easy to book but hard to deal with

Booked a holiday with this company and one month before gave them a notice that I wanted to cancel my booking. They refused me in it and refused in a refund, saying that this is not according to their policy. This is ridiculous! Tried to exchange the date and they refused me again! Beware, this company is not customer friendly!

fake booking, took my money and gave my room to someone else

This company doesn't care of their booking services. I booked a room in their hotel and when I arrived it was already busy. They never explained me what happened and gave me another room which was smaller and cheaper and never refunded me money which I paid for booking and the difference between prices for room. I will never use their services again!

EasyToBook? NOT! Rather a NIGHTMARE!

Easytobook.com an OXYMORON to say the least….NIGHTMARE to say the most!

First off, I’m in the USA and the dates I plugged into their online booking system, for a 3 night hotel stay for late August , also USA, magically changed by one day SOONER on the arrival and departure dates upon completing the transaction! ….stupid me, expecting an “easytobook” transaction, I did not catch that until after I discovered it 2 days later from the print-out of the booking confirmation page I made at the time of the booking. But, I thought how hard can this be to fix…as per the “easytobook” contract there were NO CANCELLATION FEES of any kind and this was not a cancellation anyway, and, per the hotel, the dates, were doable…I just needed them slid ONE DAY FORWARD.

Booked on Thurs. night July 25th., and starting the following Sun. I began to attempt to rectify the above mentioned situation, therein is the genesis of my NIGHTMARE.

HERE’S WHAT HAPPENED in the FIFTEEN days after the erroneous booking (no fault of my own) on July 25th.

I spent approx. 6 hours of my time, 10 phone calls (both to EASYTOBOOK and the hotel) with like 14 attempts (all failed attempts with EASYTOBOOK) and 5 emails later and the situation has only been PARTIALLY corrected. Please READ ON to understand why only “PARTIALLY”.

SUNDAY, July 28th, 2013:
I confirmed I never got a booking confirmation email even though the website stated it had been sent AND I even used their “re-send” button several times to insure I would get at least one…NOTHING. So I emailed them Sunday, of which, the website states you have to wait up to 48 hours for a reply…OH, but wait, what if time is of the essence? Which it was, so, I attempted to call the customer service number…..crickets….I would let it ring 20, 30 40 times NO ONE ever picked up.

MONDAY, July 29th, 2013:
I started calling the hotel. The hotel had a record of the booking but stated that the booking company was EXPEDIA not this “EASYTOBOOK.COM, and that I would have to deal with them. So, I called EXPEDIA, they stated I would have to deal with EASYTOBOOK.COM. …that they, EXPEDIA, were simply the booking company…but aren’t they, too, making money off my transaction?

So I just went full circle…but wait TIME WAS OF THE ESSENCE because I was booking a hotel for a convention in 4 weeks and rooms were going up and going away.

So to cover myself, I booked, directly with the hotel, the 3rd and final day being needed so now all I would have to do with “EASYTOBOOK.COM” is simply “cancel” just ONE day (the first day) of the THREE day original booking, now how hard could that be….OMG, I was about to find out.

So I continued to try calling EASYTOBOOK.COM…crickets! I continued with emails asking for a “booking confirmation” and a change of dates request ( to cancel the one day of the three), ….any reply? …nada, zip, nunca, NOTHING!

TUESDAY, July 30th, 2013:
I called the hotel again, they stated they had NOT received a “fax” from EASYTOBOOK / EXPEDIA for ANYTHING on my behalf pertaining to changes. So, I tried calling the “EASYTOBOOK.COM” customer service number again……CRICKETS! …despite letting it ring dozens of times each time I tried.

WEDNESDAY, July 31st, 2013:
Called the hotel, they stated they STILL HAD NOT received a “fax” requesting the change of days for my reservation. So, I called EXPEDIA and pleaded my case and begged for help. The supervisor at EXPEDIA placed a call on my behalf to EASYTOBOOK.COM and VIOLA I got a customer service rep. Immediately. Gee, go figure, what has EXPEDIA got that I don’t in relation to EASYTOBOOK, oh I found out later THEY (Expedia) allegedly own EASYTOBOOK!

The lady at EASYTOBOOK assured me they had “faxed” the change request to the hotel. So, I called the hotel to verify. THE HOTEL STATED NO “FAX” HAD BEEN RECEIVED! Hmmm???? Someone is either misled or lying!

So now, I called the EASYTOBOOK.COM customer service number, AGAIN, and this time I let it ring about 80 times, LO AND BEHOLD, SOMEONE PICKED UP! This lady told me they were waiting to hear back from the hotel….I informed her the hotel had just assured me no “fax” had been received….going in circles again. I asked her why I should have to wait for this process to play out as “TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE” and it’s just an “EASYTOBOOK” dropping of ONE DAY of the THREE day reservation. She informed me that they needed permission from the hotel to drop that “one day”. HUH????? I paid EASYTOBOOK, they pay the hotel, plus don’t forget, they advertised NO CANCELLATION fees 72 hours or more out, I’m out THREE WEEKS and this is not a cancellation per se, so why do they need permission from the hotel??????

AND, it’s not like I was asking for a room date that was not available at the time, and that they were waiting for availability….just cancel the requested day, the end.

But NOOOOOO, what was really going on, folks, is that there are THREE LAYERS involved here that are dipping there greedy little hands into the process. This poorly ran, OVERSEAS company, EASYTOBOOK.COM, then EXPEDIA and then the hotel. Everybody wants their money and everybody points the finger at the other. NET RESULT, I got abused and fell threw the cracks.

But, I fault, EASYTOBOOK.COM 100%. My contract was with them, they are suppose to service me per their “terms and conditions” which have NO MENTION of them having to wait for the hotel (for anything) much less to notify them of such a simple request of dropping one day off a three day reservation. And they proclaim a 48 hr. or less reply, NOT TRUE!

And, in reality, the 2 ladies I talked to at EASYTOBOOK told varying stories of what was allegedly really going on. AND both stated emails had, indeed, been sent to me….BUT, I CHECK MY EMAILS AT MY SERVER SITE…including the SPAM FILTER and VIRUS BLOCKER (at the server site)….NO EMAILS from them!

AMAZINGLY though, I asked the first lady I talked to at EASYTOBOOK.COM, on Weds., to email my now SEVEN DAY LATE “booking confirmation” right then and there….and VIOLA, it arrived instantly. HMMMMMMM?????

And, I still HAVE NOT received REPLY EMAILS (as mandated by their own terms) concerning my other three emails I sent earlier in the week requesting the previously mentioned changes.

FRIDAY, Aug. 9th, 2013, after two more phone calls, (1 on the 7th, one on the 9th), I finally got an email (dated July 31st) validating my cancelling the ONE of the THREE DAYS hotel booking.

TUESDAY, Sept. 10th, 2013 (FORTY-ONE DAYS after the cancellation), and I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED MY REFUND for the cancelled day even though I was told it takes 7-30 days to process and send the refund. So now, I’m letting my credit card company handle it. STAY AWAY FOLKS….EasyToBook.com is NOT EASY, it’s a RIP-OFF!

BOTTOM LINE: Seems nothing adds up OR RATHER nothing is what it seems with this EASYTOBOOK.COM company. EASY TO BOOK my BUTT …LOL, yeah rrrrriiiight!!! I WILL NEVER USE THEM AGAIN…I don’t approve of their smoke-and-mirror tactics and I certainly can’t afford the time or aggravation.

Refusing Refund

I have called them tried to confirm my reservation and found out it was in a completely different city than I had intended to stay so I tried to call them and got a voice mail that told me to call back during business hours. So I tried to call the actual hotel where I made the wrong reservation and was told that I would have to call Expedia, so I called them and after 25 minutes of being on hold I was disconnected. So tried again and was reconnected with Easytobook.com and was denied my refund because I didn't call Easytobook.com before calling the hotel. I am so beyond ticked and will never be using either site again for any reason nor will I refer them to anyone.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY EVER

i used Trivago to search for a one night stay at the Airport Hotel in Panama City. I was directed to EasytoBook.com as having the best price and availability for my stay.. Of course there was the usual "pressure" to book immediately as only a few rooms left,and guarantees ect.. The room was booked and confirmed in writing when paid. I have never used either Trivago or EasytoBook before, and after learning the next day that they unceremoniously cancelled my reservation with no explanation, i will never use them again.. The room rate is of course gone, and now i am left to scramble to find another room.

Do Not Use these people for your travel plans.. They did not even have the courtesy to answer my email inquiry as to what was the problem. Now i will do battle with them to get my money back, but i do not easily go away.

They stink and i hope this and the other reviews convince you to stay away.

WATCH what they charge

Booked a room in Florida for December 2015 through Trivago which went to easytobook. Charged to my credit card & waited for it to go through. Message came back that card was denied. Just then my credit card co. phoned me to ask if the charges were made by me in the amount of $442.34. I told them I had made the charge but the amount should have been $393.23. Told them to deny the charge & I would contact easytobook. My phone rang & it was easytobook calling about the denied charge. Asked why the charge was $442.34 & not the $393.23 that was showed on the computer. The person I was talking to said that maybe my bank was charging fees as the money was going to a bank in Amsterdam. Told him my bank was not charging fees & that easytobook was increasing the amount for some reason. Later that evening received an email from easytobook saying they were looking into my query & should expect a reply from their end within 24 hours. It is now 3 days later & still no reply. Watch out for this company increasing your charge without your knowledge. I would not have caught this unless my bank called or when I received my monthly statement. I will NEVER use Trivago again as long as payment goes through easytobook.

Cannot get my refund on cancelled reservation

Cancelled my reservation within the guidelines and have still not received my refund. Paypal will not redeposit my money and easytobook says they're research ways to get my refund to me. They're foreign and apparently have no way to wire me my money. Baloney! How do they pay the hotels? They've never attempted to contact me and when I call them to check on my refund they'll then bring up the next problem they are facing. They never both to inform you unless you call.
