I recently had to cancel my trip to ***** because of my friend who lives there and I requested a refund but I've only received automated emails. I've called and emailed them multiple times and I just want my refund. I do not feel roomer travel is a legitimate company at all and this isn't any way to treat a customer.Business response

Better Business Bureau:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:No one has reached out to me still as mentioned above. Everyone is al of a sudden a third party vendor with no name. In the letter from this "company" roomer travel my name isn't mentioned only dear customer and at the bottom its from ********************** and not from a **** or ***************. Still all automated responses with no call, text, or email and this is exactly why I'm questioning this company's legitimacy.
In order for the BBB to appropriately process your response, you MUST answer the question above.
Sincerely,
***************************

Roomer Travel is a company that sells hotel rooms for others. In my case I booked a non refundable hotel room that I was no longer able to utilize and so I listed it for sale with roomer - Listed room on 9/11/22 ($900 value but listed for $200-$900)- The business informed me on 9/15/22 that the room had sold and that I needed to contact the hotel to swap the name from mine to "***** **"- The reservation was from 9/24/22 - 9/27/22 and I was told I would get paid 10 days after the checkout day.- It has been more than 10 days and I have attempted to reach out to the company about this issue and have been completely ignored. This company owes me my cut of the sale which according to them was $200.01 (see email)Customer response

I sold a hotel reservation on Roomer on September 22,2022 for $550 with the expectation that I would be paid 10 days after checkout (checkout was October 2nd) on the 12th of October. It's now past this deadline and I have not been paid nor have I received a response from Roomer. Currently roomer is holding my money and refuses to hand it over to me. Seems like this business engages in fraudulent activities constantly and all I want is to be PAID.Business response
