In Reply to: Hotel only posted by gunn parker on Wednesday, 29. July 2009 at 09:01 Bali Time:
I've booked my accommodation online but as i mentioned, no deposit required.
I always book well in advance because we frequently stay in small places.
On previous visits when i've booked online i have sometimes been asked for c/c details so I gave details for a c/c that had just enough on it to cover any required deposit.
I found that booking directly with the hotels, no money was deducted from the c/c by the hotels prior to my visit. I paid everything in cash when i got to Bali.
When i've booked online with a travel agent and have been asked for the full amount i've gone with well known websites such as asia rooms.
Hope this helps :)
