Confrontational host about apparent booing error

On arrival in Cape Town after a long road trip from Port Elizabeth, we were greeted with a rather unfriendly comment about not being rugby fans as we arrived during the last five minutes of a rugby game. Our booking stated that our reservation was 'bed and breakfast'. During the course of the first morning, after we already had breakfast, the owner came to our room stating that our reservation did not include breakfast upon which we referred her to our booking confirmation. She stated that there must have been an error as she won't be making any money on our 2 night stay as the rate we paid is usually for accommodation only. Going for breakfast on the second morning was very awkward indeed.
