With our vacation ticking away about 45 minutes later…

My husband, Mike Porter, myself, (Elizabeth Porter) and our traveling companion, Raleigh Sheffield booked 11 different lodging locations on Booking.com during the first part of June this year for our stay in Paris, Bayeux, Amboise, Arles, Antibes, Monterosso al Mare, (Cinque Terre), Florence, Milan, Como, Interlaken and Paris again. We were very pleased with all of our experiences with the exception of the property in Lake Como, listed as Sogno Deluxe Bellagio, Via Lungolario, Manzone 8, 22021 Bellagio, ITA. That address, I might add, is the address of the ticket office for the ferryboat and is shown as such on Google Maps. The following is a description of our unsatisfactory…

I was booked for 2 queen size beds, but the booking assistant texted me that they contact the Motel 6 in San Antonio,Texas & wait for 48 hours. The manager said they never got the message about the change. Oh!

I put I'm hoping for a king size in texting. That manager still charged me for 2 queens . To me, it was unfair to be charged for something I didn't want at all. Plus I didn't confirm this reservation for 2 queens.

Was double booked twice! Then eventually relocated to a property not as good as the one we first booked and more expensive. Kept my £395 for 3 days on the second double booking which meant I couldnt afford to book anywhere else so because it was getting close to the date we were going away, in desperation I booked a cottage that they finally (after many emails & calls at my expense) found me to find that whilst they told me it had a hot tub, it turns out it's a communal hot tub not a private hot tub as with our previous TWO bookings!

4. Upon arrival, we found the rooms dirty, in need of repair, and not even close to the pictures depicted on the internet booking site. Needless to say my group was unwilling to stay, so I attempted to cancel our reservation.

The front desk said I had to cancel through the booking site. I was unable to cancel through the booking site due to a time restraint.

Also, I was unable to talk to anyone directly at booking site without making a transatlantic call to the Netherlands. com. Please be advised that that I will be pursuing this through my credit card company. Thank You.

I was wrongly billed by Motel 6. I was told at check-out that they would correct this but they haven't. They billed the stay to two different credit cards and overcharged me for one night when they gave me prior permission to cancel it. They told me to call you but your voice mail would not let me through to an agent, AFTER WAITING ALMOST AN HOUR. I feel I have been swindled without any recourse but talking about this on social media such as Facebook and twitter. Can you help at all or is this a complete swindle?

Please contact me at the email above. You can also call me at 415-7949617. .

To whom it concern,

I’m submitting this complaint as my wife was stranded in Hartford, CT from a flight from Guam to see her mother on emergency leave.

My wife arrived at the third party company (car rental - Thrifty) which was told initially she could not be located in the system. My wife showed her the voucher which shows all the information but still could not be found. The agent was rude and told my wife she will have to contact Booking.com. Due to living in Guam with no cell phone provider, my wife asked can the lady assist. She eventually helped my wife and told her the reservation was canceled. My wife presented her the required voucher which shows she was due to pick up the vehicle at 7:30 pm. The company had 7:00 am which canceled her reservation. My wife re-showed the voucher…

I had booked a hotel at 'Four Points Sheraton at Wakefield' for 5 nights. Booking number:3448553826 (Aug, 20 - 25) I had booked the "Business Room, Guest room, 1 King" for $137.40 per night. I was expecting a double room accomodation during my stay.

However, when I reached the Hotel, they said they don't have a double room as mentioned above. I was given their regular room, which should have costed less. I had to endure 5 days cramped in that one room with my kids, while I was expecting a bigger room, which I had paid for.

Please reimburse me at least one night of my booking ($137.40) for my trouble. I have been a booking.com customer for a while and would like to stay that way. Thank you for your time.

We booked a hotel through you picking the non cancelation option to save a little money knowing if we broke our end of the deal we would still be charged. When we got to our hotel they didn't have records of our reservation.

It wasn't the employees fault nor ours but they weren't apologetic at all or even try to help us. We spent an hour and a half on the phone trying to reach a live person at booking and then waiting on hold while that person tried to work with hotel to get us a room which they were unsuccessful so

then had to wait while they helped find another hotel which he did thankfully but it was further away, more money and not as nice. 3 kids got cranky cause they were hungry and tired of waiting. This was not our fault we held our end of the bargain.

I was very disappointed in the condition of the hotel Quality Inn on Market St. we booked for our weekend in Wilmington NC. The photos on your website are very misleading.

the unit was standing with water, bathroom was not clean. the window to the room was filthy. 00 for this dump of a hotel room. We canceled our reservations on site. This was the most horrible hotel I have ever been to and will NEVER refer it to anyone or the usage of your services.

this meant my husband and I had no where to stay. We eventually found a premier inn to find out we could only stay one night at a cost of £156 without breakfast, we had to find accommodation for the following night of which we thankfully did at another cost of £135.

The extra's that we ended up having to pay for ate at our spending money, to the point we couldn't go out for food at anywhere nice, we had to McDonalds and Sainsburys to eat. I have received the £130 back but I want the other monies back as compensation for this…

I booked a rental car via rentalcar.com. They connected me to Europcar at George Best Airport in Belfast, N Ireland. I have two complaints with these people.

1 They doubled charged me for a satellite navigation system. The car they rented me had a built in Satellite Navigation System and then they charged me 12 pounds 50 per day for it also. Fraud.

2 They have just informed me that there is damage to one of the tires and they want to charge me for it. The agent who checked the metal exterior of the car with me at pick up definitely did not check the tires and frankly I have never had to check tires before. I did not damage the tires when I had the car. Nor was there any other damage to the car.

The rental return directions at G Best City Airport are terrible.

Cannot remove the only star, will give this booking a zero. Booking,com needs to get its act together and verify weather a guest house means what it says and not send people to a doss house like the one we were sent to in Cardiff.

We demand our money back and will be taking this to the small claims court with the pictures we have taken of the place we were sent to by this company. When we arrived we could not get in because no one was there to meet us.

After phoning the owner on the phone gave us the number of the digital locks into the property and into the allocated room. Boy what a room. No TV no tea making, not much of anything. The room itself was just about big enough for a cat to reside in.

Décor, door handle, bed and other, needs to be looked at. The proverbial building works…
