WATCH OUT: TRAVELURO ARE SCAM ARTISTS. I made two bookings with them (looked like great deals, of course). One booking actually worked, and the other they pocketed the money. Both of these bookings were at the same hotel. The hotel had never heard of the second booking, and Traveluro kept the money, claiming that they paid the hotel already. The hotel had never been paid.

Traveluro is a hotel booking site scam. One pays them for rooms they have supposedly purchased at hotels around the country/world. Traveleuro takes your money, but they do not reserve the room for you. I got a hotel room through their website, I received a confirmation number by email, and I received another confirmation email the day before my arrival date reminding me of the particulars of my reservation. However, when I arrived at the hotel, there was no record of me and there was no room reserved for me! I spent an hour on the phone with Traveluro trying to sort it out. They kept putting me on hold and I kept getting cut off. They argued and argued and argued with me and stalled and told me to wait an hour and they'd fix it, or wait 30 more minutes as they needed to get in touch with the hotel...or wait for this or wait for that. Finally, I gave up. I demanded my money back and they did not want to give it back to me, they kept insisting that I simply stay in the lobby and all would be well in a few hours. I demanded a refund. I ended up driving 2 hours to find a place to sleep, my alternative being to sleep in my car, as the hotel I was supposed to have a reservation at had no rooms. What a scam. Traveluro has only one thing to do--book your room, and they do not do it. They just take your money and leave you stranded. Ultimately, one must pay twice for a hotel room: once to Traveluro for a fake hotel room and then again to the hotel where one finds a room on the day of travel.
