TravelUp Reviews Summary

The company demonstrates a mixed reputation, with notable strengths in the ease of the booking process and competitive pricing, which many customers found straightforward and efficient. However, significant concerns arise around customer service, particularly regarding unresponsive support, issues with reservation confirmations, and difficulties in modifying bookings. Instances of billing discrepancies and perceived bait-and-switch tactics have contributed to a growing sentiment of frustration among users. While some customers report positive interactions with staff, the overall trend indicates a need for improved communication and reliability to enhance customer trust and satisfaction.

Website needs work!
June 14, 2026

Website needs work! I definitely set the date for my hotel to the correct date (June 25). Your website does not allow the user to review the information before completing the reservation. The website them changed my reservation to a different date (June 28) and it did not tell me. I found out about the change via the confirmation email afterwards. Now it won't let me change it. This is a failure of your website. It's not legally ok to promise me one thing then deliver something different after I pay. I paid for a June 25 booking and received June 28.

I triple checked all the info I put in. They switched my payment information and the dates of my stay. You can get in touch with anyone. There's zero customer service. They basically stole my money and ignore any attempt at contact and resolution. Complete scam.

It was late at night when I accidentally choose the wrong dates. I immediately let customer service know. They told me nothing could be done because I chose the non refundable. I didnt ask for a refund. I asked if the date could be changed.

I sent an email to you asking for cancellation. The Red Roof Inn showed me confirmation of cancellation at their hotel, and said I should follow up with TravelUp, which I did with the above mentioned email. TravelUp has never responded to that email. My reservation was canceled - DO NOT CHARGE MY CREDIT CARD AND CONFIRM THE CANCELLATION AT MY EMAIL!

Booking was fine, but then I received a message that I need to "download the hotel voucher" and bring it with me when I check in. Other than a receipt, I am not sure what a "hotel voucher" is. I paid the full price for the hotel stay, and the cost is not refundable, so I hope that, when I arrive there without a hotel voucher, I am not turned away! Just added stress that was not necessary.

Travel up was easy, efficient and worry free. The hotel however, was older, pool not working, carpet dirty, we changed rooms 3 times. First room had a roach in bathroom, 2nd room, key would not work, back to desk, updated key, still wouldn't open, changed to another room... air was not on, had to wait for room lto get cold. People were very nice, but hotel needs a serious upgrade. Did not go down to breakfast, couldn't chance it.

Terrible customer service
June 2, 2026

Terrible customer service. Accidentally booked a room with the wrong date. Immediately reached out to try to make a correction and travel up took 24 hrs to respond. So I was unable to fix the issue. Their customer service did not care, at all.

I booked at Hotel #1 and printed the confirmation receipt.

Shortly after completing the reservation, I received an email using the same confirmation number for a Hotel #2.

I did not book Hotel #2 and do not want that reservation. I specifically booked Hotel #1. I have sent 2 emails to ask that the reservation be corrected and have received no reply.

May 24, 2026
Updated review

In most respects experience has been good. Some negative concerns: 1- no ability to cancel once reservation was made. Even if sickness prevented my ability to take the trip Zi would still have to pay in full—not acceptable.
2- I received the confirmation letter from Travel up but there was no way to contact the hotel directly. I did manage to do research and get the right number but this process could have been more convenient if TravelUp had facilitated open correspondence with the hotel.

I thought the experience was confusing. I am almost sure I entered June 4-5, and 2 double beds, but these parameters were not readily available prior to the submit button. Upon receiving confirmation e-mail, the date was wrong,(June 3-4). And the type was wrong, (one single bed) I immediately tried to correct the problem, but to no avail. #HTT-W55DNN_9

Booking was easy, very strange when I arrived at the hotel to not see a live person greeting me but had to communicate with a computer. The process was easy. Proceeding to my room that was very spacious and clean. The entire hotel was very clean. My only negative was the breakfast that needs great improvement. If you are going to offer breakfast at least make it edible.
