👎 Disliked
  • • Unfortunately, our stay resulted in a financial loss. Somehow, our personal data appears to have been compromised, and we ended up paying for the accommodation twice. We were pressured to make a payment via WhatsApp under the threat that our reservation would be cancelled, and then, a few days later, Booking.com charged us the exact same amount again. We are extremely disappointed and saddened by this experience.
