Expedia's reputation is significantly marred by widespread customer dissatisfaction, primarily stemming from poor customer service and issues with booking accuracy. Many customers report difficulties in reaching live support, leading to frustrations over incorrect reservations, unexpected charges, and inadequate responses to cancellations. While some users appreciate the variety of options available through the platform, the overall sentiment reflects a lack of trust due to perceived unethical practices and inadequate support during critical situations. This feedback suggests a pressing need for Expedia to enhance its customer service responsiveness and transparency to rebuild consumer confidence.

Expedia.com an average site, although like many sites is too packed with stuff which makes it confusing to find what you want. Contact the site admin directly or contact customer support team through chat or call. If they are available online you will correct solutions for your problem. This site drawback no exchange facilities and low branch only. This company not consider to the customer’s needs and wants. So when you are purchasing the items be careful. They are also not providing offers and discount facilities.
That won't cause a problem at all. I always book airline tickets with my first and last name only, or sometimes with my middle initial, but my ID has my full middle name. I fly a hundred times a year and never book a ticket with my middle name. I never book through Expedia.com but that won't matter. I presumed it was something like this but just checking. Thank you.
Their "trip insurance" is a joke. I purchased a round-trip ticket for $389 and the insurance in case I needed to make any changes to the trip. The insurance was $28. Not only would I have to pay for the change up front and file a claim through their insurance, the cost of the change would be $359! When I told them that price was ridiculous and asked for a supervisor, they hung up on me. When I contacted them back, I was told I would have to make the change through the airline, U.S. Airways, who quoted me $759 to make the change. Really? When I became upset and, yes, sarcastic, I was hung up on.
Expedia is simply a middleman between you and the airline company, that's all.
There's nothing wrong with expedia until you need to call customer service up. They have arguably one of the worst customer service departments I've ever experienced. Imagine being out on hold for over an hour whilst you're in a foreign country, and racking up over 50 USDs, only to be hanged up on. Because of their unwillingness to invest in decent customer service, and my previous bad experiences with online travel agents, I've made the decision now to only use their services as a search engine to find out which airlines offer the most competitive deals, and then I go directly to the airlines website to purchase tickets. They have better customer service departments that qctually care about their customers, and don't have these massive eaiting cues.
Its very similar to many of the other travel sites. I think it because they often offer deals I cannot get else where. For instance, I booked a room in Cabo and they gave me $50 off. Pretty good!
You might pay more for the tickets but the after service is much better than other sites.
I love expedia! I book all of my trips through them because I can get the best deal around and I can also view the photos of hotels. I can also review past guest experiences with the hotels which is the best of all!
Every single time I travel with a booking thru Expedia, it has been a bad experience. In fact, it is SO bad that I plan to pay off my balance and cut up my card.
I spent over 2 hours with them on the phone and they would keep dropping the call only to find that when I printed out my travel itenirary THEY HAD BOOKED ME INTO THE WRONG CITY! So, the I have to spend another 2 hours right before I was getting ready to leave the country for almost a month… They kept transferring me to different people, who I had to give THE EXACT INFORMATION about my trip and what was the problem is (why doesn't the first person I speak to start a file so the other agents have the information right in front of them?) and on and on on, ad nauseam. The people they have working there are dumb as rocks.
It was s completely unsatisfactory… and I am even having trouble with them AFTER my trip is over. OMGawd! Never again will I use Expedia for ANYTHING!
I have booked many trips on expedia before and luckily never encountered any problem so far. I booked a hotel recently through expedia but I did not like the hotel so when I tried leave a negetive feedback on expedia about the hotel, it did not let me leave the feedback saying that the system cannot accept the feedback at that time.
I used Expedia's unpublished hotel deal. You get a price and a hotel star rating and an area of town before booking your hotel reservation. My deal today was 3 Star hotel for $54/night in (North) Fort Collins, CO. After paying I am booked in a Best Western that has only a 2 1/2 star rating and is located on a very busy, freeway type street in an industrial area of Fort Collins with a trailer park right next to it. If I had booked this hotel without the unpublished deal, I would have payed $70 a night. I called Expedia and told them that I was promised a 3 star hotel and got a 2 1/2 star hotel. Expedia offered me a $25 off coupon (to be used within a year) for my next hotel reservation. I really wanted to cancel the reservation because they made the mistake, but they said that the unpublished deals are none-refundable and cannot be changed even though I believe giving me less than promised is fraud. In the end I accepted a $50 off coupon (to be used within a year) for my next hotel reservation on Expedia.com. I will still have to stay in the ok hotel in an industrial area with a trailer park next to the hotel or blow off $187.
Booked a hotel using Expedia last week for a weekend away in NY. The price was fantastic and I had a great stay. We have had some bad experiences in the past with theatre tickets not being delivered but that was resolved. No problems at all this time and I'll keep using Expedia for my travel needs
I booked a room through this company and found after I booked it that it could not be cancelled. I lost the amount paid for the room because you get billed up front on your credit card. I also found that if you book through expedia, that AAA and AARP discounts aren't accepted. I will not use them again.
My experience with expedia was great. I purchased some plane tickets to Sao Paul Brazil and it was fast and easy
Expedia has saved me more than once when traveling. I've needed last minute hotel or flights many times and Expedia is always the first or second site I check for a deal. I'd guess that at least 70% of the time Expedia search results show me a deal that I like
All in all I can't complain about this site it has treated me pretty well!
Ah, Expedia. They are my go-to travel site. I have been to others but so far, Expedia hasn't let me down except a few mix ups.
I travel very frequently. I also have a standard of hotels I stay at. So I look on the actual hotels website before I do any booking through a third party site, such as Expedia. I've noticed Expedia is lacking some details for some hotels and I have had a couple experiences that pissed me off. But each time I got all my money back and was helped by the reps in a professional and nice manner.
The prices are really good the majority of the time, and since I'm a member I get certain discounts, etc. I look on other sites and usually it's not much different in price. So, I trust Expedia and go for it.
I recommend Expedia over several other travel sites. By far.
I've used Expedia several times to book flights, hotels, and rental cars. I have been happy with the prices listed at this site and customer service.
On one occasion, I had an issue, for which I had to call customer service. They resolved my issue to my satisfaction, but communication could have used some improvement.
Another time, I had to make changes to my arrangements, which was done promptly and there wasn't any fees that other companies impose.
Overall I've been happy with Expedia.
My review on this Expedia website is that like idk yet im new to it but you will meet people and you know have a conversation but it is a really cool site to be on and I will write more reviews when I get used to this site...
Based on my personal experience, I think expedia deserves a 2.5 but I feel like rounding down. For 1/2 successful bookings. The first time booking a trip to New Orleans, things went smoothly. I did not use my own credit card but I believe they charge the hotel amount as soon as you place an order if you're booking an entire package (flight + hotel). I hate that there are TONS of random ads for random tourist events/attractions that you have to scroll through and try not to accidentally click PLUS the other ads for add-ons for your flight that you don't really want but it's not overtly confusing, more so annoying.
The second time I had to let someone else book the trip, their site flaked out and gave server errors. It was annoying because the trip was booked by a school, where the person doing it didn't have limitless time trying to refresh the page, create an account to submit and/or both. We ended up giving up and just going with Southwest for the flight and doing the hotel separately. The worst part was entering 2 different people's information and having the site flake out. Really irritating and time consuming.
Still works out as the best for deals when booking flights / accommodation together.
Answer: You were lucky to get through to anyone at all at Expedia. I've spent hours and hours and hours over three days trying to get through to anyone on their customer service phone line, their chat line and their e-mail, all to no avail. They really owe their customers much better customer service.
Answer: Demand to speak to a Supervisor though you better have time because it will take anywhere between 30 minutes to 2 hours. Once the Supervisor does nothing or little to nothing to resolve your concern, ask to speak to a manager. Get ready to really wait. DO NOT ACCEPT THE "WE'LL HAVE A MANAGER CALL YOU WITHIN 24 to 48 HOURS" When you figure out you don't matter, sit down and right a review!
