In Reply to: doing your own booking posted by olli on Friday, 8. February 2008 at 17:29 Bali Time:
direct with the hotel. E-mail them for their best rates and if it suits then I make a booking. Have never had to pay a deposit or send credit card details. Just pay at the end of our stay.
Although I do e-mail the week before just to double check on my booking and I also print out a copy of their e-mail with the room rate that was offered.
Hope this helps
