    Just to clarify, why did you/she recieve an emailing confirming the booking had been cancelled if it didn't go through on any of the three attempts to book?
  • when the booking was submitted each time we had confirmation email then a short while later email to say problem with card so asked to check details and re submit so my daughter thought she may have made a mistake entering her card details so re did it still not working so used our card same again and the email stated if we don't hear from you your booking will be cancelled they even confirmed over phone it was cancelled when questioned why they took money they said they were looking into it and would get back to us after a week phoned and was told that apparently my daughter phoned to say wanted room still when she never on day of arrival

    Not wanting to be too critical, but if you use some full stops and paragraphs, your posts will be a lot easier for people to read and the more people who read them, the more likely it is that you will get replies...
