I had an issue with a booking
I had an issue with a booking - realised I can't pay with a debit card so I called the support. The girl who picked up (Madara) was so kind that she found a simple solution in less than 10 minutes. And on top of that I didn't lose any money for the new booking I made. Amazing, thank you!
