Rates are lowest in December, typically around USD 72, and highest in May, typically around USD 155; December suits a budget-led trip based on Klook booking data. Travellers usually lock in a room about 12 days ahead, and the earliest planners book around 16 days ahead, so booking in advance is common and even more so for stays in the priciest month.
