On
27th
Dec
2021,
I
reserved
one
room
in
GrandKemang
on
New
Year’s
Eve,
using
Agoda.
On
31st
Dec,
My
daughter
(2
y.o)
and
I
arrived
at
5.
p.m
at
the
hotel.
We
came
from
town,
outside
Jakarta.
We
then
went
to
the
reception
to
do
the
check-in.
But
I
was
so
frustrated
to
learn
from
the
receptionist
(William)
that
he
could
not
find
my
reservation.
This
problem
was
so
unbelievable!
I
had
received
the
confirmation
from
Agoda,
and
it
HAS
BEEN
PAID
IN
FULL.
Then
I
asked
him
to
check
again
with
Agoda.
He
said
the
fault
is
in
Agoda,
that
Agoda
has
not
confirmed
the
room
to
them
or
paid
them.
I
don’t
know
if
this
was
the
real
problem
since
it
was
in
their
reservation
system.
However,
as
the
customer,
I
never
expected
this
kind
of
thing
to
happen.
Particularly
since
I
already
paid
in
full,
and
it
was
new
year’s
eve,
it
would
be
hard
to
find
another
hotel.
Not
to
mention,
traffic
in
Jakarta
would
be
so
crowded
on
that
night
for
my
daughter
and
me
to
wander
around
and
find
an
available
hotel.
My
daughter
and
I
stood
in
front
of
the
receptions
for
about
1
hour!
Nobody
offered
us
to
sit
and
find
the
solution.
They
also
let
4
–
5
other
persons
queued
behind
us.
Unbelieve!
They
could
add
another
check-in
counter
or
at
least
ask
them
to
sit
while
they
resolve
my
issue.
I
still
can’t
believe
how
they
treat
the
customer.
Since
I
didn’t
find
any
solutions
offered
by
the
receptions,
I
asked
to
talk
to
the
manager.
Then
the
manager
finally
offered
my
daughter
and
me
to
sit.
He
again
emphasized
that
this
was
Agoda’s
fault
and
had
nothing
to
do
with
them.
I
asked
him
if
he
could
help
me
find
another
hotel,
and
he
said
I
needed
to
wait
for
the
Agoda’s
PIC
to
contact
me.
Is
it
that
difficult,
Grand
Kemang?
Could
you
just
help
a
mom
and
a
daughter
to
find
a
place
to
stay?
If
you
help
me
do
so,
I
will
consider
paying
on
my
account
for
the
new
hotel!
But
you
did
not.
The
manager
also
said
that
the
only
help
he
could
offer
was
to
contact
Agoda
related
to
this
issue.
Then
the
Agoda
team
would
contact
me.
However,
I
did
not
receive
any
phone
or
email
until
around
7.15
p.m.
It
was
also
when
I
finally
decided
to
leave
the
hotel,
as
my
daughter
was
already
tired
of
waiting
for
something
uncertain.
Then
finally,
Agoda
emails
came
at
7.30
p.m.,
offering
the
refund
and
finding
another
accommodation.
But
I
think
it
was
too
late.
I
was
already
tired
of
the
lousy
service
from
both
of
them.
I
will
never
reserve
any
room
from
Agoda
and
Grand
Kemang.
And
for
Grand
Kemang,
if
you
think
Agoda
is
a
bad
travel
agent
(as
per
your
suggestion
in
our
discussion),
why
would
you
still
collaborate
with
them?
You
would
disappoint
your
next
customer.
Or
maybe
the
customer
is
in
that
priority
for
you?
In
the
end,
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
Agoda
and
GrandKemang
for
making
the
worst
new
year’s
eve
for
my
daughter
and
me!
