Gerokgak hotellia

Plussat: The staff were incredibly nice and hotel had a relaxed atmosphere to while away the days in. They were able to offer various tours to local sites as well as scooter and snorkelling gear hire.

Miinukset: The food at the restaurant was not up to the same excellent standard as the rest of the hotel.

Plussat: The hotel is beautiful and very well taken care of.

Miinukset: My only problem with the hotel was the trekking they recommended. I would stay here but be hesitant about their trip recommendations. It is probably best to do trips/activities on your own. The trekking we did was a huge waste of money.

Plussat: Henkilökunta sai todellakin vieraat tuntemaan itsensä tervetulleiksi. Kaikki ovat superystävällisiä ja vieraat huomioidaan monin tavoin. Huone (superior) oli mukava ja viihtyisä, ruoka herkullista, ja ammattitaitoiset spa-palvelut mukavasti saatavilla. Sijainti ei ole ihan rannassa mutta kävelymatka on lyhyt.

Miinukset: Itse majoituksesta ei pahaa sanottavaa, mutta sukelluskeskuksen prosessi oli epämääräinen. Itse asiassa kyseessä ei ole ollenkaan sukelluskeskus, vaan he alihankkivat sukelluspalvelut paikallisfirmalta, jonka toiminta on vähän sinne päin. Jooga oli kohtuuttoman kallis ja jäi osallistumatta. Se olisi ollut nurmikolla altaan luona, eli mitään joogastudiota ei heillä ole.

Plussat: I came there with a group of 7. When we arrived, we were welcomed by our names engraved on the grass at the entrance. Never seen anything like it. Later we also found our name on the bed in our rooms. It was made out of flowers. We loved the personal welcome message they left for us!

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Good breakfast, although not as big as expected. Great location. Great room.

Miinukset: Unfortunately, the food at the restaurant was not so good and overpriced.

Plussat: The whole place was fantastic, little touches like the welcome and flowers in the room was lovely. We felt so well looked after and every single member of staff wanted to make our experience great. The restaurant and food were also incredible and they had a lot of cocktails.

Miinukset: NA

Plussat: Perfect place to stay if you want to explore the North of the island. Super friendly and welcoming stuff, really good facilities and everything always really clean. Also handy to arrange activities with them, snorkeling and mangrove tours are highly recommended! There's a nice swimming pool and you can also enjoy good cocktails at the pool bar! We really enjoyed our stay at Kubuku!

Plussat: Very nice place with modern, beautiful rooms and outside private bathroom. Everything very clean and well kept. Most of all: the staff was amazing! Super friendly, remember your name, nice to chat with and they are really helpful. Also the dives with Kutu were really good, and they prepared a refresher at the pool the day before diving.

Miinukset: Nothing to mention here.

Plussat: The location within West Bali National Park is excellent. We really enjoyed spending time at the small, secluded beach and taking advantage of onsite access to all sorts of activities (e.g., snorkeling, horseback riding, cooking classes, and dining). Kind and accommodating staff. Awesome place; highly recommended!

Miinukset: It was a bit of a journey to get from the Bali airport to the resort (~5 hours drive) but it was definitely worth it for us. The cost was also a bit high but our stay was worth the splurge.

Plussat: Everything is wonderful, it was a magical experience

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Wonderful room. Great pool. Fantastic location. Delicious breakfast. Shuttle service fantastic. Great wildlife. Staff went above and beyond to make it a memorable trip. Great attention to detail. Great views from both restaurants.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Dear Menjangan Family, Instead of writing the classic recommendation for other guests, we would like to adress this to you. Thank you so much for the amazing stay we had at your resort! Initially we planned to stay with you for one night but we just could not leave this hidden paradise the next day. The room and the surrounding was beautiful, perfectly kept clean and tidy. We really enjoyed the perfectly organized transport to the beach/restaurant where we have seen monkeys, deers and some birds. Breakfast and dinner at the restaurant was the most delicious we had during our entire stay in Indonesia and it was amazing to see with how much love and passion the food was prepared and served by the staff, who made everything possible for us.

Miinukset: The Transports to the beach and the restaurant were organized perfectly, however as an environmentally friendly resort, there might be more sustainable/eco friendly car options. This is actually no real criticism as we trust that you have this on radar for the future ;-)

Plussat: We stayed at the beach villa, beautiful facility, the view was amazing and we woke up to see dears in front of the room

Miinukset: 4 hours from the airport, still worth it but it can be tiring

Plussat: Amazing stay. Perfect place and staff. The proximity with nature is fascinating, pricey but definitely worth it. Thanks

Plussat: The staff was very helpful and friendly, good facilities and food. Exquisite place with wonderful views. We stayed at The residence which is great for a group or family.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The food is amazing, the staff are brilliant, the room is lovely and everything is just wonderful!

Miinukset: The Wi-Fi doesn't really reach my room very well, pops in and out.

Plussat: In the best area of pemuteran close to beach and great price. Excellent and friendly staff. A mini market opposite to the hotel. Great pool and surroundings. Highly recommended!!!

Miinukset: It should have a fridge in the room.

Plussat: The room are super clean and all the staff it is super helpful and friendly. Location it is great, you have everything you need near by.

Miinukset: The walls are super thin, that I could hear the guy that was staying two rooms down. The WiFi it is pretty bad, I stayed 5 nights and only there was convection from around 9pm-10am and really poorly. if you want a good connection you will need to find a place that don’t use government connection (or at least I was told that)

Plussat: Breakfast was good, they have a good cook. We have good meals in the evening too. The staff was very helpful when I had an infection and asked about the local doctor. The manager requested the doctor to come to me at the hotel but when that was not possible the hotel staff drove me to the local clinic about 10/15 mins away. He stayed with me and acted as interpreter when we arrived and supported me to collect medication etc. this was all without the expectation of any reward or cost to me.

Plussat: Suka Sari is a friendly place with very attentive staff. The grounds are well maintained, and I really liked the outdoor bathroom.

Miinukset: I would have preferred a buffet style breakfast over the menu with limited options, it's a minor detail though.

Plussat: A very nice place, with a beautiful fruit garden and a passionated gardener. The people of Suka Sari are very commited and eager to help you with anything.

Plussat: The customer service at this hotel is exceptional, All staff are very friendly and helpful and genuinely care about the wellbeing of guest. The rooms are very clean and the grounds and pool are beautifully kept. The breakfast selection is good and lunch and dinner includes tasty Balinese and Western food. A very short stroll across the road and past one restaurant takes you straight to beautiful and peaceful Pemuteran Beach,

Miinukset: There are no negatives to this hotel. It is conveniently located, clean, and set in beautiful grounds. The customer service is outstanding.

Plussat: There are not many places, where you are met on arrival by all the staff. Everyone that works here is so kind and courteous. The rooms, bathrooms pool and grounds are immaculate. We ate most of our meals at their Warung, and everything was so tasty, excellent food at reasonable prices. There is a shop and laundry across the road. As well as Taman Sari where we had our massages. They provided us with a very nice, polite English Speaking driver who picked us up from our Kuta accomodation He also drove us to our next stop Lovina, stopping at the Buddhist temple on the way. My daughter has CP cannot walk and uses a Wheelchair, we found the rooms and the grounds fully accessible with only one small step into the restaurant. Will definitely return.

Miinukset: That we didn’t stay long enough

Plussat: I enjoyed immensely the location of this property and the pool area! It was great being able to chill and cool off in the pool. The service was amazing and staff were so kind and helpful.

Miinukset: The things we didn’t like about the property were minuscule compared to the items we did, but the room was quite dark in colours. You nearly had to have the lights on the whole time inside the room. If you wanted some downtime by yourself in the room or just wanted to get away from the sun you kind of hated going back into the space due to this.

Plussat: Nice quiet Hotel at good price- very nice grounds and nice rustic rooms

Miinukset: Staff were helpful but inexperienced and young and didnt know what do to at times - massive improvement would be if pool bar staff actually walked around and took orders from people in pool beds etc Beware the MiniMart at the end of the entry road ! very high prices - half price if you walk across the road !

Plussat: Everything was great.

Plussat: The staff at the bar was exceptional! The villa and the garden have been great but a bit outdated. Live music on Tuesdays.

Miinukset: There have been many, many trainees at the restaurant which had nothing to do and just standing there and monitoring the guests and asking for the breakfast vouchers in the morning. Same amount of trainees at the reception w/o anything to do. The isolation of the villa was kind of bad as it was really loud all the time. The staff at the beach wasn’t attentive, they have ignored the guests who where annoyed of the straying cats and dogs and haven’t provided cushions for the lounger without getting asked to.

Plussat: This was our third accommodation in Bsli and as the others had been exceptional I was prepared to be disappointed as I felt out other experiences could not be bettered. How wrong I was!!!! Everything here was just beyond perfect. We stayed in a two bedroom villa with private pool which allowed us to potter around at our own pace and yet mingle with the other guests from the resort if and when we wanted. The food in the restaurant was delicious and the staff had no problem amending dishes to suit out individual tastes. The ladies in the spa were delightful and the massages some of the best I’ve had! The staff could not have done more to make this trip outstandingly memorable - they organised trips for us and looked after all our needs. Thank you to everyone in Taman Sari - this is a very special place. ❤️

Miinukset: Nothing - it is exceptional- laid back yet offering a quality stay without any fuss!

Plussat: Good breakfast - simple buffet style (not extensive choice), great position! Peaceful, lovely area

Plussat: The resort itself is very beautiful, the staff is nice and everything looks pretty, from the reception to the beach. Everything in public is well maintained of what we registered.

Miinukset: Our room (we had a studio) should have long been renovated. The front door was hard to close and to lock, but nothing compared to the bathroom door: it was nearly impossible to smoothly slide it and with all my force I could open and close it - I don‘t know how a child should manage this. I also didn‘t like that we had to share our room with at least 2 geckos and also a cockroach lived in the bathroom. As the bathroom is outdoors, it may have just come by, who knows. Maybe a more expensive room is in better shape, we didn‘t find out. We just hoped to survive in our studio room.

Plussat: We stayed here in January - was very quiet. Not many options to walk to outside the hotel.

Miinukset: A mirror needed inside the property (only has a mirror in the outside bathroom). Location was a bit quiet for our liking.

Plussat: The resorts location, the cleanliness of the rooms and the grounds, and the friendliness of the staff.

Miinukset: The only suggestion I could make would be that the restaurant think about revamping its breakfast options.

Plussat: Ravintolassa paikallista, juuri pyydettyä kalaa tarjolla - voit valita illalliskalasi etukäteen tuoreena. Uusia kokemuksia sininen shnapper ja korallinpunainen, valkopilkkuinen crapu. Herkullisia molemmat.

Miinukset: Nettiyhteydet pätkivät usein ja vanhan ajan tabletilla yhteyksien käynnistäminen vaikeaa.

Plussat: Very close to the beach and pretty clean you can snorkeling. Not big but beautiful environment nice garden. Pool is the best. Just transit for one night, hope stay more longer.

Plussat: The location is great, the place is beautiful and the food very good. The staff is also very nice.

Plussat: Tirta Sari is a very nice place where everything you need is taken care of: good (and cheap) food, a pool, 50 meter from the beach with own longchairs, outside bathroom, good working AC etc.

Miinukset: I liked everything, to make this place perfect an electric water boiler standard in the room would be nice and a small fridge. The only thing I did not like is that the house cats have their tail chopped off (like other cats in Bali = culture). Sometimes cultures can change and leaving cats as they are when born, could set a sample for a new culture towards cats in Bali.

Plussat: Garden, swimming pool, closed to the beach, good breakfast

Plussat: Well prepaired agains mosquitoes, mosquitonet, incense burner outside the room.

Miinukset: In the bed room, there was no blanket. Not much sitting area for relaxing. The beach was dirty.

Plussat: The garden of the hotel is very nice and the beach is perfect if you like snorkeling .

Plussat: Only 2 minutes walk to the beach and the gardens were so beautiful.

Plussat: Fantastic service, comfortable bungalows, great location - plenty of restaurants nearby, with decent variety. Spa was excellent and very well priced. Pool was enjoyable, and swim up bar was very tempting. Food was delicious - generously and attractively served, and very reasonably priced. Breakfast was a bit limited, but never went hungry. You will probably want to explore nearby restaurants to get a bit more variety.

Miinukset: WiFi - very patchy and slow. This shouldn't be an issue for most (turn off the computer and go and sit by the pool!), but as we were studying for our PADI certification, which was online, this was problematic for us.

Plussat: Everything was perfect, decoration staff pool, diatance to the beach

Miinukset: Staying only one day

Plussat: Super place, friendly staff, beautiful garden, just a perfect place for relaxing. One place to come back.

Plussat: This property is located in an amazing location as you can see the beautiful beach with many kind of fish that you can see just by swimming at the shore. The room is quite comfortable, and they gave us the best view there. Really appreciate it. The pool and the restaurant is very nice to spend time there. I wish I have more time to enjoy this wonderful property.

Miinukset: You have to be ready for the winds. Not just in the afternoon, but also in the night. As we are stay in the “glamorous tent”, that might wake you up from your sleep. Also, be concerned for any insects in the rooms, like ants and others.

Plussat: This was my first experience in glamping... this location was excellent great pool overlooking the park Staff were very helpful and accommodating would return to the same place

Miinukset: The beach was quiet difficult to get in as there were too many rocks but the pool made it for me

Plussat: Had a pleasant stay in the middle of Menjangan wilderness. Stayed at one of thier beach front tent room. Love the staff very much very accommodating. It is worth the money we spent. Highly recommended for those who looking a short getaway from the hustle bustle city life.

Miinukset: The lighting is little dark in the night.

Plussat: the view n foods are excellent

Miinukset: none

Plussat: Beautiful location Really good food (way above expectations) and nice staff around the kitchen / restaurant

Miinukset: Bad and complicated service Air conditioner blows straight onto the bed and without it it is way too hot

Plussat: Amazing location with incredible mountain and sea views. Friendly staff, amazing service and the spa massages out of this world. The diving/snorkelling in the area (Menjangan Island) is some of the best in the world!!!

Miinukset: The dining area could be a little more inviting. Try tablecloths, flowers and have tables set up. The food was simple/good, but could be better.

Plussat: Remote and clean place. Delicious food. Well trained staff. Great diving!

Plussat: The staff was wonderful

Miinukset: The air conditioner wasn’t working properly

Plussat: Great hotel to start in Bali with beautiful decoration and love to details. We would love to come again!

Plussat: super Lage!! Famous seaturtle SOFIE lives right in the bay!! You can see her grazing her breakfast just around Bio-rock area. Going for a swim, a dive or just snorkeling everything is easy you want for a relaxed diving resort! It is not a huge resort in a small town, but the employees really make the stay pleasant. The area is not yet over-run by tourists yet and you get to explore the original neighbourhood. Price for eating out is also reasonable, and it's a very relaxing part of Bali.

Miinukset: I hope the hotel landscape could be more like a eco-vegetable garden. We had a mango directly from the garden and it was a wonderful experience, and in an area that needs so much water to keep the garden green I would love to see they do a project with the community and make the best use of the water consumption to maintain the hotel landscape. It is nothing new, we had more than one hotels in Bali providing vegetable directly from their own garden.

Plussat: Very nice garden with bungalows around it. Great for snorkling. Very relaxed. Good kitchen. Resto at the beachside & not at the noisy streetside.

Miinukset: Issues with toilet.

Plussat: Nice houses within the lush vegetation and pool area leading to the beach. Lots of restaurants and diving activitues/shops within walking distance

Plussat: Breakfast and food at the restaurant was very good. Staff very polite and helpful. Rooms are very spacious and charming. Great location on the beach.

Plussat: I liked the grounds and the food in the restaurant it was Greek, very nice staff

Miinukset: All good

Plussat: Lovely bungalows, looking onto beautiful garden, nice Varanda with a day bed. Great pool, good loungers on beach in the shade. The town, or should I say road , has lorry traffic and not good to walk at night, so we ate at a few places on the beach, so quite beach based place but no nightlife as such

Plussat: Location Pool was amazing Very comfortable All staffs so nice Garden is stunning and very well kept

Miinukset: Breakfast was great but restaurant was a bit hit and miss.

Plussat: A lovely place and wonderful place.

Miinukset: NA

Plussat: Great location on coast. Lovely pool and gardens. Consistently high quality and tasty food. Charming staff.

Miinukset: The hotel is very nice and most aspects of our stay were excellent, but at this price they should be! So a few area for improvement below: Furniture in room (arm chair, sofa, chez-long) was classic colonial and more decorative than comfortable to sit on. We felt that the hotel is overpriced - both the room rate (c.f. Other hotels we have stayed in during our holiday in Bali, but also on an international scale more expensive than a lot of good London hotels for example) and especially the lunch and dinner menus. The empty main restaurant in the evening suggests that other guests feel the same. The beachside restaurant (Leon) has a great location and is more popular but still very expensive c.f. similar beach restaurants in Permuteran bay. Finally, we were really unimpressed to be told that a transfer to Legian would cost 2,500,000 rupias.... clearly an inflated price. We said no thanks and that we would find our own local taxi... when the guy at reception suddenly said he could arrange one for 1,000,000 rupias.... clearly just asking what he thought he could get away with the first time! It may be a matter of personal preference... but although the staff are charming we got fed up of having 3 different members of staff coming to check if each and every course of our meals were ok and engaging in forced conversation (particularly after having explained that my wife was ill and so just eating plain rice... so was unlikely to want a spicy sauce or a cocktail!). Similarly, every time we passed reception we were asked about our onwards taxi arrangements (even in the day we arrived) and activity plans (trying to sell excursions).

Plussat: An amazing boutique resort situated in pristine a landscape and away from undesirable tourist masses. Though a 3.5 hours drive from the airport, it is worth going the extra mile as the drive itself takes you on a tour through the best Bali hast to offer - beautiful landscapes with temples and rice fields. The food is amazing and the attention to detail in this authentic Bali style architecture is stunning. Lovely and genuinely friendly staff that makes you feel welcome and part of the family.

Miinukset: We loved it.

Plussat: everything: friendly staff, very clean, one of the best breakfast we've had in Bali: execellent buffet breakfast with crsipy freshly baked bread, fresh juices and so much more... ; beautiful swimming pool, and excellent for a snorkeling or diving trip around menjangan island (they have a 5 star padi with marvellous service).

Miinukset: for us its one of the best hotels to stay in Bali - family feeling.

Plussat: Everything was excellent and wonderful. Perfect holidays! Amazing garden. Truly breathtaking.

Miinukset: There is almost nothing, that I did not like. The only thing to mention is that the bedsheets could be improved. They were a bit flat and did not feel luxurious.

Plussat: The highest quality accommodation in all of Bali.

Plussat: Amazing location. Friendly staff.

Miinukset: There was nothing I didn't like

Plussat: The fantastic swimming pool

Miinukset: Bathroom was open

Plussat: Quiet, not too much people, in the nature. Beautiful !!

Miinukset: Breakfast a little bit light / not enough

Plussat: The Bay View Suite was absolutely amazing. It has both a garden in the front and an open bathroom and backyard in the back. The SPA and the infinity pool were also phenomenal and with very experienced staff.

Miinukset: The food choice of the breakfast and dinner menu was a bit limited and the location though incredibly charming is very isolated from the rest of the island attractions. Once there, you don’t have much choice re where to go / what to do /where to eat. Perfect for a couple of days but may get a little repetitive after a few days.

Plussat: Because we were there in the off season we had the whole resort for us alone. Food, massages, service and basically everything was perfect. The value you get for your money here is incredible! Thank you for everything guys, much love ♡

Plussat: This is our 4th year visiting this property. We like it so much that we try to visit once a year. Fantastic location, friendly staff and comfortable rooms. Highly recommended!

Miinukset: Could improve a little bit on breakfast choices, other than that nothing that I could complain about!

Plussat: Breakfast was good. The location was fine. We were given an upgraded room which was quite lovely. Our friends however did not get an upgrade and their experience was slightly different. Great swimming pool. The restaurant was somewhat expensive for dinner but there is a cheaper and very good restaurant outside of the property

Plussat: The views were amazing. The staff very helpful - they even left a Happy Anniversary message on my bed. Such a peaceful resort to spend a few days relaxing.

Miinukset: It was a bit remote.

Plussat: Rooms were very pretty, and they pout two extra beds into the Lumburg room for our kids. Food was very good. Pool good. Massage to die for. Great view from be pool giving a lovely backdrop. Had a great snorkelling trip. Highlight was releasing a turtle into the wild from the local sanctuary. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Not cheap but we worth the money.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Service was absolutely amazing. The resort is stunning, the better place to relax and get the most of bali.

Miinukset: Would have been helpful to have scooter as the nearest village is 10km far from the resort.

Plussat: Very pleasent resort, good atmosphere, nice hotsprings, and facilities overall; highly recommend for this area

Plussat: The natural hot spring pools are awesome, multiple pools, ranging from mid to hot temperature. Dip pool at villa's is awesome spot to relax your tired body after activities. Garden, Villas are beautiful and well manicured.

Miinukset: Waiting time for room service and restaurant orders. The bathroom is hot lacking of ventilation/Fan. Poor sound insulation between villa's, you can hear people next door. Spa/massage can't get the time, since i was there on peak season.

Plussat: The property grounds are spacious but not too remote. The rooms and restaurant are great and so is the pool. The staff do a great job at everything.

Plussat: What a fabulous place ! The grounds are like a large park- comfy rooms with outdoor shower. Hot springs are located on the property. My room had a private pool and a hot spring tub. The restaurant is located on the edge of a lagoon.

Plussat: Beautiful place on beautiful location.Love the water station on every corner.Staff were amazing.

Miinukset: Food can be better,especially for breakfast.

Plussat: I always come back to Mimpi Resort if I head to West Bali. Brilliant location, food, facilities and staff. Close to everything you need to be. Oh and the spa experience was exceptional.

Plussat: Breakfast was good and the service also. Liked the view of the restaurant

Miinukset: The room next to me woke me up at 5am

Plussat: The swimming pool, clean rooms with terraces, good restaurant for lunch and dinner

Miinukset: The breakfast was very simple and it looked like the staff who was serving the breakfast really hated their jobs - they were not friendly at all.

Plussat: Nice swimming pool and dice Centre next to the hotel

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The whole place is lovely decorated and located. Very quiet,beautiful lush garden and pool. Super relaxed atmoshere. Nice room with hot shower and comfortable beds. Loved the bench on the balcony. There was a safe in the room. You could refill waterbottle s in the lobby/ restaurant. We were diving with DiveConcepts located in Arjuna , very convenient. Although Arjuna is located on a side road from the mainroad it still centraly located and about 5 to 10 min walk to the beach.

Plussat: The hotel was just as beautiful as the pictures described. The staff was extremely friendly, so we felt very much at home since the first moment we arrived. Amazing pool area surrounded by beautiful plants and trees. Great view from our balcony. Rooms were very clean and beautiful. We definitely recommend this place!

Miinukset: No shower curtain, so every time we showered, the bathroom turned into a pool ;-)

Plussat: The room was comfortable and bed really comfy. There was lots of room for clothes and a long table. There were hooks in the bathroom with a towel for hands. The balcony seating was lovely and overlooked a farm so there were cows, piglets running around... The food was good and served all day. The pool was in the sun most of days. The snorkling trips organised by the Dive center next door were really good. Poutu was a great guide.

Miinukset: Maybe a lot od roasters in the morning but we're in Bali.

Plussat: Great hotel. Includes a Diving center, so its easy to arrange diving. Very kind staff. Generally very clean and pretty.

Miinukset: Diving and hotel cannot be paid in one bill and the entrance fee to the national park has to be paid in cash. So it was a little inconvenient since you would have to pay two different bills by card and still some in cash. But besides that, very great places!

Plussat: For us the location was perfect, far from the madding crowd. We already knew the area and had our own car for transport so not a problem although plenty of transport available at the hotel and Pemuteran in general. This location is not for people looking for the usual Bali experience or first time travellers to Bali. Although there are plenty of small shops for supplies there are no shopping malls or fashion shops as such. People looking for these should stay on the South of the island. This area is favoured by Europeans particularly those wishing to have a great dive experience. Lots of diving schools etc.

Miinukset: Our initial accommodation while visually perfect lacked some of the basic requirements for the outdoor kitchen eg plates, glasses and there was no outdoor shower as advised in communication with the resort. It appeared that this was a different villa and it was apparent that parts of this villa had not been used for some time. The third part of this villa was in disrepair and appeared to be undergoing renovation. It appears that our villa was only used as a last resort accommodation. As a better villa became available for our last two days the staff kindly moved us to a better villa with all the stated facilities..

Plussat: Attentive staff. Great breakfasts. Huge comfy beds. Great pool. Spacious.

Plussat: Loved the huge private villa with pool, the grounds, the staff and location. The villa was superb, beautifully appointed, clean and comfortable with several places to sit and relax - out door lounge, cabana, sun lounges, court yard, out side dining area. Bathrooms inside large with separate toilets and an outdoor shower as well. Beautiful gardens around villa and fish pond. The staff came around daily to change flowers and light mosquito coils. The restaurant by the beach served delicious meals including breakfast which was included in price. The location in Pemuteran village is ideal. We took advantage of day spa facilities, enjoying relaxing massages and pampering for very reasonable prices. Cannot fault Amertha Bali Villas!

Miinukset: No complaints about Amertha Bali Villas. The call to prayer at 4.30am from nearby mosque and again in the evening.

Plussat: Great snorkeling at the house reef, nice private villas with our own roof, good food at the beach restaurant, great diving school, good possibilities to go on tours, nice breakfast and a lot of beautiful birds in the garden.

Miinukset: Sometimes weak connection with wifi

Plussat: Beach and pool

Miinukset: Needs refresh Better breakfast Better menu

Plussat: Chosen for its location in an area of Bali we’d not previously visited - and far from the tourist crowds. An older property but well maintained offering villas with own pools together with main pool adjacent bar/restaurant/ beachfront. Staff were wonderful, our 2 bedroom villa very comfortable with plenty of room to relax/spread out - and pool sufficiently large for 12-15 strokes per lap. Onsite dive/scuba operator excellent as well as the spa. Beach walks in either direction although black sand/lava rocks. Ocean swimming in front of resort. Several excellent warungs/cafes in short walking distance. Day trips can be organised for variety of activities including West Bali National Park walks. Peaceful, informal, relaxed, absolute magic for the soul!

Miinukset: Nothing! You can always be critical but given its location this was exactly what we had hoped to enjoy - peaceful relaxation in a secluded part of Bali.

Plussat: Staff were so friendly and our gardener Gede greeted us everyday with a big smile! Our beautiful villa had a private pool and tranquil garden. All comforts were covered. The food was excellent with local seafood on offer every day. We would highly recommend Amertha!

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Hyvä palvelu, siisti. villat hienoja.

Miinukset: Rantaa siistitty hotellin kohdalta, mutta heti vieressä runsaasti muoviroskaa. Paikalliset sukellusfirmojen ihmiset istuskelivat kojuissaan ja odottivat asiakkaita, vieressä ranta täynnä roskaa. Jokainen joutilaista voisi kerätä roskia 10 minuuttia päivässä niin kuukauden kuluttua ranta olisi siisti.

Plussat: We loved the view from the villa...we had Villa 1A which is one of the villas closest to the beach...as a result we had a nice breakfast on the sand a lot of mornings. The pool area was great...very clean and we were lucky enough to have it to ourselves as there was not anyone in Villa 1B otherwise we would have been sharing it. Bed was fantastic...BIG and great linen changed every day! Shower was one of the best I have had in Bali!!(3 trips) Staff were extremely friendly and helpful...I think they were all desperate for something to do because it was very quiet,. Plenty of restaurants close by as well as massage places...and even a coffee place that made very good coffee. Location being on the beach was very nice to sit at but not good for swimming...too many rocks.

Miinukset: The TV was very old(CRT) and reception was extremely poor which was very frustrating trying to watch anything even though we didn't need to watch much tv it's nice to have it available if you want to watch something at night. The pool filter was turned off daily around 5.30pm...we came home from dinner expecting to be able to cool off and every bug in the area had taken up residence in the pool so we had to ask for the filter to be turned back on which I might add happened fairly promptly...we needed to do this every day!...maybe due to different staff & message not being passed on?? Be aware that in the restaurant a 21% surcharge is added to cover VAT of 10% & service.

Plussat: Bli Putu was very friendly and helpful

Miinukset: Nothing, was perfect

Plussat: A clean room for an affordable price. Breakfast is served at the time you request and the garden is small but well maintained. You are staying in a local village and that in itself is a great experience. The real star of this place however is Putu. He is there to greet you with a smile and will help arrange any potential activities from snorkelling to bird watching. He is a gem and is quick to respond to your queries and address any concerns. He made the place feel homely and as a host he is 10/10. Sadly you aren’t paying for Putu, you are paying for accommodation of a certain standard. We felt that overall The Local Menjangan did not meet our standards.

Miinukset: The property itself is a little dated but that did not come as a surprise to us. The pictures on the website were a true representation. Regulating the shower is a skill we were not able to master over our three nights there. Either very hot or very cold or both from each end of the shower head. The bed and especially the pillows were not particularly comfortable from our point of view but that may very well just be us. To each their own. Kitchen was questionable in terms of cleanliness. However most guests probably won’t look in the kitchen or ask to store things in the fridge and in such cases I would say: Ignorance is bliss.

Plussat: The Local is situated on a small lane away from a similarly quiet main road surrounded by nature to a backdrop of mountains. Having an outdoor shower amongst nature was as refreshing as it gets, and you can see the stars at night from there too.

Plussat: Friendly and very helpful staff... If you are looking for the best Homestay in west of Bali, you have to stay at this property. 100% recommended.

Plussat: Room is just nice to accommodate 3 pax. Breakfast is good. And easy access to the pier to Menjangan Island.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Clean, comfortable room with very comfortable bed.

Plussat: nice clean room shower in the nature nice environment if you like nature:)

Plussat: The staff are exceptionally friendly, helpful and really do their best to make you feel at home. I stayed for a long time (roughly 3 weeks) and Putu - much to my surprise-even organised a little get together with dinner and live music performed by local kids. It was very nice, and they even convinced other guests to dance with us. The location is good - close to the main road and about 25 minutes walk from the nearest public beach. But I do recommend to get a scooter. Honestly one of the best homestays I’ve stayed at here in Bali (and I’ve been to plenty).

Miinukset: The staff doesn’t live on the property- so be sure to tell Putu via e-mail when you will be arriving. Somebody usually comes by every now and then but don’t expect someone always being there. But a quick whatsapp message somebody will be there for you. Other than that there really isn’t anything negative I can say :)
