Swiss-Belhotel Rainforest in Bali - Detailed Review

  • Published 14/03/23

In winter 2023, we travelled to a tropical destination to escape the cold Finnish winter. We chose Bali, which was more than 10,000 kilometres from our home. Despite being aware that the island offers much to see and do, we decided to book our hotel accommodation in a single location, mainly to save on our travel budget and for other reasons. We chose Swiss-Belhotel Rainforest in the Kuta area because the hotel had good reviews, its location was practical, and the price was the best. Read our hotel review to see what the hotel was like.
