[Ctrip booking is seriously inconsistent with the on-site experience! One hotel, three names + a bad experience with poor facilities]
I booked a room at the "Boton Hotel" on the Ctrip platform, but the actual experience was quite confusing:
1️⃣ * Booking and navigation confusion trap *
- Enter "Boton Hotel" in Didi Taxi and no such hotel is found (Figure 1)
- After searching by the Ctrip address "Boton Hotel, No. 22 Zhuxi Avenue", it is displayed as "Boning Hotel" (Figure 2)
- After arriving at the Bonin Hotel, I was directed to the next door. When I looked up, I saw the sign of "Bolton Hotel" (Pictures 3, 4)
- Finally I called the hotel and was told: "This is Yueta X E-sports Hotel"
🔥 *Porcelain-style naming + address nesting doll trap*
- The platform name "Boton" sounds like a high-end chain, but in fact it is only one letter different from the legitimate **Boning Hotel** next door (definitely a name-grabbing scam!)
(Three signs at one address, the platform name is completely separated from the actual logo, the whole process is like playing an escape room!)
2️⃣ *Anti-human space design*
- There is only a narrow gap of 0.8 meters between the bed and the toilet (actual measurement!) (Figure 5.6)
3️⃣ *Ice-cold crit in the cold winter*
- Air conditioning and heating are useless
- Continuous loud tractor-like noise
【Blood and Tears Suggestion】
❌ Those who are sensitive to space please take a detour
❌ Be sure to bring your own heater when staying in winter
❌ It is recommended to confirm the physical signboard through video before booking
❌ Ctrip/Didi information is seriously distorted, please be vigilant
💣 *Double kill of consumer rights*
- The Ctrip page does not indicate the "e-sports hotel" attribute (middle-aged and elderly guests accidentally entered and crashed)
**【Soul Questioning】**
❓ Why deliberately use a name that is highly similar to the big hotel next door?
❓ Why do different platforms deliberately set confusing aliases?
❓ Is it possible to use consumers’ trust in the “Boning” brand to attract customers?
This stay completely refreshed my understanding: it turns out that a hotel can be Boton, Bolton, and Yueta X E-sports Hotel at the same time, but it is not a qualified accommodation place that travelers need!
* It is recommended that the market supervision department intervene to investigate the name compliance!
