#4: Thanks for your reply. I know it's about prostitution and avoiding police hassle. But what's really annoying: booking a hotel room at Bentleys in advance, telling beforehand it's for a foreign woman and an Indian man, they say it's ok, but when you arrive are forced to take 2 separate rooms. Can only hope we won't face this problem when travelling this summer (and if so, we'll book 2 rooms, a tacky one and a nice one :-)).
#6: EXCUSE ME???? If he looks like a guide???? Tell me, what does a guide look like?? My God, really.....
I know how the average 'pro' looks like (even then you can be mistaken though), but did you ever hear of a pro booking a hotel room in advance for a couple of days?
#8: I don't know if this is also an issue when one of you is a white westerner and your partner half Indian. I'm Dutch and my friend has the Indian nationality. You don't know me, but you're absolutely right: I'm not a rangdi, a pro, and certainly don't look like one. Thanks.
Robert: ik heb je een PM gestuurd, groetjes.

I'm a white, Danish guy and my gf is from Nagaland (meaning she is an Indian national but looking Southeast Asian rather than Indian). Only once ever have we been turned down when trying to book a room over the phone. Never been turned down on arrival at a hotel, even after showing one Indian and one Danish passport. So it's hardly a legal requirement that you cannot share a room., but rather as others say it is probably more to avoid the hotel being turned into a brothel.
