You must be a very inexperienced traveller to say something like this OR you have not read properly read any of the posts fully on this thread.You are very greatly mistaken.NO you are totally mistaken,you usually do not have to pay a full extra day - you usually have to pay a 1/2 day rate for 6pm check out & this is what was quoted & confirmed in advance via email for the booking.
For heavens sake exactly how many times have you ever had late check out till 6pm in Bali or elsewhere? IF you have been charged a full day rate then they have seen you coming mate.
I have been travelling the world for 35 years & never once run into this sort of problem anywhere.Granted IF the girls did not book or organise late check out in advance they would have been taking a risk & had to check out at 10am but this was definately NOT the case.They had agreed & accepted to pay the agreed 1/2 day rate for check out till 6pm - there is basically nothing to argue about! The hotel screwed up big time - full stop,end of story.
We have been going to Bali many time over the years for 15 years & never ever had to change rooms with late check out.The girls were quoted & happy to pay what was requested as a 1/2 day rate for late check out until 6pm.This was all booked & confirmed via email with the manager in advance - then the hotel changed their mind at the very last minute & went back on the agreement & the booking they had with the girls.
Won't get into an full blown argument with anyone over this because the hotel definately did the wrong thing.You are completely wrong with what you are saying.
