If you are reading this it’s hopefully not too late Website to book impersonating hotel site- no third party logo and hotel name in web address. Booking defaulted to the current date as I tried to confirm booking. Nightmare trying to get through to someone via telephone- robot not understanding ‘yes’ in standard English accent. Put through to customer services and was advised unable to refund and reschedule for correct date. When queried they hung up on me. Phone company informed me call had cost £10.

SCAM They are a phishing organisation who somehow - so far - slipped through the US law despite class action law suits being filed against them. They masquerade as the hotel's website, making you believe that you book directly with the hotel. They do not show full prices before directing you to the card details page. They politely answer because they have prepared all the responses already when they set up their practices that should be illegal to start with. Upon contacting the hotel, the personnel told me they did not even receive my reservation nor any money. Getaroom's cancellation costs more that the room itself that they say are "processing fees" - I ask, what processing, when they did not even contact the hotel nor sent any money? Avoid this organisation at all cost and double check what address you book on, hotels would never direct you to this shady website.

Stay away from these thieves!!! Stay away from these thieves!!!! Booked on the Hotel website. The booking was somehow intercepted by Getaroom. Amount deducted from credit card was double the amount offered on website. Called the Hotel and was informed that booking was made by Agoda. This company somehow hacked my booking.

Getaroom-the Company that LIES I have a cancellation code 561804442 directly from the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Newcastle which arises out of an unexpected death in the family. I was surprised to find the booking had been routed through Getaroom so contacted them to obtain the rebate the hotel agreed. A "customer care person" Sourabh Singh lied in the exchange saying the monies had been paid to Crowne Plaza, denied by the hotel. I've better things to do with an unexpected family bereavement to chase down £100.67 but there is something very wrong indeed about Getaroom, I.ve noted the many references to scam on reviews and add my name to a long list of the cheated by this Company

GETAROOM SCAMMERS Booked 3 rooms for two nights with breakfast after searching on hotel website but it seems getaroom jumps in during booking, sort of cuckoos and you end up going through them rather than hotel website, my booking with hotel should have been £730 we ended up costing £1012.92. We had to pay for breakfasts plus whatever commission they took which in my opinion is an outright scam, in fact I would say criminal. How can you be booking through Holiday inn then end up paying through getaroom, they sneaked in somehow. NEVER EVER BOOK THROUGH THEM check your online booking before you pay as they have other names it looks like from other reviews. The hotel said it has happened before as we were in reception another couple had the very same thing happen to them.
