Hotels in Indonesia
Hotels:
Hotels, from deluxe to budget, can be found in most towns across the country, while International hotels are generally in major towns and tourist areas. High hotel taxes are charged (10% service, plus 11% government tax). Resort hotels on Bali vary from international class, luxury hotels to beach cottages. Most hotels include pools and supply leisure equipment.
Grading: All hotels are graded according to facilities.
Bed and breakfast:
Cheap guesthouses with no air conditioning and shared basic Indonesian-style bathrooms are popular with visitors for short stays. There are also beach and lakeside chalets. On Sumatra it is possible to stay in a reproduction of a traditional Batak house with its distinctive high, pointed roof.
Camping:
Very few official campsites exist so be prepared to bring your own tent and get permission to camp in a village, or on a farmer's land for a small fee. National parks vary as to whether or not they allow camping.
Other accommodation:
Families sometimes rent out spare rooms. In the villages, this may be in traditional homes as well as long houses or village huts. In more remote places, visitors should gain permission from the village head.
Bali features many self-catering villas, which can be secluded and luxurious; most are small and characterful. These tend to be advertised locally or on websites.
