No, it is not customary to tip in Bali. However, it's always appreciated when you show your gratitude with a little extra money. Keep in mind that no one will come chasing you down if you don't leave a tip, but it's always nice to show your appreciation for good service with a token of gratitude.

Another thing that makes Bali so cheap is the exchange rate. Bali uses the Indonesian rupiah, which is a very weak currency when compared to the Western currency. You will get around 18,000 rupiahs (IDR) to £1 English pound (GBP) and 14,850 IDR to $1 US dollar. This means your money will go a lot further!

There is no hard and fast rule for tipping in Bali. All hotels and most restaurants have a 17% or 21% tax and service charge included in your bill so it is up to you whether to add any extra tip on top of that. When it comes to tipping drivers or other 'freelancers', it's nice but not required.
