Very Disappointing Experience – Charged Twice and Still Waiting for a Refund
I booked my hotel through Trip.com and paid the full amount in advance using the app. When I arrived at the hotel for check-in, the receptionist told me that no payment had been received and asked me to pay again. At that moment, my internet was not working, so I couldn’t check my booking properly. I trusted what they told me and paid a second time, thinking that Trip.com might not charge me until I checked in.
Later, when I checked my bank account, I realised that I had been charged twice—once by Trip.com and once directly by the hotel.
I immediately went back to the receptionist and explained the situation. They admitted the mistake and told me that my refund would be processed within five days. However, more than 20 days have now passed, and I still have not received my money.
I have also emailed the hotel several times, but they have completely ignored my messages and have not responded.
This experience has been extremely frustrating and disappointing. I hope Trip.com investigates this issue and ensures that hotels handle customers honestly and process refunds promptly. I am sharing my experience so that other travellers are aware and check their payments carefully before paying again at check-in.
