A 3-star hotel with a 4.4 rating often beats a 4-star with a 3.8. We rank by guest score, not just stars. A higher-rated lower-star property is usually the smarter pick.
The most affordable options are Gorontalo inn Hotel, Permata home stay, Rumah Pojok. However, we rank by guest rating first — a slightly higher price for a much higher-rated property is usually better value overall.
