Best Places to Stay in Indonesia
The prices of accommodation in Indonesia are very affordable. Apart from Thailand, it is probably one of the countries in Asia where you can get an entire villa (with a pool) for around $50 a night. The value for money here is pretty ridiculous!
In lesser-known areas in Java and Sumatra, expect to pay around $8 to $10 a night for a private room in a local guesthouse, good for two people. Air-conditioned rooms run from anything from $15 to $20 a night for a private room. Places like Bali are naturally a bit more expensive but finding cheap places to stay is totally doable.
Listed below are our personal recommendations on where to stay in Indonesia.

Where to Stay in Canggu
A surfers haven, Canggu is a chic, hip little town in the south of Bali. It draws in a unique crowd who’s seeking to bask on the shores, eat at the trendy restaurants, and spend sunsets at the beach clubs overlooking the ocean.
Here, there are lots of little boutiques and beachy eateries with a banging nightlife scene centered around the beach. The main vein of Canggu is Batu Bolong, but there are several streets that run perpendicular to this one with the same sorts of small shops and cafes.
While Canggu largely caters to tourists, it’s still managed to retain some of its local charm, with lush green rice paddies minutes from the most popular breakfast spots.
You’ll find lots of little guesthouses in Canggu where you can get to know the local side of things. Or, on the other hand, rent an entire villa to spread out in for your stay.
Check out these amazing places to stay in Canggu, Bali.

Wina Echo Beach Guest House
Room Type: Superior Double | Quadruple Room

Wina Echo has amazing private rooms for budget prices, with large beds, private bathrooms, and air conditioning. They’re super simple but do the trick if you’re looking for your own space. They also have a large quadruple room with four beds, if you’re traveling with friends and looking for somewhere cheap to stay.
