How to choose where to stay in Bali

The single biggest decision in a Bali trip isn't which hotel — it's which area. Get the area right and almost any well-rated hotel there will suit you. A common mistake is booking one hotel for the whole trip; most people are happier splitting their nights, for example a few in Ubud and a few by the coast.

Use the area guides below to find your fit, then compare specific hotels and prices on Booking.com.
