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.

GBSCAM 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.

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

GBThink con-job. Encourage everyone to report to BBB. Think con-job. Thrives on deceptive marketing, having their company appear before the actual hotel direct booking link. My dad (im his 70s) booked a room through what he thought was The Comfort Inn (had the logo at the top of the page), where we've stayed for years, after checking out and being charged a $100.00 fee, he realized it was a third party and canceled immediately. Turns out you can cancel, but the cancelation is non-refundable.
