Is this the norm or do I avoid this at all costs? Surely all I would need to do is pay the deposit etc to secure accommodation without sending them my details. Your help will be much appreciated.

There is a lot of credit card fraud in India, so you are certainly right to be wary of handing out your credit card details. | Is the hotel one with a good reputation? It might be useful to post the name of it here, so others can comment about this. Mel gassi gassi Post Count: 28 Msg: #3 65 days ago, September 17th 2009 | Hi Mel, | Thanks for your response. The place does have a good rep and I believe you are a fan of the place as well. It is Bentley's Hotel in Mumbai. This place is also Lonely Planet's pick.

I would be shocked if they did something dishonest. I havent stayed there myself, but it has been recommended by a lot of backpackers on travel sites and ones I met while travelling in Mumbai too. | But, yeah book in advance. The Bentley gets booked up. Mel Number of Users: 2 | Number of Posts: 4 | ||||||||||||
