Just booked my hotel in Mumbai. This should not be nearly as fraught with drama as it is.
My main worry comes from the fact that the custom is apparently to pay the entire cost of the stay up front. How can I really trust that I'll show up 8 weeks from now, in the middle of the night, and everything will be as it should? How can I trust that this place isn't an absolute hovel? That they won't dump me in the worst room in the place? There are tons of horror stories out there about this sort of thing -- "They 'lost' my booking and scammed me out of $80!" "I paid for a deluxe double with air conditioning and a view but instead what I got was a windowless rat-infested closet!"
Well, here's hoping it all works out, somehow...
