U - Universitas Udayana: the conference venue

Of course, it is always nice to make hotel reservations well in advance; however, many hotels in Indonesia simply do not deal seriously with reservations more than a couple of months in advance, and when prospective guests try to make such reservations, the hotels simply shrug them off with a pro forma "Yes you have a reservation" or "No we're fully booked" when in reality they haven't even started taking reservations. The moral is, if the hotel says you have a reservation, don't take it for granted and keep on checking; but if they say they're fully booked, don't panic and keep on trying. Things pretty much always work out well in the end.

For hotel listings, traveller reviews, and links to booking websites, tripadvisor is a useful resource.
