I never wanted to go to Bali, my favourite place is Japan. I went for the first time last year and I’ve always worked in clinical environments so I’m a super hygiene freak in Bali. I researched thoroughly where I stayed based on personal recent reviews and photos and admittedly did not do Bali “cheap”. Used hand sanitizer, took colostrum, always stuck to decent places to eat and discussed with staff most frequently ordered items for fresher turnover. Had no issues and enjoyed it more than I thought I would. I still prefer Japan but the highlight for me in beach clubs in the day and exploring outside tourist areas with my driver. About to go back. It’s not what I’d normally gravitate to but with strategy, planning and diligence it really is my top place to relax for a short trip. Couldn’t handle it for more than 10 days.

Thats the honest review of Bali specifically Canggu i've ever seen.. Canggu is different so much over the years ago..

Good customer support can make all the difference

This unfortunate gift card situation highlights the importance of handling customer complaints effectively. Even if the issue is out of your control, a sincere apology and attempt to find a solution can go a long way in preserving your brand reputation.

So true! It's refreshing to see someone be real and vulnerable online.

This video has changed my mind. I'll go to Fiji instead.

The foreigners destroyed nature this island what was 15 years ago , currently is the lower commercial level destination with price in 2025 like Europe lol

Is slums only for some life loosers or broke foreigners who can’t afford stay in top world locations or even in own country , mostly aussie, russia,usa 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

How many times have u been to Bali? If it’s your first time and based on that, you just want to stay at a resort? 😂 dude, you gotta explore more of the island. You don’t really experience the real culture if you stay at a five star resort. Might as well just stay in your country and go to a resort there😂 And don’t blame the island for the weather 😂 so you don’t like Bali because you’ve been there once, been to a couple of bad villas, been to Canggu, and came at the rainy season? That doesn’t sound like an overall fair view of the place. And the thumbnail, come on man. It’s exaggerated and borderline clickbait. So for people out there, his experience is not a fair assessment of the island. Typical content for clicks…

I spent a week in Bali last year and I’m going back in a few weeks. The people are lovely and friendly. The place is wonderful. The only thing I don’t like is there are no calm waters as it’s all ocean and that Starbucks is way more expensive than even in the U.K.! For me I always stay in hotels I can trust. I know air BnB and similar can be great but I also know it can turn out badly. Hotels in Bali are generally very reasonable. I spent a few nights at the RC too and it was lovely and very fair. Around $150 a night. The St Regis which is almost next door was however $500 a night for some reason… but even the non luxury hotels but still part of respected international brands can be $50 or less.

I stayed at the United Colours of Bali for 50$ a night and it was the highlight of staying in Canggu back in April-May. Great hotel but I wouldn't go back for most of the reasons you mentioned in this video.

I'm Balinese, I'm i agree with that. There are many things that are not published.

Uluwatu is the spot in Bali

Trusting internet ads, videos and photos was a huge mistake when choosing accommodation in Bali. Going to the loo at night with water floating around your feet seeping out the wall and floor (not sure where it was coming from the drain or just a pipe) was never something I would ever expect in any accommodation let alone an upmarket Villa. They put towels down to "sort the problem" but the damp and health risk was not even a consideration. Yes I got an upper respiratory infection ...the damp toilet and poor air circulation in the room ? or just coincidence?. The Villa is so neglected that most of the facilities (except the pool) had some maintenance issue. It also had serious safety issues that would not pass safety standards even in a third world country and I have travelled and stayed in hotels, villas, apartments and rooms in Africa, most of Europe, been to a number of islands, and travelled to the USA, and I was really disappointed in the standard of accommodation that is a luxury Villa. Maybe 30 years ago yes. (As example we stayed in a 3 bedroom chalet in March in Australia where a person reported feeling a shock from a stove and within less than an hour all the 5 units were shut down by the authorities and all the occupants had to leave, but we were moved to a beautiful beachfront apartment at no cost, apology and absolutely no trouble for the owners). This Villa had wiring in the one toilet hanging from the wall with insolation tape over the two exposed wires (acceptable ?). I would never go back to Canggu and as a result not to Bali. The one great experience was the lovely Indonesian people, they are really all so friendly and extremely kind, every single one of the local folk we met including the Villa staff. But A BIG NO to bad accommodation, NO to bacterial and viral infections and huge medical bills, and a BIG NO to everyone falling ill and not enjoying their holiday. (US$15,000 or A$23,800 for 13 nights just for accommodation at the Villa is not cheap by any standards).

Bali was such a disappointment to me...after being so excited to visit "paradise". The "luxury" villa felt like camping with beds (at best), and we really had to dig deep and put on brave faces to make it through the two weeks. The kitchen was disgusting, and the bathrooms were WAY beyond the point of passing as luxury, never mind livable. I've never been happy to leave a holiday, but I just about kissed the ground when we got home. Feels like a gigantic waste of money AND time, and that's one Christmas I will never forget, sadly for the wrong reasons. 😞 If you insist on going to Bali, don't consider any area other than Nusa Dua - and choose a well-known resort rather than a "villa" or Airbnb. I can't speak for Uluwathu or the more inland region, but Nusa Dua is slightly better than Canggu, Kuta, and Seminyak - all disaster zones. You'll likely still get a gastric virus or bacteria, which will affect your holiday, but it's nicer to recover in a room with a clean, bug-free bathroom and have access to a clean beach and the ocean - which is the point of going on a beach vacation. All the beaches outside of the resorts are extroardinarily FILTHY and hard to get to due to traffic.

I agree; the people are extremely kind but there is a lot of crime and gang activity

Most people learned to drive a car by going through some sort of drivers ed training. They don’t just do it, and there is usually a lot of training done before hand.

Phew! I’ll definitely practice to do that!

Great advise

Give a real life story not a hypothetical it will hit more people 😂

I’ll give that a go

If you think businesses operate more ethically then the government you are very delusional

there a mix of both in the world. Sadly the trully underpaid worker are drowned into the mess of the bad worker complaining.

True

This is telling!

Yes, Salt Lake airport is aweful

So true

Love it!

Totally agree!!

Love this

Yup!!! Will be strange at the beginning

Id definitely complain, $250 to ship something that can fit in an envelope is insane. Id ask the desk lady to ship it to me and ill send her money to cover the costs plus her lunch. Does your lifetime statues even help? Damn man😂

I think Id be looking for lodging elsewhere.

Straight out robbery. I got robbed by the Utilimaster corp when I ordered some parts... evil

Ok lets see I am being charged for dui improper firearm just because I smell like weed which cops can’t use it’s legal they did unlawful search they took two months to even do the poilce report the day before got speeding ticket insurance raised $900 tried to switch nope $12799 then also was going to move out but no prices are way to high and top of that the cops took away my rights my license and lied about half the information so yea hearing this thanks

Having a tough day...walk through the ward at a Children's Hospital

Amen you said a mouth full!

Just talking about this with my 90 year old uncle at breakfast today. People complain waaaay tooooo much! They need to live in the moment. We're blessed with shelter, heat, AC, food, hundreds of restaurants.....yes, many need to have a new perspective!

Free will doesn't exist. Purely determinism.

Great advice! Sucks that I only understand it after learning the hard way 😂

I think Trump came to the future, took this advice and went back in time and started to grow.

How about damn near every time you spend $, you are asked if you want to give to some charity? Quite frankly, I don't eat out anymore since the prices have gone nuts. I can make anything I want at home, for less than half I'd pay at a restaurant, except chinese

I"m sorry you had to go through that.

Amen!!!

It’s worth noting that this mindset does depend on the trade-off both in business and personal stuff. When you go above and beyond, it’s usually under the assumption that you will be appreciated. It’s not looking at it transactionally so much as valuing yourself, being aware that your instincts are to give and then making sure you’re all on the same page.

What skin issue? I see a man opeing up and nothing else. ❤ amazing video my friend
