This was by far the worst and most disappointing experience I've ever had with Trip.com. The entire floor reeked of paint, and the hotel was undergoing noisy renovations! I had no idea when I booked, thinking I'd splurge a bit for a trip with my child, spending nearly 10,000 RMB for 3 nights! After I paid for the order, a customer service representative called to tell me about the construction. I asked them to cancel it, but they said the hotel booking was confirmed and couldn't be refunded!!! I then asked, 'What's the point of calling me to tell me about the construction then?' She replied that it was just an advisory and shouldn't be a big deal!
I truly regret not canceling then. I ended up staying for 3 unpleasant nights, feeling so foolish and too accommodating! Not only was the hotel noisy and smelled strongly of paint, but the massage was terrible too. The front desk offered me a complimentary 30-minute massage, so I went. I ended up extending it by 60 minutes, paying nearly 5,000 Thai Baht, almost 1,000 RMB. After I paid and the massage began, it was genuinely awful. It was so much worse than the 500 Baht street massages I'd had before! At that moment, I was furious. I couldn't get a refund once it started, so I just gritted my teeth and endured it. I even switched two therapists halfway through, but it made no difference. Afterwards, I just left in a huff!
Sigh! What am I supposed to do? As a loyal Trip.com customer, this trip to Thailand has left me speechless!
