Accommodations

ACCOMMODATIONS

The most simplest one

Prices for the simplest double room start at unbelievably cheap; around US$10.00, and in all categories are at their most expensive from mid-June through August, and in December and January. Single rooms are a rarity, so lone travelers will be put in a double at about 75 percent of the full price. Check-out time is usually noon (12:00 - 14:00). The cheapest accommodation has shared bathrooms, where you wash using a sharing "kamar mandi". Toilets in these places will be squat affairs, flushed manually with water scooped from the pail that stands alongside, so you’ll have to provide toilet paper yourself.

The bottom end of Indonesia’s accommodation market is provided by homestays and hostels. Penginapan, or homestays, are most often simply spare bedrooms in the family home, though there’s often not much difference between these and losmen, pondok and wisma, which are also family-run operations. Rooms vary from whitewashed concrete cubes to artful bamboo structures – some are even set in their own walled gardens. Hard beds and bolsters are the norm, and you may be provided with a light blanket. Most losmen rooms have fans and cold-water bathrooms.

Almost any place calling itself a hotel in Indonesia will include at least a basic breakfast in the price of a room. Most of the middle and top-end places add a service-and-tax surcharge of between 10% and 21% to your bill, and upmarket establishments quote prices – and prefer foreigners to pay – in dollars, though they accept plastic or a rupiah equivalent. 

In popular areas such as Bali and Tanah Toraja, it’s worth booking ahead during the peak seasons. Bland and anonymous, cheap urban hotels are designed for local businesspeople rather than tourists, and have tiny rooms and shared squat toilets and kamar mandi. Moderately priced hotels often have a choice of fan or air-conditioned rooms, almost certainly with hot water.

In rural Indonesia, you may end up staying in villages without formal lodgings, in a bed in a family house. First ask permission from the local police or the kepala desa (village head). In exchange for accommodation and meals, you should offer cash or useful gifts, such as rice, salt, cigarettes or food, to the value of about US$2 at the very least. The only bathroom might be the nearest river. With such readily available and inexpensive alternatives, camping is only necessary when trekking.

Usually, electricity is supplied at 220–240 volts AC, but outlying areas may still use 110 volts. Most outlets take plugs with two rounded pins. [Source]

ACCOMMODATION IN INDONESIA 

Statistics & Facts

Indonesia is a magnet for tourists due to its stunning natural beauty and fascinating cultural heritage. Domestic and international tourists traveling to all corners of the country not only spur the growth of the travel and tourism industry but also become a major driver for Indonesia’s accommodation industry. In 2021, preliminary figures showed that the gross domestic product (GDP) of the accommodation industry in Indonesia amounted to approximately 79.17 trillion Indonesian rupiah. This was an increase of around five trillion Indonesian rupiah compared to the previous year.

How is the current state of the Indonesian accommodation industry?

The accommodation industry in Indonesia is growing in response to the increasing flow of tourists arriving and staying in accommodation facilities. The industry was severely impacted by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic as the government imposed social and border restrictions to mitigate the impact of the pandemic. Many hotels and similar establishments were forced out of business, resulting in a decline of around one hundred such establishments in 2021.

After reopening the borders and removing all quarantine requirements, as well as scraping on-arrival COVID-19 testing for international inbound travelers, accommodation in Indonesia started to recuperate. The country saw an increase in hotel room occupancy rates, crawling back to pre-pandemic levels. In 2022, the occupancy rate of star-rated hotels in Indonesia continued to increase from September to December, with an occupancy rate of more than fifty percent. Similarly, the occupancy rates of non-star hotels have been rising after plunging during the pandemic.

Why is the hotel industry important in Indonesia?

The hotel industry represents the biggest segment of the Indonesian accommodation industry, with yearly revenues reaching billions of U.S. dollars in the last decades. After plummeting during the heat of the COVID-19 pandemic, Indonesia's hotel industry experienced a rapid rebound, reaching revenues close to pre-pandemic figures in 2021. The revenue of the hotel industry in Indonesia is expected to continue to rise and reach 5.6 billion U.S. dollars by 2027.

Indonesians are getting back into traveling

After travel restrictions put the brakes on their travel plans, many Indonesians are now ready to splurge on travel, lodging, and vacation. A recent study revealed that Traveloka was the go-to online travel agency among Indonesian travelers as of December 2022. Meanwhile, Tiket.com came in second as the most preferred online travel agency. The availability of promotional offers and discounts was the top reason for using online travel agencies among Indonesian consumers in 2022. Some other reasons in favor of online travel agencies include the ease of use of the apps or website page and the lower prices offered. [Source]
