Booking.com libelous comments about a neighbouring property

Booking.com is a disgrace at the moment. They seem to allow libellious comments on their site. A property next to a family members has started operating as a B&B. (104 Wrexham Road, Whitchurch, SY13 1HT). Now the verbally abusive owner of this B&B, allows her guests to trespass onto the neighbouring property, being 102 Wrexham Road.

On the evening of 16th Feb 2018, cctv outside 102 captured a gentleman guest from 104 on the grounds of 102, looking in various cars and loitering about on private property.

Due to the amount of break in's and theft in the locality recently, 102 asked what reason there was for the loitering. There was no valid reason as to why he was looking in vehicles outside 102, and so he was politly asked to leave.

102 have to put up with every night, trespassing, verbal abuse from 104, and damage to vehicles.

When the said gentleman left a review, 'Brendan', made a defamatory remark against 102 Wrexham Road. Booking.com seem to find this acceptable. It is completely untrue, and the CCTV evidence confirms this. We reserve the right to ask people politely to leave land they have no right to be on!

102 welcome guests to our town, however booking.com should not allow neighbouring properties to be bad mouthed when they aren't even relevant to the property..

Solicitors are aware, but it shows how much booking.com follow their standards, and are writing to the occupier of 104 again, but as she is already making defamatory comments on facebook, and other sites, its a shame to see it spread further.

Booking.com 50% - 175% charges hidden in the t&cs, 9 screens down from the main price given

Hello all,

I recently tried to book a hotel room for the night, at Booking.com (see below link), around 11am on the 20/02/2018.

https://www.booking.com/hotel/gb/guest-house-ellipse.en-gb.html

Hidden in the fine print on this page is a £20 'service' charge, and an entrance charge of £0-£50 depending on check-in time.
In my case that would be an extra +50%-+175% cost, on my £39 room.

The fine print is 9 screens down from the top of the page, making them very hard to spot.
In particular there were adverts of nearby attractions between the fine print and the main price, which suggested to this user of the website that there was no fine print (working on the assumption that fine print is more important than attractions).

The hotel refused to cancel the booking when my attention was drawn to these fees, with a cancellation fee of 75% of the original booking cost (which booking.com did manage to bargain down to 50%).

This has damaged my trust in Booking.com's prices, since there are other hotels around the £40 price point in the general area, which I would have gone to if I had easy access to all the facts.
Booking.com also refuse to let me make a guest review to warn other customers of these hard to find fees, if I cancel.

My desired resolution is to get the fee for the cancellation back, and be able to make a review warning other booking.com users of the fees in the T&Cs.
The booking number is [protected].

Best Regards;

David F

Booking.com cancellation of my booking [protected]

I made a booking in July for the Townhouse Hotel in Miami. I was unaware that my credit card had been the victim of attempted fraud and blocked for online activity. My booking was accepted and I looked forward to a stay at this lovely hotel where I had stayed before.
A while late I was sent a new card with a different number and didn't even consider that I needed to amend my hotel booking details.
I picked up an email from booking.com at 7 00 pm that day before I flew to Miami telling me my booking was cancelled. I then had to hastily arrange alternative accommodation in Miami, which I did, albeit in a much less salubrious hotel.
Why was I not given the chance to resolve the situation, which I could have easily done? you had all my details including my phone number.
My whole trip was nearly completely messed up becuase of this. I spoke to some other people who had the same issue regarding a credit card but were called by their booking agent and were able to resolve their issue.
I would be interested to hear your comments about my experience and what you propose to do to regain my confidence in using your "services" again.

Booking.com bad customer service!!!

I double booked the hotel reservation for my upcoming trip because there was a glitch on the website that I got a blank page after I submitted my first booking request. When I realized the mistake and called the customer service for refund for one of the bookings. They first refused to admit sth. was wrong with their system then the manager (called Abdel) of the customer service started to INTEGRATE me by asking various of questions to put the fault at me. When I pointed out that he should not try to put words into my mouth as that did not help to solve the issue. He responded back "when did I say that I am going to put words into your mouth?" I have never ever encountered anyone who is that bad mannered and unprofessional. I have to say there is also discrimination in this case. As the manager knew from my accent that English is not my first language, that's why he could be so rude by saying the above. I will never recommend anyone to use this website!

I have just returned from what should have been an idyllic holiday and complained to Bookings.com about 2 huge dogs on the property who barked outside my bedroom window all night then fought over and around me all day. Initially Bookings.com said I didn't complain at the time (I did) now they say the hotel won't compensate for the 14 days I endured there. What more can I do?

Booking.com cancelled booking

On 18 December 2017 I booked for vacation at Mount Sheba a Forever Lodge 3-star hotel for the dates 19th to 21st December. The system generated wrong dates after making a payment of R4250. And subsequently tried to change to correct date and declined. i tried several times until i cancel the application. I need a refund, this was not my fault and its insane to pay such amount and claim there is no refund . Please arrange for repayment.

Booking.com reservation not in the hotel's system

I booked for a total of 5 persons, from January 12-15 for a group (5 rooms). I received confirmation on the reservations, then an e-mail of the credit card update, informing the hotel is waiting on the 12th January for the guests arrival. Only to found out that our confirmation / bookings are not in Rose Rayhaan by Rotana (Dubai) hotel's system! The hotel updated their system with our booking just right there and there, able to accommodate only 2 guest and no longer available rooms for the 3 guests. The guests were exhausted and could have taken rest, instead were forced to find another hotel to accommodate them.

Booking.com false advertising

This is the third time Booking.com has completely lied in their ads about property they book. We were devastated when we arrived in a hideous room in Rio Maggiori Italy, with no electricity a dirty shared bathroom and bitten all night by bugs. We paid a higher than average rate for what was advertised as a room with a large balcony overlooking the ocean (which was also supposed to be "steps" to the beach) and instead were led for half-an-hour up a high hill into a tangle of bushes and dark overgrowth to find what I think was a storeroom. Second time we arrived in the middle of the night and were told that our dogs were not allowed to stay even though it was advertised as pet friendly by Booking.com. We spent hours going around looking for a room and finally found one a town away at 3:00 a..m This time they advertised a hotel in Fox Hills as Culver City even showing pictures of the center of town as if that is where it is located and naming all the places "nearby" . Not even close, its probably a 20 minute drive to Culver City. Further they advertised "parking available" but neglected to mention that it's $26 per night. Also it said the room came with breakfast but when they sent the confirmation it added that breakfast would cost $13.75 per person. What a scam!
I was actually unaware that I was even using them because I had logged onto Kyayk and didn't know that I was transferred to their site. I will be more careful in the future to avoid them and warn others to avoid them too. There are other travel booking sites that actually advertise accurately so you are not overcharged for shabby rooms in far away or dangerous areas when you think you are getting a nice room in a nice area with the amenities they say you're getting. They are a bunch of crooks. Beware.

I got my confirmation of booking via email on the 28.11.2017 15:59 from booking.com:

Buchungsnummer
1309.307.926

When I arrived at the hotel they told me that the hotel is fully booked and that they can't give me a hotel room. They also said that booking.com was giving by mistake to me this confirmation?
It was too late for me to find another hotel as all were booked so I was screwed this night.
I was more than angry about this and I will never again book through booking.com.

Booking.com summit hotel dubai, uae

I booked from 10 to 30 january via booking. In summit hotel .
Confirmation number :[protected]

I had a free cancelation booking before 8 january and i found surprisingly the hotel charged me today 6th of january 249 dirhams? The conditions of the reservation was to pay at property and the credit card was to ensure that i will pay. Plus i was guaranteed a free cancelation.

I canceled the entire booking later on thinking something went wrong, and sent them an email asking for a refund. So they answered that they have the right to withdraw one night! This was never mentioned in the reservation, plus i wasnt asked before they use the credit card!
I find this totally unacceptable
I made another reservation as my visa has the info of the hotel
Kindly advice and i would like to have my money back

Booking.com shangri la, south coast, south africa

The advert for the accomodation was that booking could be made without any payment.However;as soon as the booking was made, the establishment kept bombarding me with e mails for payment. The deposit was paid and subsequently before l could book in on the 29th of December 2017, the balance was paid. I had to also pay for a cleaning service of R 250.00, which according to the website was a daily cleaning fee. When l subsequently asked about cleaning services, l was advised that the cleaning takes place after we book out. No cleaning detergents or implements were neither left for this purpose. I was also advised that a damages deposit of R 1000.00 was to be paid on booking in 29th December. When we arrived at the establishment, reception was not aware of our booking and after much fumbling the owner sent her maid to hand over the keys. I was under the impression that the deposit would be debited to my account, as many establishments do but the maid informed me that cash was needed. I informed her that l would go to the ATM and withdraw cash.l subsequently did withdraw the cash and sent the owner a message at 19.30 that l had been to the ATM amd have the damage deposit and someone could fetch it. However, by 12 H00 the following day no one had arrived for the deposit and we had to leave to a function. Earlier that morning l had opened to burglar guard gate only to find it falling off from the top end and the bottom was practically falling.l called my son who thought it better to leave the gate against the wall as it was very windy and the gate could have fallen over the balcony and caused much more serious damage. I immediately called the owner and informed her of this. She promised to send someone over to assess the gate and l assume that it was done after we had left on 30th December 2017. On the 31st prior to booking out, her maid again came to demand the deposit, which l paid.l was then informed that we are responsible for the repairs of the gate, which l denied as l was travelling with my two sons and niece and they had not ledt the apartment prior to me leaving on the 30th. The owner, Ms Mitasha Kanjee informed me that she would forward a quote and then remit the balance of my deposit after 3 to 4 days. She has to date failed to revert either with a quote or the balance of my deposit. She has since refused to take my calls nor has she answered my e mails. Booking dot com needs to verify credentials of people using their facility as it is clear Ms Kanjee does not operate from an ethical and professional manner. Kindly assist to get the courtesy of a response from her. Ms S.Pillay

Booking.com booking number:[protected]

Dear resolver group,

I booked an apartment in Vienna Heart of Vienna "Opera House" Studio and for my surprise they charged me without my consent for additional 48€

I did all the screenshots while booking the apartment, and nowhere was any such fee mentioned.
I feel scammed!
I already wrote to the apartment owner about asking to refund my booking because their fee wasn't included during the booking procedure

I expect to have my booking cancelled with full refund and Booking app to prevent such scamming from happening again

The additional fee is not included in the important details, only the fee for smoking in the apartment 300€

Thank you
Best regards,

Booking.com unclear website

Dear Sirs,

I proceeded to book a classic double room for 2 guests on the booking.com website yesterday, 3rd January 2018, before confirming the booking I was given a breakdown of the hotel details. I proceeded with the booking once I checked the details, and confirmed that I was happy with the non-refundable cancellation policy and we were to pay at the property.

Upon receiving the confirmation email, I scrolled down to ensure all details were correct. At this point I noticed that the confirmation email stated 'single use'. I have evidence that the confirmation page on the website does not state 'single use'.

I contacted booking.com immediately to advise them. I spoke to a very helpful gentle, Joshua. Joshua contacted the hotel whilst I was on hold, however, the reservation department was closed until this morning. Joshua told me to call back in the morning, so that is what I did. I spoke to a very unhelpful lady called Megan Pay. She advised me that the hotel are prepared to add an extra guest to the room but at an additional cost of €160.00. I am not prepared to pay this as the website is very unclear.

I am also unable to cancel as the cancellation fee is the full amount. I also found on the website that I can book directly with the hotel for cheaper, however, I would have to pay upfront. That is not possible at this time.

I really need a response as soon as possible before I pass this matter on to my Solicitor to deal with.

Please see attached evidence that the confirmation on booking.com did not state 'single use' whilst I was booking.

I look forward to hearing from you as a matter of urgency.

Kind regards,

Mollie Ellerman

Booking.com identity theft

On 26DEC2017 (us eastern) saw a charge from booking.com for a hotel in Europe. I proceeded to call my bank and report fraud and cancel the card. My fiance, who's card number was stolen then called bookings customer care. They said they would see about canceling it and call back. They took her name and number, along with her email to send the original conformation email. That email was in italian. The next day, we called and was told that they never contacted the hotel but would now and would call us back. Today, 28DEC2017 (EST), we called again. This time she was told that the hotel won't cancel and if they do, we owe the cancellation fee, plus a 200 dollar fee to bookings. She got off the phone and I called. I spoke to Hercules, who told me the email, name and phone number are hers now, so it's not fraud any more. He also informed me that they remote accessed my "IP address" and it will match.

So now it's not only identity theft and fraud, but your company is profiting from the fraud. This is unacceptable. I have already filed with the European better business bureau. And to have your company be complicit in frauding anyone is reprehensible.
