In Reply to: hotels have the right to charge posted by clovis on Sunday, 8. February 2009 at 08:35 Bali Time:
I'm not arguing with you on this Clove,but I think it would be grossly unfair for a hotel to charge a guest extra when a room has already been paid for in full (unless of course an extra bed is required) and I would argue it strenuously.
Surely the hotel would only find out from a security guard anyway.
As for the guard...I guess it would depend on the 'guest's' nationality wouldn't it? I mean,If they're anything but Indonesian then the guard probably wouldn't even bat an eyelid,whereas trying to bring back a local would definitely raise an eyebrow and the issue of 'pocket money' would then be raised.
