What does a hotel videographer in Jakarta do?
A hotel videographer in Jakarta plans, films, and edits videos that show a hotel's rooms, facilities, dining, and atmosphere to future guests.
Giovanni Berriel, a Jakarta-based hotel videographer, handles the full job himself. He plans the shoot around the property's best spaces and light, films on location, then edits and color grades the footage into finished videos for each platform. Because the same person shoots and edits, the story planned for the hotel carries through to the final cut.
What kinds of hotel videos does Giovanni Berriel create?
Giovanni Berriel creates hotel videos for every stage of the guest journey, from first discovery on social media to the booking page.
- Hotel promotional videos: a cinematic overview of the property for websites and YouTube.
- Room and suite videos: short tours that show layout, views, and details.
- Dining and restaurant videos: food, bars, and breakfast experiences.
- Facility videos: pools, spas, gyms, and meeting spaces.
- Staycation and experience videos: stories that show how a stay feels, made for Instagram Reels and TikTok.
- Resort videos: destination-led films that connect the property to its surroundings.
What goes into each of these is covered in what to include in a hotel promotional video.
Which hotels has Giovanni Berriel filmed in Jakarta?
Giovanni Berriel has filmed for InterContinental Jakarta, The Langham Jakarta, and Novotel Tangerang.
These projects sit alongside travel work for Traveloka Indonesia, which makes Giovanni Berriel familiar with how travelers discover and choose hotels online. From experience, hotel videos work best when they show a guest's day, not a floor plan: arriving, settling into the room, eating, and relaxing.

What makes a hotel video look cinematic?
A hotel video looks cinematic when camera movement, light, color, and pacing all work together to make the viewer feel present in the space.
Giovanni Berriel's hotel videos rely on smooth handheld motion, which moves through a lobby or suite the way a guest would. He grades toward natural colors, so rooms, food, and pools look on screen the way they look in person, which protects guest trust after booking. Strong timing ties the shots together, even in a 15-second reel.
Clients have noticed the difference. A former KOL Specialist at Traveloka Indonesia said: "Bening banget visualnya, Mas Gio. Kameranya nggak main-main. Color grading-nya juara!" (English translation: "The visuals are so crisp, Mas Gio. The camera work is no joke. The color grading is top-notch!")
How much does it cost to hire a hotel videographer in Jakarta?
The cost of hiring a hotel videographer in Jakarta depends on the number of shoot days, the number of videos, and the platforms they are made for.
A single social media reel is a much smaller job than a full hotel film with room, dining, and facility cuts. Typical market ranges in IDR are explained in the hotel video cost guide for Indonesia. Contact Gio for an exact quote.
