We have used booking.com for 4 weeks. We have had 3 terrible experiences with venues which were rated as great (8-8.5/10). The most reent one we rented was an apartment in central Brussels. It was central but the problems started when we checked in. No linen for one of the beds, no linen for washing up or hand towels, o sheets for ne of the beds, the shower drain blocked up and you had to turn the shower off several times during a shower. There was no toilet paper and the host agent could not speak English. We haven't receive a reply from booking.com 12 hours after a complaint was lodged. Previous apartments had mould in the fridges, n the floor and the bathroom didn't work properly either. None of the apartments have what was advertised as being included: e.g. Dishwasher. Terrible service from booking.com, absolutely terrible.
Hi Kelly. Certainly. However my issue is really with booking.com in terms of poor customer service and very much in the way in which complaints are handled. Even more so is the fact that the venues themselves don't seem to be checked for accuracy. We have used booking.com for almost a month now and have spent several thousand euro's. We have had 3 terrible experiences and have had to resolve each one ourselves due to the slow response by your company. The first problem we had was booking number ******* where dirty linen was left in our 'luxury' apartment, used chewing gum was left on the sink, the apartment had not been cleaned and the fridge was covered in mould. We were then upgraded by the hotel to an even worse room-their best room. We then arranged to check out and go to a different place. It took booking.com almost 24 hours to resolve the issue. The second incident was booking number ******* when we booked accommodation in padova. We received a booking confirmation from booking.com and then travelled to a cologne. When we got to the apartment, the host had apparently double booked or had or updated his calendar and as a result, we were left on the street with our luggage and had to find new accommodation. Then we received an email saying that booking.com had had to "re-accommodate" us and how did we find the service. The most recent booking number is *******. We have paid 495 for 3 nights accommodation. We could have stayed in a number of 5 star hotels in the centre of Brussels for less money and had better service.
Hi Gavin, I'm sorry to hear this. If you sent you complaint by e-mail an answer wouldn't be immediate. I'd like to address your complaint with the property. Could you post your booking number for me? Regards, Kelly
