Good afternoon,
On Thursday, Oct 1st we arrived on an Indigo flight from Bangalore at about 9:30pm Airport, Airline, and taxi from airport was hassle free and pleasant. Check in at the Sea Face was quick and efficient too.
We went out for a late dinner on Hawa beach and came back at 10:30 to tuck our two children into their A/C'd room and to have a cool night in a second room with my husband. Then we couldn't find the A/C remote in one room and then we couldn't get the other room's turned on. I went to the front desk at about 10:45 with our Yatra booking printout stating room type as standard A/C non seafacing. We are not sea facing- that is fine. We did and still do need A/C.
I called Yatra and waited on hold for 60 minutes before Bedram answered and listened to my storey and put me on hold again waiting for his consent team to respond. Eventually someone else from Yatra called reception from Yatra and asked for the A/c room, but our hotel said that none were left. This likely a lie, as during my hour long wait, the reception tried to ask us multiple times for more money for A/C. The receptionist gave Yatra the number of a nearby hotel to call. At about the same time Bedram said that he promised to call in 15 minutes with an new hotel or a solution to our problem. I had already asked him when his shift ended and he said 12:30. It was 12:15 and after careful and exact questioning by
Me, he confirmed verbally that he
Would not go off shift until this
Was solved. So I accepted the wait of 15 with the
Promise of a callback. Bedram had given his extension so I tried to call it. It didn't work.
I waited until 1:24 and
Got not call. My children and husband had fallen asleep so I tried to sleep too with my phone in my hand.
I awoke again at 6:24 and called Yatra again. The line told me that Yatra was closed from 12:30-6:30. So I waited until 6:30 and then Ritesh Took my whole story again. This time refusing to acknowledge whether it was a Yatra issue or a hotel issue, but promised that he would call back at 8:15, as the consent team didn't begin work until 8, so he would need them to help make the decision. Rajesh promised that all would be solved and that he was working until 3:30.
At 9:15, I called his extension number and no one answered. I called Yatra again. This time speaking to Rohit, who recorded my whole story and then tried to say that we had booked a non-ac room. I went through all of it clearly one more time, waiting on hold two times and then on the third time and after being on the call for 30+ minutes. At this point the line was cut, maybe Yatra, maybe
Rain in Kerala, I am not sure.
It is now 3:15. All 3 Yatra reps have promised to call me and to help me. No one has. I am on a holiday with my family. This is our fifth time to Kovalum. I have already reviewed Yatra and the Sea face on Trip advisor. I have opened an account on mouth shut.com. I have tweeted about this problem.
I have a contract with Yatra. You provide the service and I have already paid for it. I will not drop this and except a refund for this miserable experience. I will publicly review and post on many forums to get a response. I will not just accept this unprofessionalism.
Please respond. Please help keep the contract that Yatra has agreed
To with me. I have spent 5 of the last 14 hours trying to sort this out with Yatra. I have slept for 5 hours. I took my kids to the beach and pool for 4 hours. This is not acceptable use of time on my family vacation.
