This is the third time we have stayed here. It’s a friendly, clean group of villas. Breakfasts are freshly made and delicious. The pool is small but nice. We will definitely stay again. We have stayed in the normal rooms, and the family room at the end. The only room I don’t like is the one with the upstairs bedroom and the lower level looks like a cheap lobby
We stayed here for a week whilst diving with Let’s Dive Tulamben - the best dive school around. The hotel is idyllic, set in a beautiful garden which the staff water and tend endlessly. There are amazing views of the sea from the dining room which is set on a small balcony and Mount Agung is behind. There are only about 6 rooms. The first two days it was just our family of four. There were more staff than us and we felt totally spoilt. Amazing value too - £50 per night B&B for all four of us in two en-suite rooms. The food is lovely and reasonably priced. There is no need to go out. Dishes are served one at a time as they are cooked individually which means that they are wonderfully fresh. Komang arranged for a driver to collect us from Sanur. It was all so simple. If you want peace and quiet, this is the place for you. Totally relaxing Balinese retreat. Thank you!…
It's a beautiful and quite place! The room it's super comfortables,spacious and clean! The beds are very comfortable! Has air con, wardrobe with shelves, TV, and coffee facilities. The bathroom it's big and super nice shower. Has a little balcony that is very pleasant. The whole property it's really beautiful with lots of plants and super well maintained. The staff are wonderful! So welcoming and polite, really nice people! Breakfast area with sea view and good options. They offer transfer besides also helping you with everything. It's a great place to stay away from the main road but super close to everything. Truly recommend! Regards Sam and Hernán
The room is nice, comfortable bed and you get two free bottles of water each day. There’s a few movie channels in English available if you wanted to watch one! The homestay isn’t too far from the beach and is walkable, 5/10 minutes from restaurants, mini mart and ATM. We had our laundry done, all came back clean and ironed but hadn’t dried properly so it all had a very bad smell. All the staff are lovely, the owner acted very strangely though. We rented her snorkel equipment the first day to go snorkelling with a guide that she arranged for us, my advice is to rent them near the beach! The life jackets are more for boats than snorkelling and are falling apart from the inside out, we ended up just using a couple of her things and rented elsewhere as well. We planned on going snorkelling the next day with the same guide and when the owner asked we said we didn’t need to rent her snorkelling gear (one day out of two isn’t bad surely?), clearly she took exception to this as when our guide arrived she told him we were still in bed and hadn’t yet had breakfast when actually she’d seen us have breakfast an hour before and knew we were waiting for him. She then lied to us and said he’d come an hour before he actually had, it begs the question, why didn’t she knock on our door? (Which reminds me, they aren’t shy about knocking on your door up to 9pm at night to see if you’re coming for dinner, I took this as a courtesy at the time but looking back I’m not so sure) Luckily we caught up with the guide later in the day and explained what had happened, we still rented our snorkelling equipment from him. A spiteful move from the owner just because she couldn’t get any more money out of us. Ridiculous business strategy if you ask me. Breakfast was disappointing, advertised as a full English/Irish breakfast which it is far from. We had pancakes one day and they were barely cooked. Overall a nice little place if you’d like somewhere on the cheaper side, nice staff, questionable management, eat elsewhere!…
We stayed in Ocean Villa & Homestay for 3 lovely nights. The nearby volcano was active during our stay in tulamben, so there were not so many other tourists around. Basicly we shared the whole hotel with 2 other people so it really felt like a personal paradise. Staff of the hotel is very friendly, rooms and other facilities were clean. Hotel restaurant is very very good and cheap, in my opinion the best in tulamben!. The hotel is few hundred meters from the main road so there are no traffic noises around. If we are ever going back to tulamben, Ocean Villa & Homestay is definately our choice.
Everything was perfect. Comfortable bed, pillows, air-conditioning, and very quiet - slept really well during my stay. The staff were superb, all really helpful and friendly. Loved the complementary breakfast, especially the nasi goreng! There were also complementary bottles of the water in the room and a mini-fridge, which I really appreciated (ice cold water after a long hot day!). The hotel was up a small hill from the main road, so is a little further from the beach than most other places but was very quiet and peaceful. Plus there was a great view of the ocean from the restaurant! Perhaps not directly related to the hotel but the driver that they arranged to take me back to Kuta on my last day was rather unprofessional. He stopped to purchase personal items, and complained incessantly when we were caught in the Kuta traffic. He also didn't have navigation and I had to direct him on google maps to the hotel, which he also failed to spot on the first go up a narrow one-way street. This was just the driver though, doesn't take points off the hotel itself, which was very lovely!…
We stayed here for 4 nights before we had to leave due to Mount Agung threatening to erupt! The rooms are clean, comfortable and provide a perfect base to dive/explore Tulamben. The pool is lovely, the massages were heaven and the food was very good. It is a 5 min walk onto the main road where there are a number of restaurants and bars to choose from. Tom and Komang were lovely hosts. We would definitely return here in the future and I hope the volcano settles down very soon and the area can re open and get back to business as usual.
My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights and it was fantastic! We would have stayed longer but we did not have enough time. The location is great, Tulamben is not much more than a road with dive shops, a few restaurants and some villas/dive resorts. The location of this place is just off the main road, up far enough to be away from noisy motorcycles and to have a sense of peacefulness, but close enough to walk to the Main Street where there are restaurants. However, the food at Ocean Villa and Homestay is great, as everything is cooked from scratch and there really is no need to eat elsewhere! We tried several different restaurants that were okay. The room is simple but clean and the mattress soft. What we really like about this place was the feeling of relaxation and calmness. And NO CHICKENS chatting at 4am... Finally the staff, you guys are wonderful! The owner is super friendly and accommodating, while the rest of the staff are very kind. Thank you for a truly enjoyable stay. …
We stayed here last week for the first time and loved it! We had actually been staying at another hotel close by, on the same street but went to extend our stay and they were already fully booked and we had to find another place for one more night... We are glad we found this place as it has become our new fav place in the area and 100% we will be back soon for sure as we regularly visit the area given that my wife is from Tianyar. The rooms are lovely, has a TV, fridge, nice bathroom, ac, and a very comfy bed... The Pool is nice and is quite quiet. The restaurant has an amazing view and the food was simple but tasty with fair prices - we enjoyed it. One of the biggest plus's for us was the place is dog friendly and we could take our small lap dog with us, that is very immportant to us! We had to check out early in the morning at 4am to get back to denpasar in time for commitments but the staff actually offered to make us breakfast the night before so we could have it in the morning (cold) this was not really part of their job but was going above that and we thought it was a really nice thing to do. The only thing i would like to see added is more channels on the TV - like Hbo movies and hits... that is not at all a complaint, just something that would make a much better experiance in my opinion. I have heard the owners are a mixed couple, Balinese and Australian, so we do look forward to meeting them on our next trip here. Keep up the good work guys!…
We stayed in Ocean Villa for a night while travelling to Lovina. The villa is new clean and neat. Staffs were friendly and we felt home. Diving centers are like a KM away from the stay and you will find a plenty of them if you take a walk. Also can negotiate the price. Breakfast was OK kind with very less options.
