Thank you for joining us. Whether its for vacation or special occasion at home lots of us love scouring the web for discounts. Many of those come from thirdparty sites that can lead to confusion or other costs you never saw coming. How can you protect yourself from that irresistible sweet deal . Heres abcs Rebecca Jarvis. Reporter its a roaring good time. The 74th annual bike week in Daytona Beach, florida. And for hotel owners like merrill, its the highlight of the year. Very busy. Its extremely busy. We get booked fully booked weeks and weeks in advance. Reporter which is why she was surprised when a couple walked in that week with a reservation for two nights at a rate of 79. The rates are around 200 a night at that time. And we were really shocked and thought, oh my gosh we dont have a room for them. And look at the rate that they have. Reporter she owns the flamingo inn, a Daytona Beach mainstay for over 30 years. When she checked the couples reservation it showed the room hadnt been booked with the hotel it was reserved through reservationcounter. Com, an Online Agency she had never heard of. There were more people. Reporter seven couples in all, including Kevin Childress and his wife, who drove from baltimore, maryland, expecting an oceanfront room and their own private hot tub. We dont have a room with a hot tub, we dont have a hot tub inside, we dont have a hot tub outside. We are a reasonable priced hotel. Reporter childress told abc news he thought he booked herewith room directly with flamingo inn when he called a reservation number from what he says appeared to be the official hotel site. He noticed his email confirmation wasnt sent by the hotel and learned it was from a thirdparty site. They were enraged. I felt very bad about it. But you know that is not our job, to Police People online. We started to hear about the problem a few years ago. But in recent times, it has absolutely skyrocketed. Reporter katherine lugar, president and ceo of the American Hotel and lodging association, says theres been an alarming uptick in complaint friday consumers who say they believed they were booking with the hotel, only to find out later theyd given their information to a thirdparty agency. So what exactly are these thirdparty sites . Today, 14 of all hotel rooms sold are booked online. Amounting to about 23 billion a year. The majority of these rooms are reserved through Online Travel agencies like expedia. Com, priceline. Com, and booking. Com. Which get their inventory from hotels and other resources. But theres also a second tier of booking sites affiliated with the bigname agencies. Also offering hotel rooms for sale. This is where lugar says we run into trouble. Many of whom actually look a lot like the hotel site, but in fact, theyre not. Reporter these thirdparty sites can show up in search results as paid ads and when consumers book a room through these sites, often unwittingly. Common complaints include confusing cancelation and refund policies. Ignored requests for disabled or special accommodations. Lost or misbooked reservations. Which turns out what happened to those guests at the flamingo inn. Reservationcounter. Com says it experienced a system error that misdirect the flamingo inn bookings to a quality inn in North Carolina stranding the customers. This was a mistake, a glitch in the system. They promised they had all problems solved and i believed them. Reporter customers have been refunded. She points out the trouble could have been avoided if they had dealt with the hotel directly. But are xhourconsumers just being careless and naive in their web searches . Im going to try booking the hilton in providence by doing a google search. We searched for Providence Hilton reservations and came up with three sites. All three had the hotel name in their web address. Its the first thing you see in the address is hilton. Youd assume thats the hilton. Turns out, only this one belongs to hilton proper. Its not difficult to see why consumers are confused by what are sometimes called mirrored sites. They use the same logo and pictures putting the hotel brand front and center while keeping its own discreet. I cant imagine if youre the average traveler that you would think this is anything but the hilltop providence. Reporter in fact almost 2. 5 million potentially confusing bookings are made on thirdparty sites each year according to the ahla. Debbie, a frequent traveler and mother of two, said she booked with a thirdparty site that not only charged her up front for the wrong hotel but refused her request for a refund. Like many before her, she called what she thought was a hotels direct reservation line. I specifically said, is this marriott Reservations Center . She said this is reservations, i can help you. Reporter she booked the room. When a schedule change forced her to call the hotel to cancel they couldnt find my reservation. She said i didnt book it with marriott reservations. Reporter she was told if shed booked with them they would have refunded immediately. Because she didnt book with them directly there was nothing they could do. Bait and switch. If im fooled the average consumer doesnt stand a chance. Reporter we tracked down the folks behind reservationcounter. Com and reservationdesk. Com. Those sites that have pages that seemingly so closely resemble official hotel sites. To ask them if their site design is deliberate. If theyre trying to pass themselves off as official hotel sites. Daniel nelson, ceo of travel pass, the company that owns and operates reservationcounter. Com and reservationdesk. Com, tell abc news it is not their intent to mislead the customer. The goal of the site is to make prominent the customers hotel choice. In other words, he says, if im selling a lexus and you tell me you want a lexus, why would i show you a honda . None of this is illegal. And according to nelson, his Company Books millions of rooms per year with customer complaints measureing. 003 of all processed transactions. Our goal is to respond to and close all complaints within 24 hours. If no issues come up the customer who unwittingly booked a room through a thirdparty site is really none the wiser. But its a risk the ahla doesnt think consumers should have to take. Which is why its asking the ftc to open an investigation into these thirdparty sites and set stricter guidelines. Consumers should know who theyre booking with. The ftc has that regulatory responsibility and oversight function. To ensure that consumers are not being misled. Reporter since we contacted reservationcounter. Com and reservationdesk. Com, the pages for hilton in providence that so closely resemble the official hotel site have apparently been taken down. And expedia tells abc news that its taking Customer Feedback seriously and will regularly review our affiliates to ensure they are acting in the best interests of the travelers they serve. But for folks like debbie green span, she says she can only watch out for herself. If i could talk to one of those thirdparty reservation centers, reservation companies, right now that misrepresent themselves, i would say, shame on you. Thats not going to happen again. Not to me.
