Batam mostly is a safe city. Most people come here to work. So you can expect most people busy with their work and business. In this city its pretty safe and have a low crime rate. Othen than being a industrial city, it have many attractions and entertainment spots as well
Posted: July 24, 2025I Think it is very safe. The only dangerous thing could be the dogs at night. The people are very Friendly and do no Harm. I feel safe Here. Only advice I have is Watch out at night for the dogs on the Street. The most of them are just Nice only bark. But there are sometimes ‘crazy’ dogs.
Posted: July 24, 2025I it just depends on the location really. Every place have a different set of story and I can't rate all of them on the same equal level. But, as a woman I do feel unsafe when I'm alone in public places(except places like shopping malls etc)
Posted: July 4, 2025Moderately safe especially if you're in a busy area, but cat call and verbal harassment can happen a lot for women walking on the street. When it's night and the street is still busy it's relatively safe. But when it turn into midnight and the street is quiet be careful! I wouldn't recommend walking alone in this situation.
Posted: June 23, 2025It is really safe for girls as long as the areas have some people there. I'm not so sure about hidden alleys or dark places where there's no civilians living. Overall it is a safe city in the inner city and housing areas. I can't guarantee the forest without guides at night tho.

avoid quiet streets or men gathered together with some noisy motorcycle (they're not dangerous but just in case). be careful in terminals and stations especially in terminals prone to pickpocketing. be safe guys

I stayed all over the island of Bali and I was most comfortable in the Kuta area. There are pockets of more touristy places as well as a good community of expats. The locals are all very nice, just be on the lookout for all the chaos on the roads with the numerous scooters.

It was interesting.There are some places where you would feel a little bit insecure ,but people there are very kind. Our resort was fine.we were at Nusa Dua beach hotel and spa. We had problems with our rooms cards almost daily.My favorite restaurant out of the resort was Bebek Tebasari Resto. I would recommend to visit the monkey forest as well .
