In Reply to: bargaining with hotels posted by olli on Monday, 11. February 2008 at 18:23 Bali Time:
Ask if they have special rates for e.g. 7 nights and more. (whatever amount of time you're staying)
Or do they have a loyalty program for guests who are thinking of staying there again?
Some will stick to their original price, others will reduce the rate or offer an upgrade.
I had a hotel in Bali where two employees were both answering my emails. One was offering half the price of the other employee.
