Had to pay twice, rude response from hotel staff

Very terrible experience. Hotels.Com deducted the payment and yet Sunbird Chintheche didn't get the payment. I had to make the payment again. Now trying to process refund from Hotels. Com

Great experience. However, it took forever to be served meals! Maybe a suggestion would be to order ahead of time!
