Shania Zachariah filed complaint against Booking.com on Mar 12, 2026
I booked a round trip flight on booking.com which cost ******. The initial flight was cancelled by the airline and they did not process the refund until now, it's been almost a week and I have been following up with booking.com and the airline every single day. The airline confirmed that I am eligible for the refund. Booking.com comes up with new excuses every day to not give me the refund. The first reason was that I was marked as "no show" by the airline - I checked with the airline and they informed me that they have clearly mentioned to booking.com that the flight was cancelled by them and that they need to issue a refund. The second lie booking.com said was that they need a waiver code from the airline and the airline is not responding - I checked again with the airline and they told me that again, they have confirmed to booking.com that there is no need for a waiver and that they need to process the refund. Finally after pointing out all the lies they have been telling me, I am no longer able to get through to their support. And the mental pain I have to go through to do all of this is unbelievable - firstly booking.com keeps cutting off my chat because they are only prioritising customers travelling in the next * days apparently so every chat I initiate automatically gets closed, secondly they do not even have an email where I can talk to one single poc - they only have noreply emails. Their call takes ** mins or more to connect and after that they transfer me to another department and then the call automatically gets cut after ** mins - it just goes blank and nothing happens. I talk to a different person each day, repeating the same thing again and again and each person tells me a different reason as to why I have not received my refund. I still do not know what has happened to my refund am rightfully eligible for.

Many thanks for your proactive approach and prompt action. This has accelerated and helped in resolving my issue.
