We test-drive every hotel before we ever make a recommendation so that we can give you our honest, expert, opinion about what hotel might be best for you. We don't accept sponsorships from hotels - so our recs are 100% unbiased. Our Bali Top 8 resorts / Best hotels Bali list has candid reviews & tours.
