1/5 Faith A. 2 years ago on Google
I
stayed
here
on
the
weekend
and
booked
through
booking.com.
I
got
charged
for
the
room
and
$200
bond
which
I
paid
$500
on
check
in.
This
was
fine.
In
the
room,
there
was
no
aircon
and
most
of
the
lights
weren’t
working
which
was
okay
because
we
only
needed
the
room
to
get
ready
and
come
back
to
sleep.
But
when
I
had
checked
out,
I
realised
that
they
had
made
another
transaction
of
$300
out
of
my
account
and
when
I
called
them
to
discuss
why,
they
talked
about
preauthorisations
which
I
am
clearly
aware
of
but
why
the
second
transaction?!!!
I
was
told
that
it
wasn’t
there
fault
and
had
to
call
the
bank
to
sort
it
out
only
to
be
told
by
the
bank,
that
it
was
still
pending
on
their
side
(
2x
transactions
of
$800).
I
called
the
hotel
back
and
they
said
more
excuses,
that
I
checked
in
late
(6:45pm)
so
the
first
preauthorisation
didn’t
go
through
and
that
they
had
to
charge
me
again.
And
the
second
excuse
was
that
they
were
going
to
release
$198
back
because
$500
(what
I
first
paid)
minus
$304
(cost
of
the
room).
But
what
about
the
other
$300
that
got
taken
out
of
my
account??!!!!
The
more
I
had
to
call
back
about
questions
and
answers
about
this,
the
more
rude
and
inconsiderate
they
got!
And
reading
these
reviews
about
being
charged
$500??!!!
Why
the
different
amounts
for
bonds/pre
authorisations?!!!
Abit
pricey
I
must
say!!!
My
cousin
had
also
booked
two
rooms
under
her
name
on
the
same
night,
and
at
check
in
was
only
given
2
keys
(she
wasn’t
aware
at
the
time
that
they
were
supposed
to
get
2
room
keys
per
room)
and
only
to
find
out
when
checking
out
that
she
wouldn’t
be
getting
her
bond
back
($200
x
2)
because
they
only
gave
back
2
keys.
We’re
going
through
hard
times
with
COVID,
and
the
one
time
where
all
we
wanted
to
do
was
have
a
good
night
out
with
our
families
but
it
was
ruined
because
we
got
ripped
offf!!!!
Never
again
and
WILL
DEFINITELY
NOT
RECOMMEND!!!!
