In life...sometimes.we will face many unexpected things. Though we didn't harm others, there will be a moment where we are threatened, verbal abused, humiliated for an unkind people. These really a learnt to learnt.
The reason why I decided to travel to Montecatini was because of the peaceful town itself. On the way to Fonteverde, I chose Rosario' place. As he accepted instant booking, I expected he is a kind of host that can accept last minute traveler like me. I don't choose other host without instant book on that day because my arrival from Pisa probably will delay. I messaged to him after several of my calls didn't answer by him. I don't feel good, continuously calling him and at last he answered, I'm in a meeting will call later..I put my phone roaming so that he can call. But none.
Exactly as what I thought it is true..we was informed that there were delayed en route to via reggio. I wrote to Rosario but he didn't answer. Again.. But in my part I have protect my self by messaging him. Between Pistoia again the train was stopped for almost two hours because of the hit an animal. Typical italian, no loud speaker to inform about the incident u til we have to ask the local people. I sms Rosario but again he doesn't answered. I started to feel annoyed.
Prior Arriving at Montecatini Terme, I write to him if he will wait for us or not..If not how can I reach his place. Then he asked me how many person am I with.. I wrote back..all together is 3. Me, my man n my son. Then he started to write."u wrote only one person on AirBNB" I said maybe I was auto search as one person as I was alone in Marseille when I stayed at AirBNB host there. He replied extra person is €15. And I said ok. But the. I started to think that since he advertised the house can fit into 5 person.. What is wrong with 3 person? Has he count it wrongly? The he wrote again..late arrival after 11pm is €40 but with discussion!
Then I started to get annoyed.. And wrote to him.. Whatever it is please clearly inform me when I arrive. I took the taxi to his place and he wasn't there. I called again and he informed me that the care taker is not around and already sleep and nobody can open the house for me. Whatttt! Why don't u tell me earlier? Why do u accept my money n didn't inform me all about this! Even worst when the taxi driver talked to him, he informed that he is in Milan!!!! And he doesn't informed us until the taxi driver forced him to tell where he is.
I cried..in that hour (00.05am..) in a strange place, none that I know.. We are hungry, we are tired and my son is sleepy, and he couldn't care to say apology or say sorry. All he say is "I AM NOT A HOTEL, U COME LATE" No sense of pitiness to hear when I cried.
If he has a heart, if he is gentleman, if he is kind, if he has a BRAIN, he should confessed when I sms him prior arrival.. Perhaps he should know how to say I am sorry, I'm now in Milan n I cannot host u. He doesn't sms me at or message me at all through AirBNB or phone. ALL HE MENTIONED WAS ..EXTRA PERSON IS €15 LATE ARRIVAL IS €40 !!!! MONEY MONEY MONEY! (Are u mafioso such a like?) No sense of humanity! I complaint to AirBNB. I made a police report because I scared he will see my future journey at my AirBNB which AirBNB doesn't provide privacy. The police at Montecatini stated this is a harassment and commercial crime. I have to say I proud with my decision to made this police report as an evidence.
After few days that Rosario wrote to me and beg (though he wrongly wrote as back) me not to write bad review about him and promise to pay my money back! USE Your head! You think money can buy honesty.. Maybe u can do that in your country or other people.. But not me. It showed that your integrity , honesty, respectful level is low.. So be careful traveler..avoid this host, avoid this address in Montecatini.
After I complaint to AirBNB n messaged to him then only he message and begged me not to tell or write bad review about him.. It's not about bad reviews it's about truth. He said he will pay me back/refund me for not review him.. If he scared of bad review why does he treat me like that.
