Alagao resort, South Goa.It would be good if you can disclose the name of the hotel so that we can avoid it in future
Can you give me some keyword to search, if you remember ?This is very common in Christmas & New year time. In TF itself there was a thread I remember last year.
Nothing is mentioned in my T&C and thats why I am tagging it as "illegal and Extortion".This is not new and neither illegal. Check your hotels terms and conditions. This gala thing will be mentioned.
This is the reason I never travel in last 2 weeks of Dec and 1st week of Jan as most hotels will rip u with these gala nonsense
I tried for mentioned hotel on hotel website booking itself. They have not mentioned even there.Hmm you know what I see the message about new years and Christmas fee extra on mmt sometimes
Is it mentioned somewhere in your confirmation email?
Wondering if the problem is that smartbuy UI isn't displaying these notices and maybe use this to force them for better pricing or refund?
Yes, heading for it.Maybe you need to file a case at consumer court. Save all the T&Cs. They may modify or take it down from their site
This seems like consumer case issue. Use e-daakhil.Yes, heading for it.
Just a question, since I have done the transaction through Smartbuy, does RBI ombudsman needs to be approached first or directly consumer court?
Since the failure of service was from a hotel, I doubt if the RBIO has any role hereYes, heading for it.

If this is not mentioned in t&c then yes it's a case for consumer court.Nothing is mentioned in my T&C and thats why I am tagging it as "illegal and Extortion".
If they have written it, its obvious that anyone who agreed to it has to pay !
Goa had bad PR just sometime back. That may be reason for poor occupancy this year. Hope its gets better.I stayed in Calangute Goa for 5 nights during 22 Dec - 26 Dec in different 3 hotels. The price of hotels were high during these days, but we made instant booking on day to day basis, the hotel where other guests were staying Rs. 4,200 per night, we just booked the same hotel for just Rs. 1369 at 12:00 noon. It was amazing experience in terms of hotel stay, as it was lot cheaper in comparison to even rainy season! What i experienced, if we make the booking on the same day (not in advance) specially during this Goa season days, hotel stay is way cheaper. As many property manager (specially 4star and 3star) create hype in anticipation of lode of tourists, but the actuality is different. This time there were lesser tourists comparing to previous season. Whereever I staid, they weren't offering any gala dinner, though many hotels were offering on booking basis. We enjoyed @ Dynamo (a newly started cafe near to Vaghator beach). I also had a party in Olive (@ Vaghatore beach), it was also nice.
So, I had a lengthy discussion with the hotel owner and after it, he decided not to charge me, mostly because its not mentioned in my voucher, he saw that I am with kids, also, I told that I am not even attending the event.@superstar@123 How did this go?
