Borderline 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 .

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.

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

Misleading 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.
