GBDon't book with Getaroom I thought I was booking a room via The Travelodge website, but it was actually Getaroom posing as the hotel. Super dodgy! Once I had booked and placed the payment, the amount taken from my card was almost double what it should have been. I immediately called their customer service number, but couldn't speak to an actual human, just a robot. No matter what option I selected, I was unable to speak to any customer service rep to provide help! Don't book with getaroom.

GBBEWARE BEWARE! Getaroom.com is an illegitimate business. Just reported them to Better Business. They go by many names, I booked through their alias Guest Reservations. They are owned by Bookings Holdings. They show the same price as everyone else but when the charge goes through it was $200 dollars more and non refundable 10 minutes after the booking. No other site was non refundable for this hotel for that night and every other site said the taxes were $57. I was booking for my daughter who was attending a funeral of a 20 year old friend. No hotel should be allowing this company to book their rooms.

GBAppear to be scammers Update: Their customer service responded quickly. I was unable to answer the phone when they called so they sent an email advising a refund of $31.01. I’m not sure how they arrived at the amount. It’s a little better than half that I figured I over paid, but enough to settle the dust. I do give their customer service credit for good service, they are anxious to have the negative star rating removed. So to be fair, I have changed my star rating to a three, meeting them at the half way point as they did my refund. —————————— I’d say, by the time you are reading this, you are already a victim. Unknown at the time, somehow, during the reservation call to the hotel, this company takes over the call and you’re actually booking thru them. I didn’t realize this until checked out and saw charges on my invoice for a room that had already been paid for when booked. When I saw this, the hotel clerk saw that getaroom.com had actually made the booking. They said this happens fairly often, you call the hotel reservation number and unknown to you during a transfer, they capture the call. I now realize I overpaid for my room, $174 vs. $134 and was charged a $8.99 reservation fee. I see, compared to others reviews, I was lucky to only be overcharged nearly $50 but it’s still a scam and needs to be called out. They are hijacking the call and charging more than the hotel would charge, all under the cover of deceiving you. Playing back the events of the call, I thought it strange how much they stressed my reservation and any charges were non refundable. If their customer service needs to investigate, my confirmation number was: 82576091.
