My name is Jens, 31 years old and currently working/living in Brussels, Belgium. Me and my girlfriend have had a long thought on what to do with our lives ( like most of us have once we reach the 30-years mark) and after some year of travelling SE-Asia, we have decided to give it a go and live for an undecided amount of time abroad, preferably in Indonesia ( We both are in love with the nature, people and it's culture). Our idea would be to start leasing a hostel for 1 year and see where it goes after. We have a personal friend of ours wo would love to do the same thing, so our budget would increase. We're not thinking of making a profit, break even would suffice. So even if we would only be able to live without turning the hostel into a profitable one, we would be satisfied as the experience alone would be incredible to us.
When travelling on one of our visits to the country, we came across a helpful foreign hostel owner, who gave us some insight on things were done regarding setting up a hostel as foreigner. Namely on how you would need an indonesian person (this point should be covered, cause a personal Indonesian friend of mine would be interested) to become the sole proprietary owner on paper while you do the managing and some amount of funding.

Indonesia, the largest island country in the world, is located on the border between the continents of Southeast Asia and Oceania. The archipelago of Indonesia is constituted of the five bigger islands of Java, Sumatra, Borneo, Celebes and Papua as well as more than 14.000 smaller islands, which include the resort islands of Bali, Lombok and Flores that are some of the most popular seaside destinations around the world.
Indonesia's motto is 'Unity in diversity', which is not surprising given that on the thousands of islands that make up the country, almost every religion of the world is represented, with Java being the island with the biggest muslim population in the world, Bali being famous for its Hindu culture, Flores for its strong Christianity, with Protestantism still very much alive as a heritage of the Dutch colonial times and traces of the Buddhist tradition found all over the country. As well as that, every island boats with its own culture, with their particular dances, customs, clothes, food and arts being highly distinctive and very much alive and practised on an everyday basis. Shows of locals dances and rituals are not to be missed no matter which part of the country you are visiting.
The country is characterised with breathtaking scenery of a mostly vulcanic landscape, with such sights as one of the world's most active vulcano, Merapi and the inactive, but romaticly located Bromo vulcano as well as exotic beaches covered in coconut and banana trees and white sand, turquoise waters and beautiful rock formations. As for historic sights, one can find everything from ancient Hindu and Buddhist temples, like the UNESCO protected Prambanan and Borobudur to modern mosques and Sultan's palaces. The local people are extremely friendly and will always try to give their utmost generousity and goodwill to foreigners.
However, travelling can be quite a challenge in the country, especially on a low budget. Although the country is one of the cheapest in Southeast Asia, with prices normally being 6-8 time cheaper than in most Western countries, foreigners normally pay a tourist price and it is a normal procedure to ask for your ID at sights with an entrance fee and make your pay around 10 times the local price if you are not an Indonesian citizen. Tricks and spontaneous price changes are common, but you will still end up paying way less for food, transportation and souvenirs than you would in most other countries.
As budget travellers still do not constitute the majority of visitors to the country, there are not always adequate transportation facilities and convenient hostels available for them. Hostels are common in bigger and more touristy cities, with places like Yogyakarta and most cities in Bali offering an intimidating choice of accommodation, mostly at extremely low prices. For the low price you pay, you can normally expect really high standards, sometimes even of a hotel quality. It is not infrequent to offer a swimming pool and garden and a simple breakfast of pancakes or toast is almost always included in the price. Most hostels are furnished tastfully and in a way that reflects that local culture. More and more often, hotels tend to offer dorm rooms as well, which are always excellent choices, because for the price of a dorm room, you get all the facilities of an upper-scale hotel. However, try to avoid homestay hostels as they are normally extremely basic and often not too clean family homes that have a few rooms available for travellers.
There is several hostel booking sites, such as Hostelworld.com, Hostelsclub.com and Booking.com. While every platform has its pros and cons, there is a universal truth you as a traveler should be aware of: Not a single booking site can always offer the best prices.
You can search for exacty hostel prices in Indonesia here on Hostelz.com. Pick your destination and pick a date. The system will track down the prices to give an idea of what budget and prices you can expect.
If you want to stay at the best hostels, it is a good idea to have your hostel booked around 1 month before you travel. For the regular hostels, booking one week before should be okay. Yet again, this always depends.
Generally speaking, hostels are as safe as you make them. We highly recommend always to bring your own padlock, using the lockers and taking care of your belongings. Make sure you pick a safe hostel, offering lockers and a safe location. Please always pay attention to the reviews; they can give you a great insight on what to expect and safety tips.
