10 nights hotels, 1 night homestay and 1 night camping. We stay in a range of accommodation on this trip from comfortable hotels to a homestay and one night camping. The hotel in Kintamani is basic and the hot water supply can be unreliable but we use this hotel because it is best located for our exploration of Mount Batur. When camping on Rajewesi Beach we stay in 2-person tents and mats and sleeping bags are provided and there are basic toilets and showers with cold water. The homestay on Mt. Ijen is run by a coffee cooperative and is basic but clean. Whilst some rooms have western toilets we cannot guarantee these. There is no hot water at the campsite or at the homestay. The hotels generally are all en suite and all have air conditioning apart from the hotel in Bedugul which, being at altitude and having cooler night-time temperatures, does not normally require it. The more basic accommodations are balanced by staying in some comfortable hotels on other nights. Please be advised that the accommodation listed in each location on the day to day itinerary are the standard hotels used. However, there may be some departures where groups stay at similar hotels of the same standard and quality.
