I Booked direct with hotel quoted USD 120++ per night,happy with this staying 14 nights, upon check out my account reads like this,
they converted USD to RP about 1.1m per night, all is good then the aussie dollar drops quite a bit after a few days,
then I'm charged about 1.3rp per nite for a few nights,(extra $26 a night)
the dollar goes up and we are back to 1.1Rp per nite,
I think this is a bit sneaky, if I had said on "check in" I'll pay for my accommodation now and the $ dropped, this wouldn't happen. Not sure if this is the way other hotels are charging.
So it might be something to consider for those who have booked direct with hotel and they way $ is fluctuating at the moment,
I realise this could have gone in my favour if the $ had gone up, although you never know, unfortunately I didn't have a lot of time to talk to them about it, and how would one argue this, Personally I would have thought if they quote USD they would charge USD. Any thoughts anyone
