Major Highlights of the Week

Invalid Bookings
Hopper's hotel reservations sometimes fail to be recognized by the hotels, leading to invalid bookings upon arrival. This issue undermines trust in the app's reliability for hotel bookings.
I arrived at my hotel only to find out my reservation was never valid, despite booking through Hopper.
Price Freeze Failures
The price freeze feature is unreliable, with users finding that rooms are still available on other platforms despite Hopper claiming they are sold out. This discrepancy damages the credibility of the price freeze offering.
I froze a hotel price on Hopper, but when I tried to book, they said it was sold out, yet it was available on other sites.
Referral Program Issues
Users experience problems redeeming referral bonuses, with the app crashing or failing to apply credits during booking. This diminishes the incentive to use and promote the referral program.
I collected referral bonuses, but the app crashes every time I try to use them for a booking.
Customer Service Gaps

Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

I used Hopper to freeze the price on a hotel, and when I tried to book it, they claimed the rooms were sold out. That was not true. I immediately checked Priceline and Hotels.com, and the same rooms were still available. I ended up booking through Hotels.com with no issues. This experience was unacceptable and made me lose trust in Hopper’s service. If you’re going to offer a price freeze, honor it don’t mislead customers.

I have collected over 10 referral bonuses and when I go to use the cash to book a room the app continuously crashes even after two-step verification of various payment methods. I’ve called customer support several times and they try to get me to book without my discount. Do not waste your time with this app, their price freeze does not work either and they were sued in a class action over it.

I use Hopper for flights obsessively. They have a huge range of airlines so I can see the best option. But they don’t have contact with a lot of the hotels on their lists, and I’ve arrived to reservations only to have had them never be valid bookings.
