“My favorite hotel in Indonesia! Great service and amenities, friendly staff, comfortable and well-designed room. I cannot say enough about this hotel. I love it and would recommend it to anyone.”

“We are frugal traveler, so we typically do not stay in fancy, luxurious resort and/or hotel. But, we have stayed at a handful over the years in different countries - US, Indonesia (Bali and others), and Australia. I have to say that AYANA resort is BY FAR THE BEST one we've stayed at. It was also the priciest. We booked a room for around AU$250 for 1 night only, but since we had 2 kids with us we had to pay an extra US $100 + 21% (service and tax). But... It was WORTH EVERY PENNY! We're already planning to go back there again for at least 2 nights.”

“Ayana should be the benchmark of true 5 star hotel. The staffs are the best you can find, they are attentive and extremely helpfull. We had a sunset dinner in the Kisik restaurant (much better than the Rock bar) and my partner said, it's the best dinner he ever had: the view is fantastic (book ahead to get the best table), the seafood is fresh and seasoned to perfection, in addition, the price is not extremely expensive. The room, we were lucky to get an upgrade, so we had the Club Suite, it was furnished beautifully, we also get an access to the Club suite and our own reception desk. What can we say, the best 2 days in our life. We went to Rimba as well, since they are in the same compund. Even if the view is amazing from the rooftop and there are more swimming pool, but the service is so far behind Ayana. Keep up the good work Ayana. We will be back again in the future!”

“Great welcome, the hotel has wonderful facilities, they have their own mini-zoo (!) and mini rice fields, playgrounds for kids. The pools are awesome and the service is above my expectations. So far the best deal i had in Indonesia. Thanks Sahid Eminence :)”

“"wow" is the word came from the moment i saw this place. Hidden in the narrow alley, this hotel offer you a luxury stay and great facilities. I booked the suite room and then had updraded to the cottage. It was an impressive 2-floors-cottage. They had a spacious living room and kitchen at first floor and two great bed rooms at the second floor. Each bed room had a modern bathroom with big bathtub and high-tech toilet. Breakfast was superb with local and internationals varieties. Hotel has different entertainments for each night such as movie night and etc. They also had two pools, pub and spa. I tried the spa and they are perfect for a tired body after a long day exploring Bali. The hotel's staff is very helpfull, you can ask them for airport transfer or taxi, if you need it. Beach and the famous Seminyak street is only walk-distance from the hotel. You should also try the Wendy's gelato, they only 5 minutes walk-distance from the hotel. Overall, this is one of my best stay experience in Bali and I really recommended it for everyone who are looking for a relaxing and luxury hotel in the strategic location.”

“We had previously stayed at Hard Rock hotel Singapore last year - which was our first Hard Rock experience and in our opinion a so-so hotel - so we had moderate expectations before arriving. Well actually we were wrong. The hotel was actually way beyond our expectations. The things that we liked: The atmosphere. The hotel has this one central theme, which is to make you feel like you're a rock star. I think they succeeded on this, there is a continuation of the theme in all parts of the hotel, you can even borrow (or rent?) a fender guitar to play in your room. The staff was also very friendly. The attention to detail. - Hard Rock bali is not a new hotel, I've been to Bali a lot of times, and it's been there as far as I can remember. However, the premises are very well maintained, I even tried searching for broken stuff on the room, finding only the board under the bed is a little old. - WiFi does not require password. This. - No vouchers whatsoever required for breakfast. These little things really made you feel like a spoiled rock star. The pool. The pool is very nice, the kids spent one full day playing in it. The things that we'd like to be improved: The food. The morning buffet was standard. It wasn't bad, but not special too. The dinner buffet could also be improved. The night live music. The music from the cafe is loud and goes on until 1AM. From our room we could feel the bass kicking, especially when we turned everything off to sleep. But hey, it is called Hard Rock hotel right?”

“Booked hotel through agoda. Hotel emailed agoda asking our time of arrival. I replied hotel directly and hotel replied instantly. Hotel transfer was punctual with Great comfortable car. 15 mins drive to hotel from BBT port. Upon arrival, was treated with friendly security and receptionist serving cold Apple tea and wet towels. Plus point, receptionist was able to speak good English. Check in was very fast and efficient. She asked for our ferry return booking confirmation. We have no idea why. There is a mini mart right Infront of lobby. Very smart. We were able to stock up. Villa was so clean and awesome pool. TV with many cable channels HBO to FOX to sports. They have shuttle services to nearest mall Plaza Lagoi. In our case, they drove us personally to the mall. Awesome!. And they fetched us back from mall on time. We were told that due to off peak season, there won't be any buffet breakfast nevertheless they told us they would send the menu to our room to choose. Within seconds, the menu came and was told we could order anything or even Everything on the menu. The best part, it could be serve at 10.30am so we don't have to wake up that early. Our check out time was extended for us to 1.30pm instead of 12 noon. Upon checking out, receptionist handed us our ferry boarding passes. Least that we know, they had done all the tedious work at the ferry before hand with the ferry return booking slip that I handed to her upon check in. We just had to board our ferry. Fantastic service! And will recommend everyone to have their short getaway at this villa!”

“wow! this place just blew us away. yes it is expensive, you're looking at $1k sgd per day for room and food, but it is 5-star and you get what you pay for. the private beach is clean, long with clear blue water and you can use all the amenities of the sister hotel next door and charge to your room. the service here is the best i've ever had, free yoga session, everyone smiling, door-to-door buggy service whenever you like. it was the perfect location to pop the question to my girlfriend (now fiancee :) villa on the rocks was stunning, nice deep jacuzzi and sunrise view over the south china sea.”

“Pros - special channel in Indonesia checkpoint, express Lane no need queue if you are canopi guest. Don't really know how they did this in a government sector but it's damn cool ye -bus service to hotel and checkpoint all provided by hotel. We missed our bus there as we lost something in the hotel but the kind staff arranged a car for us and drove us there. -When we arrived the area, staff serve welcome drink to us whole we were waiting to check in. As soon as you are some checking in, staff will assist you and help you to bring your bags and luggage to the bungee [mini vehicle] and drive you right to your room. The staff even came in to set up the TV and aircon got us and tell us about the area! Very good service!! Gave the friendly staff some tips as we were very pleased with the services! - transport to local seafood restaurants all provided with a 20% discount!. - all activities will subject to a 15% discount if you stay in canopi! - very cozy room with a jacuzzi!”

“we stayed for 4 nights, taken 2 Deluxe rooms for 4 adults and 2 children. At the time of checkin, auto upgraded to Balcony rooms, great. Very clean and neat rooms. Called the hotel a day before and asked for neighbouring rooms and they did their best and gave 2 rooms very close. Friendly staff, responded to our requests. Booked hotel with breakfast, is an excellent choice. Nice variety of breakfast and tasty food as well; omelet counter was the best of all! Great location, walkable to nearby shops and a Minimart is very next to the hotel. Pleasant stay and would love to come back again. Cons: 1) Bathroom wall on the room side is glass with semi covered, not good for privacy. could have put a screen. 2) A dressing mirror outside bathroom could have been better”

“We stayed at the hotel for two night. We had the last room on level 3, it was very quiet and we didn't have any disturbing problem mentioned by other customers. Room was nice and clean, view is spectacular (felt like living in the jungle to be honest and we loved it), staff were extremely friendly and helpful with a big smile on their face all the time. They offer shuttle bus service and it was very convenience to get to the Ubud centre. They also have free afternoon tea from 2-5pm! Breakfast was delicious, the food was fresh with a lot of variety, both Western and Indonesia food. The down side is that my boyfriend had dinner at their restaurant and he said it tasted horrible. I wasn't allowed in as I was wearing a swim suite so I guess I was probably lucky!”

“check in = take more than an hour (very very busy) duty manager = VERY BEST handling our problem and our infant, thank you. staff = greets every customer well AC = not cool enough, leave it for hours to get cool room facility = thanks for staff for decorating our room during 1st and 2nd night amenities = VERY BEST! kids club = Best handling our child beach = dirty with seaweed during our stay, but the sand is clean view = best swimming pool = BEST breakfast = VERY BEST (indonesia,japanese,western,italian,chinese,indian food available) -buffet check out = check it twice before you doing check out, it may be busy at 12:00, you may ask for late check out.”

“highly recommended. staffs were helpful, breakfast was awesome, n they even provide afternoon tea. we had family rooms and kids have their own privacy. rooms ass big and spacious, my 2 boys loved it totally. cleanliness was good too. location is good, just a short walk to the main Street. ”

“Checking into the Seminyak was one of the best decisions my fiance and I made during our stay in Bali. Even though it was a bit pricey it was worth every penny. It is definitely a 5 star hotel and lived up to all of our expectations. This hotel could write the definition on cleanliness as our room and every part that we saw of the hotel and ground was spotless! The staff were so gracious and did everything that they could to make our stay as pleasant as possible. The breakfast spread was amazing complete with freshly cooked banana pancakes. The pool area, complete with sun lounges and direct access to the beach was a perfect place to escape and relax. The hotel has their own life guard as well so you feel extra confident going for a dip in the ocean. The room was beautiful with a comfortable king size bed, spa overlooking the sea and was the largest hotel room we have ever stayed in. We will definitely be going back to stay at The Seminyak again.”

“Yes there are a lot of improvements since my last visit to this hotel 2 years ago. Fast check in and out. But still find problems during breakfast. The staff cant manage the queues, well that’s always the problem with alot of hotel in Indonesia. They basically cant manage the queues, such a shame for 4/5 stars hotel! I gave the 2 star for the staff at the restaurant during breakfast only! Be a professional, dont judge people by the skin color, dress they were wear! Such a shame!”

“We spent two nights at the tea garden resort in Lembang, a short drive away from Bandung. For the last night of my long weekend I wanted to have nice comfortable and civilised night at the Padma, which I consider one of the best hotels in Indonesia. I have been staying there since 2001, at least a couple of times a year, and with each renovation the hotel seems to get better. I like the grounds, which have a small zoo of rabbits, goats, geese and some other creatures. Next time I want to bring my 2.5 year old girl to see this. My visitor from Thailand staying at the same hotel and she appreciated the good food. Breakfast, lunch and dinner was great each time, and the price was very reasonable. All in all a great finish for a restful weekend”

“You'll never be wrong with the facilities and beauty of the hotel. Sad side with this hotel is you wil not enjoy the beach as it is for water sport only. We booked this hotel thinking the white sand beach will be enjoyed but, we we're confined with the 2- huge swimming pools. Well anyways, we really enjoyed the pools accessible directly on our rooms. take note pool is 24hours open, with a bar in the middle. We even gave up our 3rd hotel and extended our stay in Anumana. Breakfast you will enjoy well. It is difficult to find western or other asian food in Indonesia but you'll get a great breakfast here. over-all aside from Mosquitoes who will literally eat you by 6pm at the beach front, nothing goes wrong with the hotel. Really enjoyed our stay. Will definitely go back.”

“Our stay at the hotel was very enjoyable, the room was very comfortable and the staff helpful and efficient. Breakfast was included with the room and was exellent, both in variety and quality. Hotel area is very large and although it was almost full, we had no problems finding available chairs close to the pool. The hotel also arranged some unscheduled events while we were there, like a cocktail party in the lobby area where drinks and snacks were free for guests. We did however experience two things of annoyance. While the hotel had free wireless internet with good quality, reception in our room was very poor with the result that to use wireless internet, we had to sit on the balcony. While this solution was acceptable and the hotel provided free power extention cables, it was less than perfect. The other annoyance was that, although the hotel did have a transport service to and from the airport, this was not a free service, something I have become used to from other hotels of similar quality in Indonesia. The transport for two people was also pricy, double the price of a normal taxi fare.”

“excellent resort to recommend to people who want to seclude themselves from their daily stress, urban lifestyles, for a retreat and honeymoon. you are greeted by all staffs with great warm and friendly smiles upon arrival, your way to your villa and until the day you check out ! we booked a garden villa and were upgraded to a deluxe pool villa with a large private pool and a balinese day bed overlooking the tropical hillside !!! the view was breathtaking !!! (when i did my booking, i requested a best view because my husband and i love nature and mentioned that it was my first oversea birthday treat). the management, without fail, made our wish came true and made our stay unforgettable. and i would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere thanks to kamandalu resort and spa's management and all staffs for their warm hospitality ! excellent staff and services !!! and not forgetting our sincere thanks to the chef who specially prepared the grilled mushroom with cheese and bacon toppings for my breakfast on my last day. well done kamandalu !!! (applause....)”

“Both my girlfriend and I enjoyed our stay here at TS Suites over Christmas. We even tried room service on two occasions, which by our surprise, was the best Nasi Goreng during our stay in Bali! breakfast buffet in the morning was good - we particularly enjoyed their omelette and banana and strawberry pancakes made-to-order by their chef. There was also oriental selection at the breakfast such as congee, which was much needed for my girlfriend who happened to have diarrhea on the last day. Although customer service was excellent (as with all Balinese people, they are all so friendly!), there was an episode of miscommunication over charges of phone call which I think was due to language barrier. As a tip, always clarify if you are uncertain! We also found confidentiality was a problem in foreign countries like Indonesia. On the back of a scrap paper we were given, it was a scanned passport page of a fellow traveller. I was completely furious and took this to counter. They explained these are all scanned data and would delete it after our stay. But how could I verify this? If the management team can look into this area and improve this, I would then consider returning to TS Suites. Overall it was a pleasant stay, a hotel that is centrally located in Seminyak.”

“Marvelous, amazing hotel, luxurious new hotel conveniently located for touring the magnificent 8th century biggest Buddhist Botobudur temple and Pramaban temple, and at only 20 minutes from airport .Fantastic fully equipped gym with state of the art exercise devices. Beautiful gigantic infinity pool. Amazing five star food at a 2 star price!! Staff is always smiling! This is one of the best 5 star hotel in Indonesia.”

“I have been looking forward to my first child free trip in eight years. This was the pick for three friends and I to meet and relax. Easy to find (if you ignore Google Maps and don't listen to Siri). Very welcoming staff and the rooms were huge. Two king single beds with clean linen, just warm enough for the aircon rooms. Breakfast was included every morning and while not the best food you can get, it was plentiful, fresh, cooked well and certainly did the job and we never went without. Staff were also happy to cater when we brought our own bubbly for breakfast (don't judge - it was my birthday and a champagne breakfast was in order!) The location - that is the main factor of this hotel. Right next to the beach and also right where the beanbag bars are, it made getting to sunset beach drinks a breeze. The pool is big and warm, with varying levels so swim and lay in, along with a swim up bar. We never had too much trouble getting sun beds and while half our group moved to follow the sun, a huge tree between the pool and the beach gave sensational shade, as did the pool side umbrellas. It is definitely a 3 star hotel in the grand scheme of hotels but it is a top notch 3 stars and a fantastic, big, quiet hotel, perfect for relaxing and using as a base to get around Seminyak and other areas. Snacks are available all day - the mixed satay was delicious. The hotel also left me a complementary birthday cake in my room, which was both very thoughtful AND delicious!! All in all, I will definitely be returning.”

“The resort was absolutely beautiful! Amazing design around a huge lagoon pool with heaps f tropical plants. We had the pool access room and highly recommend it. The room itself was fantastically designed, with an open concept bathroom (that can also be private), great flatscreen tv with plenty of channels, great amenities (shampoos and body wash etc were good quality), and of course a wonderful view of the lagoon itself. I highly recommend club millesime. We had breakfast there twice of our four mornings, as its nice and quiet when you feel like avoiding the hustle and bustle of the main buffet. They have a high tea 3pm-5pm and tapas 5:50-7:30pm. We actually never went out for dinner because the tapas filled us up enough. They also have a cocktail each night and plenty of wine for free during tapas. All day you can order whatever drinks you like including soft drinks, ice teas, coffee, tea, fresh juices and smoothies. This saved us a lot of money as the prices throughout the hotel are actually really quite expensive (approx. $6 AUD for a coke. The pool table in the club was also great, and although we never used it there is a private pool for club members too. Finally I want to complement the staff who were so welcoming and friendly. The club staff were particularly amazing, as they were so attentive and you never had an empty drink, same as the CCC staff. The lobby staff are great too. My one recommendation to Sofitel is to provide an activities list for the upcoming week to all visitors. They had aqua aerobics and pool volleyball which was heaps of fun, but easy to miss if you weren't at the right place at the right time. Also adding yoga sessions on the beach in the morning would be great, or getting some kayaks? Overall an amazing resort!!!! I've been to quite a few five star resorts and this definitely tops them- I'm already looking to book another stay with them!!!”

“Spent our honeymoon and wife's birthday at Anantara Uluwatu. Greeted with a splendid ocean view from the lobby. The staff were extremely helpful, best service we have gotten in our stays anywhere. The rooms were extremely spacious and clean. The bathroom was amazingly spacious too! The outdoor jacuzzi was a great place to the sounds of waves crashing at night. This hotel has one of the best sunset views in Bali, given the location just at the top of a cliff. The sunset view can be seen from the hotel rooms, restaurant above or at the infinity pool. If you stay at this hotel, GO FOR THE SPA! You will not regret the amount of money you spent on the SPA. The Balinese massages are rhythmic & amazing! The ambiance of the place makes it hard not to relax and fall asleep. The only bad point of this resort is that it is located rather far away from the city. One will need a driver to get anywhere out of the resort. Then again, the serenity of the place can only be available at such deserted part of Bali.”

“we just stayed in this bcc hotel for a night and regret that we should have stay longer period.... it is a very nice hotel which i would say "maybe the best hotel" in batam indonesia.... it is a new hotel, therefore almost all the furnishment are newly setup. we have an upgrade to the premium room by the reception and the room is huge (the kids were able to play and run around in the room even with an extra bed setup). i guess the deluxe room should be quite huge as well... the breakfast is nice but variety is not too much. it's a mixture of asian & american breakfast style. there is a swimmming pool including a warm water jazzcui; it's quite relaxing to enjoy in the swimming pool. also, there is a gym which is big with all sort of bodybuilding equip, even comes with a room for aerobic. overall, i would say "thumbs up thumbs up & thumb up" for this bcc hotel. i will definitely stay in this hotel again if i am to travel to batam indonesia. cheers....”

“It is a simple 3 star hotel, proper beds showers, with all necessary amenities a hotel should have. Reception is very friendly and helpful even if they’re over loaded, they can manage. Room is big with lots of sunlight coming in, love it. Most importantly, air conditioning is PERFECT. So good. Tv comes with cable so there’s good selection. Also, the hotel allows grab Drivers to pick u up, so no problems trying to rearrange driver to meet somewhere else and your bike/car can just wait for you at the lobby, perfect. Pool is clean, staff are very polite and also experienced. I was so comfortable that I extended the stay. Location is not in the main Kuta but no worries, order a grabbike and you can travel anywhere in a short time! Bike rides to Seminyak and Kuta range from USD1 or less! Super cheap. Overall not the best hotel but good enough for me to come back and have a good rest. I would totally come back again. Also, the hotel receives bus loads of Indian guests, but it didn’t bother me. Overall front desk security and housekeeping were all very friendly. Hot shower works perfect. Would love to go back there again.”

“Where to begin?! The room was spacious and elegant. It used to be the Hyatt Regency so you can expect all facilities associated with the brand. The ground, the garden, the pool, the foyer, the lobby and more were stylish and well maintained. This is a stylish older property. The lobby foyer was scented with the aroma of Lemongrass ... comforting. The grand piano was used in the morning and in the evening. The restaurant was great. So many choices of food. A popular destination for the local Surabayan. What more can I say? Thoroughly enjoyable stay, will be back for sure. One of the best hotel, I have stayed in Indonesia.”

“Had an exceptional stay there, even though it’s not a good hostel to meet many people. It is really close t the airport and not gr from both uluwatu and Nusa dua. It was the cleanest hostel I stayed in in Indonesia and the breakfast was excellent. They are having the friendliest staff;)”

“It was my best staying in Bali, I was staying before a five star hotel in Nusa dua. Room is very clean. The staffs, Robert especially super nice and helpful,the manager does run a good hotel there.”

“That was my best and favorite homestay until now. The place is really beautiful and the hosts are the best! I enjoyed the chats with Andreas, we played guitar together and he made me a great time there. It's a shame that I was just for one night there... I highly recommend to visit them! I definitely will come back for a longer time. :) ”

“the hostel looks completely new, super clean and the stuff is very friendly one of the best showers in Indonesia, high pressure, new and clean :D”

“This is really one of the best Hostel I've been. The capsul are perfekt and clean, the mainroom is big enough and really nice. Maybe the bathroom could be a bit more clean. If you have to wash your clothes ask them. The Service is cheap and perfect( clean and it smells good) The staff is soooo kind and they speak english. You can ask them for help and they will help you. Thank you for everything”

“All the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. My economy room was windowless, which could be a problem for some but I loved it as it was very quiet. The facilities were modern and the showers had hot water all the time. Breakfast was a standard affair. It was close to many of the attractions and restaurants. It is a great hotel for the budget concious but does not compromise on comfort and service. I stayed there on four separate occassions and would definitely stay again should I visit Ambon in the future.”

“It's really worth my money staying 3 nights here. Location is quite far from the centre of (Ubud Market), but I enjoy the morning walk which took about 20-30 minutes. Night time night be the tricky part, try to reach back to the hotel before dark or just bring along a torch light with you. Will consider to come back and stay here again.”

“There's one dorm of 12 beds, very well seperated with curtains which is great for privacy. But there's only one bathroom for all those people and sometimes the shower didn't even work for our stay. The AC also partially works, be sure to sleep near the AC because otherwise it's very hot during night. It's well located but in front if the busiest street of Ubud so it 's really noisy all the time”

“I stayed for an entire week and I stayed in many hostels befire. In comparison that’s one of the best in value you get for your money. Easygoing very friendly and helpful stuff. Kitchen can be used. We cooked together. Sharing and caring. The guys do their best to keep all clean. Communication top. Everything else for me too. Recommended for male and female. Very safe here. And near to city center. Scooter can be rent. They help you with everything.”

“First wasn't sure, the price seemed to cheap so I only booked when I came here. Now I stay 8 nights! The dorm upstairs is simple but beautiful. Free breakfast, everyday different. One day we got banana chocolate pancakes!!! Showers and toilets are clean, nothing special. The chill area spacious snd it's super green with palm trees and a grass roofed bar. Its beautiful and looks like a 4 star hotel no kidding! For the money, the best deal ever! And I've been to 30+ countries! Oh and location is perfect too! Only internet is slow but local 4G SIM cards are cheap anyways”

“1. VERY CLEAN TOILETS AND BEDS 2.BEST LOCATION CLOSE TO ALMOST EVERYTHING 3.VALUE FOR MONEY 40K ONLY WITH BREAKFAST PANCAKE 4.FRIENDLY STAFF WITH RESTAURENT AND BAR 5.5 STAR SERVICE ”

“The location of the hostel is great,it's just with 2 minutes' walking to the city center-Ubud Market,a few of minutes' walking to others such as nice pub,western restaurant and monkey forest.They also have some tourist information about hiking,one day package tour...Anyway,it's a cheap place to stay in Ubed,but so sweet accommodation.”

“the room was so huge! if want to have the best morning views of Ubud, book this hostel! the top balcony has nice view of Ubud since this is the tallest homestay that I know. It is also close to Puri Agung and Puri Dalem. The offer taxi service and it is the best priced taxi service you can get. cheaper than anyone in Ubud. The staff and the owners are also very accommodating and approachable.”

“nice clean hotel with frienly staff but the lift is way too far behind from the lobby. corridor via restaurant is a bit narrow so if you're with big bag, take the left corridor (via surau). one lighting power switch that control lighting switch and power plug switch in a room. so if you switch off this lighting switch at night the plug then your tv is off too!!! as for food, fast food outlet (cfc) is infront of hotel and a 'padang food shop' nearby. within a walking distant (600m) is a shoping paradise where everything is sold here. with hundred of shops.... just choose what you want but then price is bit expensive compare to bukitinggi. angkutan is just outside if you're tired after shopping. overall i recomended this hotel if shopping is on your list.”

“my stay was amazing! from the beginning till the end, the lovely and gorgeous staff made me feel like home. It was like living with a small family. They were always smiling, helpful and extremely kind! the basic room was perfect for us: it was a really good price, close to the beach and in a nice and quiet area. This Guesthouse has a restaurant and a small shop for water etc!”

“Worst bed ever: painful mattress (hard springs all around) and bed bugs. The aftermath of the night: no sleep at all + more than 30 bites in my skin + 3 corpses of death bedbugs.”

“honestly this is the best hostel i've ever stayed at. they have privacy curtains on each bed, the receptionist was really NICE, everyone talks to everyone. a very sociable hostel. free coffee and tea for everyone, hot water, wifi, charging station and reading light on each bed. its also very beautiful bc it has traditional Balinese architecture characteristic (from massing and spaces pov)”

“This oasis in the centre of Gili Air has been fantastic for us. One of the best value accommodations of our trip across Asia, with a delightful pool and sunbathing area and free (and reasonable) breakfast. The recently built wooden bungalows were comfortable, with new mosquito nets and soft thick mattress beds on the floor. Wifi was generally excellent and staff always have a smile on their face. Could maybe do with some music and to staff the small bar by the pool, but I suspect the hotel is in its early days still so that might come later. Its about a 5-10 minute walk to the nearest beach and the main stretch of shops, but the island is really quite tiny so I wouldn't worry about its location.”

“It was kind of a rush of me to book at this place, i found few other options but I decided to stay here because it was the cheapest. however, it is cheap priced that comes with the best. I stayed in the dormitory room, it was quite spacy, and it only has 8 beds so not too packed even tho it was full at the last two days of my stay. It was worth it as you don't spend time in Bali, sleeping only, right? Perfect for touch and go. What I love the most is thatthe staff and the owner are very very friendly and welcoming. Plus it comes with breakfast ;) it also has small kitchen for you to chill up your drinks. It is quite far (well relative) from the city center but it is reachable by bike or gojek (the local online bike transportation). Definitely going to be my go to once I'm back.”

“I stayed here for 4 nights with an affordable price, if you don't mind sharing a room and toilet with others then this place is a great deal. Just walking distance from Malioboro Street, the environment is safe and the owner is very friendly. I would stay here again if I come back to Yogja!”

“I would like to say thank you so much to Putra, it was the best experience I could ever imagine in Bukit Lawang. When we came by bus he was waiting for us in the bus station, he bring us to the hostel and since then we felt just welcome. We book a 2 days trek in the jungle and we were very lucky, -he said- because we see almost everything you we expect. The trek was exigent but he was patient, the food was unbelievable, very fresh and tasty fruits, and the camp in the jungle just everything you can imagine, private natural pool, private cook, own tent, very nice service and an amazing night in the jungle. I hope that if you come to the jungle you book with him, because not just the service, the attention and the knowledge about the jungle, but because support local people is essential for the jungle and the animals, he left everything clean and we get not less than a luxury experience in the jungle. 100% recommended.”

“The family here was very nice and friendly. They took me to the ATM, to get juice, and to the laundry services for no extra fee. Great place, clean, they have their own store out front, and even have street food vendors. They have the best price for the Ijen tour guide, too. It was a pleasure to stay here, and would definitely stay again!”

“Loves to stay in this hostel. Quiet environment, with cheap place/warung to buy food and groceries. They provide scooter for rent, it really helps me to go anywhere. Free towel, blanket to use, also 'all you can drink' free mineral water, coffee and tea during your stay. Beautiful garden for relax and yoga. So recommended! ”

“first, from the airport go to the hostel, let's take grab or Uber. about 150.000rupi. out the main airport's door, turn left and just walk 3mi to take grab. taxi driver asked 250.000-400.000. the best is call for hostel before, ask Shutter bus, just 60.000rupi/person. if u come at evening. stay at Kuta Bali is better. need about 1-2h hours to go to Ubud from the airport. about the room. I just dont like the bath room. always wet. every thing is the best..breakfast is so great. the staff is so nice..can not complain anything..just the bathroom . close the hostel, there is 1 good restaurant : gusti homestay and warung restaurant . good price , good food, good juice :)”

“Pros: swimming pool, really great and friendly staff, hot showers, peaceful surrounds, free breakfast (best are the omelettes, but the jaffles are too simple in my opinion), clean rooms, and decent hangout spots. Negatives would only be the location, but for people who feel confident enough renting a scooter, it's probably not an issue. Also, they can shuttle you into and out of town for free (to an area near Coco Mart and close by the monkey forest), so it wasn't a huge problem for me.”

“The place is nice, really good feeling since the begaining. Swimming pool,chill area,friendly staff,,really good vibe place. I booked the hammock,and the hammock space its a little bit hot because no fans,but you have your own plug and WiFi it’s quite fast. Location it’s a little bit far from the city center,but ok for that price. Really close to Warung Lotek Pak Mul,an small street food place where you can try the best Lotek (Gado Gado) that I ever tried in Indonesia. You can search it on google by that name.”

“Really nice and clean guesthouse, The owner and his family are really kind and helpful, they will support you in everything that you need (airport, tours) the restaurant has local and western food for a cheap price and good size and quality, they are always keen to share with their guests, so you can learn about their culture and meet local people, we went for 4 days and finally we stayed 2 weeks, good place to relax. I really recommend this place, I hope to come back soon.”

“The place was clean all the time, the rooms were really great so was the breakfast. However they don’t have hot water”

“We are frugal traveler, so we typically do not stay in fancy, luxurious resort and/or hotel. But, we have stayed at a handful over the years in different countries - US, Indonesia (Bali and others), and Australia. I have to say that AYANA resort is BY FAR THE BEST one we've stayed at. It was also the priciest. We booked a room for around AU$250 for 1 night only, but since we had 2 kids with us we had to pay an extra US $100 + 21% (service and tax). But... It was WORTH EVERY PENNY! We're already planning to go back there again for at least 2 nights.”

“Ayana should be the benchmark of true 5 star hotel. The staffs are the best you can find, they are attentive and extremely helpfull. We had a sunset dinner in the Kisik restaurant (much better than the Rock bar) and my partner said, it's the best dinner he ever had: the view is fantastic (book ahead to get the best table), the seafood is fresh and seasoned to perfection, in addition, the price is not extremely expensive. The room, we were lucky to get an upgrade, so we had the Club Suite, it was furnished beautifully, we also get an access to the Club suite and our own reception desk. What can we say, the best 2 days in our life. We went to Rimba as well, since they are in the same compund. Even if the view is amazing from the rooftop and there are more swimming pool, but the service is so far behind Ayana. Keep up the good work Ayana. We will be back again in the future!”

“Great welcome, the hotel has wonderful facilities, they have their own mini-zoo (!) and mini rice fields, playgrounds for kids. The pools are awesome and the service is above my expectations. So far the best deal i had in Indonesia. Thanks Sahid Eminence :)”

“We had previously stayed at Hard Rock hotel Singapore last year - which was our first Hard Rock experience and in our opinion a so-so hotel - so we had moderate expectations before arriving. Well actually we were wrong. The hotel was actually way beyond our expectations. The things that we liked: The atmosphere. The hotel has this one central theme, which is to make you feel like you're a rock star. I think they succeeded on this, there is a continuation of the theme in all parts of the hotel, you can even borrow (or rent?) a fender guitar to play in your room. The staff was also very friendly. The attention to detail. - Hard Rock bali is not a new hotel, I've been to Bali a lot of times, and it's been there as far as I can remember. However, the premises are very well maintained, I even tried searching for broken stuff on the room, finding only the board under the bed is a little old. - WiFi does not require password. This. - No vouchers whatsoever required for breakfast. These little things really made you feel like a spoiled rock star. The pool. The pool is very nice, the kids spent one full day playing in it. The things that we'd like to be improved: The food. The morning buffet was standard. It wasn't bad, but not special too. The dinner buffet could also be improved. The night live music. The music from the cafe is loud and goes on until 1AM. From our room we could feel the bass kicking, especially when we turned everything off to sleep. But hey, it is called Hard Rock hotel right?”

“Booked hotel through agoda. Hotel emailed agoda asking our time of arrival. I replied hotel directly and hotel replied instantly. Hotel transfer was punctual with Great comfortable car. 15 mins drive to hotel from BBT port. Upon arrival, was treated with friendly security and receptionist serving cold Apple tea and wet towels. Plus point, receptionist was able to speak good English. Check in was very fast and efficient. She asked for our ferry return booking confirmation. We have no idea why. There is a mini mart right Infront of lobby. Very smart. We were able to stock up. Villa was so clean and awesome pool. TV with many cable channels HBO to FOX to sports. They have shuttle services to nearest mall Plaza Lagoi. In our case, they drove us personally to the mall. Awesome!. And they fetched us back from mall on time. We were told that due to off peak season, there won't be any buffet breakfast nevertheless they told us they would send the menu to our room to choose. Within seconds, the menu came and was told we could order anything or even Everything on the menu. The best part, it could be serve at 10.30am so we don't have to wake up that early. Our check out time was extended for us to 1.30pm instead of 12 noon. Upon checking out, receptionist handed us our ferry boarding passes. Least that we know, they had done all the tedious work at the ferry before hand with the ferry return booking slip that I handed to her upon check in. We just had to board our ferry. Fantastic service! And will recommend everyone to have their short getaway at this villa!”

“wow! this place just blew us away. yes it is expensive, you're looking at $1k sgd per day for room and food, but it is 5-star and you get what you pay for. the private beach is clean, long with clear blue water and you can use all the amenities of the sister hotel next door and charge to your room. the service here is the best i've ever had, free yoga session, everyone smiling, door-to-door buggy service whenever you like. it was the perfect location to pop the question to my girlfriend (now fiancee :) villa on the rocks was stunning, nice deep jacuzzi and sunrise view over the south china sea.”

“Pros - special channel in Indonesia checkpoint, express Lane no need queue if you are canopi guest. Don't really know how they did this in a government sector but it's damn cool ye -bus service to hotel and checkpoint all provided by hotel. We missed our bus there as we lost something in the hotel but the kind staff arranged a car for us and drove us there. -When we arrived the area, staff serve welcome drink to us whole we were waiting to check in. As soon as you are some checking in, staff will assist you and help you to bring your bags and luggage to the bungee [mini vehicle] and drive you right to your room. The staff even came in to set up the TV and aircon got us and tell us about the area! Very good service!! Gave the friendly staff some tips as we were very pleased with the services! - transport to local seafood restaurants all provided with a 20% discount!. - all activities will subject to a 15% discount if you stay in canopi! - very cozy room with a jacuzzi!”

“We stayed at the hotel for two night. We had the last room on level 3, it was very quiet and we didn't have any disturbing problem mentioned by other customers. Room was nice and clean, view is spectacular (felt like living in the jungle to be honest and we loved it), staff were extremely friendly and helpful with a big smile on their face all the time. They offer shuttle bus service and it was very convenience to get to the Ubud centre. They also have free afternoon tea from 2-5pm! Breakfast was delicious, the food was fresh with a lot of variety, both Western and Indonesia food. The down side is that my boyfriend had dinner at their restaurant and he said it tasted horrible. I wasn't allowed in as I was wearing a swim suite so I guess I was probably lucky!”

“check in = take more than an hour (very very busy) duty manager = VERY BEST handling our problem and our infant, thank you. staff = greets every customer well AC = not cool enough, leave it for hours to get cool room facility = thanks for staff for decorating our room during 1st and 2nd night amenities = VERY BEST! kids club = Best handling our child beach = dirty with seaweed during our stay, but the sand is clean view = best swimming pool = BEST breakfast = VERY BEST (indonesia,japanese,western,italian,chinese,indian food available) -buffet check out = check it twice before you doing check out, it may be busy at 12:00, you may ask for late check out.”

“Checking into the Seminyak was one of the best decisions my fiance and I made during our stay in Bali. Even though it was a bit pricey it was worth every penny. It is definitely a 5 star hotel and lived up to all of our expectations. This hotel could write the definition on cleanliness as our room and every part that we saw of the hotel and ground was spotless! The staff were so gracious and did everything that they could to make our stay as pleasant as possible. The breakfast spread was amazing complete with freshly cooked banana pancakes. The pool area, complete with sun lounges and direct access to the beach was a perfect place to escape and relax. The hotel has their own life guard as well so you feel extra confident going for a dip in the ocean. The room was beautiful with a comfortable king size bed, spa overlooking the sea and was the largest hotel room we have ever stayed in. We will definitely be going back to stay at The Seminyak again.”

“Yes there are a lot of improvements since my last visit to this hotel 2 years ago. Fast check in and out. But still find problems during breakfast. The staff cant manage the queues, well that’s always the problem with alot of hotel in Indonesia. They basically cant manage the queues, such a shame for 4/5 stars hotel! I gave the 2 star for the staff at the restaurant during breakfast only! Be a professional, dont judge people by the skin color, dress they were wear! Such a shame!”

“We spent two nights at the tea garden resort in Lembang, a short drive away from Bandung. For the last night of my long weekend I wanted to have nice comfortable and civilised night at the Padma, which I consider one of the best hotels in Indonesia. I have been staying there since 2001, at least a couple of times a year, and with each renovation the hotel seems to get better. I like the grounds, which have a small zoo of rabbits, goats, geese and some other creatures. Next time I want to bring my 2.5 year old girl to see this. My visitor from Thailand staying at the same hotel and she appreciated the good food. Breakfast, lunch and dinner was great each time, and the price was very reasonable. All in all a great finish for a restful weekend”

“You'll never be wrong with the facilities and beauty of the hotel. Sad side with this hotel is you wil not enjoy the beach as it is for water sport only. We booked this hotel thinking the white sand beach will be enjoyed but, we we're confined with the 2- huge swimming pools. Well anyways, we really enjoyed the pools accessible directly on our rooms. take note pool is 24hours open, with a bar in the middle. We even gave up our 3rd hotel and extended our stay in Anumana. Breakfast you will enjoy well. It is difficult to find western or other asian food in Indonesia but you'll get a great breakfast here. over-all aside from Mosquitoes who will literally eat you by 6pm at the beach front, nothing goes wrong with the hotel. Really enjoyed our stay. Will definitely go back.”

“Our stay at the hotel was very enjoyable, the room was very comfortable and the staff helpful and efficient. Breakfast was included with the room and was exellent, both in variety and quality. Hotel area is very large and although it was almost full, we had no problems finding available chairs close to the pool. The hotel also arranged some unscheduled events while we were there, like a cocktail party in the lobby area where drinks and snacks were free for guests. We did however experience two things of annoyance. While the hotel had free wireless internet with good quality, reception in our room was very poor with the result that to use wireless internet, we had to sit on the balcony. While this solution was acceptable and the hotel provided free power extention cables, it was less than perfect. The other annoyance was that, although the hotel did have a transport service to and from the airport, this was not a free service, something I have become used to from other hotels of similar quality in Indonesia. The transport for two people was also pricy, double the price of a normal taxi fare.”

“excellent resort to recommend to people who want to seclude themselves from their daily stress, urban lifestyles, for a retreat and honeymoon. you are greeted by all staffs with great warm and friendly smiles upon arrival, your way to your villa and until the day you check out ! we booked a garden villa and were upgraded to a deluxe pool villa with a large private pool and a balinese day bed overlooking the tropical hillside !!! the view was breathtaking !!! (when i did my booking, i requested a best view because my husband and i love nature and mentioned that it was my first oversea birthday treat). the management, without fail, made our wish came true and made our stay unforgettable. and i would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere thanks to kamandalu resort and spa's management and all staffs for their warm hospitality ! excellent staff and services !!! and not forgetting our sincere thanks to the chef who specially prepared the grilled mushroom with cheese and bacon toppings for my breakfast on my last day. well done kamandalu !!! (applause....)”

“Both my girlfriend and I enjoyed our stay here at TS Suites over Christmas. We even tried room service on two occasions, which by our surprise, was the best Nasi Goreng during our stay in Bali! breakfast buffet in the morning was good - we particularly enjoyed their omelette and banana and strawberry pancakes made-to-order by their chef. There was also oriental selection at the breakfast such as congee, which was much needed for my girlfriend who happened to have diarrhea on the last day. Although customer service was excellent (as with all Balinese people, they are all so friendly!), there was an episode of miscommunication over charges of phone call which I think was due to language barrier. As a tip, always clarify if you are uncertain! We also found confidentiality was a problem in foreign countries like Indonesia. On the back of a scrap paper we were given, it was a scanned passport page of a fellow traveller. I was completely furious and took this to counter. They explained these are all scanned data and would delete it after our stay. But how could I verify this? If the management team can look into this area and improve this, I would then consider returning to TS Suites. Overall it was a pleasant stay, a hotel that is centrally located in Seminyak.”

“Marvelous, amazing hotel, luxurious new hotel conveniently located for touring the magnificent 8th century biggest Buddhist Botobudur temple and Pramaban temple, and at only 20 minutes from airport .Fantastic fully equipped gym with state of the art exercise devices. Beautiful gigantic infinity pool. Amazing five star food at a 2 star price!! Staff is always smiling! This is one of the best 5 star hotel in Indonesia.”

“The resort was absolutely beautiful! Amazing design around a huge lagoon pool with heaps f tropical plants. We had the pool access room and highly recommend it. The room itself was fantastically designed, with an open concept bathroom (that can also be private), great flatscreen tv with plenty of channels, great amenities (shampoos and body wash etc were good quality), and of course a wonderful view of the lagoon itself. I highly recommend club millesime. We had breakfast there twice of our four mornings, as its nice and quiet when you feel like avoiding the hustle and bustle of the main buffet. They have a high tea 3pm-5pm and tapas 5:50-7:30pm. We actually never went out for dinner because the tapas filled us up enough. They also have a cocktail each night and plenty of wine for free during tapas. All day you can order whatever drinks you like including soft drinks, ice teas, coffee, tea, fresh juices and smoothies. This saved us a lot of money as the prices throughout the hotel are actually really quite expensive (approx. $6 AUD for a coke. The pool table in the club was also great, and although we never used it there is a private pool for club members too. Finally I want to complement the staff who were so welcoming and friendly. The club staff were particularly amazing, as they were so attentive and you never had an empty drink, same as the CCC staff. The lobby staff are great too. My one recommendation to Sofitel is to provide an activities list for the upcoming week to all visitors. They had aqua aerobics and pool volleyball which was heaps of fun, but easy to miss if you weren't at the right place at the right time. Also adding yoga sessions on the beach in the morning would be great, or getting some kayaks? Overall an amazing resort!!!! I've been to quite a few five star resorts and this definitely tops them- I'm already looking to book another stay with them!!!”

“Spent our honeymoon and wife's birthday at Anantara Uluwatu. Greeted with a splendid ocean view from the lobby. The staff were extremely helpful, best service we have gotten in our stays anywhere. The rooms were extremely spacious and clean. The bathroom was amazingly spacious too! The outdoor jacuzzi was a great place to the sounds of waves crashing at night. This hotel has one of the best sunset views in Bali, given the location just at the top of a cliff. The sunset view can be seen from the hotel rooms, restaurant above or at the infinity pool. If you stay at this hotel, GO FOR THE SPA! You will not regret the amount of money you spent on the SPA. The Balinese massages are rhythmic & amazing! The ambiance of the place makes it hard not to relax and fall asleep. The only bad point of this resort is that it is located rather far away from the city. One will need a driver to get anywhere out of the resort. Then again, the serenity of the place can only be available at such deserted part of Bali.”

“Where to begin?! The room was spacious and elegant. It used to be the Hyatt Regency so you can expect all facilities associated with the brand. The ground, the garden, the pool, the foyer, the lobby and more were stylish and well maintained. This is a stylish older property. The lobby foyer was scented with the aroma of Lemongrass ... comforting. The grand piano was used in the morning and in the evening. The restaurant was great. So many choices of food. A popular destination for the local Surabayan. What more can I say? Thoroughly enjoyable stay, will be back for sure. One of the best hotel, I have stayed in Indonesia.”

“Just like my previos stay at this hotel, one of the best five star hotel in Indonesia.”

“the most beautiful and luxury hotel i every seen.. i'v been to many hotels and resort all around the world & specially in Indonesia, and this is one of the best ever.. i love everything about it, i don't want to talk in details because i will never finish and am worried that i will miss something, so i will say it again & again ..everything was so beautiful and beyond expectation & it's the best ever i recommend it to anybody single, couple or family ..love it ..love it.. thank AYANA”

“I really need to point this out that this is one of my favourite hotels I have ever stayed during my several times of travelling to Indonesia. I think the scenery (facing the mountain) is awesome and for those who are looking for peaceful or self time, I would strongly recommend the room with such scenery. My room of 7108 is nice and was well taken care. The food served with lot of varieties and friendly staff are everywhere. This is my first time being in Kota Batu, Malang and to be honest I have not heard about this place before I came here. I was suggested by my colleague to come here as I was on an employment gap before joining new company, and yes I was all by myself, alone! I was so thankful to 2 kind security staff namely Pak Jupri and Pak Dedik for guiding me on the routes to interesting places nearby and telling more about the city as I was confused why there is a city in a city. Thank you so much Pak, without Pak, my 3 nights stay could've been just in a room or the balcony.”

“My boyfriend + I arrived at the U Paasha to start our 6 night stay and were instantly blown away. The staff were so friendly and went above and beyond. We got taken to our room which was far from what we imagined; perfect. The location is central and within walking distance from some of the best restaurants and shopping areas in Seminyak. The buffet breakfast was by far a stand out, and us being major Australian foodies we were very impressed. The only reason I would give 4 stars for 'Facility' is when we were staying the rooftop pool was under construction but still accessible, but didn't worry us too much. Wifi is also very speedy. My boyfriend and I have agreed that the U Paasha is the only place we will stay when in Seminyak. Thankyou!!”

“Arounded by 6.5 hetares (65,000 square meters) of greens with modern Indonesia decorated rooms, villas, huts, and other constructions. All staffs are super friendly, each one of them even the ones who are plucking weeds from gardens greets you with warm smile. They offer in-house free programs and facilities such as outdoor pool, gym and yoga area. They even have bicycles that u can borrow. I tried their spa service and quality is good. There are individual nicely decorated huts as spa rooms with individual showers. Pls do not try to compare the price with local shops because environment and service aren't comparable. I will definitely come back again amd try their villas which have individual swimming pool. It is definitely worth the money. The only thing that I would complain is the traffic between hotel and airport. It took 2 hours from airport to hotel upon my arrivial and 1 hour 40 minutes for departure. The distance is only 40 km, nothing the hotel can do.”

“I booked two 2-bedroom and two 1-bedroom villa and when I arrived the manager Jenny has kindly provide options of upgrading us to one 4-bedroom and one 2-bedroom without any extra charge, so that we can enjoy our happy wedding event altogether living very closely. The butlers are very professional and friendly, always think and plan ahead of us, keep track of our schedule, even help us make our tea! The hotel is superb in every single design details, just if u are afraid of little insects (they are harmless though) u might not really like here. The infinity pool in the lobby and those in the villa are superb too! The breakfast have a wid range of choice, spa does good massage, I had a wonderful wedding there. The only thing I really want to comment is the Indonesia family style banquet we had was no good at all. The venue was great, private and spacious, but the food are not nice. The taste is not bad but the meats of every dishes are over cooked! We can barely chew them...”

“Let me start with our best compliment for the staff at the royal santrian. They are amazing, we always greeted by name. The staff always make sure all of our need is accomodated. If you love privacy and personalized services then this place is for you. The complex not quite big like other resort such as mulia or hyatt they have only 22 villas and the service is very personalized more than you can expected. When we check in they gave us the villa that located quite near the hotel that still on construction beside the resort. The workers can freely see you and whatever you doing in the villa, it's really discomforting for us. We asked them to change villa and they gave us villa that quite far from the construction site and near the lobby and all of our experience change immediately. They give free shuttle to nusa dua area so we go to bali collection in nusa dua by the shuttle. When we're taking breakfast one of their staff greet us and talk to us how they can make our stay more comfortable they're so friendly. They offered us to take the bicycle and ride it around the nusa dua area whiches quite lovely area. The GM also greet us personally when we're having a breakfast. I can't tell you enough about the staff perfomance in here. It's the best staff perfomance ever so far in our travelling experience. We are highly recommending this villa”

“My favorite hotel in Indonesia! Great service and amenities, friendly staff, comfortable and well-designed room. I cannot say enough about this hotel. I love it and would recommend it to anyone.”

“"wow" is the word came from the moment i saw this place. Hidden in the narrow alley, this hotel offer you a luxury stay and great facilities. I booked the suite room and then had updraded to the cottage. It was an impressive 2-floors-cottage. They had a spacious living room and kitchen at first floor and two great bed rooms at the second floor. Each bed room had a modern bathroom with big bathtub and high-tech toilet. Breakfast was superb with local and internationals varieties. Hotel has different entertainments for each night such as movie night and etc. They also had two pools, pub and spa. I tried the spa and they are perfect for a tired body after a long day exploring Bali. The hotel's staff is very helpfull, you can ask them for airport transfer or taxi, if you need it. Beach and the famous Seminyak street is only walk-distance from the hotel. You should also try the Wendy's gelato, they only 5 minutes walk-distance from the hotel. Overall, this is one of my best stay experience in Bali and I really recommended it for everyone who are looking for a relaxing and luxury hotel in the strategic location.”

“we stayed for 4 nights, taken 2 Deluxe rooms for 4 adults and 2 children. At the time of checkin, auto upgraded to Balcony rooms, great. Very clean and neat rooms. Called the hotel a day before and asked for neighbouring rooms and they did their best and gave 2 rooms very close. Friendly staff, responded to our requests. Booked hotel with breakfast, is an excellent choice. Nice variety of breakfast and tasty food as well; omelet counter was the best of all! Great location, walkable to nearby shops and a Minimart is very next to the hotel. Pleasant stay and would love to come back again. Cons: 1) Bathroom wall on the room side is glass with semi covered, not good for privacy. could have put a screen. 2) A dressing mirror outside bathroom could have been better”

“highly recommended. staffs were helpful, breakfast was awesome, n they even provide afternoon tea. we had family rooms and kids have their own privacy. rooms ass big and spacious, my 2 boys loved it totally. cleanliness was good too. location is good, just a short walk to the main Street. ”

“I have been looking forward to my first child free trip in eight years. This was the pick for three friends and I to meet and relax. Easy to find (if you ignore Google Maps and don't listen to Siri). Very welcoming staff and the rooms were huge. Two king single beds with clean linen, just warm enough for the aircon rooms. Breakfast was included every morning and while not the best food you can get, it was plentiful, fresh, cooked well and certainly did the job and we never went without. Staff were also happy to cater when we brought our own bubbly for breakfast (don't judge - it was my birthday and a champagne breakfast was in order!) The location - that is the main factor of this hotel. Right next to the beach and also right where the beanbag bars are, it made getting to sunset beach drinks a breeze. The pool is big and warm, with varying levels so swim and lay in, along with a swim up bar. We never had too much trouble getting sun beds and while half our group moved to follow the sun, a huge tree between the pool and the beach gave sensational shade, as did the pool side umbrellas. It is definitely a 3 star hotel in the grand scheme of hotels but it is a top notch 3 stars and a fantastic, big, quiet hotel, perfect for relaxing and using as a base to get around Seminyak and other areas. Snacks are available all day - the mixed satay was delicious. The hotel also left me a complementary birthday cake in my room, which was both very thoughtful AND delicious!! All in all, I will definitely be returning.”

“we just stayed in this bcc hotel for a night and regret that we should have stay longer period.... it is a very nice hotel which i would say "maybe the best hotel" in batam indonesia.... it is a new hotel, therefore almost all the furnishment are newly setup. we have an upgrade to the premium room by the reception and the room is huge (the kids were able to play and run around in the room even with an extra bed setup). i guess the deluxe room should be quite huge as well... the breakfast is nice but variety is not too much. it's a mixture of asian & american breakfast style. there is a swimmming pool including a warm water jazzcui; it's quite relaxing to enjoy in the swimming pool. also, there is a gym which is big with all sort of bodybuilding equip, even comes with a room for aerobic. overall, i would say "thumbs up thumbs up & thumb up" for this bcc hotel. i will definitely stay in this hotel again if i am to travel to batam indonesia. cheers....”

“It is a simple 3 star hotel, proper beds showers, with all necessary amenities a hotel should have. Reception is very friendly and helpful even if they’re over loaded, they can manage. Room is big with lots of sunlight coming in, love it. Most importantly, air conditioning is PERFECT. So good. Tv comes with cable so there’s good selection. Also, the hotel allows grab Drivers to pick u up, so no problems trying to rearrange driver to meet somewhere else and your bike/car can just wait for you at the lobby, perfect. Pool is clean, staff are very polite and also experienced. I was so comfortable that I extended the stay. Location is not in the main Kuta but no worries, order a grabbike and you can travel anywhere in a short time! Bike rides to Seminyak and Kuta range from USD1 or less! Super cheap. Overall not the best hotel but good enough for me to come back and have a good rest. I would totally come back again. Also, the hotel receives bus loads of Indian guests, but it didn’t bother me. Overall front desk security and housekeeping were all very friendly. Hot shower works perfect. Would love to go back there again.”

“We booked through Agoda and there was an issue with our booking, although we had paid and had confirmation from Agoda, it didnt get through to the hotel. I am the biggest stresshead, i thought we lost the ocean view villa i was dreaming about for months. The gentleman at the service desk was AMAZING...he reassured me and said dont worry i can see your paperwork, we will get you your room. Our room was booked but he managed to get us into the two bedroom private ocean view villa instead of our one bedroom, so i got my dream! We received a phone call in our room from another person, who accused us of lying about the room. We saw the man at the front desk who apologized and assured us there was a miscommunication and they are working it out with Agoda. After that misshap, and because of the lovely man at reception, we had a WONDERFUL stay. The view was breathtaking, the villa was the best ive experienced. The staff are all so incredibly beautiful and polite. Will recommend 100%”

“Sadly it was my last night in Bali before heading home to Sydney on the late Jetstar flight. I hadn't booked any accomodation for the night as I had been staying in Ubud but wanted to be closer to shopping & the airport for my last day/night. I found a 2 bedroom Villa on Agoda @The JAS Villas right in the hub of Seminyak at a super cheap rate so booked it & I was gobsmacked at how awesome the Villa was. The staff were amazing & arranged a 7.30pm checkout the next evening which was bang on for me to get to the airport on time for my flight. My only regret is that I didn't discover this gem earlier in my stay. I will definitely be staying at The JAS Villas on my next trip to Bali. The location was perfect, just down a laneway from all the action in Seminyak yet when in the Villa it was tranquil & super relaxing, you would never know that a 3 min walk away was the hub of Seminyak clubs, bars & restaurants. And right at the end of the laneway across the road was a 24 hr restaurant WINNING”

“we only stayed one night in this hotel before moved to ubud, overall we were very happy with our staying experience here. the hotel is relatively new with modern-style facilities, our room is very small but clearly it has been well-designed for sufficient use of its limited space, the room is very clean and beds are comfy, ac works well and is self-adjustable, free wi-fi, lcd tv with clear channels (unlike many hotels which rather have blur channels). hotel service is good: staffs at reception counter speak well english and are very friendly with their smiles, we were served with hot face towel while doing our check-in. the best thing about this hotel is its location: if you like nightlife then this hotel has probably one of best locations in legain: it's right on the busy street of the jalan legain with many bars/restaurants/karaokes/spas on both directions of the road, you don't need a taxi imo if you just want to experience the nightlife, you will probably find that walking is often quicker than taxis especially during evening. overall this is a very comfortable/good value for money hotel to stay in but do not expect anything too fancy - you pay for the location and this hotel absolutely deserves its 3.5 star standard”

“Concept rooms and corridors from the moment you step into the hotel till you leave. Spacious and clean rooms and bathtub. Hotel staff never fails to greet you and they can help with booking restaurants and tours. Best "THE SHACK" to hangout at the rooftop with awesome music, great sunset views and good sun for tanning. Close walking distance to the beach, some cheap local food nearby and lotsa cafes and restaurants. Anything from the menu breakfast made to order and they get served in 5 minutes!!! Wifi is good too. Try it!”

“The best thing about this hotel is the location: it is very near business offices as well walking distance from shopping malls and restaurants. Hotel security is pretty good and staff are very warm, courteous and helpful. Internet connection can be unstable at times, but I suppose that is pretty common in Indonesia. Stayed here for 11 days on a reserach trip, and this is so far one of the most comfortable hotels I have stayed in.”

“My wife and I have had an excellent stay (1 week) in Puri Santrian, which truely is a 4 star hotel. The hotel is well located right on the cleanest beach of Sanur and close to many restaurants and shops. Kuta beach (30 min) as weel as Ubud (45 min) can be reached easily without traffic issues. It was not clear whether the room we booked (beach wing) was already occupied or simply did not exist at all, but we were uppgraded in a Premier Deluxe room which was just fantastic, comfortable, super clean (twice per day !), very well furnished and decorated. The garden of the hotel, where most rooms are, is really worth the look. 2 nice pools, great spa (a full body massage for 2 worth 90$ was even offered to us when we decided to extend our stay. The food is very good and at resaonnable price; breakfast was great (choice and quality). The staff was really nice and helpful in organizing trips and visits throughout the island; they even helped us to be refunded for a boat tour which took twice the normal time. Comparing with other hotels, I think this is one of the best value for money hotel in Southern Bali. We will definitely choose thise hotel again if we go back to Bali.”

“We stayed at the Bene Hotel for 4 days. Check-in was smooth and the staff provided us with wet towels and juice during check-in. We found the staff to be extremely friendly and well-mannered. Everybody from the security and front desk staff to the restaurant staff greeted us with big smiles. Our room was on the first floor overlooking the restaurant. Though several reviews had complained about the internet, we faced no such issues and had a good browsing experience. Breakfast was good and there was good variety in the breakfast spread. We informed the staff during check-in that we were vegetarians. The restaurant staff made sure that they prepared separate vegetarian dishes each day. The room was just like how it is in the photos. This is a new hotel and everything looked new and clean in our room. Both hot and cold water were available in the shower. The two best things about this hotel are its close proximity to the beach and its quiet environment despite being so close to the beach. Kuta beach is five minutes away by walk and there are many restaurants, mini marts (convenience stores) and spas on the way to the beach. The alley leading to the hotel was well-lit and the place was safe, so we had no issues walking back to the hotel late at night. As we had an early-morning checkout, the hotel staff booked us a Bluebird taxi to the airport and ensured that our check-out was swift. They also offered and provided us with vegetarian breakfast boxes during check-out. Overall, our Bali experience was made memorable by the staff at The Bene Hotel. I would definitely recommend this hotel and would have no qualms staying here again.”

“It's a very nice hotel, in a very good location: Seminyak is probably the best place to stay if you go to Bali, and there's a very nice street with restaurants and shops for tourists just by the hotel. So, nice and clean, with a nice swimming pool, nice breakfast, everything nice. And still, I preferred the Mutiara: smaller hotel, nicer swimming pool (though more noisy), and nicer breakfast. In any case, both are very good options. (the only thing I liked better about the Amadea is that we had a closed bathroom; the open-air bathroom that we had at Mutiara, and which seems to be relatively popular in high-end hotels in Indonesia, is very "romantic" as a general idea but not so great in practice for urbanites such as myself).”

“would say this is the best hotel in kuta. it has everything to offer. we had a great stay. the hotel provides free wifi, complimentary dvd player, and even a laptop!!. the breakfast at pavoz restaurant was awesome with lots of varieties on a daily basis catering for both vegetarian and non-veg. location - just 5 minutes walk to discovery shopping mall, bali ratu spa is just opposite the hotel, authorized money changer - check with the hotel, tour packages - u may book via the hotel or through any of the travel agencies outside the hotel. food - varieties of restaurants around the hotel. from starbucks, pizza hut, domino's, chinese, western, balinese etc... shopping: go to kuta art market, kuta market, discovery mall, centro and of course matahari. you don't have to take a cab, just walk from the hotel. it takes just 15 minutes. good cheap shopping - krisna shopping store!!! a must go! cheap place for souvenir comparing with other outlets at kuta.”

“We booked this hotel for Honeymoon, but unfortunately our hotel room had problem with Aircondition. So hotel staff relocated us to other property but same management where located just right on the front of Seminyak Beach. They gave us big Villa for stay at the front of Seminyak beach which had 2 big bed room, Swimming Pool and Guest Room. Very pleasant place to stay and appreciate to the Hotel staff that always provide best service for the customer”

“I stayed in one of the Swirl Room of this hotel for 3 nights with my mother, and we absolutely loved it. Such a big room for such a good price! (Thanks Agoda). The breakfast buffet is amazing: so varied and delicious, and with the prime views of the rooftop restaurant. We had dinner at the restaurant in 2 of our nights and we absolutely loved everything we ordered. Each plate was delicious, fresh and used the best ingredients. I absolutely recommend the fresh tuna salad - the best I have ever had at such a good price! (Prices were actually really good for a hotel restaurant in a rooftop, very cheap relative to Australian prices, obviously expensive compared to street/warung food in Seminyak). In fact, you can totally get a main dish for the same price as a cocktail :)”

“It was a last minute booking but its all wort it! its a new apartment hotel thats why i booked! the Best part is the pool facing the beach, bar on the left side also facing beach what a amazing experience with sunset :) room is big with complete kitchen appliances you can cook and after that use the dishwashing liquid so no problem of cleaning. Breakfast a lot of choices. staff is really helpfull in all inquiries specialy Mr emanuel he help us for all inquiries we need and gave suggestions Thank u! for the room book what u really want beacuse if you want to transfer facing the view u want and which location it will be additional fee and lastly wifi connection not bad we can play ML all day hahahahahha Thank u again guys! we will come back! (hoping to concider to have a free cake if anyone is celebrating birthday/anniversary it will be additional happiness and memories to who ever will celebrate to ur place thats all ;) ...)”

“This is one of the best hotel/villa I have stay in my 10 years travelling. The design of the villa represent the unique of Balinese culture. I book a villa with private pool and the room is spacious and authentic design. The hygiene is perfect and need to praise to the villa staff too, as very friendly, polite and helpful which represent the beauty of Balinese. I enjoy the Galungan Festival here and the staff is very happy to help me wear sarung. The breakfast is much better taste than the other restaurant in Ubud, make us rather back to villa to have our dinner than try and error at center Ubud. The environment of villa is quiet and very private, make us feel can relax and in overall we have a very good experience staying in Dwaraka. Very highly recommended.”

“I spent 16 days in Indonesia and found that this hotel is the best.. The room is clean, the staffs are very nice and friendly, the hotel is located at the main street and closed to the supermarket (you can walk just like 3 mins), and the hotel is also closed to the beach, and breakfast is really cool! :D”

“The hotel is of best value. Amazing service and fantastic food. Staff were so polite and accommodating In total we stayed five days at this hotel and greatly enjoyed the quiet and comfort .The rooms were clean , although a little dated.The service from the friendly , attentive staff was excellent. There are numerous restaurants in the hotel but they are expensive .However breakfast is included and is excellent.It is not located in the best position and a taxi or tuk tuk is needed to go anywhere. However the price made up for any shortcomings”

“This is rated as the best boutique hotel in Indonesia by one of the magazines and we can understand why. Beautiful location at Northern tip of Lembongen and fab restaurants nearby although the hotel bar is well-priced especially at happy hour. A manager was leaving so all guests invited to the party including free buffet while there. Any issue (village rooms can be noisy so recommend sea view) and the staff bend over backwards to help--in our case moving us to a lovely alternative room. There are other sites cheaper than Agoda, but their rate includes boat transfers both ways, which would have cost another £40 for two.”

“Our stay was short but very pleasant. I would definitely recommend this hotel to other people. One thing though, if a traveller plans to do a lot in other districts of Jakarta, it may take a lot of time to reach the destination due to heavy traffic jam on the streets of Indonesia capital.”

“We stayed at Batu Karang for three nights, and I didn't want to leave. The service received upon first arriving on the Island of Lembongan was fantastic. We had a representative from the hotel come pick us up from the beach and walk us to the hotel (it's not a long walk), while other staff from the hotel took our bags from the beach to the hotel. We were greeted with a drink and refreshing towels, then given a tour of the resort. We stayed in a villa and it was beautiful, it literally looked just like the photos; and our bags were already in our room. Breakfast was inclusive in our stay, the breakfast was a la carte but you could order anything and as much as you wanted as part of breakfast and was still covered by the included breakfast. The food was delicious as were their cocktails. The resort also organised a snorkel trip for us which was really memorable as we got to swim with manta rays, and it was very reasonably priced. Upon check out the representative at the counter received a call, and asked if we had left a watch in the room. I'd left my watch behind in the safe but someone came down and returned it to me at the reception; I didn't even know I had left it behind, so I'm very grateful. We'd always get asked when we'd go out exploring the island where we were staying and every time we'd answer Batu Karang we'd get told it was the best place on the island; and I can see why, we had a flawless stay and only the best service.”

“Pros: The hotel is set within nice gardens which are well maintained and is just a short walk from the busy main Senggigi strip and beach. The staff are friendly and helpful and the room is a good size. The cafe by the main gate sells coffee which is pretty good. Cons: The cleanliness lets the hotel down, the bathroom had dust and dirt in the corners and didn't really feel clean. The "free minibar" that Agoda highlights is 4 bottles of water, 3 cans of soft drink and a packet of crisps. We've stayed in much better 3* hotels in Indonesia that were more reasonably priced. It needs maintenance and tlc.”

“Location, Food,Services, Staff,Facilities, Advice on tours and what to do and where to go...All 5 ⭐️ in my books..

Pack your bags only one needed... Thanks you Legian Beach Hotel and Staff for a good Realaxing time and Services all round see you Next Year!!! 2017”

“We enjoyed staying in this hotel, even though the location is far back but it is still great location to other places (It's located in the heart of Seminyak). Staff is great, friendly, and professional. However, the cleanliness of the hotel and the way the clean the room is a little bit below my standard, so I have to give 3 star instead of 5, we found a stain on our bed sheet even though it has been changed. Facilities is quite complete, they provide baby coat for our 10 months old baby and she is super happy. Overall this is a great price point of view and give you the best value for money.”
