Some quoted 10jt.

I don't usually do overnight or long time so I don't really know the rates.
But most of them are quite legit and u'll need to find those with COD ( cash on delivery )
On twitter, its a bit more inflated, 60-70 for 1/2hours. But I guess you can find which you like more.

For Michat, usually it rates anywhere from 30-70. 30 is usually ugly and super new and the 50-70s are the SYTs. Usually try to ask for real photo which they will delete once shown.

My friend tried Twitter while i tried michat. Both worked for us but my meat your poison. Atleast half price of Dome 1 happy liao.

Goodluck!

Not sure is it reliable, some ask for downpayment first.

I saw someone shared about the hashtag as well, and try browsing through both twitter and instagram. I'd say plenty of scammer from there, but plenty of legit one as well, and plenty of OKT disguise as the FL.

But honestly speaking, why would you want to engage them through these channel though? Not to mention the price is way higher than the normal channel. I mean, getting a girl at batam is as easy as getting a bak chor mee in SG.

I mean if you are willing to splash so much, can always visit the higher end KTV, you can choose them by looking at them f2f, rather than getting a surprise when engaging online one.

DO NOT ENGAGE THOSE SERVICE FROM TWITTER, They are fking scammer . I just got scam 2.2million rupiah, at the first told me to down payment 400k rupiah then afterwards ask me transfer 1.5 million rupiah for some kind of security bond which I was told I could get it back then afterwards they ask me to transfer another 800k to register Membership card LOL the picture they send me is a fking Starbucks card. I learn my lesson already not to engage those on twitter is just fking expensive and majority are all scammer. Just go Spa or Sintai to get sexual service. Those who request you for down payment is a fking scammer just that note the moment you transfer they will keep asking you to transfer more for other stuff

Should have told them no deal when they ask for transfer before the deed.

Aiyo bro why so gullible. smh

But I not going to laugh at you lar, just be more vigilant next time, not just in batam, and not just when engaging FL service, any other service also don't transfer money in advance, everything also opt for COD.

Oh, wait there's 1 more called Justme, hehehe...

a) Too expensive type, i cut off from my list.
b) Highly-priced package deal type, i cut off from my list.
c) No pretty-enough girls in it, i cut off from my list.

Therefore, it isn't very difficult to find what eventually suits me best in that area.

I just came back from Batam for a 3 days 2 night trip last night

I started to chiong batam almost about 10 over years ago, however most of the time I would stay in hotel near Nagoya hill mall area or DC mall area. This is the very first time I visited Batam City Square Mall area and stay at Batam City Hotel.

For the past 10 over years, I was too comfortable with formosa hotel back then that makes me would not even want to try exploring BCS area, as formosa hotel provide a one stop service for almost everything from food, KTV, booking cewek after midnight at alisan, in house massage as well as the good service provided to its customers. Its location is also at the city centre of batam and near to many booking joints in the past like queen 8933, dynasty, berlian, sekar, happy 8, permata indah at windsor, etc and also nearby to many massage joints

However, during February 2020 when Formosa hotel announced closure, i know I would have to find a substitute regular hotel to act as a base for my future trips.

DC Mall Area
Previously, I have considered Utama Hotel as a regular hotel if I intend to chiong at DC mall area.

The reasons for considering Utama hotel are that it was similiar to Formosa hotel in some ways like the old carpet in the room, the in-house massages at level 2, the room price range and most importantly it is the only 3 star hotel in the DC mall area vicinity before Biz hotel was built.

Hotel Romance, Hotel Pagoda and Golden Gate are all 1 or 2 star which is not my choice of a 3 star hotel.

However Hotel Utama has an added advantage over Formosa was that it was surrounded by more than 30 massage joints and spa as the area is known to be the "city of massage" in the whole of Batam as most massage joints are all concentrated at the shophouse area.

Now that Utama Hotel is temporarily closed (maybe due for a refurbishment?), the next alternative will be the 3 star Biz Hotel.

BCS Mall Area
As for BCS area, one of the best choice is none other than Batam City Hotel which will be my regular hotel since it really resemble Formosa hotel in many ways like:

1) In house massage venew spa at level 6 (Formosa - king massage)

2) BCH KTV at level 3 (Formosa - Alisan KTV)

3) Room with carpet & essential room amenities provided. (Formosa -Deluxe Room)

4) Moderate Breakfast for a 3 star standard (similiar to Formosa)

5) Good location near to almost everything supper, malls, massage joints

6) Deluxe room at very reasonable price 30 bucks per night include breakfast

The only thing lacking is the hospitality like what Formosa provided for its customers..

As this is my first time visiting BCS mall area, I felt that the locations of the buildings there are more concentrated in a way that places of food, massage, shopping, hotels are closer to each other in distance compared to Nagoya Hill areas.

For example, I stayed in Batam City Hotel and if I want to go to BCS mall, just walk through the small lane at the right side about 100m and if I wanted to buy supper, A2 Foodcourt is a stone throw away at less than 100m.

Massage shops like Tui Na, Naya Massage, Absolute Massage, Favourite Massage are all less than 50 metre from the hotel.

Alternatively, Gideon Hotel is another suitable choice for a 3 star hotel in case BCH is fully booked.


To be continued..

Sad to hear about your harrowing experience. As mentioned by others here, one of the golden rules to follow while chionging is to never give a deposit/money to anyone or any online source (esp with no credible reviews or track record) before the deed. Similar to those courier sms scam whereby scammer asks you to pay a fee to release your parcel but you are not expecting any courier shipment at all. Oh well, treat this as a lesson learnt.
