点评:I originally planned to book a round-trip ferry to Gili Trawangan through their official website. However, due to concerns about the weather, I contacted their office via WhatsApp. I shared the link to their official website with the staff and asked to proceed with the booking. The staff assisted me and stated that I could simply pay on-site at the port the next morning.
Unfortunately, upon checking my credit card statement a few days later, I found that I was charged significantly more than the official online prices:
Ferry tickets: Charged at 1,300,000 IDR per person (The website clearly stated 1,000,000 IDR per person).
Private transfer: Charged 100,000 IDR higher than the agreed online price.
Other fees: Additional unnotified charges were included in the total sum.
When I contacted them about this discrepancy, the staff claimed that on-site prices are different from online prices and that they have a price list in their office. However, this critical information was never communicated to me during our WhatsApp conversation when I explicitly referenced the online prices. Furthermore, I was never shown any price list before signing the receipt at the early morning check-in.
As a traveler with a flexible 3-week schedule, I would have easily booked online to get the official rate had I been informed of this massive price difference.
I strongly advise future travelers to book directly through their official website rather than messaging them. If you must pay on-site, make sure to double-check the exact numbers on your receipt before signing.
翻译:我原本计划通过他们的官方网站预订前往吉利特拉旺安岛的往返渡轮。然而,由于担心天气,我通过WhatsApp联系了他们的办公室。我向工作人员分享了他们官方网站的链接,并请求协助预订。工作人员协助了我,并告诉我第二天早上可以在港口现场付款。
不幸的是,几天后查看信用卡账单时,我发现实际收费远高于官方在线价格:
渡轮票:每人1,300,000印尼盾(网站上明确标明每人1,000,000印尼盾)。
私人接送:比网上约定的价格高出100,000印尼盾。
其他费用:总金额中包含了一些未事先通知的额外费用。
当我联系他们询问价格差异时,工作人员声称现场价格与网上价格不同,他们的办公室里有价格表。然而,在我明确提及网上价格的WhatsApp聊天中,酒店方面从未向我提及这一关键信息。此外,在清晨办理入住手续并签署收据之前,酒店也从未向我出示过任何价目表。
作为一名行程安排灵活的三周旅客,如果我事先被告知如此巨大的价格差异,我肯定会选择在线预订以享受官方价格。
我强烈建议未来的旅客直接通过酒店官网预订,而不是通过WhatsApp联系他们。如果必须现场付款,请务必在签字前仔细核对收据上的价格。
