Prices and facts checked in October 2026.
What you can rent for a month or more
- Serviced studios and apartments: furnished, with cleaning and Wi‑Fi included, so you can move in with a suitcase. This is what Sora Residence Sanur offers.
- Villas and houses: more space, often with a private garden or pool. Who pays for electricity, water, cleaning and repairs differs from one landlord to the next, so ask before you agree.
- Guesthouses and boarding rooms (kost): usually the lowest rent, often with fewer facilities and more shared space.
- Hotels: some offer monthly rates, but a hotel room often has no kitchen.
What to check before you sign
- What the rent includes: tax, cleaning, linen, Wi‑Fi, water and electricity vary from one landlord to another.
- Electricity: many places in Indonesia use prepaid PLN meters, and air conditioning is usually the biggest part of the bill.
- Deposit and advance payment: ask how much you pay before you move in, and whether a long contract means paying many months in advance.
- Contract length: check whether you can start with one month and extend.
- Internet speed: important if you work online.
- Stairs or a lift: many low-rise buildings in Bali have no lift.
- A viewing: see the room in person or by video before you pay.
