点评:I arrived in Remedios on 23 December for the famous Las Parrandas and was immediately told that the hostel was overbooked due to an error of the international booking platform. The owner told me she had already organized another accomodation for me and organized a bicitaxi for me to get there. As Remedios was fully booked (I checked on the booking platform's app), I had no other choice than to accept staying at the other accomodation.
Unfortunately the other accomodation was not a hostel, but the former child's room in a private flat in a prefabricated building twice as far from the town center. It was clean, there were bedsheets and towels, but that's about it. I had to share the bathroom with the landlady, and there was no WiFi. No big problem for an experienced traveller like me, but certainly not the standard I had booked and paid for.
Regarding payment I was told by Hostal Paraiso Colonial that I needed to claim the refund via the international booking platform as they were unable to reimburse me in cash. For the other accomodation I had to pay USD 80 for two nights to the landlady (no receipt was given, as this was not an official place to stay for foreigners).
Unfortunately, now Hostal Paraiso Colonial claims I did not have to pay any extra money for the other accomodation, and the booking platform refuses to reimburse me.
So, hands off this place...
翻译:我于12月23日抵达雷梅迪奥斯,前往著名的Las Parrandas,但立即被告知由于国际预订平台的错误,该旅馆已超额预订。老板告诉我,她已经为我安排了另一间住宿,并安排了一辆比西出租车送我去那里。由于Remedios已经订满了(我在预订平台的应用程序上查看过),我别无选择,只能接受入住另一家住宿。
不幸的是,另一处住宿不是旅馆,而是距离市中心两倍远的预制建筑内私人公寓中的前儿童房。很干净,有床单和毛巾,但仅此而已。我不得不和女房东共用浴室,而且没有无线网络。对于像我这样经验丰富的旅行者来说,这没什么大问题,但肯定不是我预订和支付的标准。
关于付款,Hostal Paraiso Colonial 告诉我,我需要通过国际预订平台申请退款,因为他们无法以现金偿还我。对于其他住宿,我必须向女房东支付两晚 80 美元(没有提供收据,因为这不是外国人的正式住宿地点)。
不幸的是,现在Hostal Paraiso Colonial声称我不需要为其他住宿支付任何额外费用,并且预订平台拒绝向我报销。
所以,放开这个地方……
