Fugly Bali
Hotels in Bali - Hospitality or Self Accommodating?!
Balinese hoteliers. We help you determine the good, the bad and the fugly!
Stolen land, illegal buildings, cheating (staff, guests, etc.) Bali hotels directory.

Here at Fugly Bali we are resolved to maintaining a name and shame directory of Bali's hotels we have reasonable evidence on that either;

1) Are built on "stolen" land (such as land taken by Suharto's regime under compulsory purchase laws where the original Balinese owners and their families have never been properly compensated).

2) Are operated by the Soharto family, or companies which they have an interest. As thousands of Balinese and Indonesians were killed by Suharto's government, and their continued profiting from these murderous days is unforgivable. See also our page on Suharto's Businesses.

3) Cheat their suppliers, staff and / or guests. Such as hotels that do not pay their bills, despite making $ millions, hotels that rob their staff of the service charge they should get, and hotels that have even cheated their guests.

4) Clearly have building permits that should never have been issued according to the cultural and heritage protection laws in Bali. That is hotels who have built too close to a sacred temple, or have flaunted other building regulations detrimental to the landscape, culture and people of Bali.

If you know of and wish to report a fugly Bali hotel / want to add more information to what we have already, please visit our Bali Hotels Information bulletin board.
