stay

hotel

Hotels in Malaysia usually don't provide toiletries. Besides towels and shower gel, toothbrushes and toothpaste must be provided. Except for high-end five-star hotels, most of them have to pay the accommodation fee first, and also pay a deposit, which is about 25%-50% of the accommodation fee.

A world-class hotel room charges more than RM 250, while the medium-sized economy room charges from RM 65438 +000. You can get a series of accommodation places in any office of Malaysia Tourism Promotion Board.

A hotel has the most hotel facilities, but the grades are different. There are public low-grade hotels with showers and bathrooms, medium-grade hotels with air-conditioned rooms, and international high-grade hotels with swimming pools and fitness centers.

vacationland

Generally built in the seaside, plateau and jungle far away from the city. The average tourist stays here for a relatively long time. Senior resorts have restaurants, sports facilities and entertainment facilities. Tourists can stay in this resort for a few days. The resort also organizes recreational activities such as diving, diving and jungle exploration. Some resorts are composed of cabins and wooden houses with low room rates, and all kinds of sports and entertainment activities are the same as those of high-end resorts.

inn

Hostels are simple accommodation facilities for foreign tourists, mostly concentrated in cities and tourist areas with more tourists. Generally, the rooms are small, the equipment is simple, the room rate is cheap, and most of the guests are young people.

Multi-person dormitory is the cheapest one, that is, several beds are put in one room, several people live together, and the shower and toilet are shared. Some single rooms have showers and toilets, while others don't. The latter is a little cheaper.

One of the advantages of hotels is low cost, and the other is convenient communication with other tourists. Some hotels have a lot of public activity space, and visitors can watch TV or video, drink tea and play cards in the lobby. Most waiters are warm and easy-going, and tourists can learn a lot about local tourism through them.

Wooden hut

A log cabin is a log cabin built in a seaside or plateau resort, and a state-owned or state-owned office on the mountain. Generally, it is a single-family style, or a house is divided into several households, which is closer to nature than ordinary hotels. The seaside with lush coconut trees is dotted with rows of such wooden houses, and the southern customs are coming.

Hut is a very simple hut, and the room rate is very low. A hut is a little better than a hut. Bungalow, which means "villa-style bungalow with balcony" in English, is higher in grade than Chalet of senior resort. A humble hut is also called a bungalow. There is also an A-frame with the simplest structure (wooden house with pointed roof).

hotel

Most of them are opened by China people, and Chinese will be posted on billboards. Although it is also called a hostel, it will have different qualities due to the price, so it is best to look at the room before staying. There is a red light at the entrance of some hotels, which says "Fitness Center" or "Rumah-tumpagn". It's best not to go in, because it's probably a hotel with hidden spring scenery.

hotel

Hotels are divided into several grades, ranging from middle and high-end hotels with MOP 100 per night to hotels with MOP 20 ~ 30 per night, which can be said to be far from each other. In addition to beds and chairs, rooms in budget hotels usually have bathrooms. The general price of a hotel is $ 20-30 for a single room and $ 20-40 for a double room (a double bed). Most hotels converted from foreign self-help tourists' homes are group rooms, and the price is 8 ~ 10 USD per night. Besides being cheap, you can exchange information and experience with other travelers, and ask the boss about some local customs, but such hotels are rare and hard to find.

Other scenic spots or seaside family hotels are rented for only RM 5-6 per person per night. As for hotels with high unit price, such as "club med", it costs RM 100 per night.

currency conversion

The name of Malaysian currency is Malaysian ringgit (Malay: ringgit), which is also translated into ringgit, and the currency label is RM. Malaysia's currency takes sen as the smallest unit, and 100 is equal to 1 ringgit.

RM 1 equals RM 100 (sen). Coins are 1, 5, 10 (called "1"), 20 (called "2") and 50 (called "5"). The denominations of banknotes are 1 RM, RM 2, RM 5,1RM 0, RM 20, RM 50 and RM 100.

Exchange rate (201365438+1October 29th)

1 USD ≈ RM 3.07

1 euro ≈4. 14 RM

1 RMB ≈ RM 0.49

1 RM ≈2.03 yuan

Credit cards and traveler's checks: Credit cards are accepted in larger shopping malls, hotels and restaurants, but only Malaysian cash can be used in roadside stalls and tea shops. Using a dual-currency credit card will have a certain exchange rate loss, which is relatively more uneconomical than using cash.

Traveler's checks: Traveler's checks can be exchanged at banks or authorized money exchange offices all over the country, and passports must be presented when they are exchanged.

Foreign currency: foreign currency cannot be used directly in most occasions. Foreign currency can be converted into ringgit at banks or authorized exchange shops. Generally speaking, when exchanging money locally, the exchange rates at airports and bank counters are the worst, while the exchange rates at exchange shops located in streets and large department stores are better. But be careful not to change money in illegal money exchange shops to avoid being cheated.

Tip: Although banks in China cannot exchange Malaysian ringgit, it is convenient to exchange RMB locally, and the exchange rate is good. There is no need to buy foreign currencies such as US dollars in advance in China.

UnionPay in Malaysia

Consumption: Nearly 100 merchants in Malaysia can accept UnionPay cards. The major cities that accept UnionPay cards are Kuala Lumpur, Penang and Malacca. When spending in some brand stores, consumers with UnionPay cards can also enjoy different discounts and concessions. China UnionPay will directly convert Malaysian ringgit into RMB when spending by special merchants of UnionPay, and there is no currency conversion fee, which is slightly better than other types of credit cards.

Cash withdrawal: UnionPay cards can be cashed at ATMs of some banks, and ATMs that can use UnionPay cards are all labeled with UnionPay logo. The maximum withdrawal amount is RM 65,438+0,000, and the ATM bank will charge a handling fee of RM 65,438+0.2 each, and the card-issuing bank will also charge different amounts of handling fees.

China unionpay customer service hotline: 955 16

User experience: among various channels, the ranking of cost performance is as follows:

First place: directly carry RMB to exchange Malaysian currency in the street exchange shop, but only accept 100 RMB notes.

Second place: UnionPay card spending, but there are not many merchants with UnionPay logo, which is relatively limited.

Third place: UnionPay debit card ATM withdrawal, you can use UnionPay ATM with logo and Chinese interface. However, a handling fee of RM 12 will be charged for each transaction, and the issuing bank will also charge a handling fee. The maximum withdrawal amount is RM 1000.

Fourth place: Other dual-currency credit cards are more widely used than UnionPay credit cards, but there will be a little exchange rate loss during currency conversion.

Fifth place: airport and bank counter exchange. This is the least cost-effective, and it is not recommended unless absolutely necessary.
