Matkanjärjestäjä oli sijoittanut seuramatkalla olleen matkustajan asumaan matkakohteessa sovittua hotellihuonetta puutteellisemmin varustettuun hotellin omaan käyttöön varattuun huoneeseen. Kun matkustajan saamat palvelut eivät siten olleet vastanneet sitä, mitä hänelle oli luvattu, vaan ne olivat jääneet tasoltaan sovittua alhaisemmiksi, matkustaja oikeutettiin saamaan matkanjärjestäjältä kohtuullinen alennus seuramatkan hinnasta.
