We were looking for a place to relax, and this was it. The staff treated us like family, the accomodation we could not fault, the cleanliness was wonderful, the food very enjoyable. The included breakfast being served at a large round table brought people together once a day to enjoy new faces from all over the world, The pool area... More

The fact that my picky pre-teen daughter loved Pondok Ayu pretty much sums it up. My wife and I traveled to Bali with our two children in April. Our home is close enough to a number of nice beaches so we wanted to sightsee, learn about the Balinese culture, and eat plenty of local food instead. Gede the manager and... More

We have just returned from our second stay at Pondok Ayu and it will not be our last! I have travelled to Bali six times, including four times with my young family, and the reason I love Bali is because of the people. Pondok Ayu is the real Bali, yes it is a little distance from the beach but once... More

Just returned from a fabulous holiday in Bali. I hadn't been there for 25 years so there were huge changes. After not having had a holiday in 3 years I was looking for peace and quiet. Pondok Ayu is the perfect place to do that away from all the street and beach hawkers and very private and secure. Yes it... More

The hotel itself is friendly, clean, and small (just 5 rooms!) but I found the location difficult. We booked at this hotel as they provided stroller and high chair, however, using the stroller to walk to the beach was near impossible! A 6 lane By-pass has to be crossed! It became a physical and psychological barrier for me. My dream... More

We were very impressed with everything at Pondok Ayu. Gede, the manager, was waiting for us at the airport with a big smile that never faded througout. The hotel was beautiful, peaceful, stylish and clean. The location in the residential area meant that it was lovely and quiet and away from all the bustle of the beach, however it meant... More

Travelling by myself I found Pondok Ayu to be friendly & supportive. A lovely atmosphere in the residential part of Sanur. A bit of a walk to the beach but it is worth it. Rooms & gardens are relaxing & a refuge from the heat & hustle & bustle of the beach. I will certainly stay there again.

My partner and i stayed here in March 2013 for 4 nights, we absolutely enjoyed the entire stay here, the room was great - the gardens beautiful, the breakfast very good and the staff and owners were really really lovely. Located in a quiet residential area of Sanur not that close to the beach but it didnt matter to us... More

After reading the reviews my expectations were high. From my first email, asking about availabilities, i felt like family. The background - The hotel is more like a villa and about 10min walk from the beach (the beaches in bali aren't that great)... but this place feels like home. We stayed in the king room (massive lounge room, huge king... More
