Getting Started and why you should list with BaliLocalStays

As a family-owned accommodation provider in Bali, you’re not just offering a place to stay—you’re sharing your home, culture, and hospitality with the world. Bali Local Stays is designed specifically for hosts like you, ensuring you keep 100 % of your earnings while strengthening local communities. Unlike global platforms that divert tourism income overseas, our commission-free ecosystem keeps every rupiah in Bali, supporting families and preserving traditions.

 

The Real Cost of Commission-Based Platforms

Traditional booking sites charge hefty commissions that reduce your profits:

  • Airbnb: 3 – 16 % in total service fees
  • Booking.com: 10 – 25 % commission (average 15 %)
  • Expedia: Up to 20 % commission

With Bali Local Stays, these commissions are eliminated, saving the average host thousands of dollars each year.
