TrainsHow much is the tourist tax in Malaysian hotels?

The tourist tax in Malaysian hotels (Cukai Pelancongan) ranges from 1 to 10 Malaysian ringgit (RM) per room per night. Sometimes the amount can be higher—this depends on the specific state and resort. For example, rates may vary in Johor and Penang.
An important nuance: this tax is most often not included in the booking price you see online. You will need to pay it in cash (ringgit) at the reception upon check-in. Only in rare cases do hotels include it in the final price in advance.
Life hack: Always carefully read the booking conditions. If your voucher states that the tax is paid, but you are asked to pay it on-site—pay, but be sure to get an official receipt. Then contact the booking service's support (e.g., Trip.com) with it, and they will reimburse you for this money.
To avoid surprises, when planning your accommodation budget, allocate an additional 10-50 ringgit (depending on the length of stay) for this mandatory fee.
