As I was preparing to depart Addis, a member of their staff was waiting at the airport for me hours after I checked out of the hotel. She allegedly ‘forgot’ to charge me for something and did not want to get into trouble. This was shocking to me because as I was checking out with her, I specifically asked her if we were all set, to which she replied “yes, you are good to go”. Further, she got airport staff involved as well. With the language barrier that existed with her, it was hard for me to fully understand how this happened. She was instant that I pay the money for the forgotten charge so she would not get in trouble, nearly causing me to miss my flight. She also had someone on a call on her cell phone during. She finally asked if I had cash (USD) and fortunately I did, but it just felt wrong and sketchy for me to pay in this manner, under these circumstances. Nonetheless I paid her as she was beginning to make a scene at the airport entrance. After I paid her (in the presence of the truly friendly Bole airport staff) she then tried to give me some of the cash back and said she’d cover the difference since it was her fault. I denied her request to give me money back as I just wanted this interaction to be over. Having this kind of interaction while abroad (with the language barrier) made me so nervous and uncomfortable. This was a very poor way to handle this, Daamat. Because of this, I cannot say I will ever stay at your property again, nor can I recommend it to others.
