"Bait-and-Switch Scam: Explicitly Lied in Chat Support"Do NOT use hotelbookings.com. They are a predatory platform that uses deceptive listings and outright lies to steal money from travelers. I booked a room because they advertised it as pet-friendly. To be absolutely sure, I used their customer service chat, where the representative explicitly lied and said, 'I am on the phone with the hotel right now and yes, they are pet friendly.'This was a total fabrication. When I checked the property details, the hotel strictly prohibited pets. While the hotel staff was kind enough to cancel my reservation due to the false advertising, hotelbookings.com hid behind a 'non-refundable' policy to pocket my money. They are forcing me to pay for two rooms I could not legally use. They are thieves—book directly with hotels instead." I’m super disappointed in American Express because I totally thought they’d have my back on this. Sigh.
