Dear Dmytro,
I hope that this email finds you well.
Once again thank you for making your booking through Booking.com.
As your booking is within the next few weeks a 50% deposit is required from all guests prior to their arrival. This will secure your reservation. This deposit is required at least 30 days prior to your check in date. When you booked with Booking.com they did take your credit card details as a security measure upon booking. This credit card was NOT charged at the time of booking.
We have accounts in the UK or Indonesia into which you can make a bank transfer. Alternatively, we can also accept payment through PayPal (payable in GBP and subject to a 5% PayPal administration fee). To use PayPal, you do not need to have your own account; you can just use your normal credit or debit card to make the payment and it is as simple as buying something online.
In order to avoid high international bank transfer charges we suggest that you use PayPal if you do not have an Indonesian or UK bank account.
We cannot use your credit card details on file. This is because our credit card machine here does not have the facility to input the details and take the payment, without the actual card being swiped through the machine. The banks here have prevented this facility for all small businesses as a preventative measure against a long history of credit card fraud originating out the country.
Please let me know how you would prefer to pay the deposit and I will send you the relevant details. The deposit amount required will be Rp2,200,000. The balance for the accommodation can be settled once you are here either by cash IDR or USD, or by credit card in IDR: visa or mastercard, subject to a 3% bank charge.
Please let me know the method that suits you best to make the deposit to secure this booking.
I look forward to hearing back from you.
Best Wishes
Tina
Получил такое письмо. Насколько законны их требования? Отменить бронь на букинге уже не могу снимет половину. Что делать? Даже если их требования законны переводить рубли/Доллары в GBP через пейпал просто ужасны, курс очень плохой + они еще хотят чтобы я заплатил 5% сверху.
