Simple and stress free booking

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Booking was quick and uncomplicated.
  • - Many options with competitive prices.
  • - Arrival was seamless; the staff had all necessary information.

What I liked most was how uncomplicated everything felt. I searched for hotels, compared a few options and booked within minutes.

The prices were competitive and there were plenty of choices available.

When I arrived at the property, the reservation was already there and the staff had all the necessary information. It's one of those services you don't think much about because everything just works properly.

Booking #16601**** | Lindos, Rhodes | 5 August 2026
Extremely disappointing and unacceptable experience with ZenHotels.
I was travelling with my husband and our two children (family of four) and had a confirmed booking through ZenHotels. On arrival, we discovered that the hotel was overbooked.

The hotel told us they had already informed ZenHotels, meaning ZenHotels had time to contact us before our arrival.
They did not.
At around 8 a.m., I contacted customer service. I was repeatedly told that they would find a solution and that I could also send them an alternative hotel for them to book.
I found one available property approximately 3 km away. It was not ideal, but with two children and no accommodation, we were willing to accept it. I immediately sent it to ZenHotels.
They did not book it.
Instead, I was repeatedly told to wait.

I could not reasonably book it myself because I had been told ZenHotels would arrange it, my original payment had not yet been refunded (refund could take up to 5 working days), and the alternative was more expensive.
While I waited, my husband, our two children and I were outside with our luggage, with nowhere to stay.
After hours of waiting, ZenHotels ultimately told me they could not find a solution and cancelled the booking, leaving me to find accommodation myself.
I repeatedly asked to speak to a manager and was promised a callback.
No manager ever called.
We eventually had to book accommodation in another town and abandon our plans in Lindos.
ZenHotels later stated in writing:
As an online travel agency, Zenhotels.com acts as a facilitator and is not the owner or direct supplier of the hotel.
I understand that ZenHotels does not own the hotel.

But when a confirmed booking is OVERBOOKED, customers expect meaningful assistance not to be left stranded with their children.
This was not simply an overbooking. It was the complete lack of assistance and accountability afterwards that made this experience unacceptable.
ZenHotels slogan is Zen Holiday.
Unfortunately, our experience was anything but.
I would strongly advise families to think twice before relying on ZenHotels for an important trip.
Loss:
$1
Cons:
  • 0 respect for customer even if it includes family with children

Preferred solution: I would like to case to be scheduled and read by a higher management. The way my case was handled is unrealistic and unacceptable.

User's recommendation: Do not trust this company to book your hotels

Fraudulent Company / DO NOT USE

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - ZenHotels site glitched; booking showed incomplete.
  • - ZenHotels charged a non-refundable $796.
  • - Neither company refunded after multiple contacts.

Fraudulent Company / DO NOT USE

The ZenHotels website glitched three times when I tried to book a room and stated that the transaction wasn't completed. I went to Booking.com and completed the booking the first time and for a lower rate.

The next day I received notice that ZenHotels booked the non-refundable room ($796). After multiple communications with ZenHotels and the Pegasus International Hotel in Key West, neither would cancel the booking or refund the erroneous charge.

Both companies are greedy crooks.

Loss:
$796

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: Use Booking.com

No Refund

Updated by user Sep 16, 2026

Never book a hotel with this lowly, thieving agency. I cancelled my reservation MONTHS before check-in, but they refused to issue me a refund or travel credit for a future booking. They kept my money without providing anything; that’s larceny.

Original review Sep 01, 2026

I cancelled my reservation months in advance, but they refused to issue me a refund or travel credit. Representatives are inflexible and uncooperative. Never use this agency to book a hotel.

Smooth experience from booking to stay.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Prices were attractive and booking was easy.
  • - The page loaded slowly; confirmation was fast.
  • - Check-in was expected and the process was clear.

Found ZenHotels.com while looking for hotel discounts and decided to give it a shot. The prices were attractive and the booking process didn't require jumping through a bunch of unnecessary steps, thugh the main page loaded too long.

I received confirmation quickly and had no trouble contacting the hotel before arrival.

Everything was exactly as expected when I checked in. It's always nice when an online booking service keeps things simple and transparent.

Preferred solution: Price reduction

Better experience than expected

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - ZenHotels had a lower rate than others.
  • - Confirmation arrived quickly; details were clear.
  • - No reservation issues and the room matched what I booked.

Honestly I booked through ZenHotels because the rate was lower than on other websites. I was a little skeptical at first, but everything turned out great.

The booking confirmation arrived quickly and customer information was easy to access. At the hotel there were no problems with the reservation and the room was exactly what I booked.

The whole experience felt smooth and professional. I'll definitely check their offers again before my next vacation.

Preferred solution: Price reduction

Restaurant overpriced for what you get and limited menu options. The hotel itself is in a good location near attractions and the rooms were well-maintained and quiet.
