Officials say searches are continuing for another nine people.
Three of the confirmed victims were killed by a landslide in Sumedang. The others were killed in Garut, where floodwaters rose as high as two metres, AAP reported.
The first floor of Garut General Hospital was reportedly evacuated, with a spokesperson telling West Java newspaper Pikiran Rakyat that 252 patients were moved to the second floor.
While this time of year is usually drier in Indonesia, a combination of La Niña and warm sea waters has caused heavy rain.
