It was all great at the beginning when…
It was all great at the beginning when I contacted them to book a customized umrah package for me and my family. Mr Affan was great communicating with my needs. He created the package the way I wanted.that included our flights and hotels in Madinah and Mecca. He told us both hotels will be 5 star hotels. For Medinah it will be Pullman ZamZam and for Mecca it will be Hilton Convention and assured us they both are very close from Mashid Nawabi and Haram.Based on my own research everything found well and I agreed with package and paid him the money whatever he asked for. There wasn’t even any negotiation for the price. They got the money and he confirmed my flights and sent me flight information but didn’t send me the hotel information for booking or anything like that. Before we left for trip everytime I asked for hotel he said don’t brother your hotels are confirmed as I agreed. I trusted him blindly and gave him the full amount. The trip was for 9 people. You can imagine how much I paid them without negotiating vexatious was happy with the package. Didn’t worry about the money. So we left and we were in Dubai, the day we were getting ready for our flight a travel agency from Saudi Arabia ( who would be providing us ground transportation that includes transport from airport to hotels, Ziyarat er etc) on that document I saw the hotels in both Madinah and Mecca are changed and totally different hotel. I was extremely surprised and disappointed about this. As Crowntravels didn’t even bother to communicate with me about anything for hotel change. For Madinah they changed it from PULLMAN ZAMZAM A 5 STAR HOTEL TO OUTHMAN HITEL IS NOT EVEN A 3 STAR HOTEL. AND GMGOR MECCA THEY CHANGED FROM HILTON CONVENTION 5 star hotel to double tree by Hilton a 4 star hotel. After I kept trying to contact with him and finally he responded just an hour before my flight from Dubai to Madinah that they had to change the hotel unfortunately. I literally couldn’t believe that. And couldn’t tell him anything as I was rushing for our flight. After reaching Madinah at hotel. I was so disappointed about that hotel. Bathroom was dirty, small room, not comfortable. It was so embarrassing infront of my family( my parents and siblings who flew from my country and joined us in DubaiAs I wanted to provide them comfort in good hotel. And walking distance to Masjid Nawabi was very long and very tiring for my old parents. Outhman hotel was just like getting a slap on my face. Very very disappointed. For Mecca it wasn’t too bad as double tree is a good hotel. But more walk to Haram. Anyways after I reached back home in NY he contacted me and asked me how was everything I expressed my concerns. He seemed very careless about it. Also he said if I want he will have his manager to call me. It’s over 2 weeks now they aren’t even bothering to call me. Brothers please don’t do business like that and please don’t make money like that. If you would have asked me for couple extra thousands dollars I would’ve given it to you. But if you promise or agreed to provide service/properties to your clients.m, for you it would be mandatory to fulfill your promise. Please I request you to not to do it with anyone else.
