“ABSOLUTELY AWFUL AVOID!!!!”

★☆☆☆☆

written by PatrickDow on 08/07/2013

Please read the email chain from the bottom.

Last week I booked accommodation via this crowd for £257 and then the confirmation advised me it was £332!!

I brought this to the attention of their customer service department who refused to do anything about it, nor cancel the booking minus any cancellation fee's (unless I rebooked another property with them!!)

And now today the property is again being advertised at the lower price I had initially agreed to!!! Absolute con!!


****************************************************************************************

AVOID THIS COMPANY!!!!





HostelBookers,

I will NOT be making another booking with Hostelbookers full stop.

You will only refund me if I make another booking with a company who has offered me a product at £xx and charged me a totally different price??? I am in shock !!!

I will be passing the below onto trading standards immediately.

Regardless of your I.T excuse which is completely irrelevant to the fact as a customer I have agreed and paid for one price and conveniently your rates have changed by the time it takes my payment to process and the confirmation page to appear, informing me of the 29% increase in price which I have NOT agreed to pay.

Hello Patrick,

Thank you for your email.

As we spoke on the phone unfortunately they cannot take this booking at 257.40£ so in order to this matter we will refund this booking only if you make another booking through hostelbookers.com.

Waiting for your response.
