Loved Bring Fido Website. To be honest I had never heard about this site until I was trying to find a Cabin where I could bring my dog. All the other sites I went on either said they were closed for the season or were sold out. Then I found this site after googling places I could bring my pet with. I will definitely be using this site to help me with future reservations!! Thank you! We had an easy reservation experience and a GREAT time!

Price very deceptive.
Price very deceptive.
Love the concept of searching for places that are pet friendly. We booked a weekend away, first trip away for our family for a very long time. Great location, accommodation and host.
What we found mortifying was the US charge on our credit card rather than an AU charge that we were expecting.
We have re-stepped through the booking process and at no time during the initial search does it state US$, (and why would it when searching on the Australian site), it sneakily puts this on where you confirm your details. Quite deceptive as it shows the AU price right up until you confirm details and submit your request.
Our two nights away ended up costing us not far off double of what we expected, not what we could really afford, or we would never have booked.
Please make the currency clear, right from the start.

We're very sorry you had such a negative experience and apologize for the confusion. We do not currently have an Australian site, though we plan to offer that in the future. You are able to adjust the currency at the bottom of our website and that will carry through the purchase process. If you do not manually make this change to your country's currency, the default USD will be displayed and is what will be charged, along with the expected exchange rate. We can certainly look into making this a little more clear and appreciate your feedback.

I only use this website when traveling with my 2 dogs!
I love this website. Lots of current reviews and information on pet walking areas, etc. It also gives you the extra charges for pets, size and number of pets allowed, so you do not get to the hotel and it is sooooo expensive..Information is very accurate and I only use this site when traveling

BringFido rocks!
BringFido is our first stop when planning trips. The first time we booked hotels on the site, a pet concierge phoned us to let us know that one of the hotels we chose had changed their pet policy and no longer allowed dogs. She found an alternate location for us. If we hadn't used BringFido, we wouldn't have known until it was too late. The information they provide on pet-friendly restaurants and activities is helpful and reliable. BringFido is an invaluable resource for people who care about their pets.

Unreliable information
Positive things: concept is good. Provide information about hotel pricing when travelling with dogs. One start for that.
Negative things:
1. Information about extra fees is unreliable (at least in Spain). I tried to use service 2 times. BringFido web site says "No extra fees" for dogs. Hotel says extra fee (20€ , 35€) must be paid. Information in BringFido seems to be outdated. According to hotel persons, during the Covid (3 years ago), there was no extra fee but it is not valid anymore. Improvment: please check and update information in BringFido frequently.
2. Pet Friendly Quarantee does not work. When I select booking date and select "Book now", service says "reservations are ALWAYS backed by our Pet Friendly Guarantee". Anyhow I had to pay extra 20€ in hotel. When contacting BringFido customer service they told me Pet Friendly Guarantee is NOT ALWAYS valid but only if reservation is done one day before. Improvment: Web say should say "reservations MAY be backed up by our Pet Friendly Guarantee" or even better, application should check the current date and reservation date and inform user if Guarantee is valid or NOT.
3. Making reservation using mobile phone application and credit card does not work. I tried 3 different credit cards and systems informs "unavailable SCA". Same mobile phone and credit card works fine with other booking system (e.g. booking.com, hotels.com, etc). Improvement: fix the security/SCA bug of your application

We truly appreciate your feedback and are glad you found us, even if it was not the experience we aim for at BringFido. While we make hundreds of updates to the policies of properties on our site every week, it is possible that a hotel changes something and it's too recent for us to have picked up on it yet. Covid policies stayed in place for a long time and some properties still haven't made any changes there. We welcome guest communication about any updates they discover since they are there in person and we are not (https://www.bringfido.com/lodging/post/). However, this is exactly why we require a guest speak with us first if it’s a same day reservation so that we can verify all of this information ahead of time.
So, that is correct that we can offer our pet friendly guarantee only if we've been given enough time to verify the reservation details ourselves, and that is 24 hours. We work tirelessly to communicate with hotels about every single reservation made on our site prior to the evening of the stay, specifically to ensure guests do not run into any surprises at check in. With a reservation made for that very evening, we simply don't have enough time to make that connection with the hotel, particularly with an international hotel, as we are US based. That is stated in our pet friendly guarantee clearly for that reason. We hope you can understand why that’s necessary.
Using a credit card on any of our platforms does work. However, we do not currently support credit cards that require SCA (secure customer authentication). This is only found in some EU-issued cards and we do have a plan to work towards that capability in the future, but right now, we cannot support that method of payment. Guests most commonly use a different credit card and everything goes through, but it sounds as though all of your cards have that SCA requirement, so we regret that you ran into that issue.
We hope that clarifies things a bit, and we hope that you’ll give BringFido another opportunity to help you in your travels!
