"So in over 5 years never had this happen Arranged a meet with a couple they wanted to meet at a hotel, so we booked it 3 weeks in advance, paid fully by us, non refundable A week later we get a text saying they are going to have to cancel as something has come up they can’t avoid. Fair enough things happen, we of course don’t quiz them, however we find that the something they couldn’t avoid is a swingers party! Which they attend The question is.... Would you pursue them for the full cost for the unused hotel room? It’s not the money it’s the principle " I understand your frustration and the principle...how exactly are you going to pursue them? Small claims court? I know the burden of proof is lower but I'm not sure they could be seen as entering into any kind of contract with you...I'm sure some more learned types will be along to debunk that theory for me... I think it'll probably be learning going forward...never book an unrefundable room or ask for half the money up front. Did you make use of the room anyway? We'd probably have seen it as an excuse to have an overnighter somewhere different | |||

Would you pursue them for the full cost for the unused hotel room? It’s not the money it’s the principle " never book non refundable rooms ,booking.com offer free cancellation up to 4pm on day of booking ,this varies but go for that always | |||

"Obviously not going to pursue via courts etc, just a nudging text and then forget about it. I guess in over 5 years this is the first non genuine cancellation but it had to happen, like we said it’s nit the money it’s the principal x" it's more the fact they ignored you for a party but alas it's common people are always looking for the best offer available | |||
" I guess in over 5 years this is the first non genuine cancellation but it had to happen," How is it non-genuine. They gave you 2 weeks notice that they were cancelling? | |||
" I guess in over 5 years this is the first non genuine cancellation but it had to happen, How is it non-genuine. They gave you 2 weeks notice that they were cancelling?" Rightly so - two weeks notice is very reasonable It’s annoying but plenty of time to either arrange something else or make the most of a night out the two of you | |||

Rightly so - two weeks notice is very reasonable It’s annoying but plenty of time to either arrange something else or make the most of a night out the two of you " Yes plenty of notice, but when you take it as good faith and they ask YOU to book the hotel,we think it’s just off for them to decide they’ve had a better offer and do something else, in over 5 years we’ve never done that or would even be tempted to, we stick to our word and do what we are going to do, we guess that’s why we get lots of meets because we don’t change our minds once something is set up, on the other hand we don’t expect others too either. | |||
" if you're a single guy not so easy I've had that that's how I learnt my lesson" Your post makes no sense, had what? someone cancel 2 weeks in advance? | |||
| |||
"OP your profile says "honesty is the best policy. If you don't want to meet us just say". That's what they did, two weeks before the meet. " No that’s not, they said something had come up they couldn’t avoid and they would rearrange | |||
" if you're a single guy not so easy I've had that that's how I learnt my lesson Your post makes no sense, had what? someone cancel 2 weeks in advance? " I think he means that as a single guy he can't just go to the hotel and have fun anyway as a couple can? Mr J | |||

" I wouldn’t do that either and have actually had it happen to me (as a couple) the very same day ! Sad fact of reality that it happens on here all the time which is why I tend to prefer to meet at a club especially when I’m already staying in a hotel to go there All I can say is you probably won’t be the first they do that to and can only hope that it might happen to them one day | |||
"They’ll just block you. It’s a tough one that probably most of us have experienced and learnt from tbh " We’ve already blocked them, just about to block there mobile too | |||
" We’ve already blocked them, just about to block there mobile too" So you have decided not to persue them for the money ? | |||
    | |||
" We’ve already blocked them, just about to block there mobile too So you have decided not to persue them for the money ?" Don’t care about the money, we have texted them to say we think they are out of order and had no response, so we are leaving it, it’s the principle | |||
"Personally I wouldn’t persure for the money. Just use it as an excuse for a dirty night out as a couple. " exactly this. Then block and move on.  | |||

As others have said, it was probably not ideal to book a non refundable room but its been done now, best to forget it and move on. Its not healthy dwelling on such things. Mr J | |||
"Wouldn't pursue at all, they gave plenty of notice. We use hotels but wouldn't book non-refundable for a meet as cancellations for whatever reason can and do occur. If they'd done that on the day for the party and it was impossible to cancel the room then that would be a different story." ^^^^ This | |||

I agree if it was all organised then close to the day someone cancelled on me id be angry not like rage just ya know anyway its abit disrespectful to cancel something you've all agreed to and set up for something that sounds more appealing i think the op has a right to be annoyed with them no one can honestly say that they would be fine with it after paying for a hotel to have it all thrown away no one | |||

They cancelled 2 weeks in advance, regardless of the reasons,they gave you plenty of time yet you are here slagging them off. Just move on. Dwelling on shit like that is not good for your sanity.

As people realise we are decent people and won’t mess people around eh?
Self absorbed?? We are here for our own fun but that doesn't mean we are self absorbed. What it does mean is we go with what is best for us, with limited time to play we are going to do that rather than try to please everyone else, otherwise why are we here?

"You're missing basics of consent here OP. They could have been stood naked in the hotel room with you and still decided no, not for us, and went to the party instead. They gave you 2 weeks notice. You entirely missed the point of my previous comment that the issue if with your choice of hotel. YOUR CHOICE. you can't blame them or expect them to pay when you booked the hotel and paid for it in advance with no chance of free cancellation. I'm waiting on a new forum post along the lines of: We agreed to meet a couple based on friend recommendations. After chatting they booked a hotel room for us to meet with 3 weeks notice. 2 weeks before my mum took very ill and we weren't sure if we would make it as I was looking after her so gave them plenty of notice and cancelled the meet. A couple of days before the weekend my mum was much better and we had some time to ourselves. It seemed off to message them to see if they were still free after we had cancelled and a friend had said there was space at a party she was having. We decided on the party because it would be less pressure to play when I wasn't sure how I'd be after the last couple of weeks. Now they're bad mouthing us to all of our friends and posting shit about us on the forum because we went to the party. Are all people on fab this awful? "A good point and if this is what happened fair enough of course we’d understand that but that’s not what happened As we said it’s the principle of changing there minds and lying to us after they chased us for a meet based on friends recommendations, if they’d been honest, no problem Honestly it’s a slow day at work we don’t care about the situation just the principal and it’s interesting to see people’s opinions and what people see as an acceptable way to conduct themselves x | |||

Because it’s interesting to see other people’s point of view and create debate"True but as with most threads here, there is only one side of the story and the other party is not here to defend or explain themselves (not that they need to). Mr J | |||
"To be honest, this thread is kinda making you look bad. You keep saying you get lots of offers, are decent people etc, why didn't you invite one of the plethora of other couples wanting to meet you to stay in the room with you? It really does sound as if you're feeling bitter about this, the reason they cancelled is none of your business, you have no right to judge them on their choices, they gave you plenty of notice, they are well within their rights to change their minds and it was kinder to tell you that something came up. " Oh we played with a couple last night, the idea was to open a debate and see other people’s point of view rather than just our own, some people’s opinions we’ve dismissed, some we’ve taken on board x | |||

Yep this. They cancelled 2 weeks in advance, regardless of the reasons,they gave you plenty of time yet you are here slagging them off. Just move on. Dwelling on shit like that is not good for your sanity.
Mr J"You had plenty of time to find another couple. Two weeks notice is more than enough. I've had two minutes notice before. Noe that's annoying when it's too late to do something else. | |||

"So in over 5 years never had this happen Arranged a meet with a couple they wanted to meet at a hotel, so we booked it 3 weeks in advance, paid fully by us, non refundable A week later we get a text saying they are going to have to cancel as something has come up they can’t avoid. Fair enough things happen, we of course don’t quiz them, however we find that the something they couldn’t avoid is a swingers party! Which they attend The question is.... Would you pursue them for the full cost for the unused hotel room? It’s not the money it’s the principle " Use the room yourselves and forget about them. Not something to worry about. | |||

Treating poorly would have been to ask for the hotel to be booked and then just not turn up. They contacted you with notice. They didn’t make up a huge lie but kept it simple with a “something came up”. I’m not saying it was a great outcome, it’s always a bit disappointing when plans change. V x | |||

Self absorbed?? We are here for our own fun but that doesn't mean we are self absorbed. What it does mean is we go with what is best for us, with limited time to play we are going to do that rather than try to please everyone else, otherwise why are we here? Surely you could have took one of the many other offers instead of slagging them off on here. Let's hope they don't read the forums.
So let’s get this straight you’d pursue a couple to arrange a meet, ask them to book the room then a little later you get a party invite and decide to go to that instead and lie to the couple you chased and and arranged a meet, what lovely people you are you
Personally we don’t give a crap about any of it, we had fun with a couple we haven’t seen for a while, but it’s fun to see the attitude of some people on this thread.....
Just because you do not agree with you does not mean we have an 'attitude', but in answer to your questions
1. We would not pursue and definitely not chase a couple. We meet in clubs only, and do ok.
2. Wouldnt ask them to book a room if we did. We would book our own room with free cancellation. That would be a no brainer knowing that people cancel and life gets in the way.
3. If we had the offer of a party, we would consider it. After all we maybe let down so have to go with whats right for us. Why not? nothing is set in stone.
4. We dont make assumptions about how lovely someone is, but yes people who meet us say we are.
5. We wouldnt put up a post slagging someone who had at least shown enough respect to give two weeks notice.
so you're saying you yourselves would let somebody down if a better offer came up ,their you have it everyone nothing is honourable in this lifestyle ,so be aware always that setting a date in advance should be treated with absolute caution ,never book rooms unless you can cancel on the day ,don't spend money on travel expenses and don't waste your annual leave and if you do any of this know that that money will be wasted and that no remorse will be shown ,no sympathy or empathy will be shared "Absolutely! We have both been around this scene for years. I have lost count of the number of times I (fem) have been let down over hotels and meets, lost money etc, so yeh we do what's right for us. We are up front about it and don't lead people on, but we are sensible and don't rely on anyone. | |||
"They asked the OP to book a hotel, presumably to pay half on the night. They then cancel, leaving the OP with the full cost? To be quite honest, no matter how long the cancellation period, or the reason they cancelled, they should immediately offer to cover the full cost. As it is, they’ve changed their mind for a better offer and ducked out of the financial problem it causes the OP. To me that’s extremely shabby, selfish behaviour that really can’t be defended." How were they to know they chose to book a non refundable rate? | |||
"Obviously not going to pursue via courts etc, just a nudging text and then forget about it. I guess in over 5 years this is the first non genuine cancellation but it had to happen, like we said it’s nit the money it’s the principal x It is a genuine cancellation. They cancelled and let you know. I get that the you don’t like the reason but to be brutal, if the party was looking like more fun I’d probably have done the same. But I would have suggested to not book a room in advance just in case either of us changed our minds. V x We don’t treat people poorly and wouldn’t change our mind for a party invite etc it’s selfish and indicative of lots of people’s attitudes to do what they want and f@&k everyone else. Maybe because we don’t have that attitude, we think others should be the same. People are not entering into a contract to fuck you. They have the right to change their mind. For whaever reason they decided the party was a better option for them, they gave you plenty of warning. We are all here for our own fun and as annoying as it maybe that will mean people go with what is best for them.

Perhaps in the initial conversation they should of said book a refundable room. The OP would of known then their might of been a possibility of being let down. | |||

Absolutely! We have both been around this scene for years. I have lost count of the number of times I (fem) have been let down over hotels and meets, lost money etc, so yeh we do what's right for us. We are up front about it and don't lead people on, but we are sensible and don't rely on anyone. "I can only be an honourable person I don't treat the next person badly just because the previous person wasn't good to me ,if you arrange a meet honour it otherwise the whole place will descend into chaos ,the op feels justly let down and to be honest deserves to be refunded because the couple who let them down could have made the meet ,he won't get the money back and he has learnt a valuable lesson in regard to booking hotels but not a good advert for the site really ,I've been let down many times in past and it's cost me money when I could ill afford it but I've had to suck it up but those that say still go and make a night of it doesn't really help the single people amongst us who get caught out in the same way  | |||
" ,I've been let down many times in past and it's cost me money when I could ill afford it but I've had to suck it up " You say this as if you had met it wouldnt have cost you money? | |||

"So in over 5 years never had this happen Arranged a meet with a couple they wanted to meet at a hotel, so we booked it 3 weeks in advance, paid fully by us, non refundable A week later we get a text saying they are going to have to cancel as something has come up they can’t avoid. Fair enough things happen, we of course don’t quiz them, however we find that the something they couldn’t avoid is a swingers party! Which they attend The question is.... Would you pursue them for the full cost for the unused hotel room? It’s not the money it’s the principle " 1- did they agree to pay half the cost? 2- did they agree to book the hotel so far in advance 3- Get another meet! | |||
"They asked the OP to book a hotel, presumably to pay half on the night. They then cancel, leaving the OP with the full cost? To be quite honest, no matter how long the cancellation period, or the reason they cancelled, they should immediately offer to cover the full cost. As it is, they’ve changed their mind for a better offer and ducked out of the financial problem it causes the OP. To me that’s extremely shabby, selfish behaviour that really can’t be defended.

Perhaps in the initial conversation they should of said book a refundable room. The OP would of known then their might of been a possibility of being let down." This is a good point. If i had cancelled I would have offered to pay my share (if I’d have asked them to book a room) but I wouldn’t have asked. V x | |||
" ,I've been let down many times in past and it's cost me money when I could ill afford it but I've had to suck it up You say this as if you had met it wouldnt have cost you money?" lol well you took on board that point ,when you're spending money on something that you enjoy that's obviously a lot different to wasting it unnecessarily don't you think ? | |||

If you're spending it on a leisure activity its hardly money you can "ill afford" is disposable income | |||

"Personally I wouldn’t persure for the money. Just use it as an excuse for a dirty night out as a couple. " great answer! | |||
