   I think it would be worthwhile to make a list of hotels that cater for families and that make the booking process clear and easy when you are specifying your details like how many children etc. We could eventually do a map to show those hotels, rate them, etc, just an idea.

   Indeed, sorry Chris, lets name names and it does not just have to be hotels, Destinations and places outside of Bali…?

   Thanks for the feedback guys,

   Those are good ideas, but who has time to check e.g. all the hotels to see if they are truly family-friendly?

   Indeed Chris, however perhaps some of the regulars could recommend or review their favourite tho? Of course, we would need to wary of the Timdog “Tea with the Tribesmen” review not so sure they would be considered family friendly in the decadent way I like.

   Good idea,

   And we already have a space at the bottom of each hotel for people to leave suitable comments, but for whatever reason guests seem to be not motivated to leave one. So far this year, we have only received one. In December, the only two were written by yours truly. Any suggestion how to get more comments?

   At the risk of offending someone, I usually use Agoda and leave comments there. Although to be fair they harass you later by email to comment and promise points for leaving comments.

   For what it is worth, I travel a heck of lot primarily internally but a reasonable amount external and where I stay is based on what I read in the comments unless I know the area very well.

   On a slight tangent, there aren’t many restaurants with playgrounds or kids menus either, except for Western fast-food joints (which I don’t usually go to). Maybe the local attitude is the nanny can look after the children at home, or entertain the children on site. A few more restaurants have high-chairs.

   Actually, one exception in Surabaya is Boncafe; each branch has a small playground with at least a slide and a swing.

   Agoda is a nuisance. Once you have visited their site they keep popping up everywhere.
