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.

ISBorderline scammers without a doubt Borderline scammers without a doubt ! As posted , excessive so called tax retrieval and service charges , disguised as an official hotel website . Read the small print ! switching to their website is cleverly camouflaged when on a google search …avoid avoid ! Check ceo,s Cv and background no real surprises .

GBIf 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.

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.

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.
