We stayed at a Doubletree Hilton in January due to terrible weather in the northeast USA we checked out two days early. We stayed on hold for over an hour to review with hotel booking company.Algotels who never took care of the situation when I wrote to them, they would not refund us for the full stay minus the two days that we had to leave early.… Read more
We ended up paying the credit card company in full. This fraudulent company should be shut down anybody that uses them it’s got to be insane. They’re awful, rude, obnoxious, and illegitimate.
Booked a place for 4 nights in Melbourne through trivago with Algotels. They cancelled on me but promised me 5% discount. I booked not knowing it was in USD there was no currency next to the price. even though it was a hotel in Australia and I’m in Australia. No response and no discount. Never ever again. Show details
They didn't refund my booking even I booked Hotel approved. Don't book with them
Terrible customer service, absolutely no flexibility in reservation changes, ended up with a room which was of no use, had to book another room directly with the hotel, at additional costs, I now have two rooms for my stay one of which will remain… Read more
empty!
Communication with Algotels was intermittent and just ended with no response from them.
Absolutely steer clear of these sharks, they'll take your money and run, leaving you with additional costs to sort yourself out. Honestly these people should be removed from the internet as they falsely advertise and prey on people. Once bitten twice shy for me.
Stay well clear and book elsewhere!!!!
Follow-up · After numerious attempts to communicate with Algotels i have received absolutely zero response . . . Absolutely the worst customer service . . . There is none!
I booked 1 room through Algotels for Woodspring Suites in Virginia Beach. When we arrived there was no working toilet in the room, the room spelled of urine & the women at the front said she'd provide another room for us. She advised to go to the beach & when we return we'd have a new room. When we returned the front desk was closed (what kind of… Read more
hotel doesn't have a 24hr front desk). tThere was a phone to call some one from the hotel and an "[Name Removed]" said she'd refund me bc there are no other rooms & I said I refuse to stay in that room. We left to go find another hotel. I spoke to ALGOTELS who told me I'd get a refund and someone would call me in 30 minutes. I received an email a few days later stating I had to provide pictures which I did not take. Who takes a picture of a non working toilet? I have been going back and forth with Algotels who is refusing to refund me the $258 for a room I never stayed at. I spoke with Woodspring Suites customer service who says they can't even find my reservation.
STAY AWAY - TOTAL SCAM Booked through Algotels - through Trivago app- had to contact the to cancel due to Cyclone Alfred and THEY REFUSED - then didn’t respond to any emails thereafter ([Name Removed] was the customer support) when I rang the hotel they were happy to refund due to the circumstances but Algotels had not released the funds to the hotel - so they scammed the hotel & myself !!!!!

Avoid Algotels – Trivago's Australian website (AU) provided Algotels as the best value for accommodation I was looking to book, based on price. I was directed to this website, by Trivago's Australian website, and made my booking. I was unaware the price quoted was in USD, not AUD, so actual cost was not as listed on Trivago's Australian website which contains no… Read more
mention of currency and it is fair to assume if it is an Australian website it is in AUD. Very misleading.
Avoid Algotel for booking hotels – Made a booking for 3 nights in Hobart at Crowne Plaza for $1065. Entered my card details which are on my computer so not done manually. Website returned an error and requested me to re book Did that two minutes later but miraculously the price increased to $1185 up $120. Eventually found Algotel email address and asked for refund of the $120 and… Read more
bluntly told as the payment had gone through they had a no refund policy which is illegal in this country.
