Priceline does not honor their “Best Price Guarantee”. If you find a cheaper booking price for the same room at the same hotel for the same dates they will only cancel the reservation through them. They are supposed to give the option to cancel and re-book, or to supply the difference of the rooms, and with both these options give you a $50.00 coupon for your next Priceline booking (they will not give you the coupon) although it is stated on their website under terms and conditions under their guarantee. PLEASE BE CAREFUL THEY WILL NOT HONOR THEIR “BEST PRICE GUARANTEE” Their response was to me aws it “just depends”……that was it “it just depends” on what, I don’t know.

I booked a hotel room with Priceline and afterwards when I talked to a represntative I found out that I had to pay additional taxes at the hotel when I got there, also I found out by using Priceline some of the amenities may not be available. The next day I went to the hotel’s website to look at pictures and found the room would cheaper if I went through the hotel. I cancelled the priceline reservation and booked through the hotel, now I don’t have to worry about hidden fees, not being able to use the amenities, and I know my room floor plan.
