I'm guessing you have never been ?, its a beautiful islandWillieW wrote: ↑Sun Jan 29, 2023 11:24 pm Can't see why anyone would want to go there for a holiday anyway. The place has nothing going for it whatsoever. Dodgy dirty and dangerous are the three words that come to mind when I think of it. I guess the only people who go there are those who don't know what's going on there.

If you book through a site like booking.com they should be protecting your transaction...if you booked directly through the hotel you might be screwed.Soriya wrote: ↑Sun Jan 29, 2023 7:08 pmThis is cambodia, if you get shut down, pocket any money you can, this is my worry as i have a party of 11 booked for april and i dont wanna get stitched up.

Re: Hotels in koh rong samloem given 3 days to shut down
Maybe but I was taken in a similar manner in June by Agoda (which I believe is either an off shoot of booking or owned by the same folks). Booked a hotel in PP for 2 nights. On arrival imagine my surprise (now 11 PM) when I arrive to find it shuttered. When I contacted the company they claimed that because the hotel did not respond to their enquiries there was nothing to be done and I did not qualify for a refund. Yeah, that's because they are fucking closed!!! What a bunch of asswipes, As far as I am concerned that's fraud.

booking.com and agoda are both owned by Priceline>Kayak.com as welljohnny lightning wrote: ↑Tue Jan 31, 2023 5:45 pm Maybe but I was taken in a similar manner in June by Agoda (which I believe is either an off shoot of booking or owned by the same folks).

I worked for Agoda back in 2000-2002 before it was agoda
send them a follow up letter , they will refund or give ya credit.
Many companies will send off a letter denying refunds as standard practice, figuring only a small % will follow up.
FYI:
The difference between Priceline and Booking.com is that Priceline’s ideology is to secure the best prices for customers by finding the cheapest travel options for them. On the other hand, Booking.com aims at making traveling convenient by providing all the travel-related options at one place offering a plethora of options to the consumers.
FFYI:
agoda is better for Asia, booking.com for Europe and elsewhere
