User Reviews

User reviews show a divided view of Hotwire on iOS. A minority praise the app for potential savings and straightforward booking when it functions, with some noting visible pricing and good deals. However, a large number of reviews highlight serious reliability issues (crashes, loading trips, sign-in problems), booking errors and refund challenges (charges with no reservation, difficulty getting refunds), and inconsistent customer service. Additional complaints focus on misleading deals and variable hotel quality. Overall, reliability and service gaps outweigh the savings positives, suggesting improvements are needed to restore trust.

Pros

Potential for very competitive deals and low prices when used smartly
Upfront price visibility including taxes and fees helps with price comparisons
Straightforward booking flow when the app functions correctly

Cons

Frequent app reliability issues: crashes, hangs, and trip data not loading
Reservation errors and refund problems: bookings missing or overcharged with slow or unclear resolutions
Poor customer service experiences: rude reps and inconsistent support
Perceived misleading deals and inconsistent hotel quality: fake deals, mismatched star ratings, and variable value

I booked a hotel for an upcoming trip. I received an email confirmation (thankfully), but in the app it shows I have no upcoming itineraries or purchases. I'm so glad I saved the email because I'd be screwed otherwise. I tried using their chat function, waited 14 minutes without an agent connecting, even when I marked it as urgent. I called the phone number, and unless this was a flight for a package, they can't help me with a simple hotel reservation via phone either. Worthless.

The new UI/UX has many bugs. For example if you click sign in after starting a booking the app freezes. More importantly my last booking was at a hotel that was already full booked. I showed up and was told Hotwire never paid the hotel as well as they didn’t have any rooms. Hotwire didn’t refund me either. Frustrating process. The hotel remained on the app too after I tried to search for another one. Not using hotwire again.
