All
hotels, and many outside restaurants, automatically add a 10% service charge to
your bill. However if the restaurant staff give you good service,
adding a further 5% will be appreciated, but it is not mandatory.
If no service charge is added, a 10% tip is sufficient.
Porters should be tipped IDR5,000 per bag (or US$1 if you don't have
local currency on you at the time), and you should "round up" and
add IDR1,000 when paying a
taxi driver.
It's unnecessary to tip housekeeping staff at your hotel, unless you
ask them to bring you extra towels or similar, in which case you
should tip them IDR5,000 (or US$1).
