Some were acknowledged in writing by the hotel, while others were assessed differently or were not confirmed. We also submitted the case to Booking.com, which processed it through its standard procedures and issued a goodwill credit to our Booking Wallet.

Our assessment relates solely to the documented conditions and the way the reported issues were handled. This video is intended to help viewers make their own informed decision before booking.
