Okay, so this is the only negative thing I am going to write about Cesky Krumlov...
So we booked four nights on a very reputable Czech-based website. I won't name it, but we have used the company for years, as well as various times on this particular trip. Anyway, we were booked into a pension in the center of town. It was paid for.
When we arrived at the pension, via taxi, there wasn't anyone there. We knocked and knocked and the taxi driver knocked as well. Finally, someone came from next door. This woman also owned a pension next door to the one we were booked at. She talked to the taxi driver and he relayed the message to us: the owners of the pension we were booked at were gone and would not be returning for several months. We didn't know what to do. She offered us a room in HER pension. Having nowhere else to go, we took the room.
Our room was beautiful and everything we could have asked for. The family also owns an antique store in town and the son spoke English. We had some nice chats with him. After nearly a week of staying there, we NEVER saw anyone go in or come out of the pension that we were originally booked in. I wrote the company and told them that we would like our money refunded.
They refused.
Their reply? That someone had been there the entire time, waiting for us, and that we had never showed up. Furthermore, they said that we had been scammed and that it happens all the time.
So who was telling the truth? I do not know. We eventually got one night refunded so that was something at least.
We still don't know exactly what happened, but we were very happy with our room in the end.
