Hey everyone, I'm a 31-year-old solo traveler dealing with genuine financial concerns. I've been dreaming of visiting Bali, but I'm not sure if it's within my budget. Can anyone share their experiences and tips on whether Bali is a feasible destination for someone like me who's trying to keep costs down? Thanks in advance for your insights!

You can stay in a luxury hotel and you can stay in an inexpensive room in someone's house.
Expensive or inexpensive depends on where you live.
And where in Bali you choose to visit.

There are budget accommodations of all kinds, not just rooms in homes. I generally fall into the budget travel category & have stayed in Bali in inexpensive hotels twice & rented a small house twice. It even came with a maid/cook. The airfare will be by far your greatest expense & it should be simple after that to keep to a very reasonable budget. It’s a wonderful place to spend some time so stay as long as you possibly can.

It depends – you can find options for all budget (for example, you can cook & buy food in a local market or warungs or you can eat everyday in restaurants). There a lot of people right now, so yes that's true that it's not easy to find cheap options where to stay. But you can check local groups in Facebook or other social media + I really recommend to visit On Bali website – there are a lot of travel tips & hotel reviews, that may be helpful to you.

Hi,

Bali falls into budget, mid, and luxury destinations, and it all depending in which part of Bali you will be staying.

Kuta often gets a reputation as a budget area due to many budget hostels and hotels in the area, but there are also upscale hotels.

Seminyak and Nusa Dua are often dubbed as the luxury areas because of many five-star resorts and hotels, beach clubs, and fancy restaurants are in those areas.

Ubud is somehow in the middle, while Canggu is an area for you if you're into partying scene and digital nomads. Sanur is known as the family area because there aren't many big beach clubs or clubs in general, that's why it caters more to family with kids or elderly.

Yes, of course in my post I intended to state that there are all types. I gave two examples on opposite poles of the price spectrum.
One can stay in a luxury hotel and open can stay in a private room in someone's house.

And one can stay in myriad accommodations between those two extremes.

I have not been to Bali since the 80s when I made quite a few visits; we often stayed at bungalows on the beach (outdoor toilet) for about $5 US a night. (Just like the ones we used to go to on Koh Samui)
Do these types of places still exist? (Simple rattan walls, beds with netting; cold water mandi??). If so, what would someone have to pay nowadays, more or less??
