GBMisleading price quoted Searched for a hotel using Google. This looked like the official website for the hotel I was looking for. Appeared to quote £95 for 2 days I wanted. Accepted that and booked/paid. £191 taken out Hotel rooms £126.80 Tax Recovery Charges & Service Fees £65.04 Amount Paid £191.84 Tried immediately to cancel but told nonrefundable. £126 for the rooms is actually reasonable but the extra charges are ridiculous! #####update##### Contacted by customer services who offered some compensation due to lack of clarity. They were very quick to respond to review. Updated to 3* due to that response. I will have to pay a lot more attention in future.

GBThis company is a complete scam This company is a complete scam. They masquerade as the hotel's website, then when you book you find all sorts of fees added that you never expected. When you try to cancel they claim there is a no cancellation policy. So you're stuck. Try to dispute the charge and they tell your bank you are erroneously trying to get around paying for the room that you agreed to. COMPLETE SCAMMERS.

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.

GBGetaroom-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

GBBeware!! Scam!! This must be criminal? Thought I was making reservation through booking.com. Somehow it was redirected. Reservation was supposed to be $327.37. After I gave credit card info they charged $442 and over a$10O in “Tax Recovery and Service”. Have screenshots. Tried to cancel immediately and rebook with Booking.com but it was now “prepaid” Tried to call no one answers. Email response was basically auto reply. The hotel clerk was upset, said she couldn’t do anything because they are “3rd party” After the fact I’ve read this a common practice by Getaroom. This must be criminal or certainly a horrid way to treat people.
