I booked a stay with them to visit the parks in Orlando. Due to coronavirus concerns, all parks were closed and I had to cancel my stay. I got in touch with the hotel and they said there is no cancellation policy, and
I should be able to get a refund. However, SnapTravel says there is a nonrefundable cancellation.

Snaptravel Response • Mar 30, 2020

Hi, we apologize for the poor experience. It looks like you have already submitted a form regarding cancellations due to COVID-19. Please allow 15-30 business days to pass to hear an update from us on your request. Thank you for your patience and understanding

Let's see your response on this at least Snaptravel, have some guts !!!??????????

I have a reservation with confirmation # B_677614 from 17th March-22nd March. I want to cancel this because of the coronavirus outbreak. My hotel has already canceled my reservation with no penalty but the cancellation is pending from your side Snaptravel
I am trying to reach out to Snaptravel for the last 2 days.
I do have a recorded call where I connected Alexander from Snaptravel and hotel, Snaptravel took verbal confirmation from Hotel. then on Snaptravel forced the hotel to send an email confirmation on which hotel responded very quickly but no action yet taken by Snaptravel.

I am having the same conversation about the cancellation policies/process etc... with no clear actions. I got in contact with Jonalyn, Lorraine, Emmain, Abegail, Mickaela, Rozeinne, Resty and it seems they lack directions, though I have everything done on my end even with the hotel.

With this reservation, SnapTravel is forcing me to travel on unsafe conditions and taking advantage of the scenario. I want your quick response about the status of my request with written confirmation of cancellation.

Snaptravel Response • Mar 30, 2020

Hi Gayatri, we apologize for the poor experience during this difficult time. It looks like you have been refunded for your reservation. We are sorry for the trouble and any stress caused.

I booked a hotel room for periods between March 13-16 2020 in Orlando at *** by Wyndham Orlando Universal Blvd through snap travel. Reservation is confirmed by snaptravel and paid for in full through VISA. However snaptravel has not actually booked the room, when I called hotel directly they have no record of any room booked under my name. Contacted snaptravel multiple times with no resolution. I would like snaptravel to refund my stay in full that I paid for since I actually had to make another reservation with this hotel just to have a place to stay. Snaptravel never made my reservation with his hotel and this reservation was made 10 days before my arrival.

Snaptravel Response • Mar 19, 2020

Hi,

Thank you for reaching out, and we apologize for the poor experience. May you provide your confirmation number so we can look into this?

Snaptravel Response • Mar 20, 2020

Hi again,

Thank you for the information. To move forward with a refund, may you provide a screenshot of the invoice from the hotel that shows the charge of the room?

Customer Response • Mar 20, 2020

Complaint: ***

I am rejecting this response because: this is not a final resolution. I will happy provide these screen shots. They are attached. One of my payment with snaptravel and the other of when I had to make my second reservation at the same hotel, also reflecting the price difference I had to pay. The first photo is my payment receipt and reservation info from snaptravel and the second and third photos are my confirmation for my reservation made at the same hotel for the same dates since the hotel had no reservation at all from snap travel. My fourth photo is a screenshot from the hotel manager stating there was no reservation from snaptravel or matching their confirmation number at the hotel.

Sincerely

On November 7th, 2019, I made a reservation with Snaptravel for the *** in San Diego from January 1st to the 6th for $630.71. I received confirmation in both email and SMS communication that my booking was confirmed. I continued to receive SMS communications indicating that my reservation was still valid as late as December 31st 2019. I made no attempt to cancel and I have text logs showing this. When I arrived at the hotel, the front desk had difficulty finding my reservation and later told me that it had been cancelled. I provided them with the voucher number and that seemed to resolve the issue. We had a pleasant stay at the hotel and left after paying incidentals believing that to be the end of it. March 10th, however, I received a receipt and an email from *** indicating that they had not received payment and that a third party (***) had told them that I had cancelled the reservation. I had never heard of *** before that day, but I assume they just happened to be the intermediary Snaptravel used to book my room. I informed *** that I would not be paying unless Snaptravel refunded me to allow me to pay them. I also told them to contact Snaptravel to resolve payment. On my end, I contacted Snaptravel on March 10th via both email and SMS seeking resolution. On March 13th, I received a text message response at 4:26AM MST from *** telling me that they only accept complaints within 30 days of the stay despite acknowledging that I'd been charged twice for the same service. I responded and am currently waiting for a response in return after informing them that my expectation is a refund or settling the account with *** directly. If they do not resolve this in a timely fashion, I will be forced to take additional action against them.

Snaptravel Response • Mar 19, 2020

Hi ***,

Thank you for reaching out, and I apologize for the poor experience that you have had. To help your case, may you provide a screen shot of the email from the hotel stating that you would have to pay again? Or if you already did pay again, may you provide the invoice for it? Thank you

On February 7, 2020, I reserved a double room online with SnapTravel at The Tombstone Grand Hotel, 580 W. Randolph Way, Tombstone, AZ, for the night of February 15. On February 10, I called the hotel to find that they did not have a room reservation in my name. Upon contacting SnapTravel I was told to wait five days for the booking to show up in the hotel system. I did so, not having noticed that February 10 was the last day SnapTravel would allow me to cancel and receive full refund.

I called the hotel again on February 13 to learn that they still did not have a reservation in my name. As I needed a room for February 15, I asked SnapTravel to cancel my reservation; they did so with a warning that the opportunity for a refund had lapsed. Formal disputes of the charge with PayPal and my credit card company were resolved by them in favor of SnapTravel.

The purpose of this review is to warn potential SnapTravel customers to beware; in my experience, the company is a SCAM.

If you are ready to experience an extremely slow customer service then go for this. They are very good at ripping off customers. Don't fall for them

Snaptravel Response • Mar 30, 2020

Hi, we apologize for the poor experience. May you provide your confirmation number so we can look into this for you?

Snaptravel sends me this ad $20 off your next booking. I clicked the link, it goes directly to hotel/booking page but when you click to use the $20 off it will only allow $4 and some change to be used per night. Which is no where mentioned in the 3 ads they keep sending me. Currently at checkout/by messenger they “gave me 3 -$20 off next booking offers and all three only allow $4 off per booking.
I contacted them on their Facebook and by messenger both conversations with my screenshots of the “deals they have offered” and they decline to honor the same deal they keep sending me.

Snaptravel Response • Mar 18, 2020

Hi ***,

Thank you for reaching out, and I apologize for the poor experience. When you click the link, there is a pop up on the screen that states that the offer is 10% off of the booking up to $20 off. I hope this clears up the confusion, and I apologize that it was not clear enough.

Snaptravel Response • Mar 20, 2020

Hi,

Thank you for that screenshot. As I have stated before, once you click on the link provided you will see a pop up that states it is 10% off your booking up to $20 or $30. I have attached a screenshot of the pop up that shows when you enter the link.

Customer Response • Mar 20, 2020

Complaint: ***

I am rejecting this response because:their ad is misleading. If they are only offering or honoring less than they advertise then they should advertise what they offer not claim to give $20-30 off each booking. Snaptravel should have to honor the wording of the offers they messaged to me which was $20 off those reservation bookings. Again attached is one of dozen they sent me and I booked for those advertised deals. 9 bookings total 8 were said to be $20off and 1 $30 off and none were more than $5 off at checkout. They advertised $20 or $30 off they need to honor it. That’s a $15-25 difference per booking.

Sincerely

I booked a hotel with snap travel on March 1. It is for this weekend, March 15th thru the 17th. the hotel does not have my reservation. I am currently on hold with Snap Travel, both by phone and messenger for well over an hour. I cannot get anyone to speak to me. I began to search out the company and now see that I may have been ripped off. I would like my money back.

Snaptravel Response • Mar 17, 2020

Hi,

Thank you for reaching out, I see that our agent has messaged you that your reservation is there. If you would like to cancel due to COVID-19, please refer to this link for next steps.

I booked a reservation using Snaptravel in November for the Hilton Times Square New York. Due to the Coronavirus, I decided to cancel. The hotel was willing to give a full refund and waive all late cancelation penalties. They understood that I booked using a third party website.

Snaptravel demanded that I get the confirmation they were willing to refund in full in writing by email or else they would not refund the full amount. The hotel, understandably, was not willing to do so. The hotel said the third party had to call to cancel and they would refund the full amount. Snaptravel was not willing to call, even though the hotel said they had a call from this business 5 minutes prior to my call with the front desk.

Snaptravel Response • Mar 17, 2020

Hi ***,

Thanks for reaching out. I see that we have already tried to retrieve the document from the hotel, but they have not yet responded. We have provided you an update that we have also sent the request to one of our partners to help reach out to them.

When I booked my reservation I was told "there will not be any other charges or fees for the room. Only incidentals and ancillary items (eg room service) will be collected from the hotel". Well I recieved a total of 7 additional fees. Their advertising was very misleading and I would have used a different service had I known this would happen.

Snaptravel Response • Mar 10, 2020

Hi,

Thank you for reaching out to us, and bringing this to our attention. May you provide your confirmation number so we can better assist you?

Booked hotel room online via website two days prior to travel. Arrived at hotel to be told no reservation. Called repeatedly to have issue fixed but was not handled. Waited three hours at hotel lobby and never had return called despite being told by each person would be 10-15 minutes. Requested refund but was denied.
Confirmaion number

Snaptravel Response • Mar 10, 2020

Hi ***,

Thank you for reaching out, and I apologize for the poor experience. I see on your reservation that you have already been refunded and Snaptravel credits for the inconvenience.

On Saturday, 2/29/20, I booked a room with SnapTravel at the *** in Middleborough, MA. In Snaptravel's email to me, they clearly indicated that I should simply tell *** my name and the rest would be taken care of, which I did upon checking in. *** asked for the credit card I was using, so I provided it to them. Upon waking up on Sunday, 3/1/20, I found an invoice under my door with the amount charged for my room of $60.88
While out shopping later that day I checked my account to find that I had been charged the following:
***: $60.88
***: $60.88
***: $85.88
Snaptravel : $80.61
***: $75.97

I have proceeded to spent the last 4 days on the phone with Snaptravel, ***, ***. I have been hung up on, ignored, and spoken to rudely.
At this time, *** has only reimbursed me
ONE charge of : $60.88
and the charge of : $85.88

I am still being charged the following as of Wed, 3/4/20
$60.88- ***
$80.61- Snaptravel
$75.97- ***
THIS IS ALL FROM ONE NIGHT Booking with Snaptravel. I have NO access to this money and am extremely anxious, not sleeping, and upset

Snaptravel Response • Mar 09, 2020

Hi ***,

Thank you for reaching out, and I apologize for this incident. Looking at your thread, you provided a screenshot of your charges for the room. The status of these charges are currently pending, so would you be able to send us another screenshot once the charges have settled? We will start taking action then, because it is possible that those pending charges can be voided/refunded before settling.

I booked a hotel room through Snap Travel expecting to pay the amount shown plus taxes. I was later invoiced for much more than what I expected to pay. I contacted Snap Travel to get a breakdown of this lump sum of "taxes and fees" but they were unable to provide one saying "that's all the invoice shows." I called the hotel and they said the taxes and fees are levied by Snap Travel so I contacted Snap Travel AGAIN. After MUCH pushing and probing, they reluctantly provided a breakdown of what was taxes vs booking fee. Snap Travel's booking fee is about 15% of total cost which was not disclosed during booking or mentioned anywhere obvious in their terms and conditions. Like another user, I was just told "charging fees is necessary for running a business." I feel like they violated consumer protection laws by forcing customers to pay a hidden fee and for making it extremely difficult to get answers about what we're being charged for.

Snaptravel Response • Mar 06, 2020

Hi Jenny,
Thank you for reaching out, and I apologize if you feel that you were charge more than expected. However the price that you pay is shown to you before you complete your booking. After confirming the booking, you have agreed to pay the price shown. I will forward your concern about the service fee percentage to be shown in the future.

I booked a 2 bedroom hotel on snaptravel and called the hotel and I was told there are no 2 bedrooms . I have been trying to resolve this issue for a while now and no response from snaptravel

Snaptravel Response • Mar 02, 2020

Hi ***, thanks for reaching out and bringing this case to our attention. This appears to be a room mapping error with our travel partner, however it seems that the room you booked is a two room suite. I sincerely apologize for this confusion and have added 20% ($94) of your booking in credits.

Customer Response • Mar 05, 2020

I would like a refund or free cancellation. Due to false advertisement

Snaptravel Response • Mar 10, 2020

Hi ***,

Thank you for reaching out to us, and I apologize for the miscommunication. I have forwarded this case to our Amendment agents to solve the issue. I see that they have emailed ***@aol.com and are currently waiting for you response. Or you may also respond to your chat thread.

The wesbite advertised 10% off when making your first reservation. I clicked on the coupon code and my reservation was booked (though I was not intending to book by clicking the coupon code) and the discount was not applied! I clicked the back button several times to cancel the reservation and picked up the phone to call Snap Travel immediately to address the issue. It took over 20 minutes to reach someone on the phone. When they answered I explained that an advertised promotion was not applied and furthermore, the hotel was booked unintentionally when I was attempting to apply their discount code. I needed to cancel the reservation immediately. They stated they could cancel, but would not refund any of my money due to the hotel's policy. I called the hotel. The hotel had no reservation in my name or any request from Snap Travel to create a reservation in my name.

Snaptravel Response • Feb 27, 2020

Hi ***,

Thank you for reaching out, and I apologize for the poor experience you have had using our service. However, because it is non-refundable and non-amendable we are unable to cancel your reservation. This is stated before and after you confirm your booking. Adding a coupon code is in the first of 3 steps involved in confirming your booking where you can only complete your booking in step 3. Regarding the hotel not having your reservation, it was stated in your thread it usually takes approximately 3-5 business days to process to the hotel depending on when the check-in date is. This is because although hotels mark the room as sold, they often do not input the reservation into their system closer to the check-in date. Sorry for the inconvenience and the stressed caused. I hope this information helps and please let me know if you have any further questions.

Snaptravel Response • Feb 28, 2020

Hi ***,

Clicking the coupon code does not confirm your reservation. Clicking the "complete booking" does. Therefore your claim that pressing the coupon code button confirmed your reservation is invalid. The only way to confirm booking is pressing the complete booking button. However, since this button was pressed and processed, that means you agreed and confirmed with all the terms of the booking; including the fact that it was non-refundable and non-amendable.

Furthermore the reason that the hotel did not have your reservation after calling them immediately after booking; is due to the fact that it takes time for the hotel system to update with new information which we informed you on your chat thread. I hope this clears any confusion.

Customer Response • Mar 02, 2020

Complaint: ***

I am rejecting this response because: This booking is unauthorized and unintentional. The complete booking button was not submitted under the terms for which you have charged my card. I have spoken with the hotel and they are willing to cancel this reservation without penalty. This information is in writing. Cancel and refund immediately to avoid further legal action.

Sincerely

I'm gonna be one of the positive reviewers here, but it might be due to extenuating circumstances. I was scared reading all the complaints filed against this company after o booked, but everything seemed to go smoothly up until check in, which was beyond Snaptravel's control. They even sent me a message via Messenger that I was all set to check in 24 hours prior to. I got to the hotel and it was closed due to a fire about a month ago (three weeks before my check in date), so that falls on the hotel for not alerting their parent company so they could prevent people from booking at all. I had the option to book through every travel site, not just this one. Besides taking an hour and a half to get back to me and resolve my issue, I was able to get a full refund and they gave me 20% in site credits towards my next stay.

OMG!!! the worst experience ever. I lost close to 90 dollars and had to re-reserve a hotel stay and pay 92 more. I made a mistake and booked the wrong date and just need a date change and they won't do it. I will never use them again. DO TRUST SNAPTRAVEL!!!!!

Snaptravel Response • Feb 25, 2020

Thanks for reaching out and we're very sorry to hear about your less than satisfactory experience. However, you did not book a refundable room, which is stated on our booking page. As well we show the date of your reservation at the time of booking to make sure this is the correct date for the booking. We display all the information pertaining to the booking on our final page including the date before checkout to provide you full transparency prior to confirming a booking.

Snaptravel sent me a promotional credit for my next booking, which I applied while booking. The website showed the credit for $7.87 was applied, but then when I checked the confirmation, the credit was not applied and I was charged the full amount! When I called customer service, I was presented with a series of outright lies as to why they would not apply the credit. After I discredited each lie, I was presented with a new one. First customer service told me the promotion expired (not true), then that the promotion didn't start yet (not true), then that the hotel was not eligible for the promotion (not true). I asked to speak to a manager, and was put on hold for so long I hung up.

Snaptravel Response • Feb 24, 2020

Hi ***, Could you please provide us with your Snaptravel order ID so we can look into this case for you?

Snaptravel Response • Feb 26, 2020

Hi ***,

Thank you for the information. I have provided a refund of $7.87. You should see this in your bank statement in the next 3-5 business days.

When using snap travel I was suggested to use the Messenger app on Facebook. Just as it describes, it asks you to list your location and dates in which you want hotel stays. So I listed my date in my location of Savannah Georgia inside the United States. Instead unknown to me it gave me suggestions in Savannah Italy. So I ended up booking a hotel in Italy and it is 100% nonrefundable. I called customer service and they just told me the same thing that it’s nonrefundable. I can’t call the hotel because that is in international number and I am again here in the United States. Snap travel is the worst, with terrible customer service. They care more about their contract with hotels then their customer satisfaction. Now I cannot get that money back and I was booking a hotel for part of my honeymoon with my husband. I am let down sad and upset. Do you not use snap travel!!!

Snaptravel Response • Feb 25, 2020

Hi Alicia,
Thanks for reaching out and we're very sorry to hear about your less than satisfactory experience. However, after reviewing your booking you did not book for a refundable room, which is stated on our booking page. The details of each booking (location and dates) are clearly shown to you before you process and confirm your payment. We display all the information pertaining to the booking on our final page including the date before checkout to provide you full transparency prior to confirming a booking

3 separate reservations in a row, I paid snaptravel for a room for my fiancé who was working out of state over 2,000 miles away from our home. Snaptravel took the payment from my card for the reservation, but did not pay the hotel. Upon contacting customer service, we were notified that the problem would be resolved in about 10 minutes and then he would be able to check into his room. The first 2 times, snaptravel took over 2 1/2 hours to contact us to let us know that the problem was resolved but did not notify the hotel front desk. This time, we have called customer service repeatedly and have continued to get the run around and have been assured for over 2 hours that the problem was being resolved and yet the hotel has still not been contacted. This was not the only 3 times that we booked through SnapTravel and was not the first purchases through their site for this hotel. The Urgent Care Team member contacted me via text to inform me that the manager is the only person that can process their payment, but the manager was contacted about the issue and has no knowledge of that being a problem and every time the Urgent Care Team never has given a different response and reason for the payment not being able to be processed. This company is fraudulent and costs people time and money needlessly and shouldn’t be allowed to operate if they can’t arrange the payments through their company after the customer has already paid.
