My daughter and I had a lovely time while we were at Bali, we stayed for 9 nights, but that wasn't enough. We're planning to go again soon. The Balinese people were very friendly and all positive.We meet and talk to people from all over the world .Bali nights were fun. The bad part was the mosquitoes were much and the local restaurants were looking dirty but we went to restaurants where all the tourists were.If you like surfing 🏄‍♂️ its absolutely fine.

Bali’s safe. But I think it’s hard to met some people in this destination. Book a tour with a local guide to see everything from Bali and not only the touristic things. You can do a lot for nothing there.

It was perfect experience! I really loved it! Even though I came alone, it was easy to find girls to hang out with. Food is cheap and delicious, people are friendly! Also recommend to try massage, it’s also very cheap!

I felt really safe in Bali. I met some amazing people that became my friends. The transports are easy with the app Grab. The food is so inexpensive and so so so delicious. The shops are so nice and they are doing so many beautiful crafts.

It's generally a safe place.There always the regular occasional breaking and entering like in any place in the world. But I feel more safe here than in many places. People are friendly and not predatorial like you can feel in other places.

If use simple rules for safe like everwhere in the world then it’s ok. Here lots of foreigners and lots of tourists traps. But if u read and explore Beto come here about all typical stuff then it’s ok.

Bali is a safe place to travel, but you need to follow the basic safety rules that apply in any country: do not walk alone at night, do not leave a glass unattended, do not leave with strangers. But in general: the island is very safe, as the locals will always help and advise, the tourists are kind

The most safest areas are Ubud and north of Bali. Uluwatu too. Not sure about Kuta, you can be robbed there. Many markets where you can be touched without permission. Also Changu. Crowded areas with lots of tourists, parties.

I'd say Bali isn't that safe since a lot of people came in here. Some of them stayed and decided to live here. Some of them just wanna have a tour. I personally never being robbed because I actually don't go outside alone, like, barely. But catcalling is everywhere, and I admitted it it's annoying
