Find Hotels in Batam Island, Indonesia

Try to bargain with taxi drivers on the costs first. Decide well and plan where you need to go and the cost.

for short trip it was ok. a bit expensive staying here rather than being in jakarta or bandung which is waaaaaaayyyyy much better.

It is like Johor Bahr but cheaper. If you enjoy cheaper groceries, massage, Malay food. A short and cheap getaway.

Beware of the taxi driver. They will offered high price per trip. So it will be better to find cab with meter rather than negotiating a price.

If you are a non-smokers, we highly recommend you not to go Batam. Almost everyone there is smokers! And they smoke like hell.

Safe Island to travel to. Avoid late night as recently many young motorists have been trying to rob ladies especially of their handbags.

Nice and friendly ppl, despite not all you can trust but majority are. What more I can say is massage.

A place to really chill and relax day by day. Dont feel like going back home due to the cheap living life here.

Surprisingly dirty and backward still in the city area despite years of tourism and the subsequent number of visitors each year.

I came with my hubby who had spinal injury and he walks very slowly & needs my aid most of the time. I also brought along my 8yo & 4yo boys together with my husband's friends (3 adults including 60-70yr old lady, 2 kids- 4yo girl & 1 yo boy) for this short getaway.

If you are there for shopping, 1-2 nights will be sufficient. If you want to go for spa, then another day would do.

noting much to see .went to the indian temple , look like any other temple in singapore and malaysya .

Nice place to relax, living costs are low. If more inhabitants can communicate with English will be more attractive.

Modern facilities are available now and more hotels coming up...Can't wait for Aston Batam to be fully completed.

Sin City and will avoid going back again!! Everything is excessively expesnive!! Better to remain and spend the money in Singapore or if not, proceed to Phuket Island / Thailand

Easy access to most areas around Nagoya Shopping Mall area. You can consider walking and avoid people calling you to take "Taxi" or "Ojek"! Depends where you plan to go to.
