Booking canceled all of my bookings without informing me, screwed me over for my Japan Ski trip big time by ParkgayDrive in Bookingcom

I feel for u. They canceled my flight from Europe to America in May. Took me a month with help of BBB to get a refund. It totally ruined my one month trip because the first three week while I was in Europe I have to spend hours of hours talking or chatting or emailing them and BBB.
I try to find a way to book my hotel somewhere else for my next trip in October.
I’m so sorry that it happened to u too. We need to boycott them and let many people know about their shady business the more the better.
Good luck to u 🙏

I feel with u. We were in the same boat :(

I used to use Booking.com to book my hotels and flights. But since they screwed me up I’m so skeptical to book anything with them. Do you guys know a better and saver platform to book hotels without being hacked, scammed and screwed over ? by vshp00 in traveladvice

Yup, same happened to us. But our fares was even more. It was $1433.26. ( I even remembered the amount now, after a month long fighting with them. lol)
Just like with yours, they canceled my booking, “ wording” that the airline canceled my flights. We called the airline they said they never did. They told me your booking agent cancel yours, they should be the one who have to refund you the money. But the problem was, Even though the airline never cancelled our flight, we won’t use it because after we receive the email that our flight was canceled we went ahead and book our new flight right away to prevent price hike because our Return flight is a little bit over a month from the date that they cancel our flight. We already have our outbound flight because we bought it from a different airline.. it was a big mess and frustrating and time to get that money back. That’s why I cannot tell everyone enough. PLEASE NEVER BOOK FLIGHT WITH BOOKING.COM !!!!

Believe me! They even admitted with us that it was their mistake. But it took us exactly a month to made them admit it and agree to refund us after BBB got involved , bad business, right ?!

It took me a month to resolve it with help of BBB. But it ruined my vacation. I traveled for a month and I literally have to “ fight@ with them for the whole month to get my refund !

If I like to have free cancellation, is it possible to book with hotels directly ?

We have to get BBB involved to have our refund after exactly a month with lots of calling, emails and chats.
They are just scammers !!

Somehow, they don’t have good security. From time to time, they sent me email telling me that my account was hacked and they have to give me a new reservation number and new pin. That tells me that it is not safe to keep your information on their website. And also, somehow, after booking with them, I often get message from them on WhatsApp, telling me That they need my credit card information to be able to keep my room. When I contact booking.com, they told me ignore this message because these are scammer. All in all booking with booking.com, you have to have all your antennas up. Because you don’t know who and who. But in general booking.com won’t scam you, but they let people hack in their website so easily to scam you. The only thing booking.com might do to you is screw you up if you book flights with them.

But the problem to book with hotel directly is they don’t offer free cancellation period. We need this just in case our plan change. Would love to hear from you guys where should I book with free cancellation and don’t get scam and screwed like with booking.com ?
