JOHOR BAHRU (JB), MALAYSIA
How can we forget this? Although this isn't what the title promised, I promise you that the hotels or Airbnb there is worth the experience and affordable as well!
I personally have not stayed overnight at JB in a hotel or Airbnb but I have friends who did so and really enjoyed themselves. Would love to try so one day and sing karaoke the whole night too.
