Host asked for a payment on their personal account and insulted me afterwards. Can host retaliate because I reported them to booking.com? I’ve booked accommodation on Booking that states no prepayment is needed.

They wanted 30% of the amount transferred now and the rest by a certain date. They said it is to avoid people canceling last minute and…

What place have you visited that completely shattered your expectations? For me, it was Gdansk, Poland. I only went there as a layover for a few days before going to Paris as it was cheaper than flying direct. Ended up loving it. Affordable, great public transport, history, museums, old town, food, day trips. Also had the pleasure of my flight to Paris being overbooked and staying for an extra 2 days. Did mean that I…

NZeta processing time Hi all, I applied for a NZeta yesterday (around 12:00 Sunday morning NZ time), it’s still processing. The last time I applied for a NZeta for tourism purposes a few years ago it was processed within minutes. I already hold a NZeta for my job as a flight attendant, but I need another for tourism.
