Tips on Accommodations

    Bali accommodations range from bungalows that cost Rp40,000 (US$4.40/£2.45) to luxury villas serviced by a retinue of servants and priced at over US$1,000 (£550). In between are an ever-increasing number of lodging options. Atmosphere is the rule here, and those who forgo Western chain-hotel comfort to stay in a losmen (traditional homestay, a bastardization of the Dutch word logement) or find their own rustic bungalow (more or less "roughing it") often come away from Bali with fond memories of local hospitality and the tranquillity of the island. That said, Bali's resorts and fine Western hotels cost a fraction of what luxury accommodations would elsewhere, and many come to enjoy the upgrade.

    Promotional and Internet rates are available at all hotels in Bali. Paying the rack rates, or published rates (which are listed in this guide), even in high season, is almost unheard of. Especially in the off season, it pays to shop around; you can show up at the front desk of even the largest hotels and ask for the best rate.

    Almost all hotels charge a 21% government tax and service charge on top of the quoted rates. Some hotels tack on a charge in high season -- the 2 or 3 weeks around Christmas and New Year's, plus the months of July and August.
