The 6 Accommodation Types in Bali
1. Resort Hotels

Resort hotels might be the type of accommodation you’re most familiar with. It’s likely to offer the same services and experience universally.
It’s a luxury facility intended for people who go on vacations, usually located near tourism hotspots. Aside from a room to rest in, a resort hotel also offers other luxury recreation services such as pools, spas, and even golf courses.
This accommodation is suitable for travelers looking for maximum comfort and convenience. You’ll be able to access all the scenic destinations in Bali within a short walking distance, and be spoiled by all the services offered.
If that’s what you’re looking for, then resort hotels will make your stay the vacation of a lifetime.
2. Homestays
In a homestay, the host turns a part of their home into guest accommodation. It can still be in the family home or in an entirely separate quarter around the area.
If you’re looking for a unique and authentic experience, then you can definitely consider homestays. This way, it’ll be easier to learn Balinese culture through the family you’re staying with.
Though not every host is welcoming, some would go out of their way to ensure that you have the best experience in Bali. That includes arranging tours, providing hearty breakfasts, and even renting you transportation services.
3. Guesthouses
A guesthouse is a small hotel owned by the locals. It usually includes a private room with a balcony, a communal kitchen, outdoor area, and most even include pools.
With staff available 24/7, guesthouses usually offer services to help you arrange tours, rent out transportation, and guidance on everything you want to know about Bali. Due to its comfy nature, you can find both long-term guests and short-term guests in guesthouses.
If you’re looking to make new friends with different experiences, then a guesthouse is the perfect accommodation choice for you. Learn about other people’s experiences in Bali, and you might even find a hidden gem to visit!

Offering more personal space, this type of accommodation is usually popular among couples, friend groups, or families.
Villas typically come with a beautiful landscape, unique decor ranging from traditional Balinese interiors to western designs, and a swimming pool.
If you value privacy and want accommodation all to yourself (and your loved ones), then this accommodation type is the right one for you.
5. Hostels
If you’re traveling alone and are tight on the budget, then hostels are the type of accommodation you’re looking for.
A hostel usually includes shared dorm-style rooms, although some do offer private rooms. But the highlight of hostels is the communal spaces – from the common area to the shared kitchen. It’s where you can meet and make new friends on your travels, making your trip much more meaningful and memorable for years to come.
6. Glamping
This up-and-coming accommodation type has been all the rage in Bali as of late.
Simply put, glamping is all about being one with nature. But instead of regular camping with all its hassles, glamping offers a comfy and luxurious way of enjoying nature. No longer do you have to go through so much trouble in setting up a tent.
Glamping sites usually come with a room, running water, and most importantly, the best view you can possibly think of. This accommodation type fits you if you’re really looking to bask in and connect with the beauty of Bali’s wonderful environment.
