  • - Trivago rejected my review and they’re not customer oriented.
  • - I lost money.

I had a bad experience with a tour company in Miami and when I wanted to share my experience on Trivago, my review was rejected. Theyre not customer oriented.

I lost some money. No problem. I just deleted the App.

I will not use Trivago again. There are better alternatives to organise an enjoyable vacation.

User's recommendation: Do not use Trivago

Booking date is wrong and they wanted a hundred dollar deposit! There wasn't anything about a deposit and the wrong day! The motel refused us and I want my money back!!

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

They failed miserably at being a professional and respectful! Now I'm out $60 bucks for jack *** And then they sprung the $100 deposit on us as we was walking inside the lobby to check in!

User's recommendation: I definitely would not recommend Trivago to my puppy!! They are stealing people's money and getting away with it!

i’ve never been able to get a hold of a live person for Customer Service to rate my experience. I still don’t have a refund.

Trivago Deals is a sSCAM

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

  • - Cannot cancel or go due to end-stage kidney disease.

Trivago Deals is a sSCAM

I have had a trip booked for a month, and I understand that I cannot cancel the reservation, but I am unable to go. I recently found out that I have end-stage kidney disease.

I sent Trivago Deals proof that I am going through treatment right now from a Florida cancer specialist, and they declined to help me with my reservation. They would not change the date or let my sister go in my place. I asked that the reservation be put in her name, and I was told no.

I understand not changing the date or canceling the reservation, but there's no reason why they cannot change the name on the reservation to my sister's name. It does not say anything about that on the site that I booked this on.

Loss:
$653
Pros:
  • Unknown
Cons:
  • Scammers

Preferred solution: The date changed or have it put in my sister’s name so that she can go instead

User's recommendation: Do not use trivago or trivago deals

No responsibility taken to assist the customer with problems with Algotel although they promote on their site.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Claims a link to Algotel and poor customer support.
  • - Seeks reimbursement for two incidents; hotel charged them and funds returned to Algotel.
Updated by user Apr 10, 2026

I received acknowledgement of receipt of my email. Have not received any further communication.

Original review Apr 07, 2026

Hopefully you will soon be investigated for your business affiliations. You knowingly utilize Algotel with their history of customer dissatisfaction with no assistance.

I have two incidents I am seeking reimbursement from due to the hotel charging me and returning monies to Algotel. Will stick with Booking.com or Expedia where customer service is a priority and you can reach someone.

Distasteful TV commercial on TUBI

AI Highlights
  • - Ads show beheading imagery, which the reviewer finds tasteless in the current climate.
  • - The reviewer has not used TRIVAGO.

While TRIVAGO itself may be wonderful, I cannot say I have ever used it. My concern is with the TRIVAGO commercial that runs every few minutes/ With beheading of non-Muslims by burying their body up to the neck waiting to be executed.

I think the commercial with the men's heads in the sand is tastless in this political climate.

My gut reaction every time. A viewer.

I have been trying to contact Trivago to delete my vacation rental listing that was unsolicited and has some of our property photos mixed in with inaccurate photos of some other property and inaccurate text info that we supply off-street parking and allow pets, albeit while they post our 163 excellent reviews! I want Trivago.com to delete the listing for our rental! However, there is no live person to speak to in order to delete my listing, which I never asked for in the first place—totally unsolicited!

They werent. They were all middle seats all throughout the plane when was the first time flyer, and neither of the extra support this happened multiple times we took three flights. It turned out on the last flight. We had to pay extra money to half of the signed seat.

This was not told to us when we booked. The seat will not use this website again to book anything

I was sent to this format because I found a complaint. It has not been resolved.

I purchased three tickets from Indianapolis to Miami. The tickets were supposed to be seated together and said they were all over the plane in middle seats, then I was informed that I had to pay extra money to have assigned seats. I'm out of pocket $154.

I would like an apology or refund in this matter. This is not the way we do business in America.
