While on the island of Bali you will find that it is standard practice to leave tips for good services. But you should make sure that you are not being double charged. In restaurants, for example, the standard tip is 5-10% but some will include the charge automatically on your bill. Make sure to read the bill carefully before leaving any money behind.
It is not mandatory to tip car or taxi drivers but it is appreciated. When in a taxi, it is customary to simply round up your bill. If, for example, your tab is Rp16,050 you would round it up to Rp16,100 - or higher if you feel so inclined.
Your hotel will automatically include a 10% service charge in your bill. If you’d like to make sure a specific employee receives a tip from you than 5-10% of your bill is standard.
