Bala's 4 days trip to Kochi

Hi Team, As you this wasn't my 1st trip with you guys. Though booking was hassle free was surprised to after service, moreover your App was so pathetic which I had complained also, inspite of install & uninstall multiple times , I had login and due payment issues. No transparency on cost due to w

hich I eventually paid on higher payment instead of what it was promised to be, refund for the same pending. Had mixed opinion on overall journey 1) Driver Nice and very friendly guy and always promot on his duty, full 5star for him. 2) Hotel - Lake View munnar * Property was good with view point and staffs etc. But drawbacks were , It's 3 Star hotel rather 4 star. I had face Hot water issue for all days, Team used to attend complaint but didn't get resolved . Food for one night was so bad and it lacks with other amenities to be called a 4Star. 3) Boat house It was fantastic, nice crew team, Good food & Hospitality. It didn't had hot water facilities As I was carrying my infant , but overall it was a happy stay. 4) Support from Travel agent / Travel triangle representative Totally below par to my expectations, As eveytime I need to do too many follow ups, Still I didn't get my refund amount on excess money paid. House boat stay and Villa Property of hotel.

Jehangir's 7 days trip to Kochi

Our travel agent was good but I had a heart breaking experience as the vehicle at the airport pickup was not what was asked for so I had to arrange one myself with additional waste of time in acquiring it and paying extra for the same. After reaching the hotel I had to let the vehicle go and was wit

hout one till late next morning. Fortunately the agent arranged for the appropriate vehicle and I could save the trip. I have not be reimbursed for the extra expenses even after sharing all payment details. So in a way yes I was extremely dejected till all became well. I still am as I have not been reimbursed The place and sightseeing was wonderful
