Where to stay in Bali Province
Bali Province hotels & accommodations
Best hotel in Bali. I felt really special and welcomed by staff. Staff welcomed us with flower garland while entering the hotel. Staff were really friendly, helpful and always smiling. I booked this hotel because both rimba and ayana have beautiful pools , restaurants and priority access to rock bar. Being the guest of Rimba we were given the best seat at rock bar. I w...

Me and my friend booked for 2 nights in Astagina and another 1 night on our last day in Bali. Staffs were very hospitable especially the ones in the conceirge - Krisna, Sinta, and Bayu - they were very attentive to our requests and helped us in everyway possible to make our vacation wonderful. Upon check-in, we already informed them that we will be having our tour the ...

Tijili is such a gem of a hotel. From our rose petals n swans anniversary formation on the bed to the wonderful staff,it’s been amazing ! The location is perfect . On a quiet street in Seminyak . 5mins to the beach and rows of eateries . The artsy decor is beautifully instagrammable. I had the most delicious omelette at breakfast . The 1 for 1 mojitos at cocktail hour ...
From the moment you enter is amazing. You are treated like a VIP. Amazing view literally in the middle of the jungle. And the breakfast it was amazing. I changed many hotels in bali and this one had the most amazing breakfast. Everything you want. Perfect service. The dinner delicious but a bit expensive comparing to Ubud prices. But delicious. The only thing is that ...
We have stayed in couple of hotels in Bali and really did some research, the Inaya is far the best hotel in nusa dua in terms of money value, great clean beach, service is not to mention excellent, room with pool is highly recommended and breakfast is diverse and just incredible. For example, hotel next door is st. Regis(where presidents stays ), using the same beach t...
highly recommended. staffs were helpful, breakfast was awesome, n they even provide afternoon tea. we had family rooms and kids have their own privacy. rooms ass big and spacious, my 2 boys loved it totally. cleanliness was good too. location is good, just a short walk to the main Street.
We stayed nearly a week at this beautiful resort. It is very comfortable. The rooms are spacious and the beds are great. The balconies are super to sit out and listen to the waves break in the evening or at night. The pool overlooks the beach, as in the pictures, and the beach is directly bordering the hotel. Staff is friendly and helpful. We have seen better breakfast...
I have great hilday, with warm staafs. I can swimming at pool or at the beach, all in side area hotel, with facilitas hotel we don't have to go any where to do activitas while holiday. Start day with big breakfast at hotel, at night time if we need rilex and have fun with life music at the bar hotel. After passed day and need good sleep, Inna grand Bali Beach the right...
We celebrate our anniversary in Mantra Sakala with our daughter. They upgrade us to suite room. Our room was clean & beautifully decorated. From kitchen, bedsheet, pillow cases, bath tub, shower, toilet, towels are clean. I am very picky with hotels, especially with their cleanliness. The Bed is very comfortable. They have huge pool, and my kid had lots of fun in the p...
the staff are fantastic and helpful. always smiling and willing to assist. the rooms aren't huge but the shower sure is. good little balcony also. the view from the ocean facing rooms is excellent especially if you are on the 4th floor. it is also really great to have free wifi that works well. breakfast is probably the best i have had at any hotel in bali, and i...
we hadn't been to bali for 15 years. kamandalu is the bali we remembered. to ubud centre but worth it to be away from the bustle. the rooms are so good most people stay in them, so it feels like you have the resort to yourself. the service was so good it felt like we had the entire staff to ourselves at times - especially in the restaurant where the food was excellent...
TS Suites is our last hotel to spend our night in our recent trip to Bali. Before, we have spent a night in Sofitel, a luxury hotel. However, we concluded that TS Suites is also a top hotel in Bali. Located in strategic place, TS Suites provide unusual added value service to the guest. It has a free minibar (soft drinks and bars of kit kat) which is refilled every day...

The best beach hotel in Bali with the best room design, large room and bath room. You will be amazed with the room design. Totally amazing, it comes with a coffee, cappucino machine. Higly recommended.
Beautiful hotel, amazing views. Pool area was stunning, clean and lovely staff ensuring everyone was looked after. Room was a bit stuffy on arrival but opened the door and got the breeze blowing as well as staff lighting lemongrass oil burners. The smell disappeared after a couple of hours. Food was lovely, large servings and good value. Massages were wonderful but...
We chose the Park Regis because the Deluxe Pool Suites advertised on Agoda looked like really good value. We are happy to say that overall we were delighted with our decision to stay there. It’s advertised as a 4 star hotel, but our facilities were definitely in a 5 star class with robes, slippers, 2 flat screen TVs, plunge pool, court yard, king sized bedroom, separa...
I must say congratulation to this resort management and staff ! i have book four resorts during this holiday at Bali ! this is the best resorts even the price is higher compare to others 3 resorts. we have book two rooms villas, overall is excellent ! i will definitely recommend this resort to anyone of my friends ........
The Melasti must be one of, or the best value hotel in Bali . The rooms are spacious , well set out and clean. The area is lovely, bars , spars , shops, and resteraunts right at your back door. The beach and beach bars are right at your front door, or vice versa..?? The beach and beach bars are outside the lovely hotels resteraunt. the breakfast and all food is firs...
Our stay was very good for 1 week. Hotel is very well located, walking distance to restaurant, bars and shops. Nice pool on the roof, good breakfast, nice atmosphere in the hotel. You can very easily rent a scooter (definite must in Bali with no exception - bring your international license. You can rent without it with no questions ask but beware of police, they will ...
It was our third trip to Bali. It is very convenient location for closer distance to ubud centre. It sets on the beautiful rice terrace near small creek to show panoramic scenery. All the staffs at visesa hotel are nice and friendly. We are very to happy to stayed there and recommend it to others. They haven't finished all the resort facility yet but I would like to vi...
Sadly it was my last night in Bali before heading home to Sydney on the late Jetstar flight. I hadn't booked any accomodation for the night as I had been staying in Ubud but wanted to be closer to shopping & the airport for my last day/night. I found a 2 bedroom Villa on Agoda @The JAS Villas right in the hub of Seminyak at a super cheap rate so booked it & I was gobsm...
Top of the cliffs at Uluwatu Bali. We decided to stay at Alila as my wife is 5months pregnant and thought this resort would cater to our needs fully. We were not disappointed. The villas are contemporary with views out to the ocean. Well appointed won all the mod cons and Very private. The staff are Servise orientated. Meaning hey really want to do there very best to...
There are a lot of really nice things about the W but there are some downsides too. The good: The interior design is very well considered and we appreciated the details. Rooms were excellent, the communal areas were breathtaking and very ... 'cool' (horrifically general word but I think this is what they're intending it to be). The pools were nice and the restaurants ...
Let me start with our best compliment for the staff at the royal santrian. They are amazing, we always greeted by name. The staff always make sure all of our need is accomodated. If you love privacy and personalized services then this place is for you. The complex not quite big like other resort such as mulia or hyatt they have only 22 villas and the service is very pe...

AT first glance, the hotel has a very modern chic new look, a place for urbanites with a Starbucks right at the lobby. A great feature for those accustomed to their regular Joe's even away on vacation. The lobby/reception area is spacious unlike most Bali hotels, with a few helpdesk. However, the check-in was a bit slow (couldn't find my booking) but everything was ...
On our last day in bali we booked this hotel recommended by our driver. Im not very picky with hotel but i usually book accomodation one night then move on to another if i didnt like something, or if i dont feel comfortable. But its a diff dtory with dash, I love The hotel ambiance, designs and art decor. The room is amazing it has a hippie design i love the upside dow...
Cheap places to stay in Bali Province
After my flight landed around 1.30 AM this place have 24/7 staff ready to serve you, I'm so Impressed. The best value for money, because you will stay in Clean Bed, Clean Toilet, but the bed little bit noisy (even your little movement make a noise), and when you're ready to checkout the staff tell you favourite place to visit when you came to bali. This hostel has a ...
I like this place, it's very cheap and good for everything. I stayed in many hotels in Bali , those are expensive and not worth to stay. As we are in a budget trip so we need to concern more about money and everything in our trip. This place is very good, good stuffs and good breakfast. I'm so happy staying here. Next time if I come back to Bali, I will definitely stay...
everything about my staying was perfect. The room is so good, due the bunkers are separated from each other by a wood wall, that you can close, as the pics show. you sleep with your head near the wall, what I think cooperates for quietness over night - the dorm is very quiet, I slept very well in this hostel. you can use the kitchen to cook, the freezer to storage your...
There's one dorm of 12 beds, very well seperated with curtains which is great for privacy. But there's only one bathroom for all those people and sometimes the shower didn't even work for our stay. The AC also partially works, be sure to sleep near the AC because otherwise it's very hot during night. It's well located but in front if the busiest street of Ubud so it 's...
It's really worth my money staying 3 nights here. Location is quite far from the centre of (Ubud Market), but I enjoy the morning walk which took about 20-30 minutes. Night time night be the tricky part, try to reach back to the hotel before dark or just bring along a torch light with you. Will consider to come back and stay here again.
I stayed for an entire week and I stayed in many hostels befire. In comparison that’s one of the best in value you get for your money. Easygoing very friendly and helpful stuff. Kitchen can be used. We cooked together. Sharing and caring. The guys do their best to keep all clean. Communication top. Everything else for me too. Recommended for male and female. Very safe ...
I was really surpised by the excellent level of English of the stuff and by the services they provide. They cook breakfast on the fire, they gave me a supper when I came to the hostel very late. The administrator described me how to get the best places of Tegalalang and adviced me to take a tour to the northern at of Bali to see the dolphins in the ocean. I'm absolutel...
1. VERY CLEAN TOILETS AND BEDS 2.BEST LOCATION CLOSE TO ALMOST EVERYTHING 3.VALUE FOR MONEY 40K ONLY WITH BREAKFAST PANCAKE 4.FRIENDLY STAFF WITH RESTAURENT AND BAR 5.5 STAR SERVICE
The location of the hostel is great,it's just with 2 minutes' walking to the city center-Ubud Market,a few of minutes' walking to others such as nice pub,western restaurant and monkey forest.They also have some tourist information about hiking,one day package tour...Anyway,it's a cheap place to stay in Ubed,but so sweet accommodation.
my stay was amazing! from the beginning till the end, the lovely and gorgeous staff made me feel like home. It was like living with a small family. They were always smiling, helpful and extremely kind! the basic room was perfect for us: it was a really good price, close to the beach and in a nice and quiet area. This Guesthouse has a restaurant and a small shop for wat...
the room was so huge! if want to have the best morning views of Ubud, book this hostel! the top balcony has nice view of Ubud since this is the tallest homestay that I know. It is also close to Puri Agung and Puri Dalem. The offer taxi service and it is the best priced taxi service you can get. cheaper than anyone in Ubud. The staff and the owners are also very accommo...
Worst bed ever: painful mattress (hard springs all around) and bed bugs. The aftermath of the night: no sleep at all + more than 30 bites in my skin + 3 corpses of death bedbugs.
honestly this is the best hostel i've ever stayed at. they have privacy curtains on each bed, the receptionist was really NICE, everyone talks to everyone. a very sociable hostel. free coffee and tea for everyone, hot water, wifi, charging station and reading light on each bed. its also very beautiful bc it has traditional Balinese architecture characteristic (from ma...
It was kind of a rush of me to book at this place, i found few other options but I decided to stay here because it was the cheapest. however, it is cheap priced that comes with the best. I stayed in the dormitory room, it was quite spacy, and it only has 8 beds so not too packed even tho it was full at the last two days of my stay. It was worth it as you don't spend ti...
We LOVED staying here and would absolutely stay here again. This homestay was the lowest price with the best amenities of all the places we stayed throughout Bali. After booking, we messaged the host and asked to have one of the private bedrooms with a private bathroom and that's what we were given. We were on the second floor with a private balcony as well. The bedroo...
Loves to stay in this hostel. Quiet environment, with cheap place/warung to buy food and groceries. They provide scooter for rent, it really helps me to go anywhere. Free towel, blanket to use, also 'all you can drink' free mineral water, coffee and tea during your stay. Beautiful garden for relax and yoga. So recommended!
first, from the airport go to the hostel, let's take grab or Uber. about 150.000rupi. out the main airport's door, turn left and just walk 3mi to take grab. taxi driver asked 250.000-400.000. the best is call for hostel before, ask Shutter bus, just 60.000rupi/person. if u come at evening. stay at Kuta Bali is better. need about 1-2h hours to go to Ubud from the airpo...
Pros: swimming pool, really great and friendly staff, hot showers, peaceful surrounds, free breakfast (best are the omelettes, but the jaffles are too simple in my opinion), clean rooms, and decent hangout spots. Negatives would only be the location, but for people who feel confident enough renting a scooter, it's probably not an issue. Also, they can shuttle you into...
The place was clean all the time, the rooms were really great so was the breakfast. However they don’t have hot water
I staid in the dormitory and i really enjoyed my stay in this hotel. it s for sure due to the very friendly and helpfull staff. The terrasse attached at the dormitory is very nice and with your room mates, you would probably chill out there for longer that you expected. The other good point of this place is the bar/restaurant downstair. It s not a proper restaurant but...
We were completely mislead by Agoda, we booked the villa as it was advertised as private, however when we got there, there was 4 other young backpackers sitting on the sofas, one of them walking around in their underwear!! The room was okay, we were put on the top floor, where the room type said pool view... and there was no toilet roll or towels in the room. The only ...
This place is underrated. The rooms rae limited but offers a clean wide bed in their dorms as well as sufficient bathroom supplies. My favorite part which i think ia unique in this hostel is their rooftop patio that is a perfect place to watch the sunset over Bali. It is near really good restaurants and a soccer field where you can watch children play in the afternoon....
It was unplanned trip to there, but most amazingly, the boss of Palma Bed suggested some fantastic journey for me...... Definitely will book this hostel again when i travel in Bali again.
The kitchen is not clean and its far from city center
Absolutely love spending time at Lagas Hostel, in my opinion it is the best place to stay. We used it as a base while traveling around Bali, loved spending time with the family and staff that run the hostel. I highly recommend this place to anyone travelling to Bali, Putu is a fantastic guide who showed us all of the places we wanted to see and became a really great f...
I Really Love the Location of This Hostel and The Amenities Provided By This Hostel are Really Really Good.From My Side 5 Star For This Kind of Services.
I was surprised I didn't find this place back in January when I stayed around for a month. It is a really awesome space, good vibes and LOVELY staff. The capsule beds are your hostel comfy bed coming true. *just perfect* I stayed for a few nights only but felt just like at a home, unbeatable spot to plan either short or long term stay in Bali. I really enjoyed that it...
I have stayed several times at Gong Corner, as my base for visiting Bali. The staff are very friendly, and have always done whatever might be needed to assist during my stay. The food is consistently GOOD, with coffee, tee, and fresh juice available each morning with the free breakfast -- 3 choices given, w good-sized portions. The prices for dinner items is quite re...

The 101 Bali Legian Hotel is one of the best hotels i have stayed in Bali. Firstly, we paid only $75 a night incl breakfast. Secondly, the local of this hotel is awesome. its close to many cheap and nice restaurant (Warung Mine is the best and its just opposite this hotel). 3rd-ly, starbuck is just under the hotel and we enjoyed the coffee at starbucks :). The room is ...

perfect retreat directly the calm sanur beach. we booked a club room and have been more than impressed. phantastic club pool area with fountains in a blooming garden. complimentary breakfast and after noon tea as well as discounted spa threads within the rate. very nice beachside with huge deckchairs and a very good restaurant, so no complains just satisfaction in ...
I have stayed at many hotels in Bali, but i found The Bene to be probably the best i have stayed at so far. It is close to the heart of everything and also close to the beach. It is hidden away at the end of a laneway which makes this place nice and peaceful. The pool closes at 9pm which is good as it can get noisy if open later than this. The staff are friendly ad it ...
we arrived just after midnight and often you may find some hotels with no one around but at amadea we were greeted and taken down in the buggy to the reception area as soon as we arrived with a very warm welcome. for this night we had a deluxe pool terrace room which was extremely well kept and clean (although you would hope so for a brand new hotel). the facilities ar...
I had been to Bali last month and stayed in Hotel Sun Island for 7 days. I must say this hotel is a great place to stay in Bali. Hotel is centrally located in Kuta and well connected with airport. One can enjoy roaming in Bali downtown in the evening with all good restaurants, malls, cinemas, markets, pubs around this hotel. Staff of the hotel is kind and very helping....
i would like to say this villa is an amazing villa that you could ever have in bali. it has great facilities, super polite and helpful staff, massage was great, food for breakfast was ok, house keeping keep our room neat and tide, and also the pool. i ensure to have another visit here whenever i go to bali. thanks for make our honeymoon to be amazing.
Seminyak is definitely the place to stay in Bali to avoid the noise and crazy atmosphere. If you have limited budget and still want to enjoy luxury, Golden Tulip Hotel is the best choice ! All the staff are so helpful and always give you a friendly smile. We ventured to this hotel on "off season" and could fully enjoy all the facilties almost to our own, with the exc...
This is one of the best hotel/villa I have stay in my 10 years travelling. The design of the villa represent the unique of Balinese culture. I book a villa with private pool and the room is spacious and authentic design. The hygiene is perfect and need to praise to the villa staff too, as very friendly, polite and helpful which represent the beauty of Balinese. I enjoy...
Although there were some negative reviews mentioning that this hotel was new (not all services were available)and close to a nosiy neighbourhood, I decided stay at this place anyway. No regrets. My three nights there was enjoyable. The staff were attentive, nice and friendly (and yes, they were friendly to Indonesians too, something which is a rare case in Bali hotels...

The service we received from the minute we arrived was exceptional. The gardens, the view and the room were above and beyond what I was expecting. I spent 4 nights at Batu Karang for my honeymoon.

Positives : Huge and clean private pool Full privacy Huge bath tub Walking distance from the beach Negatives : Breakfast is a huge letdown ... Other cheaper hotels in bali served much better breakfast Showerhead needs cleaning Microwave shown in the pics was not available in the room

I would love to stay here again when I go back to Bali. The service is like a 5-star hotel. I commend the lady receptionist named Dewi for helping me out book my tour in Nusa Dua and Uluwatu and for her good advice. They know what the customer wants. The only downside is the busy and narrow street facing the hotel. However, it was very quiet inside the hotel premises ...
We are newly couple and spent a week in Bali. H Sovereign Bali Hotel was our last accommodation before going home.

I have stayed in this hotel more than 5 times. In general, the staff are attentive, friendly and warm. For example; I was greeted by name before checking in. Everything runs with a system. Not much waiting required. I have stayed in 7 different 4* hotels in Bali and this is by far one of the best value for money and comfortable one. Located in a quieter spot in sem...
I stayed in Lagoon room with pool access for 4 days. It was a good choice. The room was spacious and equipped with everything we needed. The room was cleaned everyday by a room attendant, which was good. Nasi goreng as A la carte breakfast menu was so tasty. It was one of best Nasi goreng that I had during my trip in Bali. The breakfast buffet was average. I must s...
When we arrived at the Harris, we were greeted by "Nico" who made our check in a breeze. He was very freindly and gave us a fantastic first impression of the hotel.

The wifi at the hotel is fab, you only have to log in ...
I was here on a solo trip after I visited a factory in Jakarta. I had to take the extra trip to experience Bali as one of those bucket list kind of trips! Puri Gangga didn’t disappoint.

Best Time to Enjoy Bali's Splendor
Timing your visit to Bali can significantly enhance your experience. The island enjoys a tropical climate, with two distinct seasons: the dry season from April to October and the wet season from November to March. The dry season is generally considered the best time to visit, as it offers sunny days and pleasant temperatures, perfect for beach activities and outdoor adventures.
However, if you’re keen on experiencing Bali's vibrant local culture, consider visiting during the wet season. This period sees fewer tourists, allowing for a more authentic experience of the island's traditions and festivities. Local events, such as the renowned Nyepi Day (Day of Silence), showcase the island’s unique customs and are worth experiencing if your travel dates align.
Ultimately, the best time to visit Bali depends on your interests. If you’re looking to bask in the sun and enjoy water sports, the dry season is ideal. Conversely, if you want to immerse yourself in local culture and enjoy a quieter atmosphere, the wet season might be your best bet. Whichever time you choose, Bali's splendor awaits!
Travel Tips for a Seamless Bali Adventure
Before embarking on your Bali adventure, it’s essential to familiarize yourself with local customs and etiquette to ensure a smooth journey. Balinese culture is deeply rooted in respect and tradition, so being mindful of local practices will enhance your experience. For example, when visiting temples, dress modestly and observe the rules regarding photography and behavior. Offering a small donation at temples is also a common practice and appreciated by the locals.
Another tip for travelers is to stay hydrated and protect yourself from the sun, especially during outdoor activities. The tropical climate can be quite warm, so sunscreen, hats, and plenty of water are your best friends. Additionally, be prepared for the occasional rain shower if visiting during the wet season, and pack accordingly.
Lastly, familiarize yourself with local transportation options. While taxis are available, consider renting a scooter for a more adventurous way to explore the island. This allows for greater flexibility and the chance to discover hidden gems off the beaten path. With these tips in mind, you’re all set for an unforgettable Bali adventure!
