However, as I booked through Shopback.sg, I will be credited back 6% as rebate. Well, it work out to about $5.33 rebate, which brings my net booking for the 2 nights at $83.53.
Its good to know everyone already got a room. The problem with me is i can only book from Kaha or Anshun. Simple reason..agoda,booking.com,hotel.com or even shopback.sg DO NOT have the room i need. And if i get them direct from hotel,it will cost me about S$80.00,so Kaha or Anshun is my only choice. I still need to head to Kaha in the coming trip even tho i have already advised all bros who are with me to book from online. Everyone with me apparently booked their rooms...ONLY ME have not.

My "room" is under renovation in Formosa,hehehe...but they move all the furniture,appliances etc to another room,so i am still awaiting for their reply to get a new "room". I think this trip's accommodation might just be all good or all bad for me...either i got no room to stay or i have a new "room" to stay,hehehe...

Wish me luck...

Another good option and thank you for sharing. Too bad for me,its for the majority and not me,hehehe...as stated above,i can only book from Kaha or Anshun. Cheapest i find for Formosa deluxe room for 2 nights is under hotel.com at around S$92.00 inclusive of tax.

(to be honest,i was quite pizz off with Kaha yesterday but i am good now)

My advise is still to always compare from site to site and watch out if tax is inclusive. Prices do varies from time to time on different sites.This time round,price difference only a few dollar,so it isnt too bad. Hopefully next year price will be even lower.
