Tipping room attendants is easy. 10 000 to 20 000 RP per bed per day adds up to a nice boost in their pay packet by week's end. I guarantee that you will get preferential treatment , a big smile, and make a hard worker feel good.
Restaurants and bars tend to pool tips but you can press something into the hand discreetly when leaving. As everywhere else om the planet, about 10% of the bill is about right. All else failing only reward great service, whether you are standing in Kuta or Sydney. As a rule I find if you follow a tip with a genuine word of thanks, it paves the way for a happy return.
