Welcome to Bookvip Community

I was trying to book a vacation and after putting all my info and paid I needed to call to confirm a reservation so I called in and I was told I have to attend a 90 presentation for timeshare which was ok for me but then since I don't make more than xK a year as a combined income they cancelled my vacation. That's how bad they are .

i called after finding their informaiton on fb.. they help me get a suite for room for 399 when the advertisment was for 299.. i went with it and added 3 extra days.. they confirmed the booking is done.. so i went ahead and canceled my reservation that i had with another hotel.. couple of hours later i get a email..not a call but a email to call them back.. i call back to get the news that they have no rooms available, and to change my date.. I work for a public school district and this is the only time i get off.. we had our plans set till i ran across bookvip.. when we called to complain they only can say sorry and nothing else..

one hour later they sent a email again saying that i canceled my reservation.. wow.. these people are liars..

its a full scam and my vacation is ruined becuase of them..

I feel bookvip is a scam, as of right now I have been dealing with there sales people who cannot and will not give a correct answer. They try to lie to you but you catch them in their lies.

Right now we booked for a 5 star resort and they are trying to put us in dump three star. They cannot and will not give straight answers, and say they will call back but never do. I do believe they offer top resorts and then put you in the lesser or lowest resort of that chain. I feel this how ordeal is a scam and have wasted over 5 hours trying to straighten this out with no help.

They don't email you so there is no record of anything that was talked about. There is not even a confirmation email on payment very shady.

I will be following up daily until my issue is resolved.

On 3/10/2016 my daughter and I booked a vacation with Bookvip with vacation dates of 4/18/16-4/23/26 at a certain resort; we paid over $612 for those dates at that resort; we booked by phone to make sure those dates were open; the next day my daughter got a call from the company and they said those dates are all sold out and we had the option of staying at another resort that was basically a dump or change our travel dates; we said no to both as neither was acceptable to us; our flights are paid for and our vacations at work are during that time; they still charged my credit card for the amount of the reservation that they say is fully booked and they can't accommodate; I only authorized them to charge credit card for that resort and for those dates; I asked them to cancel the reservation ( even though why would I have to cancel a reservation that doesn't exist because they overbooked) and on each phone call we made back to them they want us to call back after next Wednesday; I'm not ***; that happens to be after deadline to cancel with no charge; the phone rep said it takes weeks to months to get a refund. BULL!!!

As fast as you can charge my card, you can credit it. This was fraud. I only authorized them to charge for that trip and even though they say it's sold out, they charged my card anyway. I called my major credit card company and explained what happened and that we need that money to book our trip.

The credit card company agreed and attempted to make a three way call with them to get them to agree to s credit immediately so she could reverse the charges but all we got is the long period of being on hold and then call got dropped. We are going to try again on Monday. What this place is doing is fraud. They charge your credit card vacations even though they know aren't available.

Stay away.

This is a classic bait and switch. Why are these people still in business

I went on Bookvip because we heard so much about Westgate in orlando we actually thought about buying timeshare. When the opportunity came for us to take a small vaction BookVip came on my facebook page.

So I went to reserve and low and behold 4 days later is when the horror began. I recieved a email for me to call and when I called they let me know that someone who I didnt know was traveling to the same hotel and i needed to cancel my reservations. So I ended up caneling and reserving for another Westgate resort and here I go again another email anothe persons at the same hotel. When i told them that my husband was retired military they said we couldn't book.

I felt like they were being prejudice against me and they have my card information and here today i still have no reservations. I recieved a call today and still no reservation. My vacation was planned for the first week in April and its ruined because this has taken so long.

I am so disappointed that contacted this company. Veronica Reid

We book a three day get away with BookVIP, I thought everything was going to work out week till we got to the site and were misled about what was included in our stay. Paid resort fee and still has to paid $20 a person to use the waterpark that was inside the resort. Then attended what we thought would be a 90 minute tour, but ended up being 4 hours!!!

This was cancelled within the 7 day window. I received two confirmations on January 23 of the cancellation and the charges would be reversed within 5-7 days.

It is now 5 weeks later and the charges are still on my card. I have been diagnosed with an illness that requires me stay close to home until my medications become regulated. So I may not be able to take a trip this year.

I need this resolved immediately.

I am attaching a copy of my cancellation notice. Please contact me as soon as possible.

On the actual site it says "per couple" which normally means two people. Normally "couple" doesn't mean having to be married or living common-law, it's two people. No where on this site does it define "couple." So, when I booked I was told I would receive something from the resort. I never did. When speaking to an agent through BookVIP they asked what my partner did, his work, etc. I told them. Just recently found out the resort wants proof of living together two pieces. I own the house, own it for ten years, dating this man for almost four years. In no way, shape or form will I put any type of attachment of my partner's name to this house! I tried to get my money back, they said I can't, which is not right. Find out this presentation that's suppose to be 90 - 120 minutes is about buying some sort of real estate properties...no where in their website do they stay what it's about, which is the catch for the low prices. Someone I knew went, they didn't want to purchase the real estate, and they were treated like dirt, that's wrong.

Also with the common-law status, so what happens if the couple breaks up in the mean time? We are paying for a vacation we can't even do? That's wrong. I'm suppose to leave April 04 and still fighting with this...wish I could just get my money back and say the heck with it.

One: the website should define "couple"

Two: the website should state WHAT the presentation is about.

Three: you can't really plan anything because you really don't know which days this presentation is going to be because they can't give you an exact day just a day or two into your stay which a stay could be three to five days.

Four: BookVIP doesn't like to send anything in an email, and the resort never sent anything stating what's expected. I happen to like things in writing.

Five: BookVIP says press the # key and they will call you back...didn't work for me. I had to stay on the line anywhere from 30 - 45 minutes before someone answered.

All I want is my money back. Never again will I book with them.
