“real price problem.”

1/1 found this review helpful

I booked this hotel through Hotels.com for two nights for a certain price. Once I reached the hotel I was asked to pay 20% more for each night. I refused and told them that I will discus this with hotel.com.
Hotels.com told me that in small letters it is written that they do have the right to add to the price and if I cancel my stay I will need to pay cancellation fee.
For the fairness of this review I will say that the house I stayed in was very nice and clean.
I would suggest anyone that books an house with this people to call them directly and to make sure what is the final price.

Aloha to all,

The guest neglected to say that he arrived with 2 additional guests.

The reservation was received via Hotels.com as being for 2 people, and as the guest showed up with 4 people we charged an additional $20 per person per night for the extra 2 guests. As a courtesy we had even upgraded the guest to a nicer 3 bedroom 2 1/2 bath cottage so they had lots of space.

Hotels.com clearly discloses three times ( not just once) when making a reservation online that the rates quoted are based on double occupancy ( 2 people) and that additional people are charged an additional fee, which is customary for virtually all rentals in Volcano ( B&B and houses). When the guest made the reservation via hotels.com the guest agreed to those standard terms.

If there would have been a regular "error" on our part that we misprinted the wrong rate or the guest was for some reason misquoted a rate from Hotels.com we certainly would have been more than happy to correct the error and honor the quoted rate, but this was not the case here.

When we checked in the guest personally at the cottage, the guest told us that he was not upset with us but wished that he had seen the additional person charge at hotels.com, so we are very dissapointed to find out now that the guest posted this review and is pointing the blame towards us, which is really not fair of him.

Mahalo for reading this... and if you go to Hawaii ... have a GREAT time!

“Kilauea Volcano Cottages is where I should have stayed”

Kilauea Volcano Cottages

Aug 1, 2007

We should have stayed at the Kilauea Volcano Cottages in their beautiful rainforest chalet. They have a first class reputation and understand the needs of families.

We unfortunately stayed at the Kilauea Rainforest Chalet run by the Volcano Lodging Directory part of Volcano Gallery.com. The names are similar but the experienced are miles apart.

While in Volcano Gallery Lodging our son wet the bed and without our authorization we were charged over $1100.00 for a two night's stay that should have cost about $400.00. If you have children or if you do not like to be taken advantage of....go to the Rainforest Chalet run by the great people at Kilauea Volcano Cottages. Mention your friends in Texas who want to save you the $700.00 bedwetting fee.

“Great House near Kilauea”

Kilauea Volcano Cottages

Jun 25, 2007

Volcano Cottage is a very comfortable, two-bedroom/two-bath house about four miles from the entrance to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. I found the property to be in excellent condition and in a very quiet and private location. The rate (a little over $1,000 for seven nights) was excellent, and a variety of breakfast food was left in the house for our use. The house has a fully equipped kitchen, TV, VCR/DVD, and a small stereo. I liked the place so much that I returned for a week in June after renting it for three nights in March! Highly recommended if you're looking for a place to stay near the best hiking on the Big Island.
