The Bali Trip Mate

Hi Ayed, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are genuinely sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We fully respect that every traveler has their own perspective regarding value, accommodation locations, and destinations visited. Your comments help us continue improving our tours and services. However, we would like to respectfully clarify a few factual points for the benefit of future travelers reading this review: 1. Private Tour Arrangement: Before your departure, we contacted you because the minimum group size had not been reached. During our conversation, we explained the available options, including operating the trip as a private tour, and reached a mutual agreement before your arrival in Bali. Your response at the time was: “Ok fine if there’s new destinations I want to visit I can arrange with driver that okay deal 👍🏻” Based on this confirmation, we proceeded with the tour as agreed. 2. Refund Option: The review mentions that no cancellation or refund option was provided. We would like to clarify that, under our booking conditions, guests are entitled to a full refund when a guaranteed group departure cannot operate due to minimum participant requirements. After discussing the available options, you chose to continue with the private tour. 3. Hotel Locations: The accommodations used during your trip were the same hotels listed in your confirmed itinerary before arrival/departure. Their locations were communicated in advance and were not changed after your booking. We also understand your disappointment regarding the roads in Nusa Penida. Unfortunately, road infrastructure is managed by the local authorities and is beyond the control of any tour operator. Despite this, it remains one of Bali’s most popular destinations because of its spectacular scenery and unique landscapes. Regarding pricing, while independent travel can sometimes appear less expensive when comparing individual components, our tours include professionally planned itineraries, accommodation, transportation, activities, local operational support, and assistance before, during, and after the trip. Many of our guests appreciate the convenience, security, and peace of mind that come with a fully organized experience. Although we regret that the tour did not meet your expectations, we sincerely thank you for travelling with The Bali Trip Mate. We remain committed to transparent communication and delivering memorable travel experiences for every guest. We wish you all the best in your future travels. Warm regards, Rizal The Bali Trip Mate
