Split center Apartments

In Jan 2022 I made a booking for two nights from 24 Aug’22 to check-out on 26 Aug’22 @ Eur 235.20. But on 15 Aug 2022 booking.com advised that they were unable to charge my card and that I would have to pay €235.20 that day or my reservation would be cancelled. Having confirmed that all my cards were in perfect working order, I manually used my Visa card then my Mastercard to which booking.com responded instantly to both with “sorry, that didn't work”. With booking.com having rejected both my cards, I turned to Paypal as a third independent method of payment, who confirmed that €235.20 was paid to booking.com. Shockingly, the next day Paypal advised me that booking.com had rejected their payment, in violation of the terms and conditions agreed to in my reservation and booking.com advised that they had cancelled my booking. And Despite all my protestations both Split Centre Apartments and booking.com refused to reinstate my original booking, forcing me to make a new booking at Eur 467.46 roughly double the agreed price.

The location was perfect, next to supermarkets, Bank and 5 minutes walk from the beautiful Split City Old Town and Port. Flat was tiny, but recently renovated and very cute. Everything was spotless. It has its own little kitchen with refrigerator, stovetop, pots and silverware. There was plenty of clean towels. The owner welcomed us with a refrigerator loaded with delicatessen and drinks. The boutique hotel has no elevator, so we asked for ground floor. It was very convenient, but unfortunately there was no balcony, only a little window that opened into the parking and passage to the hotel , so we couldn't open it. There is a tiny parking.

The apt was located in the best location in the Dyclasian Palace. It has 3 bedrooms which served the group of us well. It was super clean with an extra large fully stocked terrace overlooking the ocean. We didn’t cook in the apt but we could have
