Priceline Hotel: Help Identifying Nusa Dua, Bali, Indonesia

[Lauren1168]

Hi, I'm new to this whole bidding thing. Can anybody identify the 5 star hotel for Priceline in Nusa Dua, Bali with a pool and business center? If not, could you tell me how I might figure it out? Thanks.

Welcome to BetterBidding!

Please provide the dates of your stay and the room rate per nite and we'll have a look at the offer above.

We are staying from April 23rd for 5 nights. We don't know the room rate yet because we haven't started bidding. We want to know if it's possible to figure out how to narrow down which hotels we might get by bidding on a five star in Nusa Dua. I think some people in the past have gotten the Westin?

You can see all hotels reported to the board in the Priceline Hotel List. HOWEVER, as per the comments at the top of the hotel list, these are only hotels reported to the board and new hotels can be added/removed at any time so you need to be willing to accept any hotel in the zone at the star rating (or higher) that you bid.

With HOTWIRE you can often take an educated guess as to what is being offered based upon the amenities associated with the property, but it's still a 'best guess' and no guarantees you will receive the hotel you're hoping for.

Let us know your thoughts and how you'd like to proceed and we'll take it from there.

It looks like the Westin and the Novotel are the two hotels that priceline offers this way. People have gotten the Westin for $55 - $66 per night as recently as last year, so I guess I'll start bidding at $55 and then go up to around $80 or $85. Does that seem reasonable for this time of year or is that too optimistic?

We don't see too much bidding in this area so with a little time on your side you can/should certainly start lower and increase from there.
