- Was published as
- The article stated that the March 31, 2026 OTA delisting deadline under UU 18/2025 took effect on schedule and that Q2 2026 was the first full quarter with unlicensed inventory absent from Airbnb, Booking.com, and Agoda.
- Is correct as
- The deadline was rolled by the Ministry of Tourism, not enforced. The definitive schedule announced May 29, 2026: NIB + accommodation-KBLI submission by end of June 2026, grace period through July 31, and permanent simultaneous blocking of ~1,600 unlicensed accommodations across Airbnb, Booking.com, Agoda, Traveloka, and Tiket.com starting August 1, 2026. Compliance surged instead of inventory vanishing: villa-category NIB registrations grew 76.4% year-over-year.

Editorial corrections registry
When we get something wrong, we publish it here.
Bali Villa Select is an editorial publication. Every article on this site is reviewed before publication, but no editorial process is perfect. When a reader, a source, or our own desk identifies a factual error in any piece we've published, we record it on this page with the date, the article affected, what we got wrong, what is now correct, and how the underlying article was updated.

How to flag a correction
Email the editorial desk at editorial contact form with: the article URL, the specific claim you believe is wrong, and your source for the corrected information. We respond to every flagged correction within 72 hours – including the ones we end up not making, with our reasoning.
We pay USD 50 per verifiable factual error reported on any published article. This bounty applies once per error per reader. Style preferences, opinion disagreements, and outdated-by-recent-events items do not qualify – we are paying for facts we got wrong at time of publication, not for the world changing after we published.
Why this page exists
Editorial principles
- Transparency over polish. When we err, we publish the error in full, dated, on a permanent page – not buried in an article footnote.
- Substance over style. Corrections are scoped to factual claims. We do not correct prose preferences, tonal choices, or editorial framing.
- Timeliness. Corrections appear within 48 hours of verification. The original article is updated in the same window, with a visible "Updated" stamp.
- Cumulative. Every correction stays on this page indefinitely. We do not purge or rotate the log.
- Public. The bounty programme creates a public incentive to find our errors. We would rather pay USD 50 than publish a wrong number.
