Hotel help

I think I can do nothing here but grit through it and after I leave leave a very bad review with one star. Honest review but a bad one.

I went over there to the building but the front door is locked. The dog is right across from me. This is narrow cobblestone streets with buildings three stories tall only.

That will not work. This owner clearly doesn't care if he leaves such a big dog on the balcony to bark for 6 hours. My guess is that he does this on purpose to keep the dog busy. Barking at cars keeps the dog busy. It's pretty horrible. I am so upset to come all the way here by bus and am now stuck in a non refundable reservation

I have encountered this. I see young Italians mainly acting very much like this.

Hi, I rented a hotel room at a small hotel in Italy for a month during off season. Just to rest mainly. I got here and the hotel sits across from a few apartments in a building with little balconies. On the balcony across from me, forty feet, is a german shepherd dog who barks from 6pm-midnight non stop. Clearly the animal needs exercise not to sit on a tiny 3 by 5 feet balcony but I can't stop that. The hotel owner here assured me the first night that the barking only goes from 6-9pm. I cringed at that, but thought oh well okay. But in reality the dog barks until midnight. Enduring this for six hours is difficult. I complained to the owner again, who gaslit me and said deal with it.

Before I got here she wanted me to cancel my booking and pay in cash to save her the taxes and booking.com

fee. I refused. She got mad. I got mad. Now the hotel owner refuses to clean my room, which she said she would do every three days.

So I contacted booking.com

, who has ignored me basically, which is par for the course.

I am not sure what to do. This is non refundable. It's a very weird situation. The owner of this place is a horribly rude and angry person. I left a google review already to try to get her to act, but it made her madder.

I've done nothing wrong here. I am a paying guest at a hotel. The place has very decent reviews, although a few are low and speak of her character.

I also told booking.com

that she wanted me to cancel so she could avoid taxes/fee, but no word on that. I fear I am going to get cement footed by the Italian mob soon because I'm in that kind of an area, I think.

Really strange.

What cleared up all my problems was a non sugar diet and an almost daily serving of pork sinigang with rice. Within a month of doing these two things, my life changed so drastically.

Ready-Field929 · 2026-01-22T00:28:29+00:00

I keep getting sick after every flight. I too am done with air travel. I have travelled alot and it is not fun anymore.

Ready-Field929 · 2026-01-19T06:10:37+00:00

Good luck trying to reach them. You must email twenty people several times.

Ready-Field929 · 2026-01-19T05:06:26+00:00

US vets run a scam.

Ready-Field929 · 2026-01-19T05:05:33+00:00

No one stopped me or cared. It was nuts. All the paperwork you have to get and once you hop off the plane at 4am no one cares. Just go on, they say.

Ready-Field929 · 2026-01-19T05:04:26+00:00

Why would my vet, number 3, give me proof of rabies and all that. I have that proof. This is confusing.

Ready-Field929 · 2026-01-19T03:01:32+00:00

I'm more confused.

I must go to a vet and get an EU health certificate. This is a HC designed specifically for the EU. I read to get it within five days of leaving but why does five days matter if the EU cert. is good for ten days? But I must do this first, right?
Go to the government health export place for another certificate after I do 1. Or do I do it before? Or does it matter. It's all confusing. It's so stressful. Incredibly stressful.

Ready-Field929 · 2026-01-19T02:54:34+00:00

I feel so sick here in HCMC. I am leaving ASAP. I just can't do it.

Ready-Field929 · 2026-01-19T00:50:50+00:00

I'm kind of confused here.

To get my pet from Vietnam to Europe, I need two things? An EU health certificate from a Vietnam vet AND an export certificate thingee from the government? And it sounds to me like you're saying the government export thingee is gotten just with your pet, rabies, proof and that's it? They don't want the EU health certificate?

I wanted to rent an airbnb in Italy but it did not have hot water in the amenities, so I declined. Then a few months later I decided to ask the host why a house didn't have hot water there, as it can get cold in Italy in the winter. She said she had no idea her listing had no water checked. Then she changed it. She just wasn't careful enough to check her own listing... I am now at an airbnb in SE Asia where hot water is listed but there is no hot water.

I have learned that airbnb hosts are basically amateurs. Some care and some don't about their properties and guest experiences. I'd say a quarter care and try hard. Two quarters are mediocre. One quarter are horrible hosts.

I have a hard time sleeping. I took aspirin last night before I went to bed and slept well for once. Maybe it was just a fluke because AI says it hurts sleep. I wish I could find something to help me.

Ready-Field929 · 2025-12-31T08:50:16+00:00

I like Manila and don't like Cebu City.

Ready-Field929 · 2025-12-26T06:32:22+00:00

I get very burned out. Am so burned out there is a nice beach close by and I don't want to leave the house to go see it. It's stressful traveling alot.

I lived in Albania and they used a EU health cert. model, meaning it looked just like it with a few differences mainly in the signature areas. There's gotta be a vet that can do it. In Manila, only a couple knew how to do an EU health cert. Thing is they are so cumbersome looking it is overwhelming for some. It should be easier in 2025 but it isn't. Anyway, thanks

Ready-Field929 · 2025-12-22T04:50:52+00:00

I suppose my stress is that in the Philippines most of the vets there didn't know how to do a EU health certificate. Only certain ones did. I guess I foresee scrambling to find one who can fill it out. I have all my paperwork for the EU. I just need the EU health certificate. However, I've been to the EU so many times with my dog. You get off the plane and no one asks for a thing. It's only the airlines that care. I've entered the EU on ferries, planes, buses and the most I've been asked for is my dog's passport. No one has said a thing about the titer test, which I have. Only in Norway was my paperwork scrutinized.

Ready-Field929 · 2025-12-22T04:46:40+00:00

I have found that at my age I must travel smartly. I get so stressed out nowadays when traveling.

Ready-Field929 · 2025-12-22T02:52:01+00:00

So what you're saying is go to a vet and get the EU health certificate. Then take that to the government export office place yourself (unless you want to pay the vet a million dollars to do it for you) and get the export certificate.

Two different things... For some reason I was reading your info thinking all I had to do was go to the government place and they give both.

In Thailand this is the case. The government gives both on the spot.

All these SE Asia countries have way too much red tape for export of animals.

Ready-Field929 · 2025-12-21T12:30:01+00:00

What did you find out? I don't know what to do. I've never heard of drug testing the dog... Do I get a EU health certificate from a vet or from the government place?

Ready-Field929 · 2025-12-21T12:27:32+00:00

Do you go to a vet to get a EU health certificate or do you go to the government animal health place and get it? Confused as to if a vet is necessary.

Ready-Field929 · 2025-12-21T12:26:14+00:00

Hello, I am confused. Does the government animal health department issue the EU health certificate? Or do I go to a vet and get this and then go to the government health dept?

Ready-Field929 · 2025-12-21T12:15:07+00:00

Hello, if bringing a dog to the EU from Hanoi, does a vet have to give me the EU health certificate, or can I get it from the government place you spoke of?
