Hotwire Complaints
People love to complain about Hotwire. You might be thinking that a site like HotelDealsRevealed.com was in support of Hotwire — we are, but we always advocate educating yourself about how it works because purchases are non-refundable. We also want to help travellers save money on travel, and that doesn’t always mean Hotwire. Here are some trips to help you avoid pitfalls and complaints against Hotwire.

When you book, your credit card is charged and there is no cancelation clause. I have a bit of an inside scoop and I’m lead to believe that this will be changing soon. Hotwire will soon open up a very short cancelation window. Nothing confirmed quite yet.
Hotwire Hotel Ratings

For those who are unaware, hotels you purchase on Hotwire are non-refundable. Therefore it’s imperative to know if the rating is reliable or not. Unlike other sites, you cannot check out hotel ratings and reviews on TripAdvisor before you buy on Hotwire because you don’t know what hotel you’re getting. This makes it all the more important to have confidence in the hotel rating that you see before you buy.
