## Review summary

Users frequently report deceptive pricing and hidden fees, with web/app prices changing or not being honored. Booking integrity problems—rates that don’t exist, reservations not found, or hotels swapping after booking—are common. App reliability issues (lag, login friction, crashes) and poor customer service exacerbate frustration. A minority praise finding good deals or saving money, but overall trust is undermined by inconsistent prices, forced app-download tactics, and support problems.

### Pros

- User-friendly interface and easy to book stays
- Potential to find hotel deals and savings on some bookings
- Some users report significant savings on initial bookings (e.g., $50+)
- Overall sentiment includes occasional positive experiences when a good deal is found

### Cons

- Deceptive pricing and hidden fees: prices shown online or in-app do not match final amounts and extra charges can apply
- Booking integrity issues: rates that don't exist, reservations not honored, and hotel changes after booking
- App reliability and usability problems: lag on certain devices (e.g., Pixel 7 Pro), login and security friction, crashes
- Poor customer service: reports of unhelpful, hard-to-reach support and long holds
- Marketing tactics perceived as pushy: promotions that claim lower prices to drive app downloads or data harvesting
