How it works
Small guesthouses near Malioboro and around Borobudur claim system errors have overbooked standard rooms, pressuring guests into expensive "deluxe" upgrades at check-in. Some hold luggage or claim online reservations were never received. Disputes over cancellation policies are settled against guests through fake confirmations.
