I’m a Celeb star left stranded after ‘DoubleBooking.com’ mix-up
TV star Emily Atack has renamed Booking.com ‘Doublebooking.com’ after finding herself ‘stranded’ because someone else was in the villa she’d reserved.
The Inbetweeners and I’m a Celebrity Get me Out of Here star shared her situation on Twitter and Instagram after turning up in Mykonos to find the villa had been double booked.
She tweeted: "Girls & I have arrived at our villa in Mykonos that we booked via booking.com, turns out they double booked the villa & now we’re stranded at side of the road with mountains of food shopping & cases."
She added: "Booking.com are providing no solution. Can anyone help?… They literally dropped responsibility and basically said there’s nothing they can do! We’re sat on a curb drinking desperados like a bunch of desperados."
Later she tweeted a thank you to Expedia for sorting her out another place to stay, and referred to Booking.com as ‘Doublebooking.com’.
TravelMole has approached Booking.com for a comment.
