When hunting for budget spots in Indonesia, always keep an eye on the total bill: low-cost rooms sometimes add extra charges for breakfast, daily cleaning, or even running the air conditioning—which you'll definitely want in this tropical heat. Be sure to flip through candid guest photos so you don't end up in a stuffy, windowless room with damp air. Compare room categories and check the final price tag with all fees included before booking.
