Accommodation in Bali

Students Accommodation and Housing

Finding suitable accommodations in Bali is an essential part of the experience for both interns and volunteers. Whether you're getting involved on a long-term internship or participating in a short-term volunteer program, understanding your housing options is crucial for making the most of your time in this vibrant destination. Below is a comprehensive overview of the student accommodation options that cater to the specific needs of Bali Internships' interns and volunteers, focusing on budget and location.


For our volunteers: Local Guesthouses and Homestays

For those involved in our volunteer programs, we primarily offer accommodations in local Balinese guesthouses or homestays. These options allow you to delve in the local culture while living in a supportive environment. Staying with a Balinese family or fellow volunteers fosters community connections and enhances your overall experience.


Accommodation Options for Interns

Interns receive access to a curated list of housing options that range from budget-friendly to more luxurious alternatives. The accommodation typically includes a single bedroom with a private bathroom, air conditioning, a small pantry for preparing snacks, and Wi-Fi. Many places also offer shared amenities like kitchens, living areas, and swimming pools, creating a social atmosphere ideal for networking and friendships.

Budget-Friendly Options

Accommodation prices in Bali vary based on location and amenities. Here’s a breakdown of expected costs:

  • Housing: Approximately $100 to $150 per month for budget accommodations, such as shared rooms or local guesthouses. More private options may range from $200 to $300 per month.

  • Utilities: Expect to pay around $30 to $60 monthly for electricity and water, depending on usage.

  • Internet: High-speed internet typically costs about $20 per month if not included in the rent.

  • Food: Grocery expenses can range from $150 to $250 per month, depending on dietary preferences and whether you eat out frequently. Local meals at inexpensive restaurants can cost around $2 to $5.


Important Considerations

Temporary Accommodation:

We recommend booking a temporary hotel or hostel for your first week in Bali. This allows you to acclimate and explore various neighborhoods before committing to a longer-term rental.


Location is Key:

When searching for budget housing, consider how close you want to be to your internship or volunteer project. Areas further from the city center or the beach tend to be more affordable, allowing you to stretch your budget while still enjoying the unique charm of Bali.


Rental Duration:

Generally, longer rental periods result in lower monthly rates. Many landlords offer discounts for extended stays, so be sure to inquire about potential savings if you plan to stay for several months.


Understand Additional Costs:

Remember to factor in extra expenses for utilities such as electricity and water, which may or may not be included in your rent. Clarifying these details upfront will help you budget effectively.


Emergency Contacts:

Ensure you have important contact numbers on hand in case any issues arise with your accommodation. Having support readily available can ease your transition and enhance your overall experience.
