# City Pricing Research - Wave 21 (2026-08-14)

## Medan, Indonesia - one source away

- HikersBay updated July 29, 2026 and provides current solo lodging and a seven-day budget context, but its low lodging number is a hostel.
- Tripbase describes a basic private room around USD 12, food around USD 6, transport around USD 4, and a higher comfort day around USD 50. It is useful context but needs a stronger independent private-hotel source before publication.
- **Status: one source away.**

## Senggigi, Indonesia - beta candidate

- Lomboq's 2026 Senggigi guide gives component-level daily ranges: private guesthouse room IDR 150,000-250,000 plus meals and local transport for a low private-room pattern; and IDR 600,000-1.2M for a mid-range boutique-hotel, restaurant, activities, and transport day.
- Its route guide gives a current shared shuttle / private-driver pricing context, which is useful because Lombok transport can drive a solo cost upward.
- Solo Guides gives a separate Lombok-wide 2026 budget check.
- **Status: beta candidate.** Keep Gili/trek/private-driver days as optional trip additions, not every-day defaults.

## Sanur, Indonesia - research in progress

- Current Bali-wide solo sources provide useful context, and current traveler discussion suggests Sanur can be comparatively walkable and less expensive than some Bali zones.
- The search did not return a dependable, city-specific, component-level private-room range for Sanur.
- **Status: research in progress. No Sanur-specific price should be published yet.**

## Seminyak, Indonesia - one source away

- Where2Nxt has an updated 2026 Seminyak guide with current tier descriptions but insufficient component amounts in the returned material.
- A current Bali solo guide gives a private-bathroom, meals, transport, and activities package equivalent to roughly IDR 1.1M daily, but it is Bali-wide rather than Seminyak-specific.
- **Status: one source away.** Use an explicit Seminyak premium only after a second city-specific private lodging/food source is obtained.
