I booked a honeymoon on 2/4/2020 from May/25 - May 30th for Beaches Turks and Caicos Resort Villages and Spa Luxury under booking ID50401697. The Covid 19 pandemic hit my honeymoon was cancelled but credited for a later date. Now that things have calm down I called the Resort to find out I don't have a reservation. So you have 30 days to issue me a refund or I'm going to sue you.

I booked a trip in oct. And payed it off in march. 86, and literally as soon as I made the last payment in much they shut down operation. They took the last payment on the actually day they shutdown, and I mean like within 2 hours.

I completely understand the shutdown Due to covid19, and the due not travel orders. What I dont understand is why they didnt process a refund. Or why they took another payment hours before they walked out on customers. So not just me but several of my family members and others are left wondering about our hard earned money, of which we need to get by in the times of being off work due to covid. Is this legal?

Has anybody out there recieved a refund yet? This is fruad,and its stressing me out. I want back what's mine. The cheated me and many many others of…

In regards to my flight, book it never sent me a flight confirmation check in on the way to my vacation destination or on the way back home from my vacation destination. I have booked with book it multiple times before and have always received a flight confirmation online check in which avoids additional costs at the airport in regards to baggage.

It is the third parties responsibility to send that information. The representative tried telling me that I should have called them but it states the flight check in email should be sent around 12 hours before that flight. My flight being at 6am they were not open when I had tried to call.

I originally booked a vacation package to Cancun for October, However all that is going on outside of the country my husband and I decided to stay in the United States. I phoned Book it customer service to express our fears and we wanted to change our destination.

I was told to call so many different number and spend a whole day on the telephone trying to speak to someone, after waiting on hold for 2 hours someone finally picked up and said we would need to pay a cancelation fee to the airport for $200 person, I was told that is the airlines policy and I would have to take it up with them.

So I called the airline and the were really nice and helpful and waived the fee for me. They also charged me a small fee to change my destination and made a new reservation for me. So I then called…

After looking at their web site and seeing an offer of $100 off for a reservation, then just below that offer of $100 off any 7 day all inclusive reservation and spending about 45 minutes making the reservation I was told that the hotel I picked was not one that had the $100 off for all inclusive reservation and I was not getting the end of month $100 off either.

Another no go was my reservation. , I booked with Cheap Caribbean vacations.

For the past approximately two weeks I have been trying to make changes to my vacation. I was traveling with a group of family/ friends for my birthday to the Dominican Republic. Due to the sudden deaths on the news we have become afraid & feel it is unsafe to travel.

I spoke with agent 6/18/2019 we were making changes she said she would call back in one hour with confirmation she took down my bank card information & never returned my call. 6/19/19 I waited on hold for over 9hours.

Only to not speak with anyone. 9 hours!!! That is ridiculous. I am very upset, frustrated, & i feel over whelmed. I understand highcall volume but that’s unacceptable. 6/20/19 I have been on hold almost 3 hours and A gent answered only to transfer me.

I do not have the free time to sit on hold for a 8 hour…

Hello,

I booked a reservation a day ago and had to cancel thru bookit.com. I was deducted $692.41 for canceling a reservation I made within an hour of reserving it.

Here is info of reservation: Property Name: Divi Aruba - All-Inclusive BookIt.com ID: 49081557 Cancelled: June 9, 2019 at 02:43PM

I think this is outrageous and I should be refunded all my money. How can you run a business by stealing people’s hard earned money. The computer glitched and booked it on the wrong hotel. I shouldn’t pay for someone else’s mistake.

Booked a trip on line - made a mistake and added my last name as my fiancé's. Called and asked if they could change; they sent me to Flights, Flights said I needed Reservations, then they sent me to Reservations, then told me to call United.

com because they are the only ones who can change. com the whole time. 00 dollars. I have gone through them once before, but NEVER AGAIN. Their customer service is awful, asked to speak to a manager several times was told "no, or no one is there to help me".

They intentionally run you around and will never help you make the appropriate changes. Crooks and liars. WORST COMPANY EVER!

com (or every other entity in the business) again!! I would give it 0 stars if I could. I booked a resort through Bookit for a trip to Punta Cana, our first payment for the trip was taken in April and the 2nd payment was taken in May, then returned and the trip cancelled.

We did not understand why so we contacted Bookit. After about an hour conversation, with excuses about the system and due date they finally said it had something to do with the zip code, which was weird since it was the same zip code as the first payment.

Given all the confusion, we were given a credit for what we paid. We could no longer go to the same hotel due to the fact the hotel amount had risen significantly, so the customer service agent let us know we could use the credit when ever we liked for anything, just…

Initially we called to make a reservation to Cancun for hotel and flight and travel from and to the airport. The representative finalized everything and we made our initial payment. When we called to find out when our next payment is due, we were told that only our flight was booked and that there was a glitch at the time.

Since then I have been trying to deal with someone who can help us settle this situation and help resolve. I have been frustrated in trying to solve this issue. It has been a terrible experience. com. I am extremely frustrated at this experience and how it's being handled.

If I could give them a ZERO I would. I tried to cancel a hotel reservation on the day my confirmation stated would be fee cancellation and the system never updated and confirmed my cancellation. I have now spent 1 hour on the phone and called 3 different phone numbers to try to speak with someone about this.

Every time I get a human they transfer me to an automated service. I am not paying for a cancellation fee because I tried to do this even before there was a fee. No one is helping. The first lady I spoke with (Denise) asked me for my confirmation number then cut me off halfway through it and transferred me to the automated system.

I am beyond upset and will make sure everyone I know doesn't not use this company! Ever!

We traveled to an all inclusive resort in Punta Cana in September. During that stay, there were multiple safety issues and my life was literally put in danger at this place three different times. The resort refuses to do anything because we didn't book directly through them and book it customer service is absolutely useless.

All I want is some type of credit for the issues we had. The amount of money we spent over the years with bookit is significant and I feel there must be something they can do to remedy this situation in some way!

I am OUTRAGED! I have an all inclusive trip planned for TOMORROW 9/7/17 through 9/11/17 to Cabo San Lucas at the RIU Palace. I was informed by the hotel that that it is closed due to tropical storm "Lidia" that just hit, the airline cancelled the flight as well.

com for THREE days to figure out what our next step is; do we get a refund? do we get a credit? etc. I have been on hold for hours at time for 3 days and when an operator finally picks up they transfer me to another department where I am told that the operator transferred me to the wrong department and to call back.

Vacation reservation that was essentially held hostage and we were threatened to lose $2000 if we didn't agree to pay an extra $400 First reservation: 40513915 paid over $2000 and the final payment was due 1/2/17, but we decided to pay it off early - the computer misidentified our credit card number and payment was declined. Within hours of this we called to pay balance online and they threatened to have us forfeit our previous $2000 unless we agreed to pay an additional $450 and we were made to create a new reservation: 42210885.

The first person we spoke to said the card was declined because of the code on back was type incorrectly, yet the other representative stated that the address was input incorrectly. We feel this a scam that has been happening in order to get extra money from…

Bookit will not give me a full refund so I can take my family somewhere else instead wants to charge me an additional $2300 to make a new reservation. I already paid for a vacation why should I have to pay again.

I booked a flight for 6 to Jamaica and choose pay delay. I was told that I can log on to the members lounge and make changes to my credit card. I've done this twice and both times bookit rejected the payment and charge me an extra $35 late fee for declined payment. I called the bookit customer service number and they claim that it was my bank that declined the payment.

Well I called my bank and my bank told me that it was bookit that declined the payment. I don't understand why my payment was declined when I had the money in my account. I called and asked them to get rid of the $35 declined payment fee because it wasn't my fault and I was told that they cannot get rid of the $35 late fee because it's beyond their control.

We booked a vacation with bookit.com because their price was competitive. However, it turned out to be an insane mess. We arrived at the Hotel in Punta Caan, DR and were told bookit did not pay the Hote! We called 4 times, each times some 50 minutes and got nowhere. When we checked out we had to pay the Hotel again, some $8,500.00. Back in the US, after some tough negotiations, bookit.com agreed to reimburse us the amount we paid tp them, some $7,300.00. Thus, we were short some $ 1,200.00. After some more tough negotiations and complaints to the BBB and Consumer Affairs, booit.com agreed to give us a credit of 4 200.00, plus a check of $ 500.00 in 60 to 90 days.

We booked a Hotel through bookit.com and redeemed the credit. At the Hotel we were told that they have not heard anything from…

Upon arriving at the Hotel around midnight of 12/24/2015 in the Dominican Republic, we were told that bookit.com had not paid the Hotel stay and we would only get the 2 rooms booked if we sign a credit card "hold" ticket value for some $ 1,860.00 for each room! We immediately called bookit.com and after 56 minutes on the phone we finally got an bookit.com agent who told that she will look into the matter and hang up the phone!

I wasted at least 4 hours total trying to deal with bookit and very time they said they had fixed it had not been corrected. I have pictures to prove on hold wait time and Luxor agent complained that she was on hold for a long time too.
