Indonesia Hotel Tips - Hot to Save On Accommodation

Indonesia is generally safe to visit; however, some precautions should be taken regarding food and beverage. Methanol poisoning from drinking fake alcohol poses serious health risks that should be avoided whenever possible; instead opt for the bottled versions.

Tipping is typically not included with bills, however a 10% tip would be ideal in instances of exceptional service such as guides at sightseeing sites who often receive no other means of compensation in form of tips.

1. Check the hotel’s social media pages

Indonesia hotels often maintain social media pages for special offers and tips for travelers. It is wise to regularly check these pages and sign up for their newsletter.

Tipping tour guides, taxi drivers, hotel maids and other service workers is common practice in Indonesia due to their relatively low base salaries and tips can help make ends meet. A general guideline would be $12 per day; if they did an exceptional job you can add extra.

Hotel staff should also receive tips, such as housekeepers and bellmen. A tip of approximately 5,000 rupiah for each suitcase they transport should suffice - best practice suggests giving directly to them so it will be fully appreciated! Furthermore, massage therapists and salon workers should be given tips as well.

2. Sign up for their newsletter

Indonesia is a wonderful Southeast Asia destination that should not be missed on any itinerary. To ensure a hassle-free trip, however, it's vital that you do your research and plan your itinerary in advance to get the best hotel deals as well as take into account tips, food hygiene concerns and potential medical emergencies.

Tipping in Indonesia is common practice due to low wages for service employees who depend on tips to supplement their pay packages - particularly in tourist hotspots like Bali.

General guidelines call for tipping tour guides, taxi drivers and restaurant staff a small amount. A general rule is 10% of your bill as hotels often include service charges. Furthermore, tipping the bell boy who carried your suitcase may also be appropriate; and massage therapists or spa attendants a few dollars an hour is another great gesture!

3. Look for special offers

Indonesia boasts a rich culture and breathtaking landscapes that draw thousands of tourists each year. To save on accommodation costs, travellers should keep an eye out for special offers and discounts; doing this allows them to stay in a hotel in Indonesia at much reduced costs.

Travellers should also be mindful of Indonesian tipping etiquette. In tourist hotspots like Bali, tipping local service providers is customary - including taxi drivers who may assist with luggage or suggest alternate routes to avoid traffic jams.

Tips aren't mandatory, but they are often appreciated by locals and can go a long way toward improving service standards. When tipping locally it is best to do it directly and provide gratuities directly to those providing the service - in hotels this includes leaving something for the housekeeper or bellman who assisted you with carrying your suitcases.

4. Book online

Online booking may often provide better deals as hotels don't need to pay hotel comparison sites a commission fee. Also check a hotel's official website as this could offer unique deals not found through other booking websites.

Tipping in Indonesia isn't customary, but it may be appropriate if someone goes the extra mile - for instance a taxi driver who has assisted with your luggage may deserve a small gratuity such as USD 2.00/EURO/GBP per bag they helped transport.

Additionally, tour guides and bell boys at hotels should receive gratuities. While it's not required, tipping can always be appreciated as base salaries tend to be low.
