Dear Trip.com Customer Support,
I am writing to express my profound dissatisfaction with the recent hotel stay I booked through your platform at the Leonardo Hotel Antwerp the Plaza (Booking No. ***********, PIN ****). I checked into the hotel around 10:10 PM on September 15th, 2024, and what I encountered was nothing short of shocking. I feel compelled to share the details of my experience, as I have never seen such poor conditions in any hotel I’ve stayed at, and I believe this establishment should not be listed on Trip.com.
Upon entering the room, I found the following appalling issues:
Cleanliness: The room was filthy, with a disgusting amount of hair scattered everywhere, including on the bed. The toilet was visibly dirty, with urine stains on the seat.
Hygiene Standards: There were no slippers available in the room, a basic amenity even in low-budget hotels.
Overall Condition: The general state of the room was unacceptable. The cleanliness and hygiene levels were far below any reasonable standard.
I have stayed in a wide range of hotels globally, from budget accommodations to luxury brands like the Four Seasons Istanbul and Ritz Carlton. Even in my worst experiences, I have never encountered such a disgraceful level of cleanliness and hygiene. The money spent on this hotel would have been better donated to charity. I was so horrified by the condition of the room that I genuinely considered sleeping in the rental car instead of staying in the hotel.
Furthermore, since we checked in very late, and I am traveling with my team from my company, there was no time left to modify our reservation or find alternative accommodations. We have an early departure scheduled at 6:30 AM, making the situation even more frustrating.
My experience with Trip.com has always been positive until now, but this situation has severely impacted my trust in your service. I strongly urge you to review the quality of the hotels listed on your platform and take immediate action to remove this property from your listings.
I expect a full refund for this booking, and I sincerely hope that Trip.com will investigate and ensure that such situations are avoided for future customers.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to a prompt response.
