Yeah its fairly obvious really, you're adding the two pound on to the £27 instead of taking it away to give you the £25.

Its voodoo magic. Its gone.
Its not gone anywhere, its the wording that is supposed to confuse people.
They initially paid £30. Overcharged £5 so after the refund, only £25 has been paid to the hotel. |The guests get £3 back, and the bellboy gets £2. £25 + £2 + £3 = £30.
