I've been in Batam since May 6, not seeing any booking joint open. Disco at Planet Holiday has already reopen, but i did not go despite i'm staying in this hotel which cost me around $36 a night for booking on Agoda. Price do change frequently, but not much, i only book 2 nights a a time, extend for another 2 while still staying here. Swimming pool at this hotel has close for repair, so choose other hotel if you want to swim. Gym is still open. Many restaurants that i usec to go have already closed down as well, some have change boss. I also heard that Formosa Hotel is going to reopen under new management, the new owner is a Indonesian who bought the hotel from the previous Taiwanese owner. Price of everything seems getting more expensive than before 2020, one hour traditional massage cost RP150,000 ( below Star Hotel) Ride on Gojek here has also gone up. Taxi fare from Batam Center to Planet Holiday now cost RP150,000. They claim because of high fuel cost.
