Bali Boarding House Business: Still a Golden Opportunity or Is It Too Late to Enter?

Bali’s boarding house (kos-kosan) market is evolving, not declining. While more boarding houses are being built and many are being listed for sale, demand for long-term accommodation remains strong thanks to Bali’s growing workforce, expanding economy, and increasing number of remote workers. However, tenant expectations have changed. Modern renters now seek quality amenities, fast internet, security, parking, and comfortable living spaces. For investors, success is no longer about building the most rooms but creating the right product in the right location. Understanding future housing trends may unlock significant rental income and long-term capital growth opportunities.
