In Bali at the moment just spent time at Padma the room was booked in the begining of this year and credit card details were asked for to hold the booking
Have just left Padma and while settling our bill we were informed that $1,000 was frozen in the a/c and could not be touched by them or us for up to 2 weeks after we leave
This is extremely upsetting we are still in Bali for sometime yet and the a/c was set up with very little money to be used only for any emergency
Speaking with the staff at Padma we informed them there was never any mention of this over the phone at the time of booking and we had not been given anything in writing refering to this and if we had we would have allowed for this in our holiday plans
All the talking in the world was to know avail and the money still remains frozen
cheers
