Daylight robbery
Long story short, do not cancel your flight or change it if it was booked through them. The refunded credit from the airline is held with them and only they can book your new flight… when you try to book a flight with a credit they change their pricing adding an extra £200!!! I told him where did this come from he said new rates because you paid half ticket with credit so website gives a different itinerary… in what universe is that legal? Same flight ticket increase because you paid half of the ticket by credit (which is YOURS not theirs to hold in the first place) I called airline and they said their ticket price has been the same since the morning and they don’t see a price increase. Daylight robbery… AVOID never ever booking with them again. Only agreed to pay the extra rip off fee because I wanted to get my credit used and never deal with them again

Have been waiting since beginning of May for a response to my asking for a refund of £150.00 for a hotel stay I tried to cancel due to illness. I tried for 4 hours to try to cancel within the time frame before I was charged. Customer service was terrible couldn't speak to anyone all automated. Eventually found a number and spoke to someone who promised it had been sorted only to find the next day my money had been taken from my account. Emailed expedia and received ann email saying my query would be investigated. I have waited weeks and had fo email 2 or 3 times again and nothing. I will not be recommending this company to anyone.

Bought 2 flights to zurich from manchester, included in the booking was return carry on luggage for the two of us and a check in bag for one return journey. Both of which were not actually provided upon purchase and the check in bag was more expensive to book through swiss air. They flat out refused to provide the check in bag for the price that they had offered. It took 3 hours in support to get the carry on bags provided, I imagine I will be waiting on the refund for the carry on bags I had to purchase on their behalf to come through for months. Massive waste of time if you value your sanity you would just book direct through the airlines website. I know I will in the future.

Unfortunately can not give less than 1 star.
Cancelled a flight 1st March due to Iran war... after little or bland responses and no refund by mid may I had to go back to my credit card to claim against chapter 75.
Emirates claim they did refunds within 3 weeks so expedia holding onto peoples money.
I will never NEVER use them again

They rejected my payment, I had to phone my bank and confirmed with them nothing was wrong. Could not get through to a person from Expedia on phone unless you have a booking reference. Which I didn't have because they kept rejected my payment.
Tried the purchase again, which resulted in my card getting blocked, when talking to a person on the online chat they tried to book me onto different flights instead and then even a different location without checking to see what was wrong with going the way I had selected and advertised as available, not solve the issue. I bought half of the trip to get the itinerary number to amend it to sort flights. They couldn't. Tried to refund then they almost fought back against the refund.
DO NOT GO THROUGH EXPEDIA

AVOID.
Booked flights (hotel booked elsewhere with no issues), noted later that oddly I only received a confirmation for one flight (from aer lingus, not expedia). On my account I found NO evidence of either flight. After fighting to get human help I found my booking for BOTH flights had been cancelled and I was not informed.
I couldve turned up at the airport without a clue and had my whole holiday ruined. No compensation or assistance to rebook offered. Almost glad as it means I can avoid using this awful website - DO NOT USE

I tried to book the Star in Sussex but when the booking confirmation came through I was booked in The Star at Kingussie, Scotland. I used my own Mastercard to pay for the booking. The Star in Kingussie were very helpful but stated that the card used to pay the hotel was one from Expedia and mine card details did not appear. WHAT SORT OF AN OPERATION WORKS LIKE THIS. Of course I have no recourse to getting a refund from the Hotel, from Expedia or from the agent STAYFORLONG.
What is the connection between Expedia and Stayforlong, clearly a long arm away.
I will never use Expedia for any travel booking again, long live TRIVAGO.

I wish I had read the reviews before booking through Expedia. I trusted the company because it is such a well-known brand, and I never expected to experience problems like this.
I booked what I believed was a package holiday to Turkey for my family. I carefully selected the flights and hotel, but during checkout the website repeatedly crashed and reset. I had to enter my details several times before finally completing the booking and payment.
When I received the confirmation email, I was shocked to discover that I had apparently paid over £6,000 for the hotel only, with no flights included. This was completely different from what I believed I was booking.
I immediately contacted customer support. After spending around three hours on online chat and being passed between different representatives, I finally received a phone call. The representative was rude and dismissive, simply stating that there were no flights attached to the booking. I explained that the website had clearly malfunctioned during the checkout process, but my concerns were ignored.
I asked to escalate the matter to management, but they would only communicate through online chat. They repeatedly denied that there was any issue with their website or app and instead placed the blame entirely on me. They refused to investigate the technical problems I experienced or offer any meaningful resolution.
As a result, I have been left paying more than £6,000 for accommodation alone when my intention was to purchase a package holiday including flights. The entire experience has been incredibly stressful and disappointing.
The customer service I received from such a large organisation was unacceptable. Based on my experience, I would strongly advise others to carefully check every detail of their booking and confirmation before making payment.
They also refuse to give me their complaint department’s email address despite asking them a few times they lie to say they will email me and I can reply back to it but they never did the breaking so many rules this needs to be investigated by the regulators

Will mess up your booking payment so they can up you the price by £200 and see if they can get a booking fee from you. Con artists, its not even worth trying to get the booking back

Tried to book a package holiday, it literally won’t let me. Tried two different hotels, two different cards, still not working. In the process, it’s charged me for a random flight to Greece and nothing else. I now have to contact easyJet to cancel, which will probably leave me with a fee to pay for no reason whatsoever. Highly do not recommend wasting hours looking for a holiday package for it to not work and then spend hours talking to support to get nowhere. How they aren’t able to book a package over the phone, I don’t know!!

Would prefer to have rated 0. Tried to book a package but they said it didn't go through. Then got 2 emails from aer lingus for duplicate flights. Contacted the webchat and was told it was nothing to do with them and I didn't even have an account with them??? Contacted her lingus who said expedia had cancelled the flights and a refund was in progress. Booked another flight and now have been charged for 3 identical flights and not sure where I stand now. Stressed and frustrated.

definitely one of the worst travel companies to deal with. All their customer service has been outsourced to Africa and handled by people who have no clue. Their way of dealing with a matter is to say I will speak to my supervisor and make you wait half an hour then they offer no solution, They are not doing anything they just leave the phone on hold just to p you off. I have now shut my Expedia account after 15 years. I will never give them a cent of my money ever again

⭐ 1/5 — FRAUD. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.
Expedia cancelled one leg of my return flight WITHOUT my permission and without proper notice, then told me to go and book elsewhere — costing me extra money out of my own pocket. My remaining ticket is still with them and they refuse to do anything about it, hiding behind the excuse that they're "just the middleman." YOU took my money. That makes YOU responsible.
When I requested a full refund — which I am completely entitled to — they had the audacity to demand a $200 cancellation fee. For a cancellation THEY made. That is not a policy, that is theft.
On top of that, my money was stuck in limbo with my bank from the initial payment processing, and I have been bombarded with confusing emails since day one. Every time I contacted customer service I was met with the same robotic, copy-pasted replies — policy, policy, policy. Not once did anyone actually listen or try to help. Zero accountability. Zero empathy.
They are quick to hide behind their company policy — but where are MY rights as a customer? I paid for a service, they failed to deliver it, and now they want to charge ME for it.
Expedia = fraud. Never again. Book anywhere else.

Expedia made a mistake on my booking which could prevent me from boarding my flight. They admit it was their mistake but they want to charge me £280 to change it

Absolutely awful. Tried to book a package holiday (hotel+flights) but it would not go through and the website told me that the booking had not been able to be made. The money was then taken from my account twice, and although the website said the booking wasn't confirmed, I then received flight confirmation for the return flight only. I could not get through to anyone on the phone without an itinerary number and the virtual chat was very unhelpful. They told me that none of it had gone through and the money would not be taken. I could see on the Jet2 app that I did have the return flight booked, and I confirmed this with Jet2 directly. I was then left with no outbound flight, no hotel, but with a flight home from a holiday that didn't exist. Expedia were very unhelpful and unwilling to help. Would not recommend and will not be using them again.

Avoid Expedia if you value customer service
I booked my Emirates flights through Expedia, and after Emirates changed my booking, it’s been over a week of complete frustration. I’ve spent hours on the phone and sent countless emails, only to be passed back and forth between Expedia and Emirates, with neither company taking ownership or providing a solution.
As a customer, I shouldn’t have to chase two companies to resolve a problem that wasn’t caused by me. The lack of communication, accountability, and urgency has been unacceptable.
I expected Expedia to support its customers when issues arise, but instead I’ve been left in limbo with no resolution. Based on this experience, I won’t be booking through Expedia again and cannot recommend them to anyone.

I've used Expedia a lot in recent years to book trips and have previously found the process straightforward.
This time, however, it was a stressful experience. Choosing all the flight and accommodation options and getting to the "confirm and pay" stage, only for the payment not to go through, through no fault of my own, was very frustrating. I tried again. Same thing, only the overall package price had increased. Still didn't go through. I contacted Expedia and one of their representatives apologised and said the prices are fluid and that's why my payment wasn't accepted. Surely prices should be frozen at the point of booking to avoid this?He suggested trying again in a couple of hours, which I did. Same issue, and the price had risen AGAIN.
I was finally able to book the holiday the following morning, but after all the hassle of the night before, I forgot to book the breakfasts and the extra flight bag, which hadn't been saved from the previous attempt.
Expedia's email communication is generally very good, but this was a painful and expensive booking experience, that they need to improve. I'm not sure I'll use them again.

I reserved a car that I booked for two weeks next month. Various companies contact me regarding my rental, which confuses me. I check up on the address, which takes me to a car park at the train station. I cannot find the address to take me to the door of "Dollar Mini Car." I try calling the number, and it is invalid. I call Expedia customer service and speak to a woman who sounds robotic. She continued to repeat the same untraceable address and the same invalid telephone number. Absolute joke! Cowboy company! I ended up cancelling.

An absolute disgrace. Despite my booking confirmation explicitly saying I could cancel without penalty , yep you guessed it , Expedia claim they are unable to contact the booking venue …a large London hotel! And so there will be a full price penalty …..and this is for a booking in November 2026. ……and today when I contacted customer service following below message they continued to refuse to assist citing the hotel won’t even allow me to change dates

Tried to book a flight & hotel package. At payment, after approving in my bank app, it told me there was an error in the card details I'd entered.There wasn't. Tried a second time. Approved it again. Same outcome. Decided to leave it and try again later. Moments later, received a confirmation of flight from the airline. Checked and payment had been taken by airline. Nothing from Expedia at all, especially regarding the hotel. Was I booked in or not? Contacted Expedia via web chat. They kept asking for an itinerary number I hadn't been sent. Couldn't trace any booking made by me. Suggested I'd booked direct with the airline (I had never visited their website). Was on web chat 2 hours. Discovered via airline that I would lose money by cancelling the flight, so decided to keep it. Removed money from bank account so they couldn't take payment later. Booked same hotel room with Booking.com - included the resort fees and payment not needed upfront. Happy ending, but no thanks to Expedia (or rather it's mobile app).
