Extremely
Disappointing
Experience
at
Kip
Hotel
I
am
compelled
to
share
my
incredibly
frustrating
experience
with
Kip
Hotel,
both
on
Google
and
Agoda,
to
ensure
future
guests
are
aware
of
the
issues
I
encountered
during
my
stay.
I
made
a
booking
on
November
27th
via
Agoda
for
2
queen
rooms,
checking
in
on
the
2nd
and
checking
out
on
the
4th,
with
a
secondary
check-in
on
the
3rd
and
check-out
on
the
4th.
Despite
receiving
a
confirmation
after
payment,
upon
my
check-in
on
the
2nd,
I
was
shocked
to
learn
that
the
second
room
was
canceled
by
Agoda.
Surprisingly,
I
received
no
cancellation
updates
or
emails
from
Agoda,
and
the
hotel
insisted
it
was
Agoda's
doing.
Numerous
calls
to
the
hotel
were
made
to
rectify
the
situation,
with
promises
of
checks
and
updates.
On
the
2nd
night,
the
hotel
claimed
the
room
was
available
for
check-in
on
the
3rd,
booked
under
a
different
group
listing,
and
suggested
a
walk-in
without
payment
as
still
covered
under
the
payment
made
previously
via
agoda.
However,
on
the
3rd,
as
I
walked
in
to
check
one,
one
the
female
staff,
who
had
no
proper
communication
skill
casually
and
rudely
told
me
that
my
room
was
cancelled
with
no
apology,
claiming
the
manager
and
supervisor
canceled
my
room
in
the
morning
shift,
and
demanding
a
walk-in
rate
payment
if
I
need
to
check
in.
When
questioned,
the
staff
blamed
Agoda
for
the
cancellation,
despite
no
email
updates
from
Agoda
again
.
Upon
further
investigation,
a
senior
male
receptionists
of
the
hotel
revealed
a
third-party
cancellation
through
an
email
sent
on
the
27th,
acknowledging
the
cancelation
only
on
the
3rd
at
4:32
pm
.
This
lack
of
proactive
communication
regarding
a
close-off
with
a
third
party,
specifically
Webbeds,
is
unacceptable.
The
hotel's
casual
approach
to
informing
guests
about
changes
is
unfair,
leaving
guests
unaware
of
potential
refunds.
I
was
even
put
on
call
to
speak
wit
a
receptionist
officer
ms
norlela
claiming
that
it's
third
party
fault
and
it
was
pre-informed
earlier.
If
yes
so,
why
did
the
management
promised
a
room
the
night
before
claiming
the
booking
is
still
valid
without
payment?
The
hotel's
failure
to
manage
the
situation
and
communicate
effectively
with
guests
is
unacceptable.
It
not
only
caused
significant
inconvenience
but
also
wasted
my
time
almost
2
hours
.
When
I
contacted
Agoda
on
the
4th
morning,
even
they
were
surprised
by
the
hotel's
actions,
questioning
the
integrity
of
such
practices.
When
question
the
hotel
receptionist
that
morning
they
started
playing
a
blame
game
which
is
unacceptable.
This
experience
at
Kip
Hotel
is
a
disgrace
to
Agoda,
and
I
strongly
advise
potential
guests
to
reconsider
booking
at
this
establishment.
The
management
must
take
immediate
action
to
prevent
such
incidents
in
the
future
and
prioritize
transparent
communication
with
guests.
