    Bed was extra extra firm with only one pillow each. Bathroom on the balcony is ok if you are a guy otherwise the neighbours and people walking by can get an eye full as walls only waist high.

    wifi was not great unless you stood right next to the router. But also then it wasn't very good. Pillows could have been a bit more comfy but that is personal I suppose. Big and a bit hard and only 1 pillow. Im sure they would have given me another pillow if I asked, but I only remembered it late at night when staff had gone home. And see above regarding cash.

    Great location of this hotel right by the beach. Really lovely place to sit and have the delicious breakfast they served at the hotel. Room was clean, shower good and bed comfortable enough. Bathroom is outside which we loved. Staff was super helpful and friendly. Balian Beach is a beautiful place. So much more quiet than other places we have been to in Bali. We absolutely loved it. At the start we weren't sure but now its one of the highlights of our trip even though we are no surfers. I wanted to take lessons but the waves were pretty darn high so didn't dare :). We went for twice a day for yoga with Niki @balianspirityoga that was a short walk from the hotel. Yoga at the hotel was not happening when we were there as too quiet (end of feb) but Niki is a fantastic teacher so glad it wasn't happening at the hotel or I wouldn't have met Niki. We finished each night at Rekis Warung a brilliant spot for sunset and delicious local foods. Make sure to bring cash to Balian as many places do not take cards and the nearest cashpoint don't accept most of the European cards. We had to take a taxi for 30 minutes to get to a cashpoint that took our cards.

    Not the fault of the hotel, but after a big rain, the water quality for surfing got really bad. We had to stay out of the water for two days.

    Great location, attentive staff and unique decor. This was one of our favorite places to stay on Bali. We had massages from Ria that were AMAZING. Food was better than expected and a great value. Good air conditioning and clean rooms.

    I stayed in C3 which was super clean but quite small and dark. I know it was high season but to be honest I think it was expensive at more than $100AUD per night. I think it would also be ok to eliminate smoking from restaurant🙏

    I’ve stayed before as the beach front location is unbeatable. The Healthy Breakfast included was fresh clean and delicious. The yoga with Valentina was fantastic and massage with Ayu was the best I’ve had ever in Bali! All the staff we warm friendly and helpful. The day I arrived the weather was wild and wet but staff remained positive and continually mopped wiped and maintained the restaurant 🙏

    Only go here if you come for the surfing. The surfing is big and only suitable if you are an experienced surfer. Except the hotel and surf, there’s almost nothing else to do in the area. beach is black and the water is brown from the river. We did not do any yoga so that could change our perspective of the place.

    The hotel itself is good. Beautiful location. Good view. Super friendly and helpful staff. Nothing wrong with the hotel

    Unfortunately the strong efforts to make the hotel harmonious with nature backfires a bit. The ponds outside the rooms attract frogs that scream to each other ALL night! I've lived over a train station and can generally fall asleep amidst any exterior noise however, these critters communicate at an excruciating pitch that had me poking surf wax in my ears. It is the ONLY criticism I have of the place but I'm serious about how extreme the issue is.

    This place is perfectly placed on the beach and is beautiful and extremely charming. The staff were very friendly and helpful. This is an ideal place for both surfers and yogis.

    Wifi was not good in the rooms, better by the restaurant but not easy to do a zoom call from there due to noise.

    The garden rooms were spacious and so nicely decorated. The bed was super comfortable. Location is awesome and the staff are so friendly and helpful.
