I made a hotel reservation through Hotels.com and, as a precaution, called the hotel directly to confirm the booking. To my surprise, the hotel staff informed me that there was a system issue between the hotel and Hotels.com, and that no rooms were available despite my confirmed reservation. They specifically asked me to cancel the booking because they couldn’t accommodate me.
I immediately logged back into Hotels.com and canceled the reservation through their assistant, just as advised. But afterward, I was told I wouldn’t receive a refund—even though the cancellation wasn’t my choice and the hotel couldn’t honor the booking in the first place.
This is completely unfair and unacceptable. I followed all the proper steps and only canceled because I was told there was no room. I demand a full refund of the canceled reservation amount. If this issue is not resolved quickly, I will file a formal complaint with the Consumer Arbitration Board. Hotels.com, take responsibility and issue my refund now.
