Where our recommendations come from
We do not rely on second-hand accounts or aggregated online reviews. Hotels, villas, restaurants and experiences are recommended only after our specialists have visited them in person.
On those visits the team checks the quality of service, safety and authenticity first-hand, using the checks set out in our methodology.
For specialist subjects, we consult recognised local experts, academics and certified professionals.
Official sources we check against
Rules, safety information and statistics are cross-referenced with primary government and industry sources, including these.
| Topic | What to know | Guide |
|---|---|---|
| Kemenparekraf | The Indonesian Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy, for tourism policy and CHSE (Cleanliness, Health, Safety and Environment Sustainability) certification. | |
| Direktorat Jenderal Imigrasi | The Directorate General of Immigration, for the latest visa and entry requirements. | Visa for Indians |
| Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS) | Statistics Indonesia, for official tourism data and trends. |
How every guide is reviewed
Each article and guide goes through three stages before it is published.
- Written by specialists with direct experience of the subject
- Edited for clarity, grammar, style and our house voice
- Checked by a senior team member, often our Head of Operations in Indonesia, for technical, logistical and cultural accuracy
Evergreen guides are reviewed every quarter. Changes to visa rules, airline routes or safety advisories are updated within 48 hours of an official announcement.
Why no one can buy a recommendation
Our recommendations are earned, not bought.
Reporting a mistake
