No transparency

I made different bookings through Safarinow at the same establishment in Mozambique and unfortunately due to Covid constraints had to cancel. The first booking a 25% handling fee was charged on the deposit paid and on the second 25% was charged on the total amount charged. How is it possible that 2 different service fees are being charged for the exact same thing?

Good day,

The establishment extended a gesture of goodwill and waived the cancellation fee, only charging a handling fee in March 2020. They then charged a portion of the cancellation fee in October 2020 as per the cancellation terms sent to you with the booking confirmation.

Somehow I find that hard to believe. In the first place nowhere was a “gesture of goodwill” mentioned from GoBundu’s side. In fact, I have received nothing but good service from Carlin. The fact of the matter is both bookings and cancellations was made with Safari.now and yet the 2 cancellations was handled differently. Please provide me with an outcome in order to take this up with the Ombudsman.
