Terrible booking experience with Hotels.com

The hotel was not paid even though I paid on Hotels.com. Dinesh at the hotel confirmed that you paid the incorrect hotel and charged my clients card. WE need to get a full refund for this booking. I am dealing with Salma at your reservations team in Cape Town

j, Gaborone Botswana

OK but not wow!

Reception wanted payment although it had been paid through Expedia - that issue was resolved very promptly by the manager. The amount they wanted was less than paid to Expedia. The 'garden view' was really a carpark view. The room was comfortable but several lights were not working and it was not as clean as it should be - cobwebs in the bathroom. The restaurant was adequate.

Comfortable stay in a quiet area.

Other than encountering a little booking problem with the new reception staff, the stay was fine. The Indian curry dishes, nan and rice in the restaurant were great!

Overnight stay

Everything was available in the room, aircon, fridge and television. However, the finer details needing sorting out. One of the main lights did not work, there was no room to put items beside the bed on one side and the tap on the sink was very very loose! Bed very comfy. No where to put anything in the shower room either other than the floor.
