Booking With Awd?

[mike140586]

I am in the process of booking accomodation through Asia Web Direct but am concerned by some of the terms and conditions. In the t&c it says:

Such fares, prices and international rates of exchange are subject to change, which in turn may affect room rates quoted. Regardless of a deposit or full payment having been made, any increase in the rates must also be paid by the customer. If such increase is unacceptable, the customer retains the right to cancel his/her booking. However, attention is drawn to the possibility that some cancellation charges may be imposed covering AWD cancellation cost.

So if i read that right I could pay the full balance only to find that the hotel has put the rates up on arrival and asks for poteintially loads more money? That seems uterly ridiculous! Has anyone else had any problems like this?

Thanks

I never pay in advance for a hotel - sometimes a deposit, but mostly I book directly with the hotel and they don't ask for payment. I certainly wouldn't go with the one you've described.
