We were planning a European trip starting in September but we are having issues using Booking.Com for apartments.
We were able to book two apartments but after the second booking we could not book another apartment. The error message we kept on receiving was:
- “Sorry, we were not able to take your payment. Please try using a different credit card or PayPal”.
One of the support staff thought that the problem was with the credit card company so I tried another credit card with the same results. Both credit card companies stated that there was no entry in their databases for any Booking.com transaction.
We tried the following to book an apartment:
- Windows 10 and Windows 7 operating systems
- Different credit cards
- Firefox and Chrome web browsers
- Cleared the cache
- Remove all “ad” blockers
- Tried booking at different hours of the day
After many hours on the phone with their support staff (as well as supervisors) no resolution was found.
Has anyone had similar problems booking apartments with Booking.Com? If so, how did you resolve this issue?
