It sounds like you're trying to book directly with the hotel. You could
try some of the online hotel reservation services. They might have
different cancellation terms.

As a general rule, the lower the price you pay the harsher the
cancellation policies. The lowest prices often require that you pay in
full at the time of booking.
I agree with Chris. Try booking through a major hotel reservations
service based in your own country, if possible. Also, be sure to pay
only by credit card. I'd be a bit leery about a deposit so far out
unless the hotel is tied into an international hotel chain where, again,
you might have some recourse if everything isn't on the up and up.
