More specifically, Kuta, located in the southwestern region of the island, is the most sought after by Airbnb users around the world.

The city is also famous for its epic New Year celebrations on the beach.

Beyond the top three, Asian destinations dominate the list, with places in Thailand and Singapore also ranking in the top 10.

Meanwhile, Australia's major cities are also popular, while Malaga in Spain is the only European destination coveted by Airbnb users this winter.

Having the right facilities is also very important, with tourists searching for lodging with swimming pools, Wi-Fi, kitchens, Jacuzzi and free parking.

As part of its winter update, Airbnb also announced that it would add new accommodation categories to the site.

Tourists can search for an 'new' place, meaning the venue has been added to the site in the past 10 weeks, or a 'tren' for lists seen more than the previous week.

This coveted phenomenal scene can see in the new 'world peak' category, to find a place to stay located 3,000 meters above sea level, and any traveler requiring additional access can look for a 'adjusted' property category.
