When travellers from Singapore should book
Klook booking data shows the most affordable month is October, when rates were typically around SGD 112, and the priciest month is January, typically around SGD 347 — October suits a budget-led trip. Travellers usually lock rooms about 24 days ahead, and earlier planners book around 53 days in advance, so allow roughly that lead time to secure preferred dates in January when rates are higher. Rooms can still be found at short notice, but January is when booking earlier pays.
