Patiently waiting for the inevitable class action suit

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

They may not be an actual scam, but they are scam-adjacent. As with all the other 1-star reviews, I got caught in their scammy web, making a reservation on my phone.

I located the hotel I wanted to stay at via Google Maps, not realizing that the Map link would send me, not directly to the hotel, but to this bunch of crooks. Their website looks identical to the website of the hotel (where I had stayed before), but I was in a hurry and didn't triple check. I booked for 3 nights, knowing we might check out early, which we did. I noticed later that we had been charged for all 3 nights and a hefty service fee.

Again, some of this is on me. But they went through every effort to delude me into thinking I was dealing directly with the hotel. They are almost impossible to get on the phone. I finally talked to a live person, who promised a return call from a supervisor, which I never received and now the phone number on my confirmation email has been disconnected.

I've given up. Instead of wasting time and energy on trying to reach them, I am reaching out instead to my fellow consumers and begging you to be more careful than I was.

I'm also hoping that, when the inevitable class action suit against them is formed, the lawyers will reach out to me. I would be delighted to be a party to it.

Google maps ONLY provides a link to the hotel’s direct site. The hotel pays for this. List the hotel and location in question so those of us reading your complaint can check for ourselves.

I've been notified that the money will be returned to us, so will update once it's in the bank.

Original review May 01, 2025

My husband thought he was using the hotel website to book a reservation for a hotel in Greece.

Lufthansa notified us last night that our flight was delayed an entire day, so we called the hotel to cancel our booking well within their 24 hr window.

Surprisingly, we were told we had to contact a third party, Guest Reservations.

We could only cancel via online, and they charged us $178.28!

I have attached the crooked fine print about cancellation, which is different than the actual hotel policy.

Tacked on $120 worth of hidden fees

Guest Reservations - Tacked on $120 worth of hidden fees

Thought I was dealing directly with a particular hotel. This company tacked on $120 worth of fees that couldn' t be seen in a drop down box on mobile.

Didn't realise until after I was charged more than the rate I had selected to begin with.Then under the receipt in small print is the usual, no refunds, cancellations, but in very suspicious terminology like they know you'll try!

This is theft. The file below is what was hidden.

High fees

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

This is ridiculous! You think you are booking a hotel at the hotel's own website (should have checked better!), but it is really not.

It's the Guest Reservations website. That is one bad thing.

Then you complete your booking, and if you're not paying attention, you are charged a 40% fee on top of the hotel room rate. This is a clear ripoff, as there is no option to cancel either.

Unloyal and unfair practices

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I was fraudulently induced to reserve a room from the hotel website of the Radisson Blu Bergamo. The price was slightly less expensive than on booking.com.

Once the booking was completed, I was in shock: outrageously high hidden fees had been added to the booking, equivalent to an additional night for one room. It was impossible to cancel the reservation, which all of a sudden was non-refundable.

Disgusting, misleading, unfair. My vacation is ruined.

Scammed

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

What looked like a legit website was not, they had mimicked the real hotel. I was charged $80 more than I should have been.

I ended up realising it was a scam 6 weeks later, tried to call them for a refund (they said it was fully refundable) but guess what... I couldn't get through via email or call. I ended up cancelling my credit card and the bank was able to get my money back for me!!

What a drama!!! DO NOT FALL FOR THIS SCAM

Scam Booking Site

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Guest reservations is a scam site. I thought I was booking with the hotel directly but then found the booking had gone through Guest Reservations.

I am not sure whether I have an actual booking with the hotel as when I put my information into the Manage My Booking part it says it can't find the reservation. Steer well clear of this site.

To vent on this appalling rip off mob

They charge some sort of tax that certainly isn't being collected as a tax. They really are shonks.

Always book directly with the accommodation provider. You will save a huge amount of money. They were going to charge $450 for 2 nights. Booking with the motel, same room, $300.

Also, they take your money upfront. It is usually impossible to get back if you cancel.

Terrible customer service experience

I wanted to book directly with a hotel and the Google search brought up GuestReservationsHotelName, so I thought I was booking with their reservations team. It was only after I received my confirmation and had been charged more than a night's accommodation in fees that I realised I had been scammed.

Called the company straight away to ask for a refund and was told that it wasn't possible. Contacted the Hotel directly, got their approval to waive the cancellation fee, went back to Guest Reservations, jumped through all the obstacles they put in the way to follow their rules for getting a refund and got nothing! They do not respond to emails and just keep sending me the same form email requesting information I have already provided to them.

This company should be avoided. They have no desire to assist customers who have been stooged by their deceptive practices.
