  • Bookit.com?

    Anyone ever booked a room in Vegas for bookit.com?

    Used them back in March was flawless but my recent booking I still haven't gotten my hotel confirmation or anything and have read some shady reviews on them.

    Was wondering if anyone on here has any personal reviews on them.

    Used Bookit.com for my honeymoon and they fucked it up BAD. Got to my resort in Punta Cana and they said they canceled our reservation because Bookit.com never paid them for the rooms. It was a nightmare. Eventually things got straightened out but I'll never use bookit.com again.

      Use Expedia, Priceline, Orbitz, Travelocity, but never bookit.com. Book directly through the hotel and see if they will match a third party rate.

        I think since my March transaction was so smooth I didn't think I would have a problem. I called the hotel to check if they've received my booking but they said they never did and basically the bookit rep tried to ensure me everything would be fine, but I'm sure its all a bunch of BS they're trying to push.

        But yeah I've read similar stories like yours KinStock. What eventually happened with your situation?

          There were 2 other couples that went through bookit.com as well and they had the same issue. So the 6 of us spent 3 hours sitting in the lobby trying to get in touch with someone from bookit.com to pay the resort. The resort wanted us to just pay them directly and then get a refund from bookit.com but that just didn't sound right to us. After a bunch of bullshit from the resort manager and $100 worth of international charges on my cell phone (which never got reimbursed) bookit.com finally paid the resort so we could then go to our rooms.... It was a shitty way to start a honeymoon haha.

            Haha yeah... especially in Vegas the last thing I want to be doing is waiting the hell around for them. I'm assuming it won't be too busy of a weekend since its the weekend after LDW.

            I have a backup room booked with my players card but preferred this nicer hotel since it was a special weekend. I heard sometimes they'll try to bait and switch you by telling you the hotel had a error and is overbooked and give you a hotel they consider of "equal value" but isn't really up to par. I've also heard getting refunds from them or any of that sort is a pain in the ass.

            This will probably be my last time using them no matter how much cheaper they are... Just too much stress and hassle.

            Thanks for the reviews.

              If I pay money to get a hotel room anywhere, and they don't have it for me when I arrive, I'm staying there regardless. I'll sleep in the lobby, put on my pajamas, pregame, all that stuff. If they don't like it, I'd tell them to call bookit.com themselves and get their money. After that first night, the property would no longer list on any site like that, lol.

                Normally I would book direct with the hotels, but bookit has these "mystery" deals on certain hotels but a little Google research and you can figure out what hotel is what and the rate was $100 difference per night so it was quite significant. Hopefully all goes well and they will release my money to the hotel before I arrive.
