In Reply to: paying for villa before arrival - dodgy? posted by newhoneymooners on Friday, 1. October 2010 at 16:43 Bali Time:
I think this is quite common now, due to supply and demand.Too many people have pulled out and the owners have been left high and dry.
That is why they are asking for 50% deposits.
There is a really high demand for luxury villas.
