Interhome unfair practices in cooperation with Casamundo
When making a reservation for three families with children (6 adults, 6 children) through Casamundo.pl, we entered the ages of the participants, specifying the exact ages of the children, which were verified by the property owner upon arrival at the holiday destination on the basis of identity documents, and there were no objections. Two days before the end of our stay, it turned out that Casamundo.pl had transferred our booking to Interhome (Interhome HHD AG) from the outset, where Interhome expected us to pay an additional fee of nearly €1,000 for what they considered to be the incorrect age of the children. The age of the children was provided when booking on Casamundo.pl and verified by the property owner upon arrival. The entire stay was paid for in advance and there were not supposed to be any additional charges. However, Interhome expected us to pay an additional fee of nearly €1,000 two days before the end of the holiday because their system showed 6 adults and 6 infants, and only now did they realise this. According to Interhome itself, the Casamundo.pl portal does not distinguish between the age of a child/ infant, so despite the inefficiency of the system and the fault of Casamundo.pl and Interhome, we were charged an unjustified fee, which none of the sellers are willing to compensate us for. In addition, the way in which this payment was FORCED on us was unacceptable: firstly, the additional payment was to be made in cash to the property owner, and secondly, the owner gave us an ultimatum: either we pay within an hour or we leave without a refund of the deposit, otherwise 40 police cars would arrive... Of course, we quickly withdrew money from an ATM and paid, mainly to spare the children stress and unpleasant memories of their holiday. We consider such behaviour on the part of Casamundo.pl and Interhome to be unacceptable and in violation of consumer rights throughout Europe, which is why I am warning you about the bad practices of these two websites that have affected me and my friends. As I continue to fight the refusals from Casamundo.pl and Interhome, I urge you to be cautious.
