Add your Bali budget hotel or guesthouse to the Hostel Directory
If you own or operate a Bali budget hotel, guesthouse, hostel, inn or whatever - or you know someone who does - you (or they) should enter the information into the new worldwide Hostel Directory. This will be a huge and global directory of hostels and other budget accommodations. You won’t get any spam from this, but you should get some extra bookings.
The site is new, but it’s part of a big travel network so it should be worth a couple minutes of your time. Go to this hosteldirectory entry page …
