I had a very disappointing experience…
I had a very disappointing experience with this travel agent.
I initially received a quote in November for a hotel that I was happy with and agreed to book. However, just three weeks before departure, the agent contacted me saying the hotel was no longer available unless booked for a full month, which was never mentioned before.
He then offered an alternative hotel, claiming it was only 10 minutes away from the original location. After checking myself, I found this was not true. I made it clear that I did not want to change and wanted the hotel I had agreed to, especially as Ramadan is a very busy time and location was important to me.
Communication then became very poor. I had to chase for updates, and even two weeks before our flight, the hotel was still not confirmed. The agent continued offering hotels that were either lower standard than what we paid for or not within walking distance.
In the end, we had no choice but to accept a hotel far from the Haram, which required taking two buses to get there. We also had to pay additional transport costs ourselves.
On top of this, our hotel in Medina was changed without informing us to a 1-star hotel. The agent claimed it was closer to the Masjid. Although I did not complain at the time because the hotel they had originally booked was already around a 9-minute walking distance, it was still not what we originally agreed or paid for.
Overall, this was a stressful experience with poor communication, misleading information, and failure to deliver what was promised. I would not recommend this service.
