"We paid for the accommodation; the reservation stated that four people could stay there, but upon arrival, the receptionist told us that only two people were allowed per room. In the end, we had to pay an extra $85 a day because the reservation couldn't be cancelled. They completely take advantage of the situation; I will never stay there again. Be careful."
