Hi Shahin,

thank you for taking the time to share your feedback! 😊 We appreciate your detailed comments about your stay.

We would like to point out that your review mainly concerns the hotel itself (such as the room, furniture, and parking). We kindly encourage you to share this feedback directly with the hotel, as they are best positioned to address and improve these aspects.

If you would like to share your experience with the booking process via HotelSpecials, we would love to hear your thoughts!

Kind regards,

Dear ....

Dear ....

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to express my deep concern regarding a distressing experience my family and I had during our recent stay at your hotel. On the 15th I was stuck in one of your elevators,. The situation was incredibly frightening, and it took nearly an hour for the staff to safely extricate me from the elevator.

As you can imagine, this caused significant anxiety, particularly for my children, who were understandably scared. Additionally, I have asthma, and being trapped in such a confined space for an extended period caused me considerable distress. Thankfully, I am fine now, but this experience has left me shaken.

I would like to understand how this incident occurred, as well as what steps your hotel is taking to ensure the safety and well-being of future guests. I am hoping that you will be able to offer an explanation and any form of compensation for the distress caused to my family and me.

Thank you for taking the time to address my concerns. I look forward to your prompt response.

Hello Z Marechal,

Thank you for your review. However, this is not about your experience with us; HotelSpecials (except for the part that you booked the hotel through our website). Therefore I would like to ask you to change your review, shift it to the hotel or take it down.

As for your experience in/with the hotel, I am sorry that you got stuck. I understand your feelings but I cannot speak for the hotel. Only the hotel can react on your complaint. I will send you a mail explaining this further.

Thank you.

Don’t be happy with vouchers as they expire and become worthless

If you have a voucher please spend it immediately. When it expires you will lose all its value. Hotelspecials will say they are sorry, but your money will be gone….

Edit: I am adding this reply to comment on the reply from HotelSpecials. This is exactly as I explained. Imagine someone presenting you a gift for your wedding, anniversary, your child’s birth, etc. and tells you: “Please note that this gift is only valid for one year. After that it is worth nothing”, how happy would you be? I know people don’t like to give money, but they shouldn’t. Money retains its value. You can argue about inflation, but this is also the case for a voucher. My advice:”Don’t buy vouchers. They have no added value.”

Hoi Bart,
Bedankt voor je review en vervelend te horen dat je niet tevreden bent.

Wij zien dat je contact hebt gehad met onze servicedesk. Zij hebben gekeken wanneer jouw HotelCadeau is aangeschaft (maart 2013). Cadeaukaarten dienden tenminste een geldigheid te hebben van één jaar (dit is nu twee jaar). Jouw kaart was echter niet één, niet twee maar zelfs drie jaar geldig. Deze is dus helaas in 2016 verlopen. Het klopt dan ook dat je nu, bijna 7 jaar na verlopen, de kaart helaas niet meer kan inzetten op een verblijf. Onze excuses dat dit niet het antwoord is waarop je hoopte en ons daarom voorziet van 1 ster. Mocht je hierover toch nog verder in gesprek wensen te gaan, dan kun je natuurlijk reageren op de mail.
Groet, Tessa team HotelSpecials

Do not book here!!!

Horrible experience. I booked a room via them at Bilderberg Scheveningen. It was a business trip and need an invoice for my declaration. They refuse to give that. They point to Bilderberg hotel but Bilderberg tells me I booked and payed at them and that they should give me the invioce. Hours of calling and writing emails later they still refuse to help and tell me to solve it with Bilderberg. PLEASE BE CAREFUL AND DO NOT BOOK HERE. COST A LOT OF MONEY AND EFFORT AND FRUSTRATION.

Hoi Paul,
Bedankt voor je beoordeling.

Wij begrijpen je gevoel. Maar waar je ook je ongenoegen uit, het antwoord blijft hetzelfde. Zoals aan je uitgelegd, dragen wij geen btw af en kunnen je dan ook niet van een btw-factuur voorzien. Dit is wettelijk namelijk niet toegestaan! We kunnen je dan ook, tot onze spijt, daarin niet verder helpen. Nogmaals onze excuses wanneer de voorwaarden van je boeking niet duidelijk zijn geweest waardoor je nu ontevreden bent over onze organisatie. Wij danken je voor je feedback en wensen je een mooie dag.
Groet, Tessa team HotelSpecials

These people are crooks

Don't waste your time or money here at all. Been contacting them back and forth (as well as the hotel I'd booked a room at) for more than 2 weeks regarding the refund/cancellation of my booking. They take forever to reply via email and have no phone number that you can use to contact them. At this point this isn't even about the money (which I doubt I'll see again) but more-so a matter of principle. HotelSpecials.nl tells me to contact the hotel and the hotel says they've heard nothing from HotelSpecials.nl and neither side is willing to go forward with the refund. I'll be contacting my bank and reporting the charge as fraudulent.

Edit: as a response to the comment made below by HotelSpecials.nl - on the day of my reservation I contacted the hotel that assured me that I had until 18:00 to cancel without incurring any charges. After attempting to do so the hotel then informed me that to confirm my cancellation I would have to contact HotelSpecials.nl who then in turn informed me that I had not cancelled in time when, based on the information provided by the hotel, I had 100% done.

Both the hotel and HotelSpecials.nl then lead me on a merry-go-round, pointing fingers at each other stating that they are not the ones responsible for handling this situation and in the end, I have still not received my money.

For anybody interested, the hotel was Tulip Inn Eindhoven Airport and their staff was also horrendously unprofessional.

Dear Kareem Al-Saudi,
We are sorry to hear that you are not happy with our organisation. As explained by our complaint-department, you did not cancell the booking the way you should have cancelled it. Sending an e-mail, isnt enough. As soon as you cancell the booking through the link, the hotel gets a notification (and so do you). If you don't cancell or dont cancell in time, it is correct that the hotel does not get any communication. After all: you have not done the action to do so. We see that you replied to our latest e-mail so you will receive another answer as soon as possible.
Wishing you a nice day.
kind regards,
Tessa, team HotelSpecials

Do not use them

Bad service. Also do not use their cheque. Its validity is short and no extention due to Corona possible.

Beste Marjolein,
Bedankt voor je beoordeling. Helaas kunnen we op je naam of e-mailadres geen communicatie terugvinden. Indien je dus nog geen contact hebt gehad met onze servicedesk, willen we je vragen om ons te mailen waarom je ontevreden bent en tevens de gegevens van je 'cheque' mee te sturen (je bedoelt waarschijnlijk een voucher)? Wij bekijken dan graag wat wij voor je kunnen betekenen.
Met vriendelijke groet,

Lack of ethics in their refund policy. I would advise against using them

I had made a cancellation with this company.

I understood that I would lose a few Euros due to the loss of a service fee but was ensured my refund within 5 days.

After the promised deadline, I had not received my refund and queried it. I was told to wait for a few more days and that I would get my refund. 4 WEEKS down the line I am informed that I will not receive my refund due to their "Corona Virus Policy". My refund should have been issued way before they put this policy into effect.

They backdated this policy to bundle my cancellation (which was done well before they had any corona virus issues). I have no reason to be at the Hotel anymore as it was for a special occasion and do not intend on going back (that is why I requested my refund).

They refuse to give me a refund and want me to make a booking for which I do not have any need to do within their voucher validity date.

The cancellation was made in March and they only updated their web-page informing customers about the Corona Policy on the 2nd April 2020.

As mentioned, I was issued with a cancellation confirmation which detailed that I would be paid in 5 days.

For them to back date it to any reservations made from 1 March when they have only made customers aware of their cancellation policy on the 2nd of April is highly unethical.

This is their attempt to grab as much money as possible with no regard to their customers and cannot recommend them.

I have never dealt with such an immoral company.

As mentioned, your resolution has no benefit to me as I do not wish to use your service again due to what you have done.

I also also post your INITIAL response before you decided try unethically grab my money.

As stated, if this was on the website at any time prior, I would understand or would look for another service provider but you only updated terms on the 2nd of April 2020, my cancellation being made 2 weeks before that AND YOU ASSURED ME OF MY REFUND IN 5 DAYS

Dear Nana Kwaku Owusu- Sekyere,
We could not reply to you before because you did not provide us with your reservation-number. Now that you've send this to us (thank you) we can give you a proper response:

It is correct that we no longer can give refunds (and haven't been able to ever since the pandemic started, so this isn't since April as you stated in your review). This because the extensive impact corona has on our company. We have no other choice. But you don't lose your money. Instead, we will provide you with a voucher for the same amount. This voucher is valid for a year so you have plenty of time to book another stay in a hotel of your choice on a date of your choice. If you need help with this, our servicedesk is here to advice you.

Thank you for your understanding.
Kind regards,
HotelSpecials
