ReviewTerminal Summary

Booking.com has a 1.0/5 average rating with overwhelmingly negative customer experiences involving refund failures, poor customer service, fraudulent listings, billing errors, and unresolved complaints.

Common concerns

  • Refunds promised but never delivered, with customers waiting weeks or months without resolution or communication
  • Customer service is inaccessible, unresponsive, or unhelpful—featuring AI bots that don't understand issues, long wait times, dropped calls, and staff who refuse to take responsibility
  • Billing errors including duplicate charges, currency conversion scams, overcharges, and unauthorized fees that Booking.com refuses to refund despite documentation
  • False advertising and bait-and-switch tactics—promised benefits (free airport taxi, direct flights) removed after payment, flight changes without notification, prices changed after booking confirmation
  • Security breaches and fraud—customer information leaked enabling WhatsApp scams, fake reviews posted by property owners, and no protection for customers
  • Property listing fraud—moldy/unsafe accommodations, misleading photos, no matching reality, with Booking.com ignoring complaints and protecting dishonest hosts

I have had no problems with this…

I have had no problems with this company until recently. I submitted a critical review of a property which appears to be positive in the review section. I did run my critique past the owner of the property before posting the review with Booking.com, and received a load of abuse from her. How can you believe any reviews if the only select the positives?

Beachfront Central Boutique Apartments

Beachfront Central Boutique Apartments, Durres, Albanie The reality is different from the photos on the site. The organization rents out various apartments in various buildings. The buildings are dated and are cleaned very poorly. Simply filthy. Agreements are not honored. We had booked a beautiful apartment with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms on the 3rd floor because one person is afraid of the light. We had this confirmed by the organization. Upon arrival, it turned out that we had been assigned the 10th!!! floor. This was not an option, and then we had to move to another apartment in a different building. This certainly did not meet our requirements, such as 2 bathrooms, etc. Subsequently, we were sent to yet another building and given a much less luxurious apartment there than booked. It was a take it or leave it situation. People, be careful and look elsewhere; do not book here.
