I booked via ***********, but the man at the reception doesn't seem to like this portal and practically accused me of having booked directly on the B&B website. Background: I stated via Booking that I would arrive between 8 and 9 p.m. I was there at around 8:20 p.m. No greeting, but in the first sentence he said accusatory: "You're late. Other guests arrive late too, but at least call. I could have sold your room again." I then said that I had informed them via Booking and that it was not my problem if Booking cannot or does not want to communicate with B&B. I hit a sore spot and he became really aggressive. Just a bullet point summary of his statements - "What is this supposed to be now?" - "You are denouncing me!" - "You are insulting me!" (I didn't insult you once, but OK...) - "I'm putting you on the blacklist." - "I'm withdrawing your right to stay with you immediately." - "I have been working in the hotel industry for 40 years." On top of that, he threatened to call a lawyer. I have never experienced anything like that before. He was really looking for trouble and made it clear that you were just the stupid paying guest. Especially when you arrive and accuse the guest of not reading the terms and conditions properly. Neither booking nor B&B's website stated that I could not have checked in during that time - their own website said that reception was open until 11 p.m. After a long day at work and a 4-hour train ride, I just wanted to check in in peace. Because I felt threatened, I quickly booked another room in Eisenach.
