In Reply to: don't you find that booking... posted by stephjoy on Monday, 1. August 2011 at 15:08 Bali Time:
The hotels I booked were in Vietnam (twice) and Phuket and there was very little difference, in some cases Booking. Com was cheaper.
But you are right it certainly pays to shop around and quite often a direct booking with the hotel is the best way to go.
