Editorial Policy

Selection

We cover places and topics that help readers plan time in Bali. They come from team visits, editorial research, community recommendations and paid partnerships. Inclusion does not mean a venue is right for every traveler.

What our coverage is based on

We label coverage by the experience behind it, and only when our records support the label:

• Tested by our team: we directly tried the food, service, stay or activity.
• Visited by our team: we visited the location, but did not necessarily use its services.
• Editorial research: the content is based on research, not a confirmed visit.

We do not write statements such as “we tried this restaurant” or “we stayed here” unless the experience can be substantiated. Labels are being added page by page. A page without a label should not be read as a personal visit.

Supplied copy

Text supplied by a venue is labeled “From the venue.” Hotel descriptions sourced from Booking.com are labeled “Via Booking.com.” We do not present supplied text as an independent review.

Paid content and hosted experiences

Some articles, advertorials and featured listings are paid for by the businesses they feature, and some venues host our team for free in exchange for content. Affiliate links are marked rel="sponsored" for search engines.

Payment buys placement, not a positive opinion. Details of our commercial relationships are in the Affiliate & Partnership Disclosure.

Authors

Articles are credited to The Bali Guideline Editorial Team unless an individual's writing or editing is confirmed, in which case the byline links to that person's profile.

Updates and corrections

Opening hours, prices, events and availability change without notice. We update high-use pages when new information is available. To request a correction, send the URL, the incorrect detail and a reliable source through the Contact page.
