Trip report: Indonesia, late February 2026, 2 weeks. Overall rating: 6/10.
Spent most of my time in the undefined area. Prices were reasonable. The scene has gotten busier compared to my last visit.
Accommodation: Found a good hotel for $45/night within walking distance of the action. Clean, AC, wifi — all you need.
The girls were varied in quality. Not as many as I expected.
Food was surprisingly good. Found some great local spots.
Overall: Solid destination, highly recommend for first-timers.
Happy to answer any questions.

I was there in January and can add some detail:
Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $100/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. Quality was varied.
My favorite spot was the freelancer area near the hotels.
One tip: Avoid weekends if you want better prices.

Good info. I'd add that the morning is the best time to go.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from last month:
Things are much the same as always since my last visit in 2023.
Biggest change: Some of the old spots have closed.
Still a great destination. 8/10 from me.

I was there in February and can add some detail:
Prices: Good value overall. I spent about $80/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mostly locals. Quality was good.
My favorite spot was the freelancer area near the hotels.
One tip: Go early in the evening for first pick.

What was your total spend for the trip, roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to download an offline map.

I had a bad experience there last year. Maybe I went at the wrong time?

Spot on with the prices. That's exactly what I paid when I visited in February.
