Expedia hotel reservations

Postby nightcrawler » March 25th, 2023, 10:44 am

Good day, has anyone ever used Expedia and encountered any bad experiences? I usually use booking.com and hotels.com but Expedia have some really good package prices for tickets and hotels. Google says they are legit but also read some bad reviews also.

night,

Expedia is one of the cheaper options to get “best deals” and “bang for your buck” but you also read the negative reviews as well. So while you will save some money, your possibility of being inconvenienced increases. Those hotels LOVE to throw the “I’m sorry Sir you booked through Expedia” in your face.

Me, been there done that. I book directly on the Hotel website and directly through the Car Rental etc…..Gator don’t play no sheit, u feel me?

Stick to Booking. Expedia is a headache and a half if anything at all goes wrong.

I have successfully used Expedia for hotels without problems.
What most people get challenges with, is not reading the “fine print” and “assuming” standard items are included as it is not clearly stated on their website and it written generic to cover all hotels.


And “yes” if you have any problems Expedia is your 1st call to resolve it.

Additionally Expedia is not necessarily cheaper if you compare T&C as their may be differences in cancellation policy, pre-payment, loyalty rewards, view, breakfast, etc.

You just need to know what is the right thing for you.

P.s. fact worth nothing, most travel services on internet if not purchased directly from supplier is provided by Expedia as their group owns these companies: expedia, hotels.com, vrbo, travelocity, egencia, hotwire, orbitz, ebookers, cheaptickets, carrentals, expedia cruises, wotif, trivago

Expedia has been reliable for me and customer service has improved, they are the porn hub of travel though, they own Hotels.com, Vrbo, Travelocity, Hotwire.com, Orbitz, Ebookers, CheapTickets, CarRentals.com, Expedia Cruises, Wotif, and Trivago.

Probably many more smaller ones too

Never had any issues with Expedia. That being said, yes many times the hotel themselves would give better deals so it's advisable to compare your hotel of choice between expedia and the main hotel website.
