Premium	USD 54
Luxury	USD 131

When travelers from the United States book

Klook booking data shows the lowest typical rate is in February at around USD 7, while the priciest typical rate is in October at around USD 54; February suits a budget-led trip. Travelers typically lock a room about four days ahead, and the earliest planners book around twelve days ahead, so plans can remain flexible but booking earlier is more important for October's higher rates.
