Procedue of my Kaha booking

During weekdays (Mon-Thu) you can just go straight. 90% time will have room but on the safe side,better to email Formosa Hotel main website to reserve a room 1st.Reason is sometime there might be sudden major events or public holidays in Batam that will not be known in Sillypore.

On a weekend (Fri-Sun),better if you could :

1. Email Formosa Hotel on the date you are coming and the type of room you want with you name about a 3 to 4 days in advance and your length of stay.

2. Upon their reply,note down the person who reserve the room for you. It is usually the receptionist who will reply you.

3. On that day of your arrival,head to Kaha at opposite Harmoni Hotel,the one with Batam's only Mcdonald restaurant as their neighbour. (not Harmoni One or Harmoni Suite hotel)

4. Walk in to Kaha travel and tells the counter staffs that you want to book a room from Formosa and that you already reserved a room there by Mr/Miss (the name who replied your email) for <your name>.

5. Pay up using cash to them and you will be issue a hotel voucher. You can pay by credit card too but there will be surcharge.

6. You can now proceed to Formosa Hotel,hand the voucher and your passport to the hotel receptionist and you will be ready to check in.

7. They will safe-keep your passport for you until you check out on your last day .

Always check and compare price with online hotel booking versus Kaha becos Kaha is not always cheaper. They can be more expensive during off peak season as online booking will price themselves cheaper during low season. It takes no more than 15 mins to check booking.com and agoda for hotel pricing. Booking.com are tax inclusive whereas agoda isnt. So you will need to add a +10% and + 11% for agoda pricing.

Hope that helps answer your question/s.

Your likely next question,what if you wish to book other hotels instead of Formosa?

My answer,you will have to find out yourself when your 1st/2nd visit to Kaha to book a room for Formosa hotel. The reason i am not answering is everyone uses a different method and there are others who got piss off trying to find out. Their website dont show the price of hotels and prices do change at an average rate of once per year w/o prior notice.

My method,i check with the counter staffs at Kaha Travel when i am in Batam. But i dont always get the right answers and the staffs can get really piss off if i ask too much questions too.

Clue : Customer is not always right in Batam and avoid bringing that mentality there.

The thirll of not expecting what you may get is really exciting. I guess the best part is before all of the actions begins, The waiting part is very thrilling!
When i go Batam,i dont expect HDLY 海底捞月 or 蚂蚁上树 (ants crawl over my body) type of special services as what i have in China. I dont expect Nuru massage as what i have in Japan nor the type of soapy massage as whats often seen in Thailand. Not forgetting there is also the famous "No Hand service" in Vietnam,hehehe.. Forget all those when in Batam.

But what i got from my booking girl with me so far is a hold-my-dick and hug me to bed after our bonking session. When i am suppose to meet my friends at lobby at 9am,some of my girl/s will wake me up with a bbbj in between 815am-830am like an alarm clock,hehehe...(that usually ends up with me being late for my appointment...lol) Tcss with my girl after our session and watching TV...sometime will kena another leisure bbbj (after session) before i doze off to sleep.

That mainly applies for girls with OWE taught to me 1st by uncle fishingman a long long time ago,hehehe...

Have low expectation in Batam and be surprised later. Good or bad time,luck and attitude on how one handles the situation plays an important role. I think any country also the same.
