My husband I also made reservations through hotels.com and experience the most horrific service a consumer could ever imagine! We are still working on getting the refund for the reservation, not to mention the other charges that my bank assessed in overages because of their negligence!

We went to Atlanta for the weekend for my husband's birthday. Originally we were only staying Friday and Saturday night. Then we thought it would be a good idea to stay Sunday night also.

We called hotels.com to set things up for an additional night, but they gave a rate that doubled the first one. I told the representative at that moment: I didn't agree to the fees so DO NOT proceed the reservation, and he stated okay not a problem. However, he did completely process it and sent a confirmation email also.

I called the company 12 times ( no exageration)!

Several times I was hung up on, several times the rep. would say the request has been processed and twice the reps. stated the refund has been granted and will be posted to my account within 3-5 business days. A credit was posted to my bank account and then recharged within the next two minutes. I still have not received a credit for the second charge. Out of curiousity, I called the hotel where I was staying only for them to tell me that the company did not cancel the reservations!

I think this is horrible and no hard working customer should ever have to experience such!

I am just trying to figure out other than reporting them to BBB, what can I do to get what I feel is rightfully due to me?

I booked a room with hotels.com, using my debit card. It was not ev ident when booking, that they were going to instantly take out the entire amount of my 5 day stay from my account. Meaning, I'm sure they mentioned it somewhere in very small print, but not evident at all. I also got an email with my confirmation # and all.

Then, a little while later, I get an email telling me that the property that I booked is not available. This is the property that I needed, and I would not have booked with them if it was not available!! But here's the real clincher... They keep my money!!!! They tell me that it will be up to 30 days before I get it back. I am livid!! This is a lot of money to me. They are making money off from my money for doing nothing!! They instantly take the entire stay out of my account, and then tell me that they do not have a room for mE and they will not give me my money back for up to a month!! What a SCAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, to top it all off.... I've called them 3 times now trying to get an email confirmation of my cancellation and each time they tell me it's on it's way. Still no email. )-:
