Quick question for the Indonesia regulars — has anything changed in the last few months?
I was there 6 months ago and had a great time but I've heard things are quieter than usual.
Worth going back or should I try somewhere new?
Cheers

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were higher when I went. Maybe timing matters.

I was there in January and prices were exactly as described.
Spent about $80/day all-in. Quality was good.
My tip: go early evening for best selection.

I'd rate it similarly. Solid 8/10 destination.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found downtown to be better value.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try using a different site next time.

Adding my experience from 3 weeks ago.
The scene has changed a bit since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 20%.
