A hotel video in Indonesia typically costs from a few million rupiah for a single social media reel to tens of millions of rupiah for a multi-day resort film. Giovanni Berriel, a Jakarta-based hotel videographer, prices each project by scope: shoot days, number of videos, locations, and platform versions.
Key takeaways
- Hotel video pricing in Indonesia depends on scope, not a fixed rate: shoot days, deliverables, travel, and extras all change the cost.
- Single social media reels sit at the low end of the market; full hotel films and resort campaigns sit at the high end.
- Travel outside the videographer's home city, drone footage, talent, and extra revisions add to the budget.
- Bundling several videos into one shoot usually lowers the cost per video.
- Giovanni Berriel prepares a quote for each hotel after reviewing the brief.

What affects the cost of a hotel video?
The cost of a hotel video is driven mainly by how many days it takes to film, how many finished videos are delivered, and where the property is.
- Count the shoot days. One day covers a city hotel's key spaces; large resorts often need more.
- List the deliverables. Each extra video, cut-down, or platform version adds editing time.
- Check the location. Properties outside the videographer's home city add travel and accommodation.
- Decide on talent. Models or actors playing guests add fees and planning.
- Consider aerial footage. Drone shots of a resort or coastline add equipment and permits.
- Agree on revisions. Extra revision rounds beyond the agreed number add editing time.

How can a hotel get more value from its video budget?
A hotel gets more value from its video budget by planning several videos around a single well-organized shoot.
Giovanni Berriel recommends filming a hero video, room tours, dining clips, and social reels in the same shoot. Setup and travel costs are paid once, and every piece shares the same look. It also helps to prepare the property in advance, so shoot time goes into filming rather than waiting for rooms or staff.
From experience, the reels cut from a larger hotel shoot often end up being the most-used assets on social media.
How long should a hotel video be, and does length change the price?
Length affects price less than the number of videos and shoot days, because most of the cost is in filming and editing time, not running time.
A 60-second hero video and a 15-second reel from the same shoot share most of their production cost. Recommended lengths for each platform are explained in how long a hotel or resort video should be.
