Refund of reservation by Booking.com

I refer to the several communications with call centre staff on Customer Care to assist and render a service which is not complied with. My conversations with the following staff members have up to now not been attended to and did not even render a response after being informed on the facts: Patricia P BOUDOUR Z MARK KRISS DONNUEL K Remon Youssef Margie M Floren Rem I have provided comprehensive details as requested by emails on the matter namely: • Date of reservation: 2 – 13 August 2024 • Reservation and pin number: 40289801 86. Pin: 1215 • Resort name: ANNA OF ZANZIBAR BWEJUU DONGWE TANZANIA • Receipt of Payment : $864. 89 dated 14 Jan 2024 • Personal Bank statement as proof of payment- see attachment • Confirmation of change of booking dates: see attachment dated 23 March 2024 The facts contained in the attachments are the bone of contention as this Resort could not honour the reservation as it was officially closed for renovation since March 2024. This aspect was clarified telephonically after the investigation done by FLOREN REM. He too confirmed that Booking .com was not duly informed of the closure. That Booking.com would immediately request a refund to this matter. He confirmed that this client is not at default and that the resort did not ensure that this client is duly informed. This client now compels Booking.com to address this matter as it was reported as early as JUNE 2024 and yet no client service has been rendered to alleviate this predicament. Regards Dr EL Steenberg

Bad Hotel and Poor Customer Service from B.C

Conf: 4378.977.296, PIN: 1802 Dear Sirs. I am following up on a complaint I made by phone 14/7/2024 regarding the poor quality and service at the GO INN Nana, Bangkok. The room is completely internal with no ventilation. When the bathroom is used the smell permeates the room for hours. When the shower is used, my fresh clothes which can on be hung on a rail become damp. The walls are thin, and I can hear the person in the next room coughing and vomiting through the night. The hose on the toilet has burst twice in the middle of the night while I was sleeping. I awoke and turned off the tap before any major flooding could occur. I understand that the room was not expensive, but it was advertised at 50% discount and as an apartment when in reality it did not have facilities associated with just a room. The staff are polite and respond to requests for service, but they don't seem enthusiastic. My stay was booked until 30/7/2024. At the moment I am in Phnom Penh on a side trip at the M9 Kirirom which is excellent and also booked through you. I return to Bangkok 18/7/2024 and have obtained alternative accommodation at a similar price not far from the GO INN. This is 100% better than the room at the GO INN and was booked through Agoda. Your agent that I spoke to on the phone said they would contact the GO INN and get back to me within 24 hours. It has now been 3 days and I have not heard from Booking.com or the GO INN. I travel quite a lot as I am retired and have been using Booking.com for my accommodation both in Australia and overseas. This episode has shaken my faith in Booking.com for future bookings as poor advertising online combined with poor customer service is not something I want to deal with again.

Pending Refund

Overall (1 out of 5)
Customer Service (1 out of 5)
Quality of service or product (1 out of 5)
Affordability (1 out of 5)
It is to inform you that a major amount of my cancelled booking (customer reference 40-511757799) airline ticket is due more than a month. On 10th may 2024 I booked a two-way ticket from New Delhi to Coimbatore. For which you have charged my Rs - 51097.72. Then I have requested to reschedule my ticket for which you have charged Rs – 31764. Which is way more than the actual reschedule charge. Then I had to cancel the ticket. Now from the cancelled ticket for indigo airline I have received Rs – 14473 on 16/05/2024. From the reschedule charge you should refund me Rs – 23814. Also, as per Vistara policy they have fully refunded the total amount of booking to Booking.com as I have cancelled the ticket on the same day. I should get a refund for that amount also. Despite multiple reminders 27/05/2024 3:49pm and 02/06/2024 2pm Booking.com is not refunding the amount. Providing me lame excuses for the refund. Their intentions are not good, the amount that had not been used for rebooking (Rs – 23814) was also not refunded. That is a very bad way to deal with the customer. I am totally unhappy with the service of Booking.com.

On refusal to accept the alternate, I was taken to another 2 Hotels which wer sub-standard 7. I had to pay Taxi additional charges for waiting and redirecting Please do needful. My confidence in Booking.com has been shaken. Regards Diwyesh Dave

Guests damage sofa and lamp and no recompense

Overall (1 out of 5)
Customer Service (1 out of 5)

Affordability (1 out of 5)
I feel the need to share my recent experience with bookings.com. I had a guest stay 28th April and since then I have made over 30 emails and over 10 calls regarding the fact that the guest broke my sofa and a lamp with visible evidence of photos on the day. I have submitted the damage payment request on the 30th April and I have had a $150 guest damage deposit before this stay. The guest had refused to pay any damages and bookings.com continue to send me in circles with no answers. Even after the guest refused to pay (quality guest) bookings.com sent me another message to send a damage payment request to guest: it seems they have no records to refer to as I am consistently being asked to submit damage photos and they keep sending the same generic emails after a month I can only assume their only recourse is if the guest has discernment and discretion to pay for the damages otherwise it seems there is no other recourse. I was on hold for 1.5 hours on the phone last week after waiting 20 minutes to be put through. And the person hung up after saying I would receive a document to fill in. My feedback is bookings.com leave it to guest discretion if they want to pay for damages and out of the 3 platforms they have the highest charges. My experience with Airbnb and guest Damages was much better. With evidence, receipts and the guest refusing to pay out they compensated me and it was a relatively efficient process. Bookings.com will Likely send me over 4 emails this week telling to submit a damage payment request to the guest and put a damage deposit on the house that was done weeks ago. It is important to know of other people’s experiences with the different platforms to make informed decisions and the lack of resolution and generic emails I receive. I haven’t even received the $150 damage deposit to me.

Le Nautilus

I booked one night stay through Booking.com at Le Nautilus on 7th May 2024. On the journey to Le Nautilus I received a call on my mobile from a lady asking me at what time I would arrive. I told her it would be between 1700 hours and 1800 hours. She then said she would probably still be there, but if not, she would put the key in the "box" near the door. I arrived at Le Nautilus at 17.30 hours, only to find it locked up and there was no one there. I then found the "box" which was actually a key safe but I had not been given the code, therefore I couldn't access the key. At this point I phoned the Hotel contact number only to get the answerphone. I phoned this number several times. I then phoned (we are available 24 hours a day) local number XXXXXX09 only to get the answerphone. I phoned this number several times. I then tried to phone the UK number provided on my confirmation booking form +44XXXXXXX2609, only to get a computerised answerphone asking me to enter the confirmation number 4615.348.934 and the pin code 2504 which I entered. But unfortunately the machine did not recognise the number. I tried to enter them again but at this point my mobile phone ran out of charge. The time was about 1930 hours and I felt I had no option but to find alternative accommodation for the night. This was a bit of a nightmare. At around 17.30 when we were trying to get in touch with Le Nautilus, 2 of their guests arrived and tried to help us open the key safe but to no avail. They had booked in that afternoon and can confirm that we were there at around 17.30 hours. I respectfully request a full refund on 100 euros. Kind regards Ian Handley
