Lola - Added Expense and Frustration to Travel
Where's the VALUE? I have had several reservations BOOKED FOR THE WRONG DATES (booked by the chat person with dates clearly given and emailed back to me), not able to select specific flights and connecting flights, missing out on points for hotel stays, and CHARGED MORE ON LOLA for what I could have booked items at directly with the hotel or airline - SEVERAL TIMES. I have reported this to my company's team managing Lola. For me to take the time and contact Lola letting them know each time I found a better deal is COSTING MY COMPANY MORE IN MY TIME ALONE. On using the mobile app to find a hotel in Las Vegas, the search came up blank - showing me NO HOTELS SHOWING FOR LAS VEGAS. I did this several times right now - blank. I have had to change plans made thru Lola - A NIGHTMARE. You cannot deal with the airline or hotel directly (most hotels indicated they were made thru EXPEDIA), and when calling the Lola number it rang and rang 15+ times and NO ONE ANSWERED - tried this several times. I finally resorted to the chat, which I find too difficult to use when trying to make multiple changes. Trying to have Lola chat book a room for me, I was told THEY COULD NOT DO THAT, and I was left on my own. Overall, I have used the app for travel per our corporate policy, but find it CHARGING MORE, TAKING MORE TIME, and DIFFICULT TO MAKE TRAVEL CHANGES than it would if I did it myself. Try standing at the front desk of a hotel booked via Lola and have them tell you they cannot help you because the reservation was made thru EXPEDIA? I am trying to understand the value in using the Lola service, and still searching...

I am so sorry to hear that we did not live up to your expectations. We get it right most of the time, but we're not perfect and I'm sorry we failed you. I am reading through your chats now and will make sure the team had looked into any system bugs we could fix or improvements we could make to help our product and service work better in the future. Thank you for the feedback, we take every customer interaction as an opportunity to learn and improve. Thanks, Mike Volpe CEO at Lola.com
