I booked this hotel in early April for a June stay. My friend arrived much earlier than me on the day of check-in. I gave her the Trip.com confirmation letter and my name, but when she tried to check in, the hotel said they couldn't find any reservation. My friend, a young woman, was left stranded. I was on a flight at the time and couldn't receive messages or handle the situation. She was scared and had nowhere to rest or go. My flight was also delayed, landing around midnight. As soon as I saw the messages, I immediately contacted customer service. They contacted the agent, and the agent contacted the hotel. The whole process was drawn out. Of course, I understand that Trip.com isn't the direct booking party and has to wait for the agent's reply. Finally, almost an hour later, they resent the exact same confirmation slip. My friend then tried to check in again and it was successful. Later, upon verification, it turned out the hotel had entered my name incorrectly when putting it into their system. So, I have to ask: if the order was incorrectly entered and essentially not booked, why did I receive a confirmation letter in the first place? Is there an issue with Trip.com's supplier management and process confirmation? I'm currently still waiting for a confirmation and reply from customer service.
