DisGuy:Hotels.ng? Bros don't try it, they misrepresent hotels like kilode. Their pictures gallery na direct opposite of what you would find on arrival |

I have bn using jumia hotel almost every time and it's nt a scam, the discount is real, although there is a day i booked an hotel which there is no reservation and they called me bk to inform me nd choose a better one for me. So, when i got there they said they were nt aware of any discount and told me to add more cash for my 2days staying, so we called jumia and they speak with d manager that they are the one paying for the part of the money and nt me, so they gave me my room and d receptionist also apologized to me for wasting my time. 1 Like |

I don't think Jumia themselves are scammers. Seems their business process is the problem particularly the hotels on their books Imagine trying to check in-- Jumia and the hotel managers are only just negotiating fees/commission |

I used it when i wanted to book an hotel in Kano and it went well |
Re: Jumia Travel Hotel Booking Reviews? by Nobody: 12:26pm On Feb 15, 2018 |
hyzich:Well from my experience with them, the pictures used are old pics which were taken when those hotels were in a good shape. They havent updated their database. Yes, they offer cheaper prices but when you visit the hotel, you get to realise that you only visited a shithole . These days I use jumia travels. 1 Like |

Frenchfriez: True! We stopped using them after an experience in Kaduna. As we drove into the hotel the swimming pool with algae was the first thing we saw. The hotel rooms were dilapidated. We turned around and left, shocked that hotels.ng could advertise such a place. When they called I told them so. That's been it. |

I use booking.com on international travels and I have never had any cause for regret. Locally I use hotels.ng n they are quite good. I had a situation early 2015 when I made a reservation for a hotel in ikeja only to get to the address and discover no such facility existed. I called the hotels.ng customer care who in turn called the hotel. The hotel called me asking me to stay where I was that they were coming to pick me, I declined the offer an requested another hotel which was promptly granted. The hotels.ng guys were thoroughly embarrassed by the situation. They sent me an apology mail an a ranking officer even called to apologise and promised they have started kyc to ensure such never happened again. Trivago that I know is an internationally reputable travel brand, so if there are issues concerning their operations in nigeria then maybe we may need to look at the hotels as most of them are run un professionally. To get discounts the owner has to get involved, complaints and suggestions for improvement only get dealt with if the owner says so, they set up an email account and only the owner has access to it so online bookings must be confirmed from him, and if yours is a late arrival, and your booking requires his confirmation, an he is fast asleep-wahala go dey o! Happened to me on a booking (I even paid for it) in abuja, I arrived the hotel around 2am and it took them a while to confirm before the hotel gate was then open for me to enter the premises. I would have easily gone if I hadn't made the upfront payment. 1 Like |

lorhema:Very true. I once booked a hotel in Osun, went there on a tourist visit. On getting there, my first impression was 'perhaps this is the old structure, the newer one portrayed online would be at the back.' My dear, I was shook when I got in. Sadly I got there soo late and decided to manage the place after much sparking for the manager (ofcus he gave me further discount). My dear, that was the worst night of my life . Bed bugs literally killed me. Since this hotel thing has come up, I have to start writing reviews on Jumia and hotelsng. 3 Likes |

tunene66:Thanks. Tahir is a nice place, once checked there bit all the rooms were booked (obviously cos it was a Friday). Next time, would make a booking ahead of time |
Re: Jumia Travel Hotel Booking Reviews? by DisGuy: 1:26pm On Feb 15, 2018 |
Frenchfriez: This is a very good plan, many customers will be warned in advance and manage their expectations also the hotels will be forced to improve or follow up on complains On TripAdvisor, hotel managers can respond to questions/reviews 1 Like 1 Share |

As someone in the hotel business, it is always advised you know about the hotel release time, which normally ranges from 4PM to 6PM. In that case, ensure you make payment prior arrival. These hotels are there for business. Who now pays after they reserved a room for you, and you didn't show up. And they might have turned down lots of guest just because your reservation is holding up on the system |
Re: Jumia Travel Hotel Booking Reviews? by DisGuy: 5:21pm On Feb 15, 2018 |
kingwill2050: As someone in the hotel business, you should know most hotels in Nigeria don't have online payment application on their website-that's if they even have a website. The last thing you want is the receptionist trying to give you some account number bearing no resemblance to the Name of the hotel over the phone to pay into for securing your reservation. I think hotels should get rid of their "pay at reception" model, it's 2018, card/online payment systems shouldn't be rocket science for the web developers. |
Re: Jumia Travel Hotel Booking Reviews? by kingwill2050(m): 7:16pm On Feb 15, 2018 |
DisGuy:And you don't think a hotel without a business/corporate account is a red flag, sort of.... ? When I say "someone in the hotel business", I know what I mean, emphasis on hotel business as a business. It will cost you virtually nothing to open an account for your business. So, I still maintain what I said. So, don't bring that up as a reason why you shouldn't guarantee your reservation. Get the hotel account, do an online transfer, send your payment advice to who ever you are dealing with, and save yourself all the drama, unless, you are doing business with "mushroom" hotels |

DisGuy: Without bias or prejudice, I'm not saying this because I'm a sales consultant for Jumia Nigeria booking hotels and flights, I'm saying it because it's the truth. The hotel will never ask for a fee different from what's on your Jumia reservation except you want to use the hotel directly. The price on your Jumia booking is exactly what u're gonna pay at the hotel. I book hotels a lot for my client and potential clients and I must confess nothing less than 90% of my bookings are confirmed and checked in. If you have any issues regarding booking hotels and flights, pls don't hesitate to call/whatsapp me on 07032292477. I give a discount of 10% on the prices ... Jumia sales consultant |
Re: Jumia Travel Hotel Booking Reviews? by skino4united(m): 7:24pm On Feb 15, 2018 |
hyzich: OK o, I work in an hotel where they use hotels.ng and Jumia and hotels.ng has a very low success rate compared to Jumia when it comes to reservations and check-ins |

Re: Jumia Travel Hotel Booking Reviews? by DisGuy: 9:45pm On Feb 15, 2018 |
kingwill2050: My point being..when i book a hotel online i dont want to do a follow up call to speak to anybody or do a separate online transfer. I want to book pay and receive a reservation number all in action. No point being online then calling to ask for account number when there's payment options -visa.mastercard.paypal that could be done in the same process If you read the reasons things go wrong with online book by previous users- "maybe the person that took the booking is off duty" This is an oga at the top scenario in 2018. When oga is not around everything goes haywire lol |

I had a different experience with my reservations on Jumia Travel. I had a business meeting in Pittsburgh , I booked my hotel while I was at home in Sacramento. On getting to Pittsburgh, I rang the hotel and my reservation was confirmed by the receptionist, by the way payments for the hotel was through Naira MasterCard |
