Recently returned from HK and only had the chance to experience HGs, so i thought i would give some feedback on the agents i dealt with. To cut to the chase, i would rank from
my experience as follows:
Good:
1. DK - Reliable, polite, decent english, willing to text eng name of hotel!!, good selection, photos are not heavily doctored, hotels not always the cheap and nasty. Did i say reliable?
2. CK - Didnt get a chance to try, as his HG was unavailable. didnt just set me up with a B&S but asked if i wanted to take a look at other options. Ive got a feeling he also engages in a bit of false advertising as the girl i was after was not available and when i asked if she has time tomorrow, he asked me to ring tomorrow. DK did not have any problems booking appointments in the following day.
3. Agent with phone 6313 8806 (Agent for Kar Kar and currently,
Australia) Polite, reliable, nice hotel (RG at TST), speaks some eng, didnt try B&S, only problem is a lack of a good selection.
TWOT (total waste of time):
1. MMS with number beginning with 9795 0061 (Vivian) - B&S but with viable alternative, shoe box hotels
2. PPS with number beginning with 6696 5876 (Vera, July) - B&S with shitty attitude, no viable alternative, shoe box hotels
3. MMS for Co Co in Tsuen Wan (i went there based on the report
here) Rang ahead of schedule and asked for Co Co. MMS said ring her when i get to TW. Rang her when i get there, and she said she will call me back. 30 min later, no call, so i called her again. She said Co Co is running late and will give me a call back... im like wtf... should i go or stay... against better judgement, i waited for another 30 min and called then mms again. All she said was CoCo was resting and then hung up!! I wasted an hr of my time at the MTR station and didnt even get to see a HG!
Some final words, i did not have a lot of available time in HK, so reliability was important. Genuine HGs profiles will only stay on the DB for a short time, and if you see recurring ads for a few weeks of the same HG, chances are you will be get B&S. Also have the photo of the HG ready when u go to the hotel room and dont be afraid to walk away.
