Comfortable & Relaxed Living
Private Villa
Comfortable & Relaxed Living
Most students decide to rent a whole villa during their stay in Bali. Especially if you are traveling in groups, this might be the most popular and fancy option. Though, it may not be the most local way of living, as you will most likely prefer your fellow mates to share the villa with and won’t get access to a traditional local living.
250-400 USD / room / month.
The price depends on where you villa is located and how many people you share it with.
2 to 5 bedrooms per villa

Homestay
Cozy living with peers
There are many so-called “homestays” in Bali, which offer a good balance between a local living experience and comfort. Although often mistaken with, it is no guest family. A homestay is a small and cozy apartment complex in either a family housing complex or a separate private one. There are usually 3 rooms or more next to each other providing a good balance of privacy and social interaction with your neighbors.
150-320 USD / room / month.
Homestays are often cheaper than private villas and are great for budget travelers.

Who do we recommend a homestay to?
If you choose to live in a homestay in Bali within a family living complex you have the chance to fully immerse into Balinese culture and make local and international friends. However, you need to be comfortable meeting people from other countries and being independent while living in Bali.
Option 3: Local Kos Kosan

The local way of life
Kos Kosan
The local way of life
If Indonesians from other islands work in Bali, they usually take lodge in so-called “kos kosans”. These are single rooms, which are either sparsely equipped or not equipped at all. Most of the locals buy their own beds or mattress, and other small furniture they need.
40-110 USD / room / month.
Kos Kosans are suited for students on a very tight budget.
Mattress
Rooms are usually equipped with a mattress on the floor.
Shared Bathrooms
Local style bathrooms are often shared with other Kos guests.
Sometimes equipped with WiFi
In addition to your own SIM card, that you receive from upskill, some Kos' will offer WiFi
Sometimes fans available
To make sleeping in the warmth a little easier, a Kos may also offer a fan.
Who do we recommend a homestay to?
If you have lived in Bali or Indonesia before or in case you are already 100 percent familiar with Asian culture, this option might be suitable for you – also, if you are living on a very tight budget and accommodation comfort is not important for you.
