When travellers from the United States book
Klook booking data shows the lowest typical rate is in December at typically around USD 22, while the highest typical rate is in February at typically around USD 215; December suits a budget-led trip. Travellers usually lock a room about 1 day ahead, and the earliest planners book around 7 days ahead, so plans can stay flexible but consider booking earlier for stays in February when rates are higher.
