The hot water gets colder if you take a long shower so you need to keep adjusting the faucet to maintain your preferred temperature.

The building itself is gorgeous and feels authentic Minangkabau style. There is a lot of space in the room to move around. The hot shower heats fast and only needs minimal adjustment to find the 'feels just right' temperature setting.

It is a fairly steep 20 minute walk up to the centre/shops - particularly in the rain, but that's what makes the place peaceful.

The location and the buildings are gorgeous, with traditional minangkabau architecture set in a rice paddy. At night, you can hear the frogs - it feels like you're deep in the forest! The beds are comfortable and the room is light and airy. The food at the café is also "sedap", with freshly cooked breakfast. Staff were very helpful in organising activities and transport.

Nothing, everything was great

Fantastic location, beautiful room, we had an upgrade which we really enjoyed. great balcony with very comfortable chairs! Great large bed, good and tasty food and very friendly staff. If you go to Bukittingi, this place is a really great choice!!! Also a bike tour through the rice fields is a great experience! Check out Roni’s travel fir bikes.

Beautiful and comfortable rooms in traditional Rumah Gadang style buildings, located in the middle of the rice fields. The location is perfect, very quiet but just outside of Bukittinggi. And the views of the valley are absolutely stunning. The staff are friendly and helpful as well. Jaka is always close by to answer questions or take you on a trip to some of the local sites.

There are some mosquitoes, however the mosquito nets over the beds helped.

Beautiful outlook over the padi fields and a lovely, friendly and relaxing atmosphere made our stay very special. The food was family friendly.

I didn’t enjoy the local burning their organic matters but it happens across Sumatra so it isn’t the property’s fault.

We spent a little more than two weeks in West Sumatra, and Padi Ecolodge was our favourite accommodation in our trip. We love the raw and relaxing vibe of the ecolodge. We miss waking up in the morning seeing shrews and birds on the tree right from our bed. We miss falling asleep and waking up to the sound of nature. We also miss Rio (nickname Yok) who listens to our juicy day report in the evening. We loved it so much that we decided to extend another night (and cancel our trip to Harau Valley). Thanks Jaka for helping us with booking Ayu travel to Kerinci.

Nothing

Padi is a magical place in the middle of the rice fields and just outside the city center (15 minutes walk). The rooms are confortable, the food is delicious (especially the banana pancakes for breakfast) and the staff is AMAZING. Everyone was super friendly, great guides on tours and experienced drivers. Thank you for the lovely stay!

The mattress is too soft for comfort sleeping

Nice location and view, exceptional architecture. Breakfast: watermelon, ananas, coffee, bread, nutella, omelette.

There is very little WiFi signal so it was difficult at times to connect with our family. There is a cafe not far from the lodge which has loud karaoke music till quite late with loud bass, so not actually something wrongwith the lodge which was pretty much perfect!

The room was very spacious, with an incredibly comfortable bed and great pillows, the windows all opened so we could have a lovely breeze flowing through. No AC, just a fan but as Bukittingi is cooler a fan was plenty, in fact at night we sometimes used the blanket! We had a lovely balcony with chairs so could sit out there, the bathroom was heaven! Hot water, decent pressure in the shower, nice clean toilet. Lovely gardens too and right next to the rice paddies. Nice breakfast too, pancakes or omelette plus fresh fruit, toast, tea and coffee.

nothing really

it was in a very pretty setting. the staff were very helpful. Jacka (hope I spelled that right)came over to Harau Valley to pick us up. another employee Rio spent a considerable amount of time driving us to onward destinations. He explained various things about the places we went which we didn’t know.

If you don't want a banana pancake, you can ask for an Indonesian breakfast.

The Padi Ecolodge is absolutely unique! The buildings are quite magical, with the walls leaning further out on each floor. The setting is also unique being in the middle of the rice fields but also just outside the city of Bukkitinggi. They organised the scooter for us which was delivered directly to us. Just be careful riding over the rice paddy walls! The woodwork of the buildings is amazing.

All good.

Traditional buildings located in a quiet valley, among rice fields. Very natural setting by a creek, in the forest. Very close to the middle of the town with shopping and restaurants close by. Clean. Nice sitting area and colorful garden. WiFi worked well.

The karaoke at a nearby restaurant was very loud until early hours of the morning. But this is a tricky issue to resolve in the community according to the owner.

The location and atmosphere was amazing! So peaceful and beautiful.
