The way it works is that they will send you a cancellation form. You have to then bid again for the same number of nights in the same zone at the same star rating for the new, correct dates. If you are successful and have your bid accepted, you will then enter your new reservation # into the cancellation form, email it back, and they'll cancel the old reservation. Be persistent, they should let you do it.

Alternatively, call the hotel directly and explain your predicament. I had a Hampton Inn here in the USA change the date of a stay for me for no charge when I screwed up a Priceline reservation once.
OK I screwed up on the dates once - was off by a month and did not realize it until I tried to check-in.
But to do it 3 times. I think you need to hire a proof reader to assist you in your pl bookings @:-)
